Xuxu seduces him

Chapter 46 Undercurrent
When Liang Jingwan heard this, she frowned, stopped her hand, and looked towards Li Zhaoning, questioning him with her eyes.

But Li Zhaoning didn't look at her. He just stared at Gu Zhengchen without blinking, waiting for his answer.

"I'm fine with either, but I have an appointment with someone else. I wonder if Miss Xu is okay with that?"

Gu Zhengchen's big hand wrapped Liang Jingwan's hand in his palm, stopping her little movements. His index finger lightly stroked the back of Liang Jingwan's hand, causing Liang Jingwan's face to blush and her eyes turned back to Gu Zhengchen beside her.

Xu Yan frowned, observing Gu Zhengchen's reaction, her mind working rapidly, who did he ask? Why did he only ask her?

It was just that Gu Zhengchen stared at her with a calm look, and Xu Yan couldn't tell for a moment, so she could only nod and agree randomly, "Okay."

The three of them settled the matter with one sentence each. Liang Jingwan looked around in confusion, then realized that she hadn't said anything. Why... didn't they ask her?
The seat position remained unchanged. Gu Zhengchen sat next to Liang Jingwan, with his left hand on the back of the chair behind Liang Jingwan. His temperament was calm and reserved, and his undisguised possessiveness was clearly visible to outsiders.

"Aren't you going to eat the glutinous rice balls anymore?" Gu Zhengchen's low, magnetic voice sounded, his eyes gentle and full of undisguised doting.

This dessert was the one that Gu Zhengchen specially packed for her when they had dinner alone last time.

Liang Jingwan nodded like a chick pecking at rice and replied, "Eat." Finally, add a dessert.

The two of them seemed to ignore the people around them, isolating themselves from other people's interference and chatting among themselves.

Xu Yan glanced at Li Zhaoning. His face was ashen, and one could see through his thoughts at a glance. He couldn't help but be amazed. After all, a younger brother is a younger brother and can't beat an old man.

Xu Yan scanned the surroundings. The person Gu Zhengchen mentioned had not arrived yet. He was thinking about it but still couldn't come up with an answer. He glanced at the man who had just walked in. Xu Yan's face changed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt resistance in his heart. It couldn't be him.

The man came closer and closer.

Liang Jingwan closed the menu and glanced at Xu Yan. She wanted to ask her if she wanted to order anything else, but seeing that her face looked strange, she followed Xu Yan's line of sight and looked all the way over. When she saw the person's face clearly, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, and she glanced at Xu Yan with a gloating look.

Gu Zhengchen unexpectedly asked one more question: "I have an appointment with Mr. Lu, is Miss Xu okay with it?"

Gu Zhengchen placed his hands naturally on the dining table, his voice was gentle and his eyes were meaningful, as if he could see the hidden story between the two of them.

Lu Yuan had already walked in front of the few people, looking at Xu Yan with eager and hopeful eyes, waiting for Xu Yan's answer.

Xu Yan nodded stiffly and said stiffly, "Okay."

Undercurrents are surging beneath the peaceful surface.

The rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice were served, and Gu Zhengchen was the first to scoop a bowl for the two ladies. Xu Yan was not very interested, so he took two bites and put it aside. Liang Jingwan ate it warmly in small sips, and the bottom of the white porcelain bowl was already visible.

Li Zhaoning's eyes were always on Liang Jingwan, and he was always ready to "serve" Liang Jingwan.

He raised his hand, and Gu Zhengchen also raised his hand.

But compared to Gu Zhengchen and Li Zhaoning, Xu Yan was faster. She glanced at Liang Jingwan's empty bowl and, familiar with Liang Jingwan's expression, raised her hand to turn the turntable back and scooped the last bit of the remaining glutinous rice balls into Liang Jingwan's bowl.

Liang Jingwan raised the corner of her mouth, looked at Xu Yan with a smile, and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you."

