Chapter 1022: She Caught His Finger

Zhou Yuwei looked at the young man’s worn-out phone and sighed in her heart. After adding him on WeChat, she returned the phone to him.

“Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Zhou Yuwei brought her to the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the hotel.

She had already booked a table by the window.

The set meals here cost more than 5,000 yuan per person.

Xi glanced at the menu and ordered a glass of water.

Zhou Yuwei could tell what he was thinking at a glance. God, is there still such a simple and thrifty boy nowadays?

Although Zhou Yuwei couldn’t decide on her marriage, she never cared about money.

She called the waiter over and ordered two luxurious sets.

Xi pursed his lips and said coldly,” I can go back to the company cafeteria to eat.”

“Don’t feel burdened. You’ve suffered in the company. Just treat it as my compensation to you.”

After the set meal was served, Zhou Yuwei ate a few mouthfuls of steak and looked up at the young man sitting opposite her from time to time.

He ate slowly. His fingers were long and fair, and his bones were distinct. His nails were not as long as some boys. His nails were neatly cut, and they looked clean and good.

Noticing that Zhou Yuwei was sizing him up, the young man frowned slightly.” Why are you staring at me?”

Zhou Yuwei wasn’t shy about being caught. She said openly,” You’re pretty, yet you’re not letting me see you?”

Xi was speechless.

The young man’s expression was a little uncomfortable. His long eyelashes fell on his fair and clean face, making him indescribably handsome.

Who wouldn’t want such a cute little wolfhound?

Zhou Yuwei curled her red lips.” Don’t be scared by me. I told you that I won’t force you.”

Zhou Yuwei usually didn’t eat much at night. After eating a little, she put down her knife and fork.

Coincidentally, she received a call. After informing Xi, she took her phone and walked to the balcony to answer the call.

As she left, a faint fragrance wafted in the air.

Xi’s thick black eyelashes moved, but there was no expression on his aloof and cold face.

She lowered her head and started eating again.

“Yo, isn’t this the big celebrity who’s been locked up in the police station? Why did you come out and come to such a high-end restaurant? Have you thought it through and contacted Miss Shao?”

Xi’s hand that was holding the fork suddenly tightened, and the veins on the back of his fair hand popped out.

He raised his long and narrow eyes and looked coldly at the person standing by the table.

The person speaking to Xi was Zhang Yixuan, a trainee from the same company.

Zhang Yixuan was the most handsome and talented trainee other than Xi.

Usually, he had always treated Xi as a competitor, and he had always made things difficult for him.

Those who were familiar with Xi knew that Miss Shao had left a huge shadow in Xi’s heart. Every time someone mentioned her, he would be like an angry little beast, wanting to tear her apart.

Zhang Yixuan looked at the knife and fork that Xi was holding tightly. He smirked.” You’re not going to stab me in public, are you?”

Yixuan, what happened?”

A slightly plump woman in a business suit walked out of the bathroom.

When the woman saw Xi, her sharp eyes narrowed.

The woman was Vice President Lin, who had sent Xi to the police station two days ago.

“Xi, why are you here?”

This was a high-end restaurant. Xi, a small celebrity, had no way of entering or leaving this place.

Vice President Lin glanced at the opposite side of Xi. There was a pair of women’s sunglasses and a handbag. Obviously, he had come with another woman.

Vice President Lin’s expression changed. She had been pestering him for so long and wanted him to be with her properly, but he just wouldn’t listen.

So he had hooked up with another woman!

“Tsk tsk, Xi, when Miss Shao took a fancy to you back then, you refused to give in. I tried to be nice to you, but you even hit me. Why? Have you found a better backer than us?”

The expression on Vice President Lin’s face suddenly became sharp and mean. She leaned closer to Xi, her eyes full of warning and malice.” A 20-year contract with a sky-high price. You won’t be able to escape from me for most of your life. Let’s see who can outlast who?”

Vice President Lin’s lips curled up into a cold smile.” If you’re smart and sensible, just listen to me. When I’m tired of you, I might let you live…”

Before she could finish, the young man who had been silent all this while suddenly picked up the red wine that was placed at the side and splashed it forcefully on the woman’s ferocious and mean face.

Vice-President Lin’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe that Xi would be so bold.

“Xi, are you crazy?” Now, Zhang Yixuan, who relied on Vice President Lin as his backer, wanted to go up and beat Xi up.

Suddenly, a delicate and clear voice was heard.” Who dares to lay a finger on him?”

Zhang Yixuan and Vice President Lin turned around at the same time and saw a tall and slim figure in red walking over aggressively in high heels not far away.

Vice President Lin and Zhang Yixuan were stunned when they saw the woman’s appearance.
