I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 436 What other plans do you have?
When Lu Ruping heard Shen Lang say that he wanted to pursue her, she felt like she was struck by an electric current and her whole body froze instantly.

She opened her eyes wide, full of disbelief, and her pink cheeks turned red in an instant, like a ripe apple.

The chopsticks in my hand trembled slightly unconsciously and almost slipped.

He immediately lowered his head in panic, his eyes dodging, not daring to look directly at Shen Lang. It felt like a million deer were running around in his heart, and he was completely at a loss.

This sudden confession left her completely unprepared and she had no idea how to respond.

When Wang Xueqin heard Shen Lang's words, she felt a little unhappy and jealous.

What I don’t like is Shen Lang’s big appetite.

At the same time, he was jealous that Ruping could be pursued so openly by Shen Lang, but it was a pity that he could not have a passionate love affair with Shen Lang like her.

Although he was thinking wildly in his mind, he pretended to be surprised on his face.

Her eyes rolled, and a warm smile immediately appeared on her face. She said hurriedly, "Oh, Mr. Shen, this is really great! Ruping is a kind, gentle, well-educated and sensible child. I have always worried that she would be entrusted with the wrong person. It is a blessing for her to have your favor."

As she spoke, she reached out and gently pushed Lu Ruping, with a hint of urging in her eyes, "Ruping, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you thank Mr. Shen?"

After being pushed by her mother, Lu Ruping leaned forward slightly and looked even more uneasy.

She bit her lower lip slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Mr. Shen, you...you are too kind to me, I...I..."

She stuttered and spoke incoherently, and her panic made it difficult for her to organize her words.

The smile on Shen Lang's face became more gentle: "Miss Lu, when I first met you, I was attracted by your innocence. I hope you can give me a chance so that I can get to know you more deeply."

Although Wang Xueqin had mixed thoughts in her mind, she didn't say anything to spoil the fun.

Seeing Lu Ruping still standing there in a daze, she said to Shen Lang with a smile on her face, "Mr. Shen, Ruping has never been in love before, so she doesn't understand these things. If you really like her, you have to be more tolerant of her in the future. I think you young people should spend more time together and get to know each other better."

Having said that, she secretly glanced at Lu Ruping again, wishing she could replace her.

Lu Ruping felt embarrassed and anxious when she heard what her mother said.

On the one hand, she had never thought of Shen Lang in this way, and this confession came too suddenly for her to accept for a while;
On the other hand, her mother's anxious attitude made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She secretly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Lang, and found that he was looking at her expectantly, which made her even more nervous. Her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes, and her fingers turned slightly white.

"Mom, I..." Lu Ruping tried to refuse, but the words came to her lips and she couldn't say them.

She was afraid that her refusal would make the situation awkward, and even more afraid of hurting Shen Lang's feelings.

After all, Shen Lang had just helped his mother out of trouble, and she was full of gratitude towards Shen Lang.

Shen Lang smiled slightly: "Ms. Lu, I know this is very sudden. You don't have to give me an answer right away. I just hope you can seriously consider it and give us each other a chance."

There was a hint of unwillingness in his tone, yet it also felt incredibly sincere.

Wang Xueqin nodded repeatedly at the side: "Yes, yes, Ruping, Mr. Shen is so outstanding, you must consider it carefully."

As she spoke, she gently touched Shen Lang's leg under the table.

He also used the large tablecloth to block other people's sight and walked up Shen Lang's calf with his toes.

At this time, other diners in the restaurant still looked over from time to time, curious about the situation at this table.

The surrounding discussion could be heard faintly again: "This Miss Lu is really lucky to be favored by Shen Lang."

"Yeah, Shen Lang is such a great man. The Lu family is going to be very rich now."

"I really envy Miss Lu. If I could win Mr. Shen's favor, I would definitely agree to marry him."

"Me too. As long as I can live in a mansion and drive a luxury car, even if I have to be a concubine after the tenth room, I will be willing to do it."

"..."

These discussions reached Lu Ruping's ears, making her even more embarrassed and she wished she could escape from this place immediately.

Lu Ruping took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Lang, with a hint of confusion and hesitation in her eyes: "Mr. Shen, I received your kindness, but this is too sudden. I really need time to think about it."

