C83 The Original Promise

Red wine, red candles, and a fiery red dress. The light in the dining room dimmed, and soothing music played beside his ears.

Lu Yuanchen looked at Bai Xinxin's tender white hands holding the wine cup, and suddenly realized that the people eating in the surroundings were all couples. This should be the lovers' space, so he didn't notice it when he entered.

"Chen, I just ordered your favorite dish. Come here, how about we have a drink first?"

Lu Yuanchen looked at the red wine that Bai Xinxin was raising, and the feminine smile on her face. He suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. Was this really the Bai Xinxin that he had known in the past? She was getting farther and farther away from the impression he had of her.

For some reason, Lu Yuanchen thought of Su Xiaoxiao. She should be in the hospital by now, and he wondered if the old man had made things difficult for her again.

Su Xiaoxiao often said that she knew how to cook and she even said that she would improve it and try her best to cook the best dishes. However, up until now, he had yet to eat the dishes personally cooked by Su Xiaoxiao. Seeing how confident she was, the taste shouldn't be bad, right?

When he was with Su Xiaoxiao, he would never be burdened. Even if she angered him and made him angry at her, he knew that she must have done it unintentionally.

Lu Yuanchen grabbed the red wine cup on the table and downed it in one gulp. He felt a heavy, uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

"Chen, I still need to thank you properly. If not for your letter of recommendation, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been able to obtain the female lead of this movie, so …" Bai Xinxin paused, gently sipping the red wine in her hand, licking her wet lips, with alluring eyes, "How do you want me to thank you?"

The look in Lu Yuanchen's eyes became deep and his voice became ice-cold. With a hint of indifference and alienation, he said, "Xinxin, I promised to take good care of you. This is what I should do."

Upon hearing the promise, Bai Xinxin's fingers trembled. Her expression was stiff, as if she was recalling some past events that she didn't want to recall.

A promise, it was a promise again! Did he treat her well because of that promise?

In the past few months, no matter how hard she tried to show off, Lu Yuanchen had always kept a distance from her. Now, she understood that this distance was called promise.

All of Lu Yuanchen's care and care for her was because of his promise to someone else!

"Chen, let bygones be bygones. We still have to think about the future." Bai Xinxin calmly returned to her seat, a gentle smile returning to her face. That person had already left for good. As long as she worked hard enough, the current Lu Yuanchen would sooner or later be hers.

Lu Yuanchen remained silent. The dinner continued in an awkward atmosphere.

After dinner, when Lu Yuanchen returned home, Su Xiaoxiao was waiting in the living room. She thought that he had just come back from the company and had not eaten yet, "Hey, Lu Yuanchen, you're back. I made you something nice to eat."

Lu Yuanchen was surprised. Su Xiaoxiao rarely called him by his name. In the past, she had always called him CEO Lu. It seemed that Su Xiaoxiao was in a good mood today.

Furthermore, he was still thinking about how he had not eaten Su Xiaoxiao's cooking before returning to the villa. He wondered how the food tasted like. He would be able to eat it in such a short amount of time.

"You're not bringing me the food the old man doesn't want, are you?" Lu Yuanchen purposely teased.

"No!" This was obviously something I just made, but look, it's still warm! " Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly tried to defend herself.
