Yu Hong and Lin Yuyan were the only ones left in the booth at the hotpot restaurant.
The atmosphere seemed particularly silent.
Yu Hong lowered his head and mechanically put pieces of meat into his mouth, thinking about the past between Xia Qingluo and Lu Chengyuan in his mind.
Lin Yuyan also lowered her head, recalling every expression Xia Qingluo had just made.
After a long while, Lin Yuyan slowly raised her eyes and broke the silence: "Do you like Xia Qingluo?"
Yu Hong was so shocked by this question that he stopped chewing the meatball for a moment. A trace of panic flashed across his face, but it was immediately covered up by his acting skills. He said in a slightly cold tone, "It's none of your business."
Lin Yuyan wanted to put her hands on the table, but there were too many dishes on the table and she had no place to put her hands, so she could only lean back on the chair.
"Your love is so obvious, who wouldn't know?"
"You rushed forward to block the knife for her immediately. With the force I used at that time, your arm must have been purple."
Yu Hong subconsciously touched the corner of the table with his arm. The moment he touched it, he felt pain and immediately withdrew his hand.
Lin Yuyan's smile deepened. At this moment, she was like a devil, persuading him, "Tell me, does Xia Qingluo know that you like her?"
"She doesn't know." Yu Hong answered this question very decisively.
After all, she was a girl who picked up food for him and she thought he was trying to make her gain weight secretly, so how could she possibly know his feelings.
Before Xia Qingluo became famous, people on the Internet were saying that she was being kept by various financial sponsors, that she was a socialite in the entertainment industry, and that she was a vase being pampered.
But anyone who has come into contact with Xia Qingluo will know that Xia Qingluo is very naive in this regard.
Perhaps because she had been hurt by Lu Chengyuan, Xia Qingluo only knew what it was like to like someone, and had no idea what it was like for others to like her.
Yu Hong discussed this matter with Han Qingfang, his close sister.
Han Qingfang commented: Assuming the difficulty of pursuing a normal girl is one hundred, then the difficulty of pursuing Xia Qingluo is two hundred.
Xia Qingluo appears to be kind to everyone, but in fact he keeps people at a distance. Even Xia Qingluo himself doesn't realize that there is a block of ice in his heart that won't let anyone get close to him.
Xia Qingluo seemed to have hidden many secrets in his heart. These secrets were tragic and sad, and had a profound impact on Xia Qingluo. They were like birthmarks and were difficult to erase.
"Actually, our goals are similar." Lin Yuyan's light voice brought Yu Hong back to his senses.
"I like Lu Chengyuan, and you like Xia Qingluo. We can definitely cooperate."
"I know Xia Qingluo much better than you do. I can tell you many of Xia Qingluo's secrets."
"No." Yu Hong refused decisively.
What you need to pursue a girl is not means and routines, but a sincere heart.
Lin Yuyan was rejected again, and her patience was exhausted. "Lu Chengyuan is very serious about Xia Qingluo now. Do you think you can compare with Lu Chengyuan?"
"I've checked your background. It's not easy to debut as a child star, but your family is at most close to being a wealthy family. It's far behind the Lu family, one of the four great families."
"Lu Chengyuan likes Xia Qingluo very much. If Xia Qingluo likes Lu Chengyuan even a little bit, do you think you have what it takes to win him over?"
Yu Hong clenched his fists tightly.
He really couldn't give Xia Qingluo that much.
He couldn't afford to invest 100 million yuan at once to save the crew that was about to disband.
He could give Xia Qingluo everything he had, but everything he had was not even one-tenth of what Lu Chengyuan had.
Suddenly, the curtain of the booth was opened, and warm yellow light shone in.
Lu Chengyuan had just rushed in from the company, wearing a carefully tailored high-end suit. The coldness between his brows gave him a kingly aura.
Regardless of whether Xia Qingluo was reborn or not, he should stop interrupting Yu Hong and Xia Qingluo's dinner, so he found this place.
Lu Chengyuan lowered his eyes and saw that there was a handbag that did not belong to a lady next to Yu Hong. His dark eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and a flash of displeasure flashed through his heart.
