"How could I? I have photographic memory for beautiful women, not to mention that you're a fairy." The smile on Little Fatso's face disappeared in a flash as he replied in a serious tone.

"It's not bad, but without the arrival of you beauties, your faces have paled quite a bit." Little Fatty gave an exaggerated sigh, as if he was feeling extremely regretful.

"A friend." The corner of her mouth curled up slightly as she lightly said.

"Oh, sorry." Upon hearing her words, Little Fatty's face lit up once again. He winked mischievously and stuck his tongue out at her.

The latter couldn't help but chuckle at his expression, "Your poor mouth hasn't changed at all after all these years. It must be one of the signature dishes in two stores."

"That's a must. I'll treat you as long as you are willing to come twice more." The little fatty nodded boldly, shooting a flirtatious glance at her before walking away with a smile.

Jiang Zhirui just sat there quietly. A faint smile hung on his face, but he didn't say anything.

"This is the place I liked to go to when I was in school." After Little Fatty left, Lin Xiangyu looked at him apologetically.

They all said that the doctor was a bit obsessed with cleanliness. It was likely that he had never come to this kind of small restaurant to eat.

"Looks like this place is very popular among the students. It's a pretty good place." Jiang Zhirui didn't show any disdain towards the dishes. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked around. When he walked in the door, he saw a few young students ordering dishes.

Of course, saying this did not mean that he could accept it.

Jiang Yanyu had guessed right. Doctors were obsessed with cleanliness, and Jiang Zhirui was even more serious. He had been so clean since he was young that he was almost abnormal.

But this time was an exception.

This was the first time she had ever brought him to a place like this. It seemed that the boss was very familiar with her, and he liked this feeling. This meant that in her heart, she still wanted to share some of her good past with him.

Lin Nianyu and Jiang Zhirui chatted as they looked out of the window.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Rui saw her worried expression and also glanced outside the window. He asked in confusion.

She still remembered the photo that Lu Jingwen had thrown to her two days ago, but she still felt a lingering fear.

There weren't many seats near the window of this restaurant, so she could clearly see the situation outside from where she was.

It was also a small restaurant across the street, but the business was deserted. The owner was sitting in front of the door, bare-chested and waving a fan in boredom.

"Nothing, I haven't been here for a long time. I just want to see what I can remember." Lin Nianyu didn't tell the other party that Lu Jingjing was looking for someone to follow her, instead she said this in a casual manner.

Jiang Zhirui nodded in understanding. It was no wonder that everyone thought of her as the purest and most beautiful student. She must have had a hard time during these five years.

She knew her very well. Even though she already had a husband, she had been so kind. She must have struggled with what happened five years ago.

"Did Cheng Chen find any evidence to support Gu Jun?" Right now, there was no way he could call Gu Jun his brother-in-law anymore. When he thought of the look in his eyes that loathed his, his heart ached.

"Not yet." Jiang Zhirui shook his head helplessly.

"Then what should we do?" Lin Xiangyu looked at him nervously before asking hurriedly.

"Did he call you before?" Jiang Rui thought of the reason he asked her out and asked for her.

"Nope." Lin Xiangyu looked at him strangely and shook her head blankly.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. That phone call, that number that Lu Jingwen had deleted, that should have been called by Cheng Chen, right?

"Why?" Jiang Zhirui sensed something and looked at her face.

"Nothing."

She didn't know how she should explain this to Jiang Rui. She couldn't say that she had basically lost her freedom, but she was closely watched by Lu Jingjing at all times.

If that were the case, he would definitely be very worried. It was already impossible for her to be together with him, so there was no need for him to act like this again.

"Does Lu Jingjing know now?" Jiang Zhirui didn't let go of her worried expression and continued to ask.

Lin Xiangyu did not shake her head or nod. She simply picked up the teacup and took a sip.

She had tacitly agreed. Lu Jingjing must have made things difficult for her.

Jiang Zhirui looked at her lovingly. He couldn't help but hold her hand that was on the table.

"Why not go back to your husband?" Jiang Rui suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice.

It was the first time he had met her face to face with her husband.

He had been avoiding this issue before, but now he had to mention it. She was a weak woman with a child. She couldn't handle the overbearing and domineering Lu Jingjing.

"He's busy." Lin Xiangyu did not expect him to ask such a question and was at a loss as to what to do. She lowered her eyes and replied.

"You don't even want your wife and son anymore?" Jiang Zhirui had never thoroughly investigated her marriage, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that there were a lot of doubtful points.

Shocked by his question, he opened his eyes wide as he looked at the troubled expression on Lin Xiangyu's face. Could it be that she was hiding something from him?

"I just didn't want to worry him. I was planning to take the kid home for a few days while he was away on business." Lin Xiangyu bit her lips and tried to answer as calmly as she could.

She didn't know if Jiang Zhirui would believe her this time, but since she didn't want him to know, she definitely wouldn't tell him the truth.

Silence.

Jiang Zhirui stared at the woman in front of him, who he deeply loved but was powerless to help, and nodded his head. Her heart had already been given to someone else. Even if she was in danger, she didn't want to involve her husband.

A heart-wrenching pain.

Lin Nianyu didn't want to embarrass herself, so she tried to find a new topic to talk about to make herself feel awkward.

"Did anything happen for Cheng Chen to call me?" Once again, she felt that Lu Jingjing was being unreasonable. He had actually privately answered his phone call and even deleted the number.