Xu Yan said, "You're welcome." His eyes were slightly proud. Li Zhaoning's idea failed, while Gu Zhengchen tore a piece of tissue and wiped the corner of Liang Jingwan's mouth, his movements were intimate, and his expression was the same as usual.

Liang Jingwan just lowered her head and ate the rice dumplings in the bowl, seemingly unaware of all this.

However, Lu Yuanze looked at the overall situation, sat aside and observed carefully, and suddenly smiled.

Halfway through the meal, Li Zhaoning stood up and answered a phone call.

Liang Jingwan chewed celery in her mouth, making a crisp sound. She looked carefully at Li Zhaoning's back as he left, recalling everything that had just happened at the dinner table.

"Does he... like you?" Liang Jingwan leaned close to Xu Yan's ear, with confusion in her eyes, and asked in a low voice tentatively and uncertainly.

In her eyes, during the meal, Li Zhaoning frequently picked up dishes and added soup for Xu Yan, and she also took advantage of Xu Yan and ate a lot of shrimps peeled by Li Zhaoning.

Li Zhaoning wasn't the type of person who would peel shrimp for others out of politeness, so she naturally thought that Li Zhaoning had a crush on Xu Yan.

But what she didn't know was that Xu Yan was sandwiched between her and Li Zhaoning. If Li Zhaoning wanted to pick up some food for Liang Jingwan, it would have to go through Xu Yan. Whether out of politeness or because Xu Yan was Liang Jingwan's good friend and wanted to "please" her, Li Zhaoning would pick up an extra portion for Xu Yan.

Although Liang Jingwan's voice was small, it was loud enough for the people around to hear clearly. The three of them paused and looked at Liang Jingwan. The surprise in their eyes was self-evident. They were undoubtedly curious about why Liang Jingwan had such an idea.

The "he" Liang Jingwan mentioned was obviously not Gu Zhengchen and Lu Yuan who were present, so it could only be Li Zhaoning who had left.

Xu Yan: “…”

Xu Yan was stunned, then laughed out of anger, his expression changing unpredictably. Just when he was about to argue with Liang Jingwan about who Li Zhaoning liked, he heard Gu Zhengchen's voice.

"Miss Xu, I'm shy."

The voice was gentle, as if joking, and also reminding Liang Jingwan.

Xu Yan was speechless and looked at Gu Zhengchen who had spoken. He saw that he was holding a small pot in his right hand and pouring vinegar into the white porcelain dish. The smell of vinegar filled the air. After pouring, he put the small pot back on the table and pushed the white porcelain dish towards Xu Yan.

Very good, the billionaire CEO is jealous of me. "A man who eats someone's food should be grateful to them, and one who receives someone's money should be grateful to them." The persecuted and embarrassed Xu Yan had to raise the corners of his mouth with difficulty and gave Liang Jingwan a few dry laughs.

In Liang Jingwan's eyes, he really looked shy. She nodded meaningfully and added, "No wonder you said you wanted to have dinner with him today."

Xu Yan felt like vomiting blood in his heart, but he smiled and picked up a piece of food for Liang Jingwan with chopsticks, "Eat food, eat food."

Liang Jingwan was already half full after eating two bowls of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice, but she still slowly put the food picked by Xu Yan into her mouth. In fact, she said this because, firstly, she really felt that Li Zhaoning might have a good impression of Xu Yan, and secondly... she felt that Lu Yuan did not seem to be as indifferent and cold to Xu Yan as Xu Yan said. Instead, he was paying attention to Xu Yan all the time, so she wanted to use this to stimulate him.

So Liang Jingwan raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan remained calm, as if he had no reaction to her words at all, and raised his hand to turn the turntable.

Liang Jingwan frowned. Was she wrong? But when she looked back, Xu Yan was looking straight at the dish in front of him. Liang Jingwan had known her for many years, so she naturally knew that it was Xu Yan's favorite. Then she looked up at Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan fixed the turntable with one hand and stared at Xu Yan without disguising his eyes.
