Chapter 343: Shift the Engagement to an Earlier Date

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the western restaurant in the hotel, only two tables were occupied tonight— one by Long Sijue and Lan Qingcheng; one for Tang Zui and Si Mancheng…

Long Sijue was expressionless as always. He held his fork and knife as he cut into the steak on his plate. Lan Qingcheng gazed at the man before her in a daze. Long Sijue was definitely the only man in the world who could cut a steak in such an elegant and eye-pleasing manner!

But then when she looked at Tang Zui and Si Mancheng, who were eating at another table, Lan Qingcheng was slightly displeased. She thought she was going to have a candlelight dinner with Long Sijue, just the two of them. Never had she thought that he would bring two third wheels along!

Lan Qingcheng watched as Long Sijue cut his steak with ease and precision. She suddenly pouted and purred coquettishly, “Jue, my hands are sore today, I can’t cut my steak properly…”

Long Sijue raised his head to look at her. The look in his eyes was chillingly cold as usual. “You can’t cut it properly?”

Lan Qingcheng quickly nodded obediently and gazed at him expectantly. She blinked at him with a doting look in her big, beautiful eyes as she waited for his response…

“I’ll ask the waiter to cut it for you.” Long Sijue snapped his fingers and a waiter came over immediately. Long Sijue instructed him to cut Lan Qingcheng’s steak for her while he shifted his attention back to his food.

Tang Zui and Si Mancheng, who were sitting at the table beside them, held back their laughter and almost sustained internal injuries by doing so. The two of them saw Lan Qingcheng’s slightly contorted face and felt rather delighted.

If another man had done this, others would have assumed that he was doing this on purpose. But when Long Sijue did this with a cold, straight face, he appeared rather innocent and oblivious!

“Miss Lan, it’s done. Enjoy your steak,” the waiter said politely.

Lan Qingcheng forced a half-smile. “Thank you.”

Long Sijue ate very quickly, but he did not appear rude or uncultured at all. In fact, watching him do anything was a lavish feast for the eyes. Lan Qingcheng kept staring at him in a daze.

“Jue, are you still angry about that incident in Jin Garden?” Lan Qingcheng asked.

“Which incident?” Long Sijue asked without looking up.

When she heard his response, Lan Qingcheng let out a hollow laugh and stopped talking about it. Since he had already “forgotten” about the incident, it was best for her not to go on and embarrass herself.

“I used to owe you a favor until that incident. Now we’re even!” Long Sijue ate the last piece of steak on his plate. He lifted the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

The atmosphere in the room would be better if Lan Qingcheng did not mention that incident. When she heard Long Sijue’s response, she became even more angry. Because of Su Qianxun that little slut, Long Sijue had become an entirely different person, so much so that Lan Qingcheng could no longer recognize him!

“Jue, we have such a close relationship, so just forget about courtesy and formality. Oh, by the way, Uncle Long and my daddy met up yesterday. Uncle Long said that your oldest brother’s support rate is too low, so he wants to shift our engagement to an earlier date. We can hold a ceremony first. It will increase your brother’s popularity.”

Lan Qingcheng did not want to see Long Sijue draw a line between them at all.

Hearing that, Long Sijue narrowed his eyes with a dangerous look on his face. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking. He kept staring at Lan Qingcheng but did not respond to her suggestion.

…..

As Su Qianxun dined, her cell phone started ringing, she immediately got up and left the private dining room to answer the call. It was Aunt Zhang. After the phone conversation, she felt like using the toilet, so she headed to the washroom before joining her friends again.

When Su Qianxun came out from the toilet cubicle and went to wash her hands, she raised her head and saw Bei Weimi’s boyfriend standing behind her. He fixed his gaze on her the entire time.

She furrowed her eyebrows a little. She immediately turned around and said politely, “Mr. Xue, do you want to wash your hands too? I’ll be done in a second.”

Su Qianxun wanted to leave right away, but Xue Rui extended his arm and stopped her. He said in a flirtatious tone, “I have booked a room here for tonight…”
