Compared with Lou Minglang’s gaffe, Jiang Rui and Lou Wenyuan seemed much calmer.

Jiang Rui glanced at him and then turned her head, admiring her newly-made nails to the light, as if she did not bother to pay attention.

Lou Wenyuan nodded at him, as if the elders met the ordinary juniors, “Minglang also come to eat?”

Lou Minglang did not speak, whether he did not hear it or something else, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Rui.

Lou Wenyuan did not take it seriously. From the outside, he has always been gentle and tolerant.

On the contrary, Jiang Rui finally gave Lou Minglang a straight eye. Her red lips uttered lightly, “Is there any courtesy for you? Your Third Uncle is talking to you.”

Saying this, people who don’t know will think that she is also Lou Minglang’s elder.

Lou Minglang’s expression was distorted for a moment.

Just now he saw the two of them sitting opposite each other from a distance, he thought he had read it wrong.

In his impression, Zhou Qiaoqiao had always been afraid of Lou Wenyuan and even hated him for his own reasons. Not to mention Lou Wenyuan, when did you ever see him dining alone with a woman?

These two people, one is his Third Uncle and rival, and the other is his childhood sweetheart’s ex-fiancee, but they have turned their backs on him. They have a good conversation in this romantic restaurant under the ambiguous lights. With his temperament, he is afraid that he will rush forward to question them immediately.

However, he and Lou Wenyuan are far from uncles and nephews. Even if his hands hanging beside him tremble with emotion, even if the blood rushes to his head all over his body, he can’t tear off the epidermis covering his face.

He quickly calmed down his gloomy expression, only the corners of his mouth were still a little stiff. He greeted the two again, “Third Uncle, Qiaoqiao, what a coincidence.”

Lou Wenyuan nodded, “Are you alone or with your friends? Do you want to sit together?”

Lou Minglang endured a lot, but he really sat down, “Then bother.”

“You know that but you still have to wait for interruptions.” Jiang Rui said unceremoniously.

Lou Wenyuan glanced at her, “Don’t be rude.”

It’s just that although the words were admonishing, the tone was softer as if asking her if she wanted to drink water. Anyone who came here could tell that the relationship between the two was not normal.

Jiang Rui stuck out her tongue at him playfully.

Lou Minglang’s temples were throbbing with veins and the corners of his raised mouth twitched unnaturally. He looked at Jiang Rui and spoke softly with a gentle tone as if he asked casually: “Why did Qiaoqiao eat with Third Uncle today? Could it be a coincidence?”

“There are so many coincidences, of course, we made an appointment. Not only today, but we have also been eating together before.” Jiang Rui looked at him out of the corner of her eye and her words were a little provocative.

Lou Minglang smiled stiffly, “Since when did you and Third Uncle get acquainted like this?”

“Not long ago.” Jiang Rui rubbed her chin and thought about it seriously, “Probably less than a month?”

Lou Minglang took a deep breath. After taking a deep breath, he asked again: “Are you busy recently? I don’t even have time to ask you out.”

“Not very busy, but I just don’t want to see you.” Jiang Rui did not save him the slightest bit of face.

“Qiaoqiao,” Lou Minglang frowned, “We–”

Jiang Rui interrupted him, “You and I have already dismissed our engagement. Don’t just keep talking about us, it will cause people to misunderstand.”

“I didn’t want to break the marriage contract with you, you know the reason.” Lou Minglang said eagerly.

“What is the reason? I forgot, or can you tell me again?” Jiang Rui took a sip of water indifferently.

“I–”

Lou Minglang was speechless because both he and Jiang Rui knew that the reason he said this was Lou Wenyuan. In his description, Lou Wenyuan was a big villain, a big devil, and at this moment, the villain devil was sitting beside him, looking at them with a smile. How could he say that?

Jiang Rui smiled: “Look, you have forgotten too, right? If you forget, you can forget it. Anyway, it’s a thing of the past, so why bother.”

“Qiaoqiao, don’t do this to me.” Lou Minglang looked at her painfully.

“You are really annoying.” Jiang Rui suddenly put down the water glass. She frowned and said impatiently: “Why don’t you make people eat properly?”

Lou Minglang was choked up.

This is the first time that Zhou Qiaoqiao spoke to him in such a cold and impatient tone.

In his memory, he had said this to her during several quarrels. How did she react at that time? It seemed to be crying and running away.

At that time, he still thought she was squeamish and ignorant. But when the same thing happened to him, he realized how hurtful his indifferent tone and impatient words were.

At that moment, he almost felt that his heart was blocked, even sadder than seeing her and Third Uncle sitting together for dinner.

Only at this moment did he realize what position Zhou Qiaoqiao was in his heart.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes. When he lifted it up again, he had a smile on his face, “It’s my fault, I shouldn’t say those unhappy things. Do you want to go to sea together this weekend and give me a chance to apologize?”

“Going to sea?” Jiang Rui seemed a little interested and turned to ask Lou Wenyuan: “Do you want to go?”

“No.” Lou Wenyuan said with a gentle expression, “There are arrangements for the weekend.”

Jiang Rui pouted disappointedly, “It’s really boring, I won’t go if you don’t.”

“Then how about we go to see Rhett? Do you remember the puppy we sent to the rescue station together?” Lou Minglang said again.

Hearing him talk about dogs, Jiang Rui remembered something and asked Lou Wenyuan: “Where is the cat you raised? Where did it go?”

Lou Wenyuan’s expression remained unchanged: “It’s old.”

“Oh… Also, it’s been ten or twenty years.”

Seeing that she ignored him, Lou Minglang’s expression was a little sad. He wanted to say something more, but it happened that dinner was on the table, so he had to stop temporarily.
