Ruan Xiangchen put down his utensils and wiped his mouth with a napkin, asking, "Miss Xia, have you had enough to eat?"
Xia Liyou nodded, then turned to look at Ai Wei. Knowing that she was anxious, Ai Wei also put down her utensils and said, "I'm full too."
Since both ladies were done eating, it would be improper of Ruan Xiangchen to make them wait for him.
Coincidentally, a waiter was passing by. He called out, "Check, please."
Upon hearing the call, the waiter instinctively stopped.
"Please wait a moment," the waiter said respectfully to Chengtian, before going to get their bill.
Xia Liyou, lost in thoughts while staring out the window, did not notice a man standing not far behind her, looking extremely irritated.
This man exuded an impressive aura, making people shiver, but his handsome features still attracted stealthy glances.
Ai Wei was the first to notice him.
Her eyes seemed glued to this man, not blinking at all.
She hadn't imagined that such a man existed in this world.
She had thought Ruan Xiangchen was already the cream of the crop, but this man, he was even more extraordinary.
When beauty is within reach, it cannot be hoarded alone.
Ai Wei quickly pulled Xia Liyou, and showed her the stunningly handsome man.
Xia Liyou's long lashes fluttered as she pulled her gaze away, and followed Ai Wei's direction, her feeling akin to being struck by lightning.
After being stunned for two seconds, she quickly turned her head and buried it low.
Chengtian was becoming impatient. He was just about to leave when the waiter arrived with the bill in hand, stopping him in his tracks, he said with an apologetic smile, "Sir, please wait just a moment, It will be ready soon."
After saying that, he immediately handed the bill to Ruan Xiangchen.
Chengtian stood there, godlike, just beside their table, his eyes revealing a touch of impatience.
From her angle, Ai Wei could admire the perfect lines of his face.
When Ruan Xiangchen reached into his wallet, he noticed Xia Liyou was looking down, as if she was searching for something. He asked softly, "Miss Xia, are you looking for something?"
Xia Liyou, looking distressed, quickly shook her head.
But she was still burying her head low, which looked odd.
If she's not looking for something, then it must be stomach discomfort.
"Are you feeling unwell? Is it stomach discomfort?" Ruan Xiangchen asked worriedly.
Hearing Ruan Xiangchen's voice, Ai Wei also shifted her gaze from the handsome man to Xia Liyou, looking worried.
Thankfully, after Ruan Xiangchen paid, the waiter immediately led Chengtian to a private room. He didn't have the time to mind other people's business.
He didn't bother to give even a casual glance to anyone unrelated to him.
Only after Chengtian was out of sight did Xia Liyou lift her head, heaving a silent sigh of relief.
But then she felt it odd; why was Chengtian here?
He couldn't possibly be here for her, so, was he here for business?
Seeing Xia Liyou lost in her thoughts, Ai Wei supported her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Regaining her senses, Xia Liyou forced a smile, "No, I felt slightly unwell just now, but I'm fine now. Let's go."
Ai Wei nodded skeptically. She then rose and followed Ruan Xiangchen towards the exit.
The moment the glass door was opened, Xia Liyou felt something odd.
She looked down and realized that her phone, which she had just checked the time on minutes ago, was missing from her side bag. It seemed she had forgotten it on the table.
Xia Liyou said to Ai Wei, who had already walked out, "You two go ahead, I left my phone behind. I'll go get it."
"Oh, okay, we'll wait for you outside," Ai Wei turned and replied.
Xia Liyou said with a warm smile, "No need, I live really close by. I can walk home myself."
If she insisted, Ai Wei didn't push further. She waved her hand and said, "See you tomorrow, then."
Ruan Xiangchen also politely said to Xia Liyou, "Miss Xia, take care on your way home."
Xia Liyou curved her lips into a polite smile and responded, "Goodbye."
After the glass door closed, Xia Liyou headed back to where they were seated earlier.
As she approached, she saw her phone on the table. The sight brought a smile to her face until a figure gradually came into view, stopping her in her tracks.
