Chen Chen smiled politely, looked at the curve of Lu Mian's mouth, lowered his head helplessly, picked up the water cup in front of him, and took a sip.

"Qin Feng and I are a thing of the past. My family introduced me to a very nice person and wanted me to meet him, so I came. I never thought it was you."

Lu Mian didn't think of this either.

So he shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"My family told me there was a young talent and introduced him to me. I didn't think much about it and came here. I didn't expect to meet you."

"At least we have both passed the parents' rigorous selection process, and our excellence is obvious to all."

I never thought that Chen Chen was such a self-satisfied person before. Lu Mian's nervous expression showed a hint of smile.

"But you are really nice, no wonder Qin Feng likes you."

Putting down the cup in his hand, Chen Chen looked outside the door.

"what?"

From Lu Mian's perspective, Chen Chen could not be considered his imaginary enemy.

But it was always a thorn in his heart, and the other party's frankness made Lu Mian feel a little ashamed.

"You are beautiful and have a great personality. I heard that you are willing to sacrifice your life for your friends. There are very few people as loyal and righteous as you nowadays. No wonder Qin Feng is fascinated by you."

Being praised by her sweetheart's first love, and being praised so generously, Lu Mian's face became even redder.

It's like the fruits about to ripen in summer, simple and beautiful.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man strode in and hurriedly grabbed Lu Mian's arm.

"I've been a little busy with work these days, why are you here for a blind date?"

Qin Feng's sudden appearance disrupted Lu Mian's rhythm. Lu Mian was confused for two seconds and then looked at the person in front of him.

Qin Feng was completely unaware of the strange atmosphere and continued to hold Lu Mian's hand.

"I've been so busy with work lately that I've neglected your feelings. I thought that according to our tacit understanding, I didn't need to do much. But I forgot that you are also a girl and need my care."

"Alright, alright, stop being annoying. I'm still a single golden boy."

Chen Chen, who was sitting in front of him, felt a little regretful that he had tipped off Fu Nanzhou.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have eaten so much dog food for no reason.

Lu Mian cleared his throat.

And Fu Nanzhou also froze.

When Fu Nanzhou turned his head slowly and saw Chen Chen's half-smile, he was embarrassed for a second.

"Didn't you say you met him by chance?"

"I said I met him, I didn't say I met him by chance."

Chen Chen shrugged his shoulders, as if he was a bystander, picked up the bag next to him and stood up.

"Alright, I'll leave the loving scene to you two suspects. I'm going to retreat first."

After saying this, Chen Chen left the scene in a hurry without waiting for the two to try to stop him.

This was the first time the two of them met in private without anyone else around since they returned from Suzhou.

Lu Mian looked a little embarrassed.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

Qin Feng's eyes seemed to be filled with fire as he stared closely at Lu Mian's expression, unwilling to miss any detail about her.

"You have misunderstood me and Chen Chen."

Lu Mian was speechless.

The two of you were once lovers, and now you share the same ideals and hobbies.

They are inseparable every day.

Don't say I misunderstood. Even if it's true, it's not an exaggeration, okay?

Too lazy to explain anything, Lu Mian did not intend to answer Qin Feng's question.

"It does not matter."

"This is very important! Chen Chen and I are just ordinary friends now. All our communication is about work. There is no other private communication at all."

"So what?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Lu Mian's expression.

"sorry."

what?

Lu Mian wondered if there was something wrong with his ears?

"I haven't been able to properly communicate with Chen Chen during this period and I have ignored your feelings, but I assure you that there is absolutely nothing between the two of us. I already have you in my heart and there can't be anyone else."

This was the first time that Fu Nanzhou clearly expressed his feelings for Lu Mian.

Lu Mian was completely stunned. After a few seconds, Lu Mian leaned back.

"My relationship matters are not important right now, I just want to see Xixi happy."

"I know you may not be in the mood to think about these things now, and it's because I didn't do it well that you doubt this relationship. I should start from myself and complete what you want to do most first."

Unexpectedly, Qin Feng was so aware. Lu Mian stopped arguing with him and just snorted proudly.

"Xixi..."

This is the sixth voice message sent by Mr. Chi.

He was still chanting my name and groaning in pain, the only difference was that his breath was getting weaker and weaker.

Who is this...

My hands tightly grasped my chest, as if only the physical pain could ease the panic in my heart.

Gu Hanting at the door listened to the sounds inside, but did not rush in. He just waited quietly.

And when I opened the door and went out, I happened to bump into Gu Hanting's arms.

The phone that was in front of me was quickly put behind me.

Gu Hanting looked at my little movements and didn't say much. He just took my hand and walked out.

"You've been worried these past few days. It's obvious that I want to pretend I don't see it, but it's hard."

It is inevitable that a thief will feel guilty.

Faced with Gu Hanting's frankness, I didn't know how to explain my concealment from him.

Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. I should share this matter with him, but I don’t want to be a burden to Gu Hanting forever.

"My dad asked us for a sky-high price for the bride price. I'm wondering what to do?"

"According to your father's character, what will happen if we don't give this money?"

I don't know Mr. Chi, but looking at his attitude towards Chi Xi, I know that if I can't do what a perfect transaction should do, he will definitely use some tricks.

If he doesn't live well, I can't live well either.

"Since your father's personality is so extreme, we should just give him whatever he wants. At least don't let anything go wrong before the wedding."

"Isn't that giving in to him?"

"What else can we do if we don't give in?"

Gu Hanting's question left me completely silent. It seemed that I had reached the point where I was at my wit's end. After all, I still had no idea where the person in Chi's father's hands was.

"But your father probably wants money. What do you think if I give him shares?"

Shares?

Gu's shares?

Wouldn't that be exactly what Chi's father wanted? He wanted one ounce of gold, and you gave him a mountain of gold.

My pupils slowly dilated as Gu Hanting spoke.
