Chapter 42：Caught Her Staring

As he was seated, Lu Xun began to realize the reason Song Xing Xing had invited him to have a meal together.

It turned out that there was a promotional lunch set menu that the girl wanted to try. Lu Xun glanced at the special menu again and then, his gaze moved to Song Xing Xing who was repeating her order to the waiter.

After a while, Song Xing Xing looked up and smiled. "President Lu, would you want to add some more?"

Lu Xun recalled the amount of food that the girl had ordered. He looked at the waiter and spoke, "Just get me a glass of water."

The waiter tapped his finger on the tab to key in the order before he walked away.

The atmosphere changed the moment the waiter was no longer around. Song Xing Xing recalled how she had dragged the man in front of her to have a meal with her and suddenly felt a little awkward.

Suddenly, she was wondering if there was something wrong with her brain.

She was tempted by the food and had briefly lost her mind!

The first time she had interacted with him, the man was very fierce. He had made her took a trip to the police station and later, she became a little scared of him. Recently, she thought that this man was not as bad as she thought he was.

He would appear whenever she was in trouble and had looked after her. Even if it was because of her cousin, Song Yi.

Perhaps, it was because of that that Song Xing Xing felt that she should not be afraid of him. Who would have guessed that the man would agree to accompany her for a meal?

Forget it. She had already invited him to have a meal with her and the man was seated across her.

Song Xing Xing quickly put her mind at ease and began to anticipate her meal.

"President Lu, are you sure that you don't want to order anything else?"

"You already ordered so much food. Do you think you can finish them all?" Lu Xun said. "It's fine. If it was not enough, you can order a little more."

Song Xing Xing stuck out the tip of her tongue and smiled.

Lu Xun was a little stunned when he saw the look on her face. It was the first time that someone had pulled that face in front of him. He thought that the girl was very happy, almost like a fool.

Other than his sister, Lu An Ran, most of the people with who he had interacted would often show their gracefulness in front of him. Especially once they knew who he was. This was the first time he had seen someone who could act this silly. He really could not understand her.

Suddenly, Lu Xun wondered if it was because of their age gap.

If he was not mistaken, Song Xing Xing had just graduated from university a few years ago.

His phone rang at the moment and he was able to get out of the awkward moment. Lu Xun swiped his finger across the screen and pressed the phone to his ear.

"President Lu, where are you?" It was Assistant Bei Yuan.

Lu Xun suddenly recalled that he had come over to this mall to buy something. He had told Bei Yuan that it would take him half an hour. It has been an hour and his assistant was worried when he did not show up.

"I'm still at the mall," Lu Xun said. "Bei Yuan, you go and find something to eat first. I will call you when I'm done."

Assistant Bei Yuan was still in the middle of processing his boss's words. Before he could ask some questions, that person had hung up the phone. The words that he wanted to say were suddenly lost in his mind.

Since his boss had told him that he should leave first, then, does it mean that President Lu had already known about some reporters' presence around the mall?

At this time, the waiter came over with their starters. The food was hot and the steam came off.

Seeing that his glasses became hazy, Lu Xun took off his glasses and squint as he wiped the glasses with a clean cloth. When he looked up again, Lu Xun caught the girl in front of him staring back at him with her eyes wide.

Suddenly, Lu Xun felt uneasy. "What's wrong?"

Song Xing Xing put down her chopstick and swallowed the food in her mouth. "No. I just thought that you look pretty good with your glasses off."

Lu Xun froze again. Suddenly, he had the feeling that this girl was going to tease him if he continued to be around her.

The waiter came over to deliver them more food. Suddenly, their table was filled with food until there was no space left.

Lu Xun watched as Song Xing Xing began to pick up the prawns and peeled the skins. The way she ate her food seemed as if she was enjoying the best food in the world.

Although he had said that he would not care the reason she worked for his studio, Lu Xun was suddenly curious.

"Why do you want to work at my studio?" Lu Xun asked. "With your identity, wouldn't it be easier for you to have your own studio?"

The corner of his lips tilted up. Lu Xun did not think that he was good at managing a company. However, his luck has always been good. No matter what he decided to do, everything would flourish.

Lu Xun picked up his food and looked out the glass window. His movement halted the moment he saw some familiar faces.

Sensing that something was not right, Lu Xun scanned his surroundings and caught one of the restaurant's patrons aiming his phone towards him.

The person knew that he was caught recording and quickly put away his phone.

Lu Xun turned to look at the girl who was eating her food with relish. Suddenly, he had a feeling that something bad will happen.
