Chapter 940: Chapter 941: I’m Not Going for a Stroll!
“Even the best taste can’t be savored if it’s not to your liking.”
Just as everyone burst into laughter, Li Yuan suddenly said this.
It was a normal statent, but saying it at this mont clearly had a deeper aning.
The laughter suddenly stopped, and Li Xiangyang’s face imdiately darkened. He reprimanded in a low voice, “Li Yuan, don’t go too far!”
But Li Yuan was completely indifferent to his father’s reprimand, his face remained slightly lowered.
If this continues, the atmosphere will only beco more awkward, and in the end, the al won’t be eaten.
Xia Xing, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but reach out and grasp the hand he had resting on his leg.
Feeling his mother’s hand reach over, Li Yuan turned slightly, seeing Xia Xing offering a gentle smile, “Yuanyuan, even if you’re in a bad mood, isn’t it a sha to disregard others’ goodwill?”
Li Yuan remained silent, truly unwilling to attend this dinner.
“I know you’ve been busy lately and have other worries. How about you chat with us for a while before leaving, okay?”
Xia Xing’s words were clearly intentional, aware that what was worrying him was the silhouette in room 1208 of Hotel A.
Actually, Xia Xing’s approach was firstly to calm Li Yuan and ease the awkwardness, and secondly to provide him an excuse to leave.
Even if he stayed for another ten minutes, he could naturally depart afterward.
Under his mother’s persuasion, Li Yuan didn’t say anything further, and lightly responded, “Okay.”
Xia Xing smiled and then addressed everyone, “Let’s continue eating and chatting.”
Looking at his persuaded son, Li Xiangyang sighed heavily.
In this world, only his mother could persuade him.
By mid-dinner, the topic of today’s ‘family dinner’ surfaced.
“Today, we mainly want to discuss the marriage of the two children with you. Previously, we ntioned during the birthday party that the engagent would be this month, but we hadn’t discussed it with you in advance, which seed too abrupt, so today—”
“Crash!”
Just as Li Xiangyang spoke, Li Yuan suddenly stood up from his chair, interrupting him.
His actions were clear in aning, and Li Xiangyang understood imdiately.
“What, are you leaving?”
“Yes, there are things to take care of.”
“Qiuting, why don’t you go for a walk with him?” Li Xiangyang suddenly turned to Ruan Qiuting.
Ruan Qiuting was initially taken aback but quickly responded with delight, “Okay.”
“Father, I’m going to handle matters, not to take a walk!”
“Then let Qiuting escort you!” This statent was clearly a jab at him.
Despite the surging anger in Li Yuan’s heart, he couldn’t display it here and had to leave with a cold face.
Seeing this, Ruan Qiuting quickly picked up her small handbag and followed him out.
She almost had to jog to keep up with his brisk pace all the way to the restaurant’s entrance.
“Li Yuan, wait for …”
Li Yuan suddenly halted, almost causing Ruan Qiuting to bump into him.
Soon after, his cold voice ca with a hint of impatience, “Don’t follow .”
Finishing his words, he didn’t wait for Ruan Qiuting’s response and continued striding forward.
Watching his tall figure, Ruan Qiuting wanted to say sothing, chasing after him again.
“Li Yuan!”
Li Yuan stopped once more, turned back, glancing at the hurried Ruan Qiuting, “Miss Ruan.”
Looking at the handso man before her, Ruan Qiuting was already enamored, “You don’t need to keep calling
Miss Ruan. We’re getting engaged at the end of the month. Calling
like that makes
feel very—”
