Chapter 603: He Came Here to Back Her Up?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan didn’t take Rong Cheng’s words seriously. This ‘prince’ of the Rong family just wanted to help his sister.

But she didn’t expect Xiao Luye to be here.

She looked at the approaching man.

Xiao Luye grabbed a piece of cake from a passing waiter’s plate that was not ordered by this table and placed it in front of Ji Nuan as he walked up to her. “The food here is really good, but I’m afraid it’s not to your taste. Just have a few bites of cake.”

Seeing it was Xiao Luye, the waiter dared not say anything but went to fetch a new cake.

Looking at the cake, Ji Nuan said mildly, “Oh, what happened in Beijing lately? Why did so many bigwigs come here? Now even CEO Xiao has come.”

Still putting a hand in his trouser pocket, Xiao Luye stood by the table and smiled. “Even Mo Jingshen has come to Beijing. You can see how wonderful here it’s recently and how many profitable projects are available here, so it’s not strange there are many big shots. Do you mean your dear Mo Jingshen can come here, but I can’t?”

Ji Nuan laughed and pretended to be enthusiastic. “Of course not.” She pointed to a seat. “If you don’t mind, CEO Xiao, come and have some with us.”

Your dear Mo Jingshen?

Silently sitting on the side, Rong Cheng looked at Xiao Luye again. He hadn’t heard that the Xiao family and the Ji family were on good terms. As for the Xiao family and the Mo family, two tigers couldn’t live on the same mountain, so they had little to do with each other, but why did Xiao Luye sound so close to Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen?

“No, thanks.” Xiao Luye raised his eyebrows and glanced at the sofa chair where Ji Nuan sat. “Is your chair large enough? Can I share the chair with you?”

Before Ji Nuan said anything, Xiao Luye had naturally sat down on the sofa chair. He sat close to her and left no space between them as if they were very close.

Seeing this, Rong Cheng took a look at Xiao Luye again, wondering what he meant.

If this heir to the XiaofFamily wanted to hit on Ji Nuan, why did he mention Mo Jingshen just now?

Rong Cheng had been in the business circle for many years and had been staying in the capital, so he knew many heirs to the important families in China. He didn’t have much contact with Xiao Luye, but he knew Xiao Luye didn’t have a girlfriend now. It was said that Xiao Luye had been chasing Shi Niange, the daughter of Shida Group’s boss, for years but failed.

So what on earth did this Ji Nuan get? Not only Mo Jingshen but also Xiao Luye came to back her up?

After Xiao Luye sat down, Ji Nuan calmly glanced at him, and he glanced back at her as if it was very natural for them to sit like this.

Ji Nuan didn’t speak. She happened not to like the sumptuous western meal that Rong Cheng treated her. Now Xiao Luye handed her a piece of cake. Although it was also made by this restaurant, she took it from Xiao Luye and it had nothing to do with Rong Cheng, so she took the little fork and took several bites of the cake.

Seeing Ji Nuan not resist Xiao Luye’s approach, Rong Cheng wondered what kind of relationship was between her and Xiao Luye.

“CEO Ji,” Rong Cheng looked at her and smiled meaningfully. “I didn’t know MN Group and Lingxiao Group are partners.”

He had investigated about Ji Nuan. MN Group had something to do with the Ji family, the Mo family, and some companies in London, but not with Lingxiao Group.

“We’re not partners but had met once or twice in Hai City. And CEO Xiao is my acquaintance. CEO Rong, you think too much. We’re just friends. There is nothing to hide,” Ji Nuan said indifferently while sipping the cream from the fork.

“Really? But I don’t think CEO Xiao just takes you as his ‘acquaintance.’ Except that Miss Shi in Hai City, no woman can come within a meter of him. He is famous for being sexually restrained.” Rong Cheng said and glanced at Xiao Luye with a smile. “Did CEO Xiao change your taste?”

Sitting beside Ji Nuan, except handing her a piece of cake, Xiao Luye did nothing but casually watched Ji Nuan eating the cake.

Xiao Luye said nothing as if not hearing Rong Cheng. At this time, the waiter served the dishes. Although Xiao Luye was not as cold as Mo Jingshen, he was anything but an amiable man. He didn’t even look at Rong Cheng, but the latter was polite to him, not as arrogant and condescending as to Ji Nuan.

Xiao Luye picked up the Americano the waiter had placed in front of Ji Nuan and took a sip.

Ji Nuan looked at him. “That’s my coffee.”

“Women should just drink a cappuccino or a mocha with sugar and milk. Don’t you feel it is bitter?” Xiao Luye glanced at her with the coffee cup in his hand and snorted. “Coffee will yellow your teeth.”

Ji Nuan. “…I’ve been relying on Americano when I’ve been burning the midnight oil and getting really sleepy at work these years, so I’m used to it now.”

Xiao Luye looked at her snow-white teeth and smiled. Still holding her cup of coffee, he said carelessly, “Now that you have returned to China, you should change these habits. It is better to drink less coffee and more juice or plain water. You’ll get pregnant and have a baby sooner or later, so you should eat healthily and take good care of your body. Otherwise, if you drink too much coffee and give birth to an unhealthy baby for Mo Jingshen, Grandfather Mo will be mad at you.”

What the hell was he talking about?

Ji Nuan grew dark and stared at him, but Xiao Luye didn’t seem to care and drank half of her coffee.

She was about to speak when out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Rong Cheng’s darkened face. That was obviously because of what Xiao Luye said just now.

So…

Xiao Luye came here to back her up?

Were they that close? They only met for several times!

But when she saw that Rong Cheng, the ‘prince’ of the ‘Capital Circle’ looked very unhappy but dared not say anything to ‘stimulate’ her because Xiao Luye was present, she didn’t refute him but asked the waiter to bring her a cup of juice and drank it leisurely.
