It took a while before Feng Jingcheng finally let go of Qiao Xi. "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Qiao Xi nodded.
Feng Jingcheng took her hand naturally, and Qiao Xi held his in return. Then she looked up at him and smiled.
As they walked forward, Qiao Xi pointed ahead. "Why is there a lake here?"
"Let's go over there!"
They sat down on a bench by the lake. A golden retriever came running towards them.
"Chacha," Feng Jingcheng called.
The golden retriever lay down beside him. Qiao Xi reached out and gently stroked its head.
"You've been raising it? I've never heard you mention it before."
"It's not too late to know now. You'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know me better in the future."
Qiao Xi gave him a coquettish look.
After sitting by the lake for a while, Qiao Xi's phone in her pocket vibrated twice. She took it out and saw it was a message from Wen Sining.
[Lu Luochen and I are leaving first. We won't bother you two.]
[Okay. Be careful on the way.] She replied.
Wen Sining sent an emoji.
"Who sent the message?" the man beside her asked.
"Wen Sining. They've gone back first," Qiao Xi answered truthfully.
Feng Jingcheng nodded. "Are you cold?" It was indeed a bit chilly sitting by the lake at this time.
Qiao Xi shook her head. "Let's go back too. It's your birthday today. It's not good to leave the others there."
"It doesn't matter. They'll be back soon," Feng Jingcheng didn't care about that.
"Come on. You haven't even cut your cake yet," Qiao Xi pulled his hand.
"Okay, okay. Let's go." He indulged her. Feng Jingcheng just wanted to spend more time alone with her.
When they got back, most people had left. Feng Jingcheng and Qiao Xi entered the villa.
"Make a wish quickly," Qiao Xi said as she inserted candles into the cake and lit them. This cake was prepared by her for him.
Feng Jingcheng closed his eyes obediently and silently wished in his heart: I want to be with Qiao Xi forever.
After making his wish, he opened his eyes.
"Happy birthday, Feng Jingcheng."
Hearing the voice in his ear, Feng Jingcheng looked at Qiao Xi. They were very close now. Qiao Xi felt a bit uncomfortable. She coughed lightly. "You haven't blown out the candles yet."
Feng Jingcheng turned and blew out the candles on the cake. Then he cut a piece, put a fork in it and handed it to Qiao Xi.
"How does it taste?" he asked.
"It's not bad. You try it," she tilted her chin towards the cake on the table.
As if he didn't see it, Feng Jingcheng directly picked up the fork in her hand, took a bit of the cake and took a bite.
Qiao Xi watched his action. "There's more there. Why do you have to grab mine?" She was quite dissatisfied.
"Yours tastes better."
Qiao Xi stuck out her tongue at him and didn't want to argue with him.
Meanwhile, Lu Luochen was driving on the road. "I didn't expect Feng Jingcheng to be so romantic. Now that he's with Xixi, I can rest assured," Wen Sining couldn't help sighing.
She looked at Lu Luochen again. "Did you know that Feng Jingcheng would confess his love to Xixi at the birthday party?" She thought Lu Luochen's reaction at that time wasn't surprised at all. It seemed to be within his expectation.
"Feng Jingcheng asked for my opinion before," Lu Luochen answered while driving.
"So that's it." As expected, this man was really tight - lipped. He didn't even tell her.
"Do you want to grab something to eat?" Lu Luochen saw that she didn't eat much at the party. Instead, she had been busy all the time.
"Sure. I remember there's a private - cuisine restaurant that's quite good. We can go and check it out," Wen Sining said.
Lu Luochen knew where she was talking about. They drove there and it took about half an hour to arrive.
They got out of the car. As soon as they entered, Wen Sining heard someone calling her name. She turned around and saw it was Lu Xuan and Yun Chuchu.
Wen Sining couldn't help rubbing her forehead. Why did she have to run into these two just for a meal?
Although she thought so in her heart, she still maintained a proper smile on her face. "You're here for dinner too."
Lu Xuan nodded. "I've booked a private room. If you don't mind, you can come and sit with us."
"Then we'll have to trouble Mr. Lu," Lu Luochen wanted to see what he was up to.
They sat down in the private room. Lu Xuan pushed the menu over. "I'll treat you today."
Lu Luochen wasn't polite. He ordered a few dishes, and Lu Xuan added some more.
While waiting for the food, Wen Sining looked at the two of them and couldn't help joking, "Editor Lu, you and Miss Yun have a really good relationship. I've met you several times, and you two are always together."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "We're just on good terms. Besides, she's just starting out in the entertainment industry. I can take care of her."
Wen Sining nodded and didn't dig deeper into their relationship.
"By the way, I asked Mr. Lu out because I want to cooperate with you on a drama," she turned to look at Lu Luochen. Wen Sining said this on purpose. She winked at him.
Lu Luochen cooperated with her. "I remember you mentioned it to me before, asking me to invest."
"Yes, that's the one. I wonder how you're thinking about it now? I'm not joking," Wen Sining added.
Lu Luochen understood her hint. "I know. You're really good at joking. How could such a thing be a joke?" He just wanted to take this opportunity to send someone to keep an eye on Lu Xuan's every move.
Anyway, he had disliked Lu Xuan for a long time. After all, the first impression Lu Xuan left on him was not good.
Yun Chuchu spoke at this time. "Mr. Lu, last time I got Ms. Wen's contact information but forgot to get yours. I felt really regretful after I got back. Fortunately, I met you again this time. I wonder if we can add each other on WeChat?"
Hearing this, Lu Luochen was about to refuse. He usually didn't let others add him on WeChat. If he needed to leave a contact, it would be a phone number. But he noticed the look in Wen Sining's eyes beside him, indicating him to agree.
Although Lu Luochen didn't know what her purpose was, he still agreed. He took out his phone, brought up his WeChat profile and showed it to Yun Chuchu.
"Then I'll take this opportunity to get Mr. Lu's contact information too. If Mr. Lu needs anything from me in the future, just let me know," Lu Xuan also took out his phone and scanned Lu Luochen's QR code.
"Sure," Lu Luochen said this just out of politeness.
After they added each other, Lu Luochen immediately approved their friend requests.
"I think Mr. Lu has the intention to enter the entertainment industry," someone said.
Lu Luochen nodded. He did want to enter the entertainment industry. It was also a way to expand the company's business. He just uttered an "um" and said nothing more.
