Not only Zhang Qi, but Song Xi and the others were also stunned.
Ge Baitao's eyes almost popped out as she looked at Song Xi: "?? Boyfriend?"
Song Xi wore an expression of "I don't know, when did this happen, I'm also innocent."
Zhang Qi's teeth itched with anger. He sized the man up and down, noticing his clothes, which cost no more than a hundred yuan each on average, and felt much better.
He said sarcastically, "Song Xi, is this your taste?"
This man was more prone to comparison than women. Especially a pampered rich kid like Zhang Qi, seeing that Song Xi had found such an ordinary person, his anger instantly dissipated.
"Fine, then I wish you two a harmonious union for a hundred years, and an early death to be reborn soon!" With that, he left triumphantly.
Yi Xiaoling followed suit. Before leaving, she specifically glanced at the young man.
There was no way they could continue eating.
After leaving the restaurant, Song Xi noticed the young man had been following behind her. After exchanging a look with Ge Baitao, she walked over to him.
"Hello."
The young man had a refined appearance, wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, was clean and neat, and seemed to exude an academic aura. He appeared to be around her age.
Song Xi went straight to the point, "Thank you for helping just now. Do you know me?"
He nodded, remaining taciturn, which was a bit different from his earlier chivalrous demeanor.
"What's your name, and are you also from A University?"
"Lu Chen'an."
He adjusted his glasses. "Senior, majoring in directing."
"So you're a senior!" Song Xi exclaimed, extending her hand.
He seemed a little nervous. He wiped his palms, then lightly shook her hand before quickly retracting it.
Song Xi smiled. Her smile was somewhat dazzling, making Lu Chen'an hesitant to look for too long, and he quickly lowered his head.
Ge Baitao, as an observer, saw all of this. After Lu Chen'an left, she nudged Song Xi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Sister Xi, you're amazing. You always meet little admirers wherever you go!"
"Don't be silly. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner again. This time, you're not allowed to pay for yourself privately..."
The Zhang family's old mansion.
The Zhang family was quite lively today. Anna arrived uninvited, bringing a car full of gifts.
Gao Lin's heart blossomed as she looked at the expensive antiques and jewelry. She held Anna's hand and chatted with her for a long time.
When this woman chatted, there was no room for men.
Zhang Bowen, as usual, paid no attention to external affairs. It wasn't until Anna mentioned her impending marriage to Lou Yuming that he looked up from his newspaper.
Gao Lin was surprised, "Marriage? Why have I never heard Yuming mention it?"
Anna said with a shy expression, "Perhaps Yuming is busy with work, and it's my fault too. I've been taking care of Grandma at home and haven't had time to visit you!"
This matter had indeed impacted Anna quite a bit.
Zhang Qi had always called her "Auntie." She thought they were just in a relationship, but now it had progressed to almost marriage. Could it be that Anna... was pregnant!?
It wasn't something she could directly ask, but Gao Lin looked at Lou Yuming, who had just come down from the study, and said, "Yuming, why didn't you tell the family about your and Anna's wedding?"
Upon hearing this, Lou Yuming's brows furrowed. He sat on the farthest armchair, gazing at Anna with a cold expression, "Didn't Shao Cheng discuss it with you?"
Anna's palms tightened, knowing he was referring to the annulment of their engagement.
But she had come specifically today, before Shao Cheng could speak to Grandma, to meet the parents first and solidify the matter.
She hadn't expected him to give her no face at all and ask directly in front of everyone.
Gao Lin was confused, "Discuss what?"
