Chapter 1466: Chapter 1467: Li Shengxiao is Also Nearby

As for Zhong Yuye offering to give them a ride, she just took it as Zhong Yuye remembering that night when she saved him and repaying the favor.

She hadn’t thought about it in terms of a man-woman relationship at all.

So she completely missed Estelle’s worried glance in her direction. While waiting for the car, she pulled out her phone and started playing around.

The dinner with Lemon Entertainment lasted far too long.

She hadn’t found a good moment to use her phone during the meal, but now that she had a chance to check, sure enough, there was a message waiting for her—

[I’m on my lunch break.]

There was also a picture attached.

In a luxurious office, a table full of food was laid out, and an elegant, striking man sat upright on the sofa, dining gracefully.

This photo was clearly taken by someone else.

Besides Gu Ming, she couldn’t think of anyone else who’d help him take a picture like this.

Another message quickly followed beneath the photo.

[What about you, are you done yet?]

[I heard you’re heading to Lemon today to finalize the cooperation deal. If there’s anything you’re unsure about, you can message me.]

Rong Yan scanned through the messages quickly and then glanced at the timestamp on the last one, awkwardly realizing that it had already been over two hours since he sent them.

She lowered her head and swiftly replied.

[I was having dinner with the people at Lemon earlier, so I couldn’t check my phone. I’m done now, how about you?]

She thought it would take Li Shengxiao quite a while to notice her reply, but just as her message went through and she was about to close the app, her phone buzzed again.

A new message popped up.

[Where are you? I’ll come pick you up.]

“…”

Rong Yan, feeling mildly frustrated, responded: [That’s not necessary. You’ve got your own things to handle—don’t worry about me. I’m a grown adult; I’m not going to get lost.]

[I’m outside too. If I happen to be nearby, I can drop by to pick you up. Send me your location.]

Though she felt slightly annoyed, Rong Yan still casually sent her location. Deep down, she didn’t believe Li Shengxiao would actually be close by. After all, Capital City was huge; the odds of running into someone by coincidence weren’t exactly high.

Her location info had barely been sent when a real-time location sharing request popped up. Rong Yan paused for a moment before clicking in.

A red dot, flashing and incredibly close, appeared on the map.

She twitched the corner of her mouth and blurted, “No way…”

God, how much luck does it take for Li Shengxiao to be right next door?

She remembered that the building next door to this venue was also a club, though not one for dining—it was more for activities like shooting and bowling.

Li Shengxiao was actually here?

Estelle heard her muttering “No way” and glanced over, curious, “What’s no way? Who are you messaging?”

Rong Yan handed her phone over for a look, frustrated, “Li Shengxiao says he’s nearby and could come pick us up. What now?”

Estelle’s temples, already aching from the alcohol, began throbbing wildly as if trying to break through her eardrums. She reacted just like Rong Yan, “How could it be this much of a coincidence?”

“I don’t know. Everyone just seems to end up at the same place,” Rong Yan said, still not seeing the situation as too troublesome—just coincidental.

Estelle gave her a glance, hesitating as if she wanted to say something but finally settling on, “Maybe you should tell Mr. Zhong?”

“That… doesn’t seem like the best idea, does it?” Rong Yan considered the feasibility.

Estelle returned the phone to her, already having made up her mind. “What’s so bad about it? Mr. Li already said he’d come pick you up, and if you leave in someone else’s car first, that feels a bit odd. Here’s the plan: I’ll take Mr. Zhong’s car and ask him to drop me off, then you can wait here for Mr. Li. Sound good?”

“…Alright,” Rong Yan thought for a moment and found it a decent idea.
