Chapter 532 : Four Men, One Drama
“Why does this guy keep showing up out of nowhere?!”
Qian Xu silently turned his head to glance at Wei Suozhai beside him. He had only wanted to invite Chu Feng out for a simple date today, yet somehow, Wei Suozhai managed to bump into them by sheer coincidence. This was downright infuriating!
Wei Suozhai’s unexpected appearance completely derailed all of Qian Xu’s carefully laid plans. Now, he had no choice but to adapt on the fly. He was furious.
Chu Feng’s thoughts weren’t much different. He had just been looking forward to a nice date with Miss Qian Xu (?), but who would’ve thought Wei Suozhai would show up too? Was his fate scripted to always encounter Wei Suozhai whenever he went out?
Sure, they had some common interests, but having such a glaring third wheel during a romantic outing was unbearable! Was this some kind of joke?!
Meanwhile, Wei Suozhai was grinning foolishly as he walked alongside the two “ladies” ahead of him (?). All he’d done was step out to buy something, and he happened to run into two gorgeous women—this had to be destiny! With his luck, he figured he must have the potential to become a harem king!
Clearing his throat, Wei Suozhai said, “Ladies, it’s nearly lunchtime. Shall we find a place to settle our meal?”
Hearing this, Qian Xu rolled his eyes. Why did he have to have lunch with Wei Suozhai? All he wanted was to eat with adorable Chu Feng! Unfortunately, Wei Suozhai was completely oblivious, ignoring all the hints Qian Xu had thrown his way along the walk.
It was hard to tell whether Wei Suozhai genuinely didn’t understand or was just pretending not to.
Qian Xu sighed in exasperation. If he couldn’t shake him off, then he might as well make Wei Suozhai pay for the meal. Looking around, Qian Xu’s eyes landed on a Western-style restaurant nearby. Judging by its upscale decor, it probably wasn’t cheap.
“Let’s eat there~”
Following Qian Xu’s pointed finger, Wei Suozhai instinctively clutched his wallet. He had a bad feeling about this. If they went in, his wallet might not survive.
But sacrifices were necessary for the pursuit of romance! If he wanted to woo beautiful women, then money was expendable. Money could be earned back, but losing out on romance was a far greater loss.
“Well... well, let’s go in, then~” Wei Suozhai forced a smile.
Feeling a pang of sympathy for Wei Suozhai, Chu Feng whispered, “Isn’t it a bit too expensive to eat there?”
“Oh, Chu Feng, sweetie, if it’s too pricey, then big sis will treat you. It’s no big deal.”
As she said this, Qian Xu shot Wei Suozhai a meaningful glance. Her intentions were crystal clear.
“No... no problem. This place just opened recently. It’s a good chance to check it out~” Wei Suozhai said through gritted teeth.
However, Chu Feng’s earlier concern had already melted his heart. Despite the situation, Chu Feng was still worried about him. She really was an angel! Qian Xu was great too, of course, but at this moment, Wei Suozhai’s heart was tilting toward Chu Feng.
Of course, if he could open a harem, Wei Suozhai would happily take both without hesitation!
The trio entered the restaurant. Since it was lunchtime, there was a bit of a wait. Fortunately, their luck wasn’t too bad, and they managed to get a table shortly after arriving.
As they followed the server to their seats, their faces froze when they saw who was sitting at the next table.
Sensing something, Ling Ning set down her knife and fork and turned around with a bright smile. “Oh, hello! What a coincidence—you’re eating here too?”
“Yeah, Ling Ning, and Xia You. What a coincidence~” Wei Suozhai scratched his head. Was his luck truly that good? Running into Chu Feng and Qian Xu was already a win, but encountering Ling Ning and Xia You too? Surely, he was blessed by the heavens!
“Good afternoon, Sister Ling Ning, Sister Xia You.”
Chu Feng, though a little nervous, greeted them politely. After all, Ling Ning already knew his secret, so he wasn’t worried about her exposing him.
Qian Xu, on the other hand, was much more nervous. Although Ling Ning hadn’t seen him cross-dressed before, and probably wouldn’t recognize him, running into someone familiar still made him uneasy.
Noticing Qian Xu’s discomfort, Ling Ning gave him a mysterious smile and said, “You all enjoy your meal. Xia You and I won’t disturb you~”
It wasn’t until they sat down that Qian Xu finally let out a breath of relief. Based on the situation, Ling Ning hadn’t realized his true identity. But what was with that enigmatic smile? Why did he suddenly feel so uneasy?
As the trio began looking through the menu, another familiar figure entered Ling Ning’s view. It was Lin Hai, who had once pursued her but now seemed to be a devoted follower of Chu Feng.
When Lin Hai spotted Ling Ning, he waved and prepared to leave. However, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Chu Feng in the corner of his eye. He hesitated for a moment, then started searching for her.
Meanwhile, Ling Ning made a peculiar hand gesture. Intrigued, Lin Hai decided to approach. When he reached their table, he finally spotted Chu Feng sitting there with another stunning “beauty.”
However, there was an unfamiliar guy sitting across from them—an eyesore in Lin Hai’s view.
At that moment, Lin Hai remembered what Ling Ning had told him: Chu Feng already had someone she liked. Judging by the situation, the person Chu Feng liked was likely the plain-looking guy sitting across from her.
But that didn’t bother him. After all, what Lin Hai loved most was NTR!
Adjusting his expression, Lin Hai approached with a confident smile.
“Hello~ Isn’t this Chu Feng? What a surprise to see you here!”
Hearing Lin Hai’s voice, Wei Suozhai curiously turned his head to see a dashing, charismatic man exuding an aura of confidence. A vague sense of crisis welled up in him.
His instincts told him this guy was here to stir up trouble!
Meanwhile, Ling Ning slumped over her table, her shoulders shaking. She was laughing so hard that she nearly collapsed. If not for the fact that this was a public place, she might’ve rolled on the floor laughing.
“Ling Ning, what’s wrong?”
“Four men, one drama. Isn’t it fantastic?”
