Du Yanqing glanced at the watch on Lu Juyan's right hand, and realised that it was exactly 12 o'clock. At this moment, she felt no hunger. The worm in her stomach still cried out on time. She subconsciously looked outside the window, pretending that nothing had happened. At the same time, she accepted the invitation from a foreign friend.

"Alright, then please send me a reply. It's the Promeise Restaurant."

Lin Zining, who had received permission, was very satisfied. Glancing at the restaurant recommended by his phone, he thought that the name was nice and told him directly.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zining personally made a reservation for the two of them on the internet. He sat in the car and drove towards that direction while pressing his navigation tool.

Du Yanqing held the phone in his hand, and turned his gaze to Lu Juyan who was driving the car. Despite knowing that he had heard everything, he couldn't help but ask: "Are we eating together?"

A look of anticipation appeared from the bottom of her heart, yet she pretended to be serious as she restrained her emotions. She didn't know since when she had gotten used to Lu Juyan's existence, and it had caused even the moment of her heartbeat to be selectively ignored.

"I'll send you there. I have some matters to attend to later."

Lu Juyan's expression was very calm, and felt a little guilty towards Du Yanqing's anticipation. He pursed his slightly dry lips and tactfully declined it.

Regarding the reason why Lu Juyan didn't accompany him this time, it was simply to remove the danger for Du Yanqing. The satisfaction in his heart had already quelled the anger in his heart, but that did not mean that he would forgive the actions of the so-called collaborator.

The slightly disappointed Du Yanqing smirked as he shifted his gaze away. Looking at the scene outside the window, he realized that the hunger pangs had dissipated quite a bit.

She inadvertently turned her gaze to the rearview mirror, seeing Lu Juyan's pretty face, her heart started beating once again. An inexplicable sense of happiness caused the dejected emotions in the bottom of her heart to dissipate by a lot.

Not long later, Lu Juyan drove the car to the entrance of the Promeise Restaurant. Du Yanqing unbuckled the seatbelt on his body, and revealed a slight smile towards Lu Juyan. When he was close to closing the door, he reminded Lu Juyan: "Remember to eat dinner."

Lu Juyan nodded, looking at Du Yanqing's back as she walked forward, her deep eyes revealed a gentle expression, and she only retracted her gaze after her back had disappeared.

Without thinking too much, he immediately took out his phone and called Jie Zhuo. After the call was connected, he ordered coldly, "Investigate the situation clearly with the company's chief executive who is working with Yan Qing today."

Lu Juyan, who had revealed the intent of breaking ranks, was planning to personally eliminate this matter for Du Yanqing, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.

Jie Zhuo agreed and immediately hung up the phone, following Lu Juyan's instructions. There was not the slightest bit of reluctance on his paralyzed face, which was completely out of place with Xi Ao's sneering attitude.

Within the Promise Restaurant, Du Yanqing was patrolling the area. Because there was a screen separating the two of them, he did not notice Lin Zining's existence. Just as she lowered her gaze and was about to send Lin Zining a message, she coincidentally stood up. The two of them seemed to have reached a mutual understanding as they raised their heads. Their gazes met for an instant.

The two of them had a smile on their lips at the same time, but Du Yanqing appeared to be slightly tired, because during this period of time, she had been in a rush, and also appeared emotionally, causing her to be unable to breathe.

"Why is your face so pale? "The bruises on the bottom of my eyes have already appeared. Is it because I'm too tired?"

In Lin Zining's mind, he recalled how Du Yanqing did not look like this three days ago, and he felt a bit of heartache. Walking forward, he pulled her to the previously reserved seat and personally poured a cup of clear water for her before bringing it to her.

The waiter just happened to walk up to them in the next second and order the dishes Lin Zining had prepared beforehand. They were basically the food that the two of them had agreed to eat together.

"I'm fine."

Taking the water from Lin Zining, he took a sip and waited for the waiter to leave before replying. Ye Zichen revealed a faint smile and touched her face subconsciously with his fingertip, hoping that she was in good shape at the moment.

The aroma of food assaulted their noses and filled their noses. The two of them very casually picked up the dishes, trying to resolve the feeling of hunger. "No one paid any attention to each other's rude behavior, and they were especially comfortable with each other.

"I see that you're almost as thin as a white bone essence spirit. It's better that you quickly find someone to rely on!"

When the two of them were picking up dishes, Lin Zining intentionally compared her wrist to Du Yanqing, and she could not help but let out a light sigh. Putting the chopsticks down at night, he used his fingers to wrap them around her wrist and curled his lips helplessly.

These sudden words made Lu Juyan's mind suddenly flash with Lu Juyan's existence, happiness emerged from the bottom of his heart, and unknowingly, the corner of his mouth raised into a smile. She lowered her gaze and stuffed a mouthful of food into her mouth, concealing her strange mood.

It was unknown whether it was because the impact Lu Juyan gave to Du Yanqing was too intense or because a hole had already appeared in her chest, causing Lu Juyan's figure to continuously surface in her mind. Like the poison of the poppy, it invaded her internal organs, and was difficult to uproot.

"Do you want me to send you back?"

After the two finished eating, Lin Zining pulled Du Yanqing's hand and walked out. Their actions were especially intimate, as if they were good sisters. She raised her head to look at the dark sky and could not help but suggest something.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he unintentionally noticed a familiar figure. Turning his head to the side, he coincidentally saw Lu Juyan's voice. Her heart was slightly startled, but she subconsciously rejected Lin Zining's words.

Sensing that Du Yanqing was easily absent-minded, Lin Zining followed her gaze and saw that direction. Coincidentally, he saw the man he met in the hospital, and a clear emotion flashed past his eyes. The corner of her lips curled up into a smile. She patted her shoulder, teased her in a low voice for a bit, and then appropriately left this place.

Du Yanqing looked at Lin Zining's leaving figure and pursed his lips. Walking in front of Lu Juyan, an expression of joy and nervousness emerged from his heart. He couldn't help but ask: "Have you been waiting for me this whole time?"

Lu Juyan who had been observing Du Yanqing's movements felt that her current posture was extremely cute, so he extended his hand and rubbed her head. He took her hand and led her to the car, giving her a soft grunt in reply.

"Then why did you wait for me?"

Such a straightforward answer made the heartbeat in Du Yanqing's heart speed up even more, his ears turning slightly red. Looking at Lu Juyan's robust back from up close and feeling the warmth that came from his wrist made her feel disbelief, but this was reality.
