Chapter 2611: 738: Caring

This Japanese restaurant had every seat partitioned off by shoji screens, so it was very private. So even with someone as famous as Xia Ye, there was no need to worry about being recognized.

Lu Yinxing hadn’t expected Xia Ye to actually come.

After all, as a public figure, coming to a place like this for a meal still carried a high risk of exposure.

Then it would be chaos all over again, and it wouldn’t be the first time.

However, fortunately, the thing Lu Yinxing was worried about didn’t happen.

During the meal, Gu Tiantian kept secretly watching the expressions on the two of their faces.

She just wanted to pick up on some kind of clue from them.

But the two of them just ate without talking, practically treating each other like air.

She was the only one chattering away like a little sparrow.

Gu Tiantian just felt that something was off, but couldn’t quite say what.

Was it because she was there?

Maybe she should find an excuse to leave?

But it was also kind of a coincidence.

Halfway through the meal, Gu Tiantian’s phone rang.

It was actually that brat Shen Fu calling.

Gu Tiantian picked up the phone.

Then she grabbed her bag in a panic and said, "Big Brother, Second Sis, I have to run out for a bit. Shen Fu just got back from abroad and insists I go pick him up at the airport. I won’t keep you company for dinner."

Lu Yinxing and Xia Ye both knew about Shen Fu’s relationship with Gu Tiantian.

The two of them had grown up together since they were kids, practically like they’d worn the same pair of pants.

Xia Ye said mildly, "Be careful on the way."

Gu Tiantian clutched her bag and rushed out.

But in fact, Gu Tiantian just wandered around the hallway for a bit.

Sure enough, it really had been Shen Fu calling just now.

And he really had just come back from a trip abroad and asked her out for dinner.

But Gu Tiantian couldn’t be bothered with him.

Gu Tiantian circled around once and came back.

Then she booked the seat right next to the one they’d just had.

There was a screen in between, so Xia Ye and Lu Yinxing on the other side couldn’t see her.

But because the screen had little carved holes in it,

there was basically no soundproofing between the rooms.

Gu Tiantian pressed her ear against the screen, and could hear exactly what was being said next door.

To her disappointment, next door was completely silent.

They still seemed as quiet as before.

Gu Tiantian just felt deflated.

Was she really going to come away empty-handed today?

Just as Gu Tiantian was about to leave in disappointment,

Lu Yinxing’s voice suddenly came from next door: "I’ve always wanted to ask you a serious question. Are you really just fooling around with Zhu Jia Jia?"

Gu Tiantian was instantly excited when she heard that question.

Now this was exciting!

Second Sis was so direct!

She’d gone straight for the question that bothered her the most.

From what happened at Wen Quan, she had guessed that Second Sis and Big Brother had once had something between them.

But Gu Tiantian had never been able to figure out,

what was up with that Zhu Jia Jia?

That was the only girl Big Brother had brought home in so long, and he’d even declared she was his girlfriend.

Of course, there were a lot of possibilities there.

He hadn’t brought anyone home earlier, hadn’t brought anyone home later, but just had to bring one home right after Second Sis came back.

Could he have deliberately found a girl to pretend to be his girlfriend to provoke Second Sis?

But the rumors these days about him and that girl weren’t exactly great either.

Gu Tiantian couldn’t really make up her mind for the moment.

Over there, Xia Ye’s voice was still cold as ice: "I want to ask you, why are you always so hung up on Zhu Jia Jia?"

Xia Ye lifted his head, his gaze landing on Lu Yinxing’s face.

Lu Yinxing felt a little guilty, but her expression still looked calm and composed.
