Chapter 213: Dinner

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Xi didn’t know how to speak, but she must have chosen to call because she had sent Shi Xiao a message and hadn’t received a reply for a long time.

Shi Xiao hung up the phone and took a look at the messages. Only then did he realize that Lin Xi had sent him more than ten messages, asking if he had time to have a meal together tonight.

Ever since Shi Xiao brought Yuan Shu to the hospital to visit Lin Xi, Shi Xiao had not contacted her for a long time.

Lin Xi also knew that she had done something wrong, but she had never taken the initiative to send a message to disturb Shi Xiao. Hence, Shi Xiao couldn’t reject her invitation today.

Shi Xiao looked at his schedule. There was indeed nothing else to do tonight. As for today’s work, he had almost finished it. The remaining results might only be released after ten o’clock, so he was free before ten o’clock.

Shi Xiao didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he looked up at Zhao Mian and suddenly asked, “Do you have any plans for tonight?”

“Huh?” Zhao Mian was dumbfounded. Young Master Shi had never asked about her after-work activities. He must have asked this today because she had to work overtime at the last minute.

Shi Xiao would never let Zhao Mian work overtime at the last minute. If there was anything, he would definitely tell Zhao Mian in advance, instead of telling her that she had to work overtime at night when it was almost time to get off work. Hence, today’s situation was probably a little special.

Zhao Mian sighed in resignation. Even if she told her boss that she had plans, he probably wouldn’t believe her. She probably wouldn’t be able to binge on dramas tonight.

Zhao Mian answered honestly, “No.”

Shi Xiao nodded slightly and said, “Then let’s find a suitable restaurant. Zhao Cheng will bring Lin Xi over tonight. The four of us will have a meal together tonight.”

Zhao Mian was shocked again.

Ever since the boss brought Lin Xi back from Africa, Zhao Cheng’s job was to take care of Lin Xi’s safety until Lin Xi could adapt to life here. Therefore, Zhao Mian hadn’t had a good meal with Zhao Cheng for a long time. Today, it was the boss’s treat, so she naturally had to find an upscale restaurant.

However, what Zhao Mian didn’t understand was why they were dining with Lin Xi.

As Zhao Mian had interacted with Yuan Shu before, she naturally acknowledged Yuan Shu as the eldest young madam. Hence, Zhao Mian had some hostility towards this so-called “savior”, Lin Xi.

After hearing Zhao Cheng recount what happened in the hospital that day, she felt that Lin Xi was simply a b*tch. Zhao Mian felt like she would be betraying Yuan Shu by eating with Lin Xi.

Zhao Mian quickly chased this thought out of her mind. She was a professional secretary, so she would never question or deny her boss’s orders. How could she mix personal feelings with her work?!

Zhao Mian immediately replied, “Alright, Boss. I’ll start making arrangements now. Do you want to book a private room?”

Shi Xiao thought about it. In his heart, the person qualified to attend public events with him was naturally Yuan Shu. It was better for Lin Xi to avoid unnecessary appearances in public.

“Book a private room.” After saying that, Shi Xiao quickly typed a row of words in the input box of his cell phone. I Alright, Zhao Cheng will pick you up later.]

Then, he said to Zhao Mian, “After booking a room, send the information to Zhao Cheng and ask him to bring Lin Xi over.”

“Understood.”

Needless to say, Zhao Mian was very efficient. After a while, she arranged the restaurant and room, then sent the information to Zhao Cheng.

After the sun completely set, the sky darkened, and the street lamps lit up. The bustling city was flashing with lights.

The four of them arrived at the restaurant almost at the same time an hour later.

The attendant led the four of them towards the private room. However, Zhao Mian suddenly saw two familiar figures in the middle of the restaurant.

Zhao Mian was puzzled.. Why were the two of them together?
