The rotation of the lock shaft was not loud, but it crushed Lu Xining's nerves.
She suddenly realized, so what if that person was Jin Shaoheng? So what if he was in the private room behind the door?
They had already broken up and agreed to be strangers. It is Du Jinyu's credit that Jin Shaoheng can appear here well now.
If this door opens and she sees Jin Shaoheng and Du Jinyu together, how will she react?
What does she, Lu Xining, want to do after chasing after her like this? What can she do?
At this moment, the pain that Lu Xining had been deliberately ignoring and suppressing seemed to be slowly waking up and tugging at every nerve in her.
Although Lu Xining's breathing was shallow but chaotic, he did not push the door open in the end.
But when she let go of the doorknob, the door was opened from the inside.
"Xining?" It was Lin Zhiyan's face that was revealed.
He looked at her in surprise.
"Brother Lin, why are you here?" Lu Xining was equally surprised.
"Oh, I made an appointment with a friend for dinner." Lin Zhiyan replied, and then asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"I also have an appointment with a friend." Lu Xining replied, but his gaze uncontrollably crossed his shoulder and glanced inside the box.
The table was empty, the food had not been served, and apart from Lin Zhiyan, there was no other person in sight. It seemed as if the voice she just heard was all her imagination.
"This one?" Lin Zhiyan pointed to the name of the box and asked.
"No, I'm lost." Lu Xining looked back and replied.
"Then which private room do you want to go to? I'll take you there." Lin Zhiyan said diligently, but did not move.
Lin Zhiyan stood at the door. Lu Xining had no way to get in, and his line of sight was blocked.
She knew that it was easy to hide someone in a private room, such as behind an open door or in the bathroom.
But just as Lu Xining was thinking when he was about to leave, no matter whether Jin Shaoheng was inside or not, they had no intention of meeting each other.
"No need, just wait for your friend." After saying that, he turned and left.
This was not her first time visiting this private restaurant, and what she said just now was just an excuse, so she quickly found the private room she had reserved.
Meng Wanyang had already arrived at that time. When she saw Lu Xining opening the door, she quickly came over to help her.
"No, I'm not that squeamish." Lu Xining refused.
"I rarely see you once, so I should pamper you a little." Meng Wanyang placed her on a chair, and then said to the waiter: "Let's serve the food."
"Hey, you are so classy. If you didn't know better, I would have thought you were treating me." Lu Xining squeezed her.
"I'll just ask you. I still have the money." Meng Wanyang didn't care.
"Come on, you've come all the way to see me, there's no reason for you to pay." Lu Xining still didn't agree.
Meng Wanyang smiled and did not argue with her. There was no need for them to fight over this matter.
"How are you doing lately?" Meng Wanyang asked, looking at her belly.
Due to physical reasons, even if Lu Xining is pregnant with twins, this month will look similar to that of a normal mother who is pregnant with a single child.
Lu Xining subconsciously put his hand on his abdomen and said, "It's pretty good."
"I've also looked at all the inspection data, and it's indeed pretty good. But you're still working, so be careful not to overwork yourself," Meng Wanyang warned.
Lu Xining nodded: "You have the knowledge to keep an eye on me 24 hours a day, don't worry."
"Miss Lin really surprised me." Meng Wanyang said.
When we first met, I always felt that Lin Zhiyi was a spoiled young lady, but for such a long time, she had indeed been taking care of Lu Xining and was very attentive.
"How did I hear that Miss Lin kept a celebrity, named Xiao Ci? She was also secretly photographed kissing." Meng Wanyang asked, this was somewhat of a gossip.
It is normal for rich people to support men and women, but Meng Wanyang believes that people are divided into groups, and always feels that Lin Zhiyi and Lu Xining can become friends and close partners. It is not like that kind of person.
"It's not a foster relationship, it's her former boyfriend." Lu Xining explained.
"Ah?" Meng Wanyang was surprised.
Seeing her waiting for the next step, Lu Xining sighed helplessly and said, "Their situation is a bit complicated.
It seems that Xiao Ci's family was also in business, but was bankrupted by Brother Lin, and his parents also passed away.
Xiao Ci approached Zhiyi purposely at first, but later Brother Lin exposed him and the two broke up.
Although Zhiyi could not forgive him for his deception, after all, it was the Lin family that was sorry for Xiao Ci. Seeing that he had entered the entertainment industry, she privately found resources for him in order to make up for the wrongs that the family had committed against the Xiao family."
At this time, the waiter came to serve the food, and Lu Xining quickly shut up.
After all, this involves Lin Zhiyi's privacy, and Xiao Ci is also famous at the moment, so it is not good for him to hear about it.
After the waiter put all the dishes on the table, he placed two plates of snacks in front of her, including walnut kernels.
Lu Xining saw it, picked one and put it in his mouth.
After the door was closed, Meng Wanyang asked while picking up food for her: "So what's going on with them now? Since they were photographed, are they together again?"
Lu Xining did not answer.
Meng Wanyang raised her eyes and realized that she was absent-minded, as if she didn't listen to him at all.
"Xining?" Meng Wanyang waved her hand in front of her face.
"Huh?" Lu Xining came back to his senses.
"What's wrong with you? Are you worried?" Meng Wanyang looked at her.
"No." Lu Xining denied.
Meng Wanyang still looked at her uneasily.
"It's really okay." Lu Xining emphasized.
She knew that Meng Wanyang had visited S City more frequently recently, and although she didn't say it, she was actually worried about her.
Lu Xining didn't want to worry Meng Wanyang, but unexpectedly it backfired.
Meng Wanyang didn't ask any more about Lin Zhiyi. During the rest of the chat, Lu Xining tried to concentrate.
After the two of them had eaten, they returned to the guest room that Meng Wanyang had booked.
After washing, the two of them lay on the bed and chatted.
Normally, when Lu Xining went back for a while, Lin Zhiyi would call her, but today he knew she was with Meng Wanyang and was very quiet.
Perhaps he was tired from the journey, but as the time got later and later, Meng Wanyang's even breathing could be heard from his side.
She had already fallen asleep without realizing it, but Lu Xining had her eyes open in the darkness, but she was not sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with the figure she saw in the private restaurant.
She didn't want to lie to herself. Before leaving the restaurant, Lu Xining looked back more than once. She just wanted to take another look at Jin Shaoheng from a distance, even if it was just his back.
