Gu Xiaobei returned to the office and sat at her desk. Jin Cheng glanced at her, picked up a newspaper, and began to read.
At lunchtime, Jin Cheng, perhaps intentionally, chose a seat next to Gu Xiaobei. Gu, wordlessly, shifted her chair away slightly.
Liu Cuicui prepared a meal of rice and stir-fried bok choy. Jin Cheng, looking at the dishes, chuckled, "Can this even be considered edible?"
Cuicui blushed in embarrassment. Jin Cheng then turned his head towards Xiaobei and said, "I invite you to dine at a fancy restaurant tonight."
Gu Xiaobei initially was not interested in responding to Jin Cheng, but seeing his cocky expression made her want to give him a reality check. She laughed and said, "Sure. It would be rude to decline."
Li Hao, seeing how Gu Xiaobei was behaving, was greatly annoyed. He felt that Gu Xiaobei was degrading herself; showing too much enthusiasm just because she was invited to a meal.
