Chapter 56 (1/2)

Qiao Qing called Shen Xin and Lei Lie. Shen Xin’s phone indicated that her phone was turned off, so she could not get in touch with her. When Lei Lie received the call and learned that Lan Qianyu was back, he could not help but be wild with joy and immediately set aside his work at hand and went to the restaurant to meet up with both of them.

The three of them went to the Caprice restaurant for lunch. Surprisingly, there were no cars in the carpark. Two security guards stood by the door to prevent any patrons from entering.

“Seems like the place has been reserved by someone. Let’s leave,” Lan Qianyu said lightly.

“That’s so disappointing.” Qiao Qing frowned. “We have no choice but to go to another restaurant.”

Lei Lie noticed Lan Qianyu’s disappointed gaze and asked softly, “Qianyu, is it that you really want to eat in this restaurant?”

“It doesn’t matter to me.” Lan Qianyu smiled faintly.

“Last time when we passed by, we already wanted to come here. But at that time, we couldn’t bear to spend money, so we didn’t go. This time, I wanted to spend my hard-earned money and treat you two to something good, but I didn’t expect someone to reserve the entire restaurant,” Qiao Qing sighed grudgingly.

“Previously when I was handling a case, I got to know the manager here. I’ll go and talk to them, maybe they’ll let us in,” Lei Lie said.

Lan Qianyu was about to say no, when Qiao Qing effused delightedly, “Go on and talk to them then, we’ll wait for you here.”

“Okay.” Lei Lie nodded and headed straight for the restaurant.

“Actually, it doesn’t matter if we go to another restaurant. It’s not a must to dine here. Why do we have to make things difficult for Lei Lie?” Lan Qianyu looked at Lei Lie’s back view.

“As long as it makes you happy, it’s not making things difficult.” Qiao Qing smiled at her.
