"Not up for it?" Zuo Xingyun glanced at her and said, "Truth be told, I don't want to go, but Shi Nian'an insisted on calling me along, saying it's like the first dinner gathering for partners, an invitation I can't decline."
Xiang Wan wasn't surprised that Shi Nian'an had contacted him privately, nor did she make a fuss about him joining the dinner. She simply couldn't figure out what got into him—given his usual busyness, he wouldn't have free time to join the hubbub. She guessed he must be on some odd medication.
Just out for a casual meal, this guy still dressed up so formally, a spotless white shirt with black trousers. Luckily, he complained about the weather being hot and didn't bother with a tie. He unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, barely revealing the sexy lines of his throat and collarbone, which allowed him to appear a tad more casual and less intimidating to deal with.
