Xia Wennan was reduced to a bundle of nerves in an instant, and his ears didn’t register a single word that came out of Li Xin’s mouth across him. His mind was taken over by one thought—why would Lu Wenxing come here? Had he come here to see Ming Luchuan? Xia Wennan couldn’t help but shoot him several looks, but he couldn’t detect anything out of the ordinary from Ming Luchuan’s demeanour. Meanwhile, Ming Luchuan had taken notice of Xia Wennan’s line of sight; he held Xia Wennan’s hand under the table and slightly tightened his grip. Ming Luchuan didn’t even recognise Lu Wenxing as his father. Even if Lu Wenxing had inquired where they were dining tonight, there was no reason for him to rush over and wait for Ming Luchuan here. Xia Wennan couldn’t figure it out. He didn’t tell Ming Luchuan about this until the meal ended, his mind clouded with hesitation. When they finished eating, Ming Luchuan stood up and offered a hand to Xia Wennan.
Xia Wennan glanced at him. He wanted to high-five him at first, but upon second thoughts, he conscientiously took hold of his hand, presenting the impression of an affectionate couple. Ming Luchuan then led him to the staircase and slowly descended to the first floor. Duan Ning trailed after them. While Xia Wennan was positive, from the bottom of his heart, that there was nothing going on between Ming Luchuan and Duan Ning at this point in time, he couldn’t help but furtively stick a little closer to Ming Luchuan. As a result, Ming Luchuan transferred Xia Wennan’s grip from his right hand to his lift, then wrapped his right hand around Xia Wennan’s waist.
Their posture was exceedingly intimate. Xia Wennan had no choice but to lean on Ming Luchuan’s body. He was somewhat uneasy, yet he couldn’t just push Ming Luchuan away either. Once they reached the entrance of the private restaurant, Xia Wennan saw that, as expected, Lu Wenxing’s car was parked nearby, but he couldn’t see the man in the car through the window.
