I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 86: Is the Apartment Dinner About to Turn into a Battleground?

Well, now the misunderstanding has only deepened.

Especially when faced with Ms. Hu's affirmative and confident analysis, Lin Wanyu stared blankly with her mouth agape, looking completely bewildered.

This undoubtedly confirms that she and Gu Yifan eloped for love.

Even the system joined in the fun.

[Your elopement with Fairy Lin has become a legendary tale at the inn. Please maintain this lie, or turn it into reality. You will gain +10 reputation and +1 charm.]

[As your reputation increases, others will have a greater affinity for you when you interact with them, making it easier to trigger quests.]

"I never imagined you two eloped for love!" Zeng Xiaoxian, who was usually quite reserved, exclaimed in surprise. "This is so touching! I have to include this in my live stream!"

Meijia, lost in thought, was moved to tears and rushed over to take Lin Wanyu's arm.

"Wanyu, you are so brave, so amazing."

Lin Wanyu finally realized what was happening.

"Elopement?! Actually..."

Lin Wanyu secretly glanced at Gu Yifan, who looked speechless and exhausted, and stammered, but in the end, she didn't tell him the truth.

Her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, rubbing her hands.

"Actually, it's not so bad."

"But I hope Feifei and the others can keep this a secret for me, especially Teacher Zeng. If my dad finds out about this, he'll come and drag me back."

Lin Wanyu said, quietly backing away, trying to create some distance between herself and Gu Yifan. "I'd better hurry up and run away, otherwise... I'll get beaten up."

She never expected things to develop this way.

It's getting more and more confusing and hard to explain.

"Wanyu, don't worry, we will absolutely not mention this to anyone." Ms. Hu immediately patted her chest to assure them, her cold eyes sweeping around the room.

"Anyone here who dares to utter a single word, I'll kill them!"

Hu Yifei even glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian, "Zeng Xiaoxian? What do you think?"

"I?"

Zeng Xiaoxian, licking his ice cream, became unhappy and mumbled, "Who doesn't know that I, Brother Xian, have the tightest tongue? Don't worry, I'll blur out names."

The voice just fell.

‘Pah! ’

A little ice cream slipped from Zeng Xiaoxian's lips. He frantically tried to catch it, but it still dripped onto the ground.

"Hahaha, Teacher Zeng, please stop talking." Meijia burst into laughter.

Zeng Xiaoxian's face turned pale and then purple. "This, this doesn't prove anything."

"Anyway, Wanyu, Yifan, I support you!"

Lu Ziqiao also stepped forward and put his arm around Gu Yifan's shoulder, saying, "I've only ever seen this kind of scene on TV before, with you, Lao Gu."

As he spoke, Lü Ziqiao winked at Gu Yifan, "Brother, I'm keeping this a secret for you. If anything good happens in the future, don't forget your brother~"

Hu Yifei coughed and clapped her hands, making a suggestion.

"Now that we all know each other, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

"Dinner party?"

Upon hearing about the dinner party, Lü Ziqiao perked up, his eyes lighting up as he raised both hands in agreement.

"A dinner party is great! After dinner, we can go to a bar and have some fun. I've already scouted out the bars around here with the most girls."

Chen Meijia subtly stepped on Lu Ziqiao's foot.

Lu Ziqiao immediately realized what was happening and awkwardly added, "Ahem, we're just waiting to bring Zhanbo over."

Hu Yifei was initially quite critical of her younger brother's sudden appearance as a "teacher," but Lu Ziqiao, with his silver tongue, successfully evaded the issue and solidified his title as a teacher.

Ms. Hu was very pleased with 'Teacher Lü's' thoughtfulness and returned the favor by saying, "You are new tenants, right? You need to pay two months' deposit and three months' rent in advance. I'll ask Zeng Xiaoxian to help you apply for one month's deposit and one month's rent in advance."

Zeng Xiaoxian: "Wait a minute, what do you mean you're going to let me go back and help them apply? Why should you be the good guy?!"

Just when everything seemed to be going well...

“Oh, right.” Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly looked at Lu Ziqiao and winked, “Ziqiao, didn’t you say yesterday that you were going to treat us to dinner at Xiao Nan Guo? How about today?”

Lü Ziqiao:
Hu Yifei's eyes lit up. "Little South Country? Then I'd better dress up nicely!"

"Yay! Yay! Little South Country!" Meijia, always eager for excitement, cheered without a care in the world, completely disregarding Lu Ziqiao's already stiff smile.

"Wait a minute," Lu Ziqiao quickly objected, "I...I did mention this."

"However! I heard from Yifan that it's hard to get a reservation at Xiao Nan Guo downstairs, so we might not be able to get one right now. How about we go somewhere else? I remember there's a pretty good mala tang place downstairs!"

