Chapter 174 [Shi Yi 024] and his girlfriend
The two chose a nearby restaurant. Shi Wan was tired after a long day and didn't have many requirements for the food; she just wanted something to fill her stomach.

She wouldn't mind even if it was just a bowl of instant noodles.

The shop was very ordinary, and the decor was also very basic. At first, Yi Xu was reluctant to go in, saying that he had found a nice shop on his phone, just two kilometers away. It would only take about ten minutes to drive there, after passing two traffic lights.

Shi Wan gave a nonchalant "Oh," and said, "Then you can go eat by yourself."

After saying that, he pushed open the car door and got out.

Yi Xu: "..."

He paused for a moment, then had no choice but to pull over and hurry after them.

Shi Wan was already looking at the menu and had ordered three dishes. She looked up at Yi Xu, who was surveying the restaurant, and frowned as she asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Just keep an eye on it."

Shi Wan then added a soup and seafood fried rice.

After the waiter left, she said, "If you don't like it, go to another restaurant. I didn't force you to eat here."

“This bump on my head is worth ten meals like this from you.” Yi Xu pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “Today is the first meal. You still have nine more to pay back slowly.”

"..."

Do you want face?

Shi Wan used her face to curse.

Yi Xu looked away, pretending not to see.

Just then, Yi Xu's phone rang. It was Wen Song calling. As soon as she answered, Wen Song asked, "I'm done filming. Where are you? Where did you go?"

"Eating."

"Huh? You're alone? Didn't you promise to treat me to dinner?" Wen Song said angrily, one hand on her hip, on the other end of the phone. "Stand me up? I condemn you!"

"Of course it's not just one person."

"with who?"

"Girlfriend? Who else could it be?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Wan glared at him and kicked him under the table.

If she hadn't lost her memory, it seems she didn't agree to his proposal.

Yi Xu smiled and took the kick without dodging or avoiding it.

Wen Song was surprised, "When did you get a girlfriend? Did you just see someone you liked at the event? Things are progressing so fast?"

"Tsk, Wen Song, you need to take responsibility for what you said. My girlfriend is listening in. If she misunderstands, I'll have to trouble you to come over and explain to her."

"Um... I didn't... there wasn't... that beautiful lady, don't misunderstand, actually Yi Xu isn't that kind of person, he's actually quite... quite... um... not bad."

She couldn't bring herself to say the words 'devoted' or 'deeply affectionate'.

That's utterly heartless.

Yi Xu's smile vanished instantly. "Shut up!"

"Haha... Ah, I didn't mean to." Wen Song laughed it off. "Lying will get you struck by lightning, and I... I want to live to be a hundred!"

Her last sentence was somewhat evasive and carried a hint of joking.

Yi Xu sighed, "Step down."

"Oh, then have a pleasant meal and a sweet date!"

As soon as Yi Xu hung up the phone, he received a WeChat message from Wen Song: "Is it that beautiful woman who didn't want to talk to you when you met her at the filming location tonight?"

Yi Xu glanced at it, then covered the phone and ignored it.

He looked up and met Shi Wan's cold, emotionless gaze, which revealed neither joy nor anger.

Her eyes are amazing.

When she smiles, it's as bright as the warm winter sun, or as gentle as the spring breeze, flowing into your heart. When she doesn't smile, it's like the harsh, icy winter, piercing and indifferent.

And at other times, it is like a resilient wild rose that never falls in the wind.

Charming and alluring.

What impressed him most when they first met at Jixi Path was probably those phoenix eyes that never smiled, cold yet alluring.

Yi Xu emphasized, "She and I are just friends, a very pure friendship."

Shi Wan smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, why are you panicking?"

"Why would I panic? I'm just afraid you'll get jealous and secretly cry when you get back... Ouch... Shi Wan, will you lose a piece of flesh if you don't take action? How many times did you hit me last night?"

"Which beating you took was for nothing?" That's just plain despicable.

There weren't many people at this restaurant at this time. He looked around and said, "At least we're out here, so please give me some face. When it's just the two of us, you can do whatever you want."

"..."

"Now I understand." Shi Wan sneered, "Spreading rumors is so easy, it only takes a few words to come out, it doesn't take any effort at all."

"It will still take some effort to explain," Yi Xu said earnestly.

Shi Wan rolled her eyes at him again, just as the dishes were being served one after another, and she was finally able to have a hot meal.

Around 5 p.m., she got hungry, and Yu Xuan suggested ordering takeout, but Ying Cheng was filming at the time and couldn't eat. With so many people on set, the three of them definitely didn't want others watching them eat.

So I had no choice but to endure it.

"When are you going back to Beijing?" Yi Xu asked casually, a slight smile playing on his lips as he watched her eat.

"The earliest is the day after tomorrow, the latest is the day after that." Shi Wan lifted her eyelids. "Why?"

"Ask him, and we'll go back together then."

"No need, you can go back if you want."

"I don't have anything else to do, so I'll just wait for you to come with me."

Shi Wan ignored him and continued eating her meal.

Anyway, saying more is a waste of breath; I can't persuade anyone.

After dinner, the two got back into the car and returned to the hotel. When they got into the elevator, one pressed the button for the 28th floor, and the other pressed the button for the 22nd floor.

It's a bit far!

Which room are you staying in?

"What?" Shi Wan looked at him suspiciously.

"Ask."

Don't ask, I won't tell you even if you do.

"Oh," Yi Xu replied casually. As the elevator reached the 22nd floor, he suddenly said, "I'm in 2803."

Shi Wan turned her head to look at him, her eyes strange and complicated, and left with a "crazy" before stepping out of the elevator.

Yi Xu didn't stop her. After returning to her room, she took a shower and then sent a message to Shi Wan: Are you asleep?

Shi Wan replied with a question mark more than ten minutes later.

Yi Xu: I forgot to ask, are you busy tomorrow?

Shi Wan: Busy.

Yi Xu: How busy are you? Do you have time to have dinner together tonight?

Shi Wan: No, I have dinner plans with the brand tomorrow night.

Yi Xu: Oh.

Shi Wan was exhausted, so she tossed her phone aside, put on an eye mask, and went to sleep.

Shi Wan was indeed very busy the next day, spinning like a top. In comparison, Yi Xu was practically bored out of his mind.

I spent the morning lying in the hotel bed, ate something casually for lunch, took a stroll around the neighborhood in the afternoon, and went to the filming location from yesterday around 3 p.m.

When he arrived, Wen Song was putting on makeup.

Seeing him, she looked surprised and asked, "You didn't go on your date, what are you doing here?"

"She's busy."

"Are you very free?"

"is a bit."

Wen Song rolled her eyes as he asked, "When are you going back to Beijing? Let's get together? Chu Feng and Lao Lu said they haven't seen you for almost two years."

"Since you've become a higher-ranking official, it's become increasingly difficult for us to see you."

Wen Song paused for a moment, "I'll finish filming this drama at the end of next month, and then I'll take a break for a while before returning to Beijing."

"Okay, let's make a date then."

Yi Xu nodded, without mentioning Jiang Huaichuan.

The previous chapter was reviewed again. Speechless.
