Lu Weichun turned to s.h.i.+ Yi after his sister left them. "I"ll prepare some dinner for us, you should go and change your clothes."
s.h.i.+ Yi obediently followed but before he could walk out, he noticed that there were a couple of paper bags on the sofa. "What are those for?"
"One month supply of tea." Lu Weichun grinned at him. "My brother said that you should stop drinking coffee for a while since it"s not good for your health."
"I didn"t know that your brother is also a doctor." s.h.i.+ Yi crossed his arms. "It makes me worried that he cares this much for me. Last time I checked, we were not in good terms."
"Shut up. He actually cares about you since you"re my boyfriend." Lu Weichun went to pick up the paper bags. "It"s not only tea, I bought fruits for you."
"How caring of you," He chuckled softly.
"Anyway, he allowed me to stay here with you so that I can make sure that you"ll consume the tea every day."
s.h.i.+ Yi raised a brow. He was not a tea person, he was more a coffee person that was why he didn"t like the idea of doing it. "Is he secretly torturing me? What if he poisoned those tea herbs?."
Lu Weichun rolled her eyes, "Stop being a baby. My brother told me the health benefits of the tea and it is better than the coffee you know."
s.h.i.+ Yi sighed in defeat. The only good thing about it was that Lu Weichun was allowed to stay with him for a while. "Fine, whatever you say."
He left her there and went to his room.
Lu Weichun sighed in relief when she managed to convince him. Her brother told her that someone was trying to poison s.h.i.+ Yi although he made her promise not to tell anyone, including s.h.i.+ Yi or else it would be hard to find the person behind it.
Lu Mello reasoned out that he was only able to find out about it when he saw the weird color of the coffee that s.h.i.+ Yi was drinking.
He even covered up that he was working together with s.h.i.+ Enxi to find the culprit so that Lu Weichun won"t doubt her.
Lu Weichun understood the struggle for power in business that was why she thought that it must something to do with it.
Upon arriving at the restaurant that Lu Mello sent her, s.h.i.+ Enxi was brought to the private room that was reserved by him.
She thought that things were just going to be discussed fast but she never expected that entering the reserved room was something that came out of the movie.
The table was set beside the huge gla.s.s window. On the middle of the table was a thin vase with red roses in it. The city lights were so beautiful and made the room look so serene, giving it a romantic atmosphere.
s.h.i.+ Enxi wanted to raise a brow at the sight. Weren"t they going to meet and talk business?
Lu Mello"s face beamed upon seeing her. "You"re here."
s.h.i.+ Enxi smiled kindly at him, "I"m sorry I"m late, I went to drop my brother in his place first."
She walked toward her seat and Lu Mello was so gentlemanly enough to pull the chair for her.
He had the urge to lean down and kiss her by her cheek but he tried his best to control himself. "Don"t worry, I didn"t wait that long."
He went to his seat and sat on her opposite. "Let"s order, shall we?"
The waitress in the room poured wine in their gla.s.ses before she handed the menu to them.
s.h.i.+ Enxi quietly stared at the menu before she smiled politely at him, declining his offer, "I have already eaten my dinner."
"What? Already?" Lu Mello pouted. "And here I am, starving myself while waiting for you."
s.h.i.+ Enxi had the urge to tell him that he didn"t have to wait for her since she never told him to.
She didn"t want to spoil her kind image since just by thinking of it sounded rude.
"Come on, just order something and join me for dinner. I"m pretty sure that you still have some s.p.a.ce in there. Don"t worry, it"s my treat." He winked at her.
She inwardly rolled her eyes in annoyance. If she knew something like this would happen, she was never going to meet up with him in the first place. She could have just reason something out but... Lu Mello being a detective was an a.s.set for her. She wanted to use him for her own benefits that"s why she was willing to play along with him.
She let out a helpless smile, "Alright, I"ll just order something light."
"Great!"
After they decided on what to order, the waitress listed it on her small note before she left them alone in the room.
s.h.i.+ Enxi"s face turned serious, "I hope Mr. Lu will remember what you"ve told me earlier."
