Wen Mian ultimately still refused Pei Zhiyao's invitation.
If the two of them were to appear together, it would inevitably be seen by colleagues.
Once that happened, it would be problematic if it reached Lai Weiwei's ears.
Thinking of this, Wen Mian felt apologetic and quickly added a line:
"I'll join you for a meal when I'm free later on."
Pei Zhiyao didn't reply.
He probably knew that Wen Mian was still busy with work and didn't have the time to bother with him.
He might as well choose to remain silent.
It was only after this exchange that Wen Mian breathed a sigh of relief.
As lunchtime approached, Wen Mian had no unfinished work on her hands, nor did any colleagues invite her out.
Instead, she went to the restaurant near the company by herself.
But coincidentally, Pei Zhiyao was also coming over.
"Mr. Pei, Lai Weiwei has invited you to lunch at the Western restaurant downstairs from the company. If you are free, would you like to go to the appointment later?"