Xia Qingluo actually sat next to Yu Hong and had dinner together?
You know, most people sit face to face when eating hot pot together. Sitting on the same side makes them seem particularly intimate.
The aura around Lu Chengyuan turned cold. He directly took Xia Qingluo's seat and sat next to Yu Hong.
Lin Yuyan's eyes lit up instantly, and she shouted excitedly, "Brother Chengyuan, why are you here?"
Considering that Lu Chengyuan said last time that he didn't remember who she was, she immediately introduced herself eagerly as if she had seized the opportunity.
"I'm the second daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yuyan. Your grandfather and I have a very good relationship. We have known each other since we were young. We even met at Grandpa Lu's birthday party last year..."
Yu Hong's brows twisted into a knot as he listened to Lin Yuyan's self-introduction which sounded like an interview.
Fortunately, he has upright values and a clear mind, so he did not agree to cooperate with Lin Yuyan.
After all this time, it turns out that Lu Chengyuan didn't even know Lin Yuyan.
Lu Chengyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yuyan, his eyes were not as cold as last time.
Lin Yuyan's presence meant that Yu Hong had no chance to have dinner alone with Xia Qingluo. With Lin Yuyan's harassment, the meal would definitely not be pleasant.
However, Lin Yuyan’s words were too dense.
Lu Chengyuan frowned slightly and interrupted impatiently: "Where is Xia Qingluo?"
Xia Qingluo was still in the bathroom holding her cell phone, struggling internally.
Before her rebirth, she was just a slightly crazy person hiding under a gentle appearance, but she was indeed a good kid.
She didn't have powerful subordinates like the heroines in the pseudonymous novels, she didn't know any thugs or gangsters, and she hadn't even learned any unique martial arts.
Maybe the parents have such connections.
But she couldn't possibly tell her parents that she had worked with the paparazzi to dig up dirt on two big names in the entertainment industry, and then the paparazzi got into trouble, so she needed their help, right?
To be honest, her relationship with Han Xun was at most a transactional one. He knew nothing about the other party, and it had nothing to do with her.
In fact, she and Han Xun had never even met each other.
Xia Qingluo circled in front of the bathroom sink several times and finally rushed out of the bathroom.
It's a life after all, I can't just stand by and watch it die.
Xia Qingluo originally wanted to go to the booth to pick up her bag and tell Yu Hong that she was leaving.
However, as soon as he walked out of the bathroom, Xia Qingluo saw a black Maybach parked at the door through the glass in the hall.
Xia Qingluo paused, suddenly feeling something was wrong, and looked at the license plate number.
Damn, why is Lu Chengyuan here again?
Xia Qingluo immediately ran back, rushed into the back of the kitchen, and escaped through the employee passage.
Inside the booth, the small enclosed space is very quiet.
The soup in the hot pot was still bubbling, the ingredients rolling in it, giving off an enticing aroma, but no one was in the mood to taste it at the moment.
Lin Yuyan didn't dare to speak, because Lu Chengyuan's aura was so strong that she didn't even dare to breathe.
Yu Hong also remained silent because he had nothing to say to Lu Chengyuan.
Lu Chengyuan didn't say anything either. He lowered his eyes and waited quietly for Xia Qingluo to come back.
"Buzz~"
There was a slight vibration from the cell phone in Lu Chengyuan's pocket.
He took out his cell phone and saw a message from Ji An, the head of the special investigation team.
[Ji An: I have collected all the video evidence. However, Han Xun suddenly disappeared after he walked out of the box, and it has been more than an hour.]
Lu Chengyuan's brows were furrowed, and his brain was working rapidly.
I immediately understood why Xia Qingluo had been in the bathroom and had not appeared.
The person may have run away.
Xia Qingluo and Han Xun might be partners, and Xia Qingluo might have also received the news when Han Xun got into trouble.
This fool Xia Qingluo must have gone to rescue someone!
Lu Chengyuan quickly stood up, picked up his phone and ran out, sending a message.
【Lu Chengyuan: Save Han Xun. 】
