A Slight Smile is Very Charming

Part 34: The Truth

Wei Wei looks at him, unable to shift her gaze, and suddenly feels a bit of uneasiness.

She doesn't like this at all.  It's as if he has become an object for fighting back and showing off; and also in a circumstance that he isn't even aware of.

Er Xi observes her expression and says nervously, "Wei Wei, you're not backing out last minute now, are you?!"

What do you mean backing out last minute?  When did she ever say she wanted to fight?!

Wei Wei glares at her while feeling depressed inside.  They're supposed to be going out for dinner, but with this going on, a simple dinner gathering has become complicated.

Forget it.  She'll just pretend that those people are not there.  They just happen to be eating at the same restaurant.  With that in mind, Wei Wei reminds her roommates, "You guys better focus on eating and talk less."

She realizes that that isn't right since French cuisine is expensive, so she quickly adds, "Don't eat too much either!"

Xiao Nai hears Wei Wei talking harshly just as he is walking back.  Seeing her natural expression of ferociousness, it's the first time that he experiences a kind of feeling of speechlessness.

Er Xi takes the opportunity to complain, "Senior Xiao, would you just look at your (family's) Wei Wei?"

Her words are too pleasing to the ear, making Xiao Nai's body and mind feel happy.  He turns around to take a look at Er Xi, and officially remembers her.  Agreeing with her words, he educates Wei Wei, "You shouldn't treat our guests this way."

Xiao Ling and the others chuckle.

Si Si also finds the nerve to say to Xiao Nai, "But Senior, now that Wei Wei has said this, we don't even dare to order anymore."

Xiao Nai smiles, "Don't worry, my wallet is not yet in Wei Wei's possession."

Xiao Ling giggles, "We must take this chance to eat lots.  If we wait any longer, Senior's wallet will be in Wei Wei's possession, and we won't even get to eat preserved vegetables (inexpensive food) then!"

Wei Wei doesn't interrupt them on their lively talk.  She concentrates on looking at the person standing beside her.

His handsome and refined facial features carry a natural sense of arrogance and detachment.  But it seems as if the distance between him and her roommates has disappeared.  Wei Wei is not surprised one bit.  This is how he is; with a little patience, he is always able to make others feel delighted.

Wei Wei didn't notice it while they were in the car; he's actually wearing a very formal white shirt, as if he has just come out from a business conference.  It seems right.  He asked them out for dinner right after arriving from his flight.  He didn't even have time to get changed.

For some reason, Wei Wei suddenly feels stuffed inside.

She doesn't dare to guess what kind of feelings the Great Master had when driving everyone here, but he most likely thought that this was a normal dinner gathering.  He definitely didn't know that there was an ulterior motive.

The stuffiness is getting even worse.

They walk towards the restaurant as they speak, but Wei Wei stops her footsteps.  Without much thought, she tugs on Xiao Nai's sleeve.

"Don't go in."

Wei Wei feels relieved the moment she says it out loud.  Like a swift breeze, all the troubling and depressing thoughts from the past few days and from seeing LoveChanel just now are gone.
