October looked at the side profile of Lexus was thought that he was even more handsome and dazzling in her eyes. She was really grateful to Lexus even though she has to admit that Lexus had a very terrible personality. And for him to compromise like this for her was making her feel so moved.
She reached out her hand and rested on top of Lexus" and softly squeezed it. Really grateful to this man who does everything to make her happy even if he has to grit his teeth or bleed in anger, he would still do so just to satisfy her.
"I"ll definitely make it up to you." She said as she turned to call on Ma Rong who was leisurely standing in front of October"s building with his hands shoved in his pockets.
October was so happy to have received this once-in-bluemoon favor from Lexus that she had immediately turned to call for Ma Rong that she was not able to see Lexus" cunning smile that immediately vanished like a puff of smoke.
"Rong"er, come join us. Lexus invited you." October said with even tone but her face had a slight smile on her face. Again, Ma Rong was immediately confronted by the reality that he will never be able to put such a soft smile on October"s face like Lexus did.
Ma Rong did not let his own bitterness to show on his face. He maintained his aloof smile and said, "Really? Thank you, bro."
The car door instantly sw.a.n.g open and entered the smiling Ma Rong. He found a comfortable spot for him to sit and leaned his back with a contented look. He gave the interior of Lexus" car a quick yet scrutinizing look and nodded his head. He has to say that Lexus and him have quite common tastes. He liked simple yet luxurious things. Also, the car was customized.
"I hope I am not disturbing your date."
"Yes, you really are disturbing my first date with my wife, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Lexus thought with a dangerous glint shown on his eyes. His jaw was squared and his grip of the stirring wheel tightened.
"No, you really are not. Don"t worry about it." Lexus flatly said with thorns hidden in his words. Through the rear-view mirror, he then looked at Ma Rong"s smiling face that he dearly wanted to rip and added, "I am an understanding husband and would dote on my wife unconditionally. Besides, you are her family which also makes you my family."
"Yes! Bare in mind, you wife s.n.a.t.c.her, that you are her family so don"t you dare cross the line and step out of your boundaries! Know your place!" Lexus thought as he squinted his eyes at Ma Rong.
The underlying meaning behind Lexus glare was fully received and understood by Ma Rong as he nodded his head slightly.
"Geez! Don"t be over-dramatic. I won"t steal your wife...since she is my best friend in the first place. I knew her longer than you did." Ma Rong"s usually carefree smile and bright eyes turned sharp all of a sudden as he looked at Lexus with a smug look on his face.
October can feel the heat between the two. She frowned and gave both Lexus and Ma Rong a look telling them to behave themselves. Right after that, the ride became silent and the atmosphere was deadly silent but at least it does not have a heavy atmoshere with it. If she ignored them a little longer, she might literally see flashes of lightnings clas.h.i.+ng and repelling each other.
Somehow, October felt a little bit of regret and thought if this was a good idea. Or did she just made the two important people of her life to kill each other?
October felt a throbbing on her head as she gave another look at Lexus" cold and distant look. She sighed in her heart and kept silent.
After 15 minutes of agonizing silence, they finally arrived at Blossoms, which was a popular restaurant in the city that mainly serves vegetables are the main dish. To be precise, this was a restaurant for vegetarians or people on a diet.
Having been away from the city for a couple of years, a lot have changed and almost everywhere Ma Rong would turn to look, he felt familiar yet also not. Blossoms, however, was a restaurant he knew of. And so, when they arrived, his face immediately sunk into the depths of the abyss.
Vegetables? Really now? He wants meat! Meat, meat, meat!
Ma Rong"s face paled and was on the verge of crumbling down to dust. He somehow regretted to tag along with this couple. If he knew that they were headed to here, he would have definitely, absolutely refused a hundred times. He cursed under his breath.
When Lexus pa.s.sed his keys to the attendant waiting in front of the restaurant, he saw Ma Rong"s "dead" face while looking at the restaurant. He then snorted in mockery.
With a smooth and quick movement, he intertwined his fingers with October"s and gently gazed at her with a sweet smile on his well-sculptured face.
Seeing the "lovey-dovey" atmosphere surrounding the couple in front of him, Ma Rong felt bitter and his lips twitched in annoyance. Lexus gave him a look with a victorious smile on his face, making Ma Rong to want to punch his face.
Even if Ma Rong was good-looking himself, he was swallowed up by the heaven-defying couple in front of him. He served as a colorless background for the two as he followed to walk behind him. Despite his unwillingness and resentment to enter the restaurant, he still dragged himself in order to not waste October"s kind offer. He was also able to ruin the couple"s date so why not see this through?
He was a troublemaker yet he can still get away from the mess he will create; however, he just got himself tripped over in the process this time.
Soon, they arrived at a round table situated near a terrace overlooking an enormous pond. There were pink lotus flowers in full bloom scattered beautifully on the water"s surface and if one would look closer, there were koi fishes swimming about in different colors and sizes.
The restaurant"s ambience was so peaceful and tranquil as it give off a very surreal feeling coupled with the accompaniment of the traditional chinese intrument, guzheng.
The three then sat on their respective seats, with Lexus sitting so close with October and Ma Rong was seated at the furthest corner. Lexus made sure of this sitting arrangement and looked at his "rival" with his victory smile.
When Ma Rong realized this, he almost vomited blood from anger.
He did not imagine that October"s man was so petty to this extent. With this, one could instantly tell that he was tagging along and literally disrupted the couple"s meal. Ma Rong let out a bitter sigh and helplessly chuckled to himself. He felt sorry for himself who was in this current situation. But then again, he was to blame for this because he did not hesitate to tag along.
"Sirs, madam, here are your menus. Please press this b.u.t.ton if you are ready to order. Well then, excuse me." The waiter politely said and slightly bowed his head before walking out.
"Choose anything you like, Rong"er. You don"t have to hold back." October nochalantly said this as she herself scanned through the menu. She then turned to Lexus who did not pick up his menu and curious looked at him and asked with raised eyebrow, "Why aren"t you choosing your dish?"
"Oohhh! Thank goodness! They have pork!" Ma Rong exclaimed and almost burst into tears as soon as he saw some dishes with meat as the main ingredient.
Lexus gave Ma Rong a blank look and ignored his annoying face. As if a switch was turned on, his face was immediately replaced with a soft and doting face as he gazed at the woman beside him.
"I"ll order the same dishes as you." Lexus sweetly said to October with a doting look on his face.
Seeing this, Ma Rong rolled his eyes and ignored Lexus" taunting smile. He turned his attention back on the list of dishes and choose some in which he thought was delicious.
Not long later, they pressed the b.u.t.ton and instantly, a waiter went to their table and took their orders.