"What? Mala Tang (spicy hot pot)?"

Meijia was immediately disappointed.

Lu Ziqiao turned his head and glared at Chen Meijia: "That's enough! With so many people around, do you want me dead?"

Fortunately, Hu Yifei came to the rescue, saying, "Okay, I was just joking. This meal is on me, consider it a welcome to our new friend."

Hu Yifei has always been very generous to her friends.

Fortunately, Lu Ziqiao still had some self-respect and said with a forced smile, "I'm so sorry, let's split the bill, let's split the bill."

Hu Yifei didn't force her, after all, Xiao Nan Guo was indeed quite expensive.

Gu Yifan hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "I probably can't go."

"Why?"

Almost everyone who had gathered turned to look.

"Why?" Lin Wanyu asked immediately.

She observed Gu Yifan's expression with some worry. Was he angry? Lin Wanyu felt uneasy.
“That’s right, Xiao Gu, you’re the main character. We’d like to hear about your elopement experience,” Zeng Xiaoxian said with a grin.

Meijia nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right."

Gu Yifan wiped a bead of sweat from his brow. He knew he couldn't stay; he had no history of eloping.

"My sister invited me out for dinner, we made plans in advance, I'm sorry," Gu Yifan said apologetically.

"I see," Ms. Hu said with some regret. "It's such a pity."

Lin Wanyu's eyes darted around, her curiosity piqued again. They had just eaten yesterday, why were they here again today?

What is Gu Yifan's sister like?
"Why don't we invite them to eat together?" Meijia secretly glanced at Lin Wanyu's expression and figured she was definitely reluctant to part with Gu Yifan, so she suggested.

“That’s right.” Lin Wanyu’s eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to grab Gu Yifan’s arm and acted coquettishly, “You can invite your sister to eat with you, that would be perfect for both of us.”

Gu Yifan glared at Lin Wanyu.

He really wanted to crack open Lin Wanyu's little head to see what she was thinking. Wasn't she making a scene enough?

This lie was already difficult to cover up, and if Su Weiwei came over...
Thinking of Su Weiwei's seemingly discerning eyes and her somewhat strange attitude towards him, Gu Yifan immediately shook his head.

"This is not good."

"Then I won't go either, I'll go with you." The more Lin Wanyu told her not to do something, the more she wanted to do it.

“Yes, yes, why don’t you invite your sister along? It would be so awkward if you left after our first get-together,” Hu Yifei said with a smile.

Both Master Hu and Fairy Lin are curious about your so-called sister and hope you will invite Consort Su to the banquet.

To pique your interest in the upcoming tasks with Consort Su, you might consider inviting her to witness your life, thus putting your sister's mind at ease, or you can simply refuse.

In the end, it was the system's words, "Let her witness your life," that moved Gu Yifan.

Perhaps once Su Weiwei sees the harmonious atmosphere of Love Apartment, she won't want him to move in with her anymore. Gu Yifan nodded hesitantly.

"Okay, I'll ask her, but she might not come."

Lin Wanyu was very happy, thinking that Gu Yifan had taken a step back because of her coquettishness.

"It's okay~ You can ask first."

Lin Wanyu thought to herself, Gu Yifan seems to be gradually changing, which is a good sign, and she will continue to work hard.

Ms. Hu was also very satisfied, feeling that Xiao Fan was a promising child.

A good child is one who listens to the teacher.

Inside the law firm.

In the office, Su Weiwei was engrossed in organizing the documents in her hands. Her waist-length hair fell over her shoulders, and her quiet and intellectual face was serious, making it hard to look away.

Most of the male colleagues who passed by would steal a glance.

"Weiwei, it's almost time to get off work. You've worked hard these past few days. How about we have dinner together tonight?"

Suddenly, a male voice entered Su Weiwei's ears. Su Weiwei paused in her movements and looked up at the person who had spoken.

Across from the desk.

A handsome man in a sharp suit, with his hair neatly combed, was smiling at you.

Judging from the slightly expectant look in the other person's eyes, it was clear that this was more than just a simple working lunch.

In fact, about half of Su Weiwei's male colleagues at the law firm had feelings for this beautiful, gentle, and intellectual female colleague.

Well, the other half are those who have already initiated or are eagerly preparing to initiate a pursuit.

After all, Su Weiwei's behavior towards outsiders was almost impeccable.

She is hardworking and responsible, beautiful, has a good temperament, is gentle and generous, comes from a good family, and is a lawyer.

She is a well-known legal goddess in Shanghai's legal circles.

It's perfectly normal to have suitors.

The male group leader scrutinized Su Weiwei's pretty face, feeling smug about his advantageous position as her group leader.

