Shen Tianxing suddenly felt a little nervous.
She immediately picked up her phone and quietly sent a message to Xie Linchuan.
Shen Tianxing: [I’m just coaxing her, don’t take it seriously. How could I ever look for a boy toy! Mwah.JPg]
The moment Shen Tianxing picked up her phone, Xie Linchuan casually took out his own phone and started scrolling through his social media feed.
After reading Shen Tianxing’s message, he instantly turned off his phone and placed it face down on the dining table.
Shen Tianxing: Oh no, oh no! He’s angry!
Just then, the waitstaff began serving the food, and the four of them started eating quietly. The entire meal perfectly matched the atmosphere of the upscale West Tulanxia Restaurant.
Not a single word was spoken throughout!
As they finished their main course, the waitstaff cleared all the dishes and replaced them with desserts.
A woman, arm in arm with a man, elegantly entered the West Tulanxia Restaurant.
The moment these two walked in, all four people at Shen Tianxing’s table instantly locked their eyes on them!
Xie Linchuan: Enemies always cross paths!
Yan Chuang: Holy crap, what’s going on???
Shen Tianxing: Wow, heaven is helping me!!
Gu Letong: Is this also part of the surprise?? The second surprise??
Because Yan Chuang had chosen a relatively quiet spot, the couple hadn’t noticed them yet.
Gu Letong immediately stood up, ready to charge over, but Shen Tianxing, quick as lightning, grabbed her and pulled her back down!
“Gu Letong!” Shen Tianxing hissed softly.
“Shen Tianxing, let go of me! How dare he! He’s getting engaged tomorrow, and today he’s sneaking around behind your back!”
“Hey, I’m not even mad, why are you so worked up? Sit down quickly.” Shen Tianxing, in an exceptionally good mood, pulled Gu Letong back into her seat.
“Shen Tianxing, have you lost your mind? Do you have a thing for green hats? How can you tolerate this?” Gu Letong was on the verge of exploding.
“Hey! What’s the rush? You’ll get your chance to shine later!”
Shen Tianxing calmly patted Gu Letong’s hand gently.
Then she turned to look at Xie Linchuan, who showed no expression on his face.
“Xie Linchuan, you can get the surveillance footage from this West Tulanxia Restaurant, right?”
Xie Linchuan gave a slight nod.
“Perfect!”
She quickly whispered a plan into Gu Letong’s ear. The more Gu Letong listened, the more excited she became, until she finally burst into giggles!
“Holy crap, Shen Tianxing, you’re absolutely ruthless!!!”
Gu Letong stood up, phone in hand, and marched straight toward the couple!
She swiftly approached them and started snapping photos with her phone, click after click.
“Gu Letong, what are you doing!” Fu Jinyan panicked and immediately shook off Xia Airou’s arm.
“Fu Jinyan, I never would’ve guessed! You, the devoted lover, actually grazing on the grass right next to your own rabbit hole!”
“Gu Letong, who do you think you’re insulting!” Xia Airou demanded angrily.
“You, of course! I used to think you were just jealous of Shen Tianxing—jealous that she comes from a better family and is prettier than you. So you act like a sycophant on the surface, but behind her back, you’re undermining your own sister!”
“That’s not true! Jinyan and I…” Xia Airou tried to explain, but Fu Jinyan cut her off.
“Letong, don’t misunderstand. Airou and her father came to the company on business today, and I was going to treat them both to lunch. But her father had to leave suddenly, so it’s just the two of us!”
“Fu Jinyan, you’re really bad at making up lies!” Gu Letong rolled her eyes at him.”What’s wrong, Letong!” Shen Tianxing suddenly appeared from behind.
“Jinyan, what a coincidence! You’re here to eat too!” Shen Tianxing said calmly.
“Tianxing… let me explain, it’s not what you think!” Fu Jinyan immediately grabbed Shen Tianxing’s hand.
“That’s right, sister, I just twisted my ankle at the entrance, that’s why I was holding onto Jinyan’s arm to come in!” Xia Airou suddenly chimed in to explain.
‘Oh!’
“Twisted your ankle!” Shen Tianxing instantly broke free from Fu Jinyan’s grip.
She then pushed Fu Jinyan toward Xia Airou, grabbed Xia Airou’s hand, and forcibly made her link arms with Fu Jinyan.
“Since you’ve twisted your ankle, you should quickly have your dear Jinyan help you back to your seat!”
“Tianxing…”
Just as Fu Jinyan was about to shake off Xia Airou’s hand, Shen Tianxing forcefully pressed them together.
Shen Tianxing looked at Fu Jinyan with an innocent expression.
“Jinyan, my sister has twisted her ankle. As her future brother-in-law, it’s only natural for you to take good care of your sister-in-law. After the meal, remember to send Airou back to the Xia family!”
Fu Jinyan was completely bewildered. He hadn’t seen Shen Tianxing for a few days—how had she changed so much!
Before, whenever she saw him, she would cling to him and hug him. Why was she so calm today!
And in the past, Shen Tianxing couldn’t stand seeing him with Xia Airou. Why was she suddenly so generous now!
Just as Fu Jinyan stood there confused, Xie Linchuan and Yan Chuang walked over to Shen Tianxing.
“Finished talking? Can we go now?” Xie Linchuan asked coldly in a low voice.
“Finished! Let’s go!” Shen Tianxing replied softly.
Just as she was about to leave, Fu Jinyan grabbed her arm!
Everyone’s footsteps instantly halted.
“Tianxing, what’s going on? Why are you with Xie Linchuan?” Fu Jinyan asked in astonishment.
Shen Tianxing didn’t rush to push Fu Jinyan away but looked at him calmly.
“Which eye of yours saw me with Xie Linchuan? There are clearly four of us! Don’t go spreading rumors about me!”
“Besides, CEO Xie and I need to discuss the bidding for the land at Pingxilan. Why are you so nervous?”
“Oh, and even though we’re getting engaged tomorrow, in terms of wealthy family alliances, it’s practically the same as being married even without the certificate!”
“CEO Xie is just treating me to a meal in advance to celebrate my upcoming singlehood.”
Shen Tianxing gently patted Fu Jinyan’s hand, which was gripping her arm.
The Pingxilan project!!!
Fu Jinyan seemed to understand something instantly!
Not only did Fu Jinyan understand, but Yan Chuang beside Xie Linchuan also frowned and looked at him.
Xie Linchuan, however, remained indifferent and continued watching the drama unfold.
Soon, Fu Jinyan slowly released Shen Tianxing’s arm.
Shen Tianxing gave him a faint smile.
“Be good, I’m going to CEO Xie’s company now. Enjoy your meal, and I’ll see you at the family banquet tonight!”
“Alright, if anything happens, just call me!”
‘Mm!’ Shen Tianxing put on an obedient expression.
Then, she linked arms with Gu Letong and strode out of West Tulanxia Restaurant.
Once they were outside and at a safe distance, Shen Tianxing immediately covered her mouth.
‘Ugh~~’
“What’s wrong, Tianxing?” Gu Letong asked anxiously.
“Nothing, just felt a bit nauseous from saying things I didn’t mean to keep him calm.””You scared me to death! I thought you were pregnant at a time like this—that would just add fuel to the fire!”
Shen Tianxing: Someone come quickly and sew Gu Letong’s mouth shut!
“You’re the one who’s pregnant! Your whole family is pregnant!” Shen Tianxing was nearly driven mad by this hopeless teammate!
“Wait, weren’t you with Fu Jinyan last night?”
Shen Tianxing: Please say less, sis…
