Chapter 606: Chapter 606

Without a doubt, the man Lu Jingchen was referring to was none other than Ji Sifan.

If she still couldn’t detect the sarcasm in his tone, it would truly mean her intelligence was lacking.

Her encounter with Ji Sifan was completely accidental; she hadn’t even considered the possibility of this meal before running into him. So how did this man come to know about it?

Clenching her hand that was resting on the windowsill, she looked at the traffic and the crowd outside and said with certainty, "Lu Jingchen, did you have someone follow me?"

"Heh." The man on the other end of the phone let out a cold laugh, his tone becoming more openly mocking as if to scoff, "Mrs. Lu, I don’t have the leisure to send someone to follow you."

After speaking, he hung up the phone the very next second, as if he had no desire to talk to her any further.

Song Qiao, "..." Although she didn’t see his expression, through the tone of his voice and the speed of the hang-up, she was very clear this man was angry.

She looked blankly at the now darkened phone screen, her expression unchanging as she placed the phone back into her bag.

After all, she was open and honest, and hadn’t done anything to wrong him. Besides, she wasn’t alone during the meal with Ji Sifan; Qin Zhe, An Ke, and Lu An’an, who had just left not long ago, were there too, right?

Song Qiao felt that sometimes this man’s anger was truly inexplicable.

After washing her hands in the restroom, she emerged gracefully, quickening her pace as she thought of Ji Sifan, Qin Zhe, and An Ke waiting for her outside.

However, as she arrived at the restaurant’s main hall, a casual glance caught a man and a woman engaged in lively conversation by the window.

Some men, it seems, no matter how much they try to downplay their presence, still draw attention the moment they appear in a place, even if they choose a discreet spot.

There are women whose temperament or aura, perhaps, makes them shine no matter where they go, sitting anywhere brings a glow. Even though her face was shielded by the largest sunglasses, she was instantly recognizable.

It really was... a coincidence.

No wonder that man knew about her conversation with Ji Sifan and the others; they were here too; perhaps he saw the scene of their argument in the hall?

Song Qiao stopped in her tracks, squinting slightly as she looked at the man and woman sitting in a relatively hidden corner by the window, suddenly feeling as if this pair was truly meant to be together.

As if subconsciously, she found herself feeling like an outsider.

Zuo Yuqing’s face was alight with a starry smile, her pink lips moving as if sharing something delightful with the man opposite her. She played with a silver spoon, occasionally lowering her head to take a bite of dessert.

Lu Jingchen appeared tranquil and distant, not saying much, but perhaps due to Zuo Yuqing always smiling and sharing amusing stories, a faint smile occasionally graced his face. He looked gentle as he stirred his coffee and took sips from time to time.

The two clearly had finished their meal and were now enjoying dessert. Follow current novels on NovelHub(.)net

There weren’t many people in the restaurant at this moment. The staff bustled about, and as Song Qiao stood in her somewhat secluded corner watching the pair, she took a moment before grabbing her bag and decisively heading towards the exit.

Zuo Yuqing’s slender, fair fingers held the spoon, and as her gaze shifted, she spotted Song Qiao carrying a medium-sized handbag, dressed in a high-neck knit top, heading for the door. She couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile, retracting her gaze to look at Lu Jingchen and spoke with a laugh, "When is Yan’er coming back? Did Xi Mohan tell you? I’ve been busy shooting a new film recently and haven’t been in touch with Yan’er."

Lu Jingchen’s eyelids did not flicker as he replied indifferently, "Maybe in a few days."

"Oh." Facing Lu Jingchen’s nonchalant demeanor, Zuo Yuqing did not show a trace of embarrassment or sadness. After finishing her dessert, she fiddled with her painted nails before suggesting with a coy smile, "When Yan’er returns, should we all go out and have fun again? Like we used to. It feels like we haven’t had fun in a long time."