Her voice was still soft, but it had a firmness to it.

Shen Lang nodded slightly, the smile on his face did not disappear: "Okay, I'll wait for you, Miss Lu."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his eyes never leaving Lu Ruping.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xueqin sighed silently in her heart.

She greeted him, "Okay, okay, now that we've talked about it, let's have a good meal. Mr. Shen, please try this dish, it's the signature dish of this restaurant." As she spoke, she enthusiastically picked up some food for Shen Lang, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Lu Ruping looked at her mother's actions with mixed feelings.

I silently picked up the chopsticks and mechanically put the food into my mouth, but it tasted like chewing wax.

Her mind was not on the meal at all, but she was thinking about Shen Lang's confession and how she should respond.

Shen Lang's confession made it impossible for her to think about Wang Xueqin and Wei Guangxiong for a while.

After taking a few bites of food, she said, "Mr. Shen, I have already taken up quite a bit of your time. Please excuse me for leaving first."

"Why are you so busy?" Wang Xueqin frowned and said, "Mr. Shen is a guest that even your father warmly welcomed. Why are you leaving after just two bites of food?"

As she spoke, she called the waiter: "Please bring a bottle of good wine."

What Wang Xueqin was thinking in her heart was to finish what Shen Lang had asked her to do today. The sooner it was resolved, the sooner the stone in her heart would fall.

As the saying goes, early death means early rebirth.

If you delay too much, Shen Lang might be unhappy.

The waiter took the order and left.

But Lu Ruping felt very uncomfortable because she really didn't know how to respond to Shen Lang.

What’s more important is that Wang Xueqin had introduced He Shuhuan to her before, and now she seems to be eager to push herself into Shen Lang’s arms.

This made her really at a loss for words for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Xueqin said again: "Mr. Shen, please forgive me. Ruping is just like that. I will talk to her about it later."

"Miss Lu is shy by nature, I won't be offended. Let's eat first." Shen Lang ended the topic and continued, "Mrs. Lu, now let's talk about your story."

"My business?" Wang Xueqin was a little surprised and didn't know what Shen Lang meant.

Shen Lang said, "Yes, you said I was your new love. If this gets out and the reporters find out, they might even exaggerate the situation. What do you think we should do about this?"

Wang Xueqin felt helpless. He was her new love. Could she be wrong about this?
But since Shen Lang had already said this, she had no choice but to continue: "I'm sorry for offending Mr. Shen just now. I'll do whatever Mr. Shen says."

Seeing that Shen Lang seemed to be blaming his mother, Lu Ruping could no longer remain silent and said, "Mr. Shen, my mother was just quick-witted just now. Please be more magnanimous."

"Since Miss Lu has said so, it would be my fault if I, Shen Lang, continue to make a fuss about it." Shen Lang smiled and said, "Let's eat."

Hearing this, Lu Ruping felt relieved.

As soon as the waiter brought the wine, Wang Xueqin couldn't wait to open it, first filling up Shen Lang and herself, and then pouring a full glass for Lu Ruping.

And suggested: "Ruping, let's toast to Mr. Shen together."

Having said that, Lu Ruping had no choice but to pick up the cup and said, "Mr. Shen, I wish you a prosperous career. Please."

"Mr. Shen, I also wish your business will spread all over the world." Wang Xueqin said with a smile.

"Thank you Miss Lu and Mrs. Lu for your blessings. Please."

Have a few drinks.

Lu Ruping continued, "Mr. Shen, I'm really not good at drinking. I'm afraid I can't satisfy you. I..."

"Miss Lu, if you have something to do, please go ahead and do it." Shen Lang said, "I'll make an appointment with you another day."

Hearing this, Lu Ruping felt as if she had been pardoned.

Wait until she leaves.

Wang Xueqin whispered, "Why did you let her go? I was planning to get her drunk."

"Does she need you to get her drunk?" Shen Lang turned to look at Wang Xueqin, "Or do you think I, Shen Lang, am someone who takes advantage of others?"

Wang Xueqin was speechless.

Shen Lang asked: "Don't you have any other plans besides this one?"

Wang Xueqin rolled her eyes and said, "I have another plan. I guarantee you'll get what you want."

"Oh? Tell me about it..."