He was the one who mentored Su Weiwei from the beginning of her internship.

The two weren't particularly close, but their relationship was better than that of his other colleagues, and the man felt he had a good chance of winning them over.

"Having dinner?" Su Weiwei's pretty face showed a hint of surprise. She put down the documents in her hand and smiled sweetly, "Why does the team leader want to treat me to dinner?"

"It's not that you have a lot of cases to handle and you're worried about overworking my team so you won't be able to explain things to them," the man joked, taking the opportunity to hand over a business card.

The address and location of the restaurant are written on it.

"I've already made a reservation. Do you have time?"

Su Weiwei took the business card, glanced at it with her beautiful eyes, and revealed a hint of surprise.

"I've heard of this restaurant. It's very good. I heard that they only accept reservations in advance. Team leader, you're going to spend too much."

"Hey, I just happen to know the owner of this shop." The team leader felt confident that he had it all figured out and breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed the envious glances from his male colleagues and felt even more secretly pleased.

Although Su Weiwei had a good relationship with her colleagues, it was just normal colleague friendship.

She is like a pure lotus flower, emerging from the water, beautiful to behold but keeping a certain distance from everyone.

But clearly, the more Su Weiwei kept her distance, the more others wanted to be the lucky one to take her relationship a step further.

"That's it."

Su Weiwei nodded, met the team leader's expectant gaze, then gave an apologetic smile, her delicate fingers holding the business card.

"I'm so sorry, I really wanted to go, but I have to have dinner with my younger brother who's just returned from abroad tonight."

The man opposite her, whose smile had been tinged with a hint of victory, froze. "Younger brother?"

“Okay.” Su Weiwei nodded and said frankly, “I’ve already made reservations at the restaurant, so I probably can’t agree to the team leader’s request.”

"Weiwei, you have a younger brother? I've never heard you mention him before." The team leader asked with an awkward smile, but still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Su Weiwei picked up her phone, fiddled with it a few times, and then held it up to face the other person with a bright and cheerful smile that made the other person gasp for breath.

"Yes, this is my younger brother."

On the phone screen was the photo of Gu Yifan's surprise that Su Weiwei had secretly taken—no, openly taken.

The team leader stared at the photo in silence.
This kid... wow, he's actually pretty handsome!

"So I'm sorry." Su Weiwei was satisfied with the team leader's silence. She put away her phone and put her hands together in an apologetic gesture.

"No, it's okay. Oh well, it's my fault for not telling Weiwei beforehand." The man smiled, but he was swallowing his anger.

"Then the restaurant reservation made by the team leader will be wasted."

Su Weiwei thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "I think Sister Xia should be fine. Why don't you ask her, team leader? She helped our team get several cases before, so we should thank her."

The man's expression froze. Su Weiwei was referring to another female colleague, who was also single. Although she wasn't ugly and was under thirty, compared to Su Weiwei, she was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

"this one"

"Team leader, are you shy and don't dare to ask yourself?" Su Weiwei smiled and stood up. "It's okay, I'll ask for you."

Before the man could stop her, Su Weiwei walked towards the office next door.

The male team leader stood there, his expression alternating between pale and purple, and the gazes of his male colleagues were filled with mockery.

They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.

A moment later, Su Weiwei quickly returned, walked to her desk, and nodded to her team leader, who still held a sliver of hope.

"It's done, Sister Xia is very happy."

The man's heart, which hadn't yet breathed its last, was completely dead.

Why did she agree?
Su Weiwei thought for a moment, "I'll treat the team leader to dinner next time to thank him for his help with my work during this time."

"This time, the team leader can go out to eat with Sister Xia."

That's what they've said.

The man didn't think Su Weiwei did it on purpose. How could she do it on purpose? It was simply because Weiwei was too kind and understanding.

"Okay, then Weiwei, you go ahead and get busy."

The male team leader, looking like a wilted eggplant, forced a smile and staggered back.

He was a completely different person from the confident and spirited man he had been when he arrived.

As Su Weiwei watched the other person leave, the apologetic smile on her lips changed, replaced by a hint of mischievous glee.

Her temperament also changed from a gentle and considerate beauty to a clever and cunning fox.

Putting aside the fact that she was going to have dinner with Gu Yifan that night and wouldn't change her mind because of him, Su Weiwei had absolutely no interest in other men.

Over the years, Su Weiwei has become accustomed to using various methods to reject those persistent suitors.

Just as Su Weiwei glanced at the time and prepared to continue working...

Her phone rang.

Su Weiwei picked up her phone. "Xiao Fan?" A hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, a genuine joy that surpassed her previous polite smile.

"Hey? Xiao Fan, what's up?"

"A get-together? Great! I'd love to meet your roommate."
