When answered, a familiar voice was on the other end, "Wanwan, are you busy now?"
Nan Wan leaned against the car window and replied softly, "No, I’m not."
"I’m not a public figure anymore, and it’s rare to enjoy life like this. It’s been a long ti, so I wanted to invite you for a al at the ’Ti Restaurant’ near Qing University."
Ti Restaurant.
Qing University was the alma mater of Nan Wan, Shen Zhii, and Xu Moyi. Lu Li studied at the Drama Academy, which was nearby.
On weekends, the four of them always t at ’Ti Restaurant’ to catch up. It held so many mories of their youth.
Unknowingly, a long distance has grown between them and those youthful days.
Nan Wan dragged her thoughts back, a gentle smile flickering between her delicate eyebrows, deliberately misinterpreting his words, "Having a guilty conscience, you feel sorry for , so you’re trying to make ands with a al?"
Lu Li’s gaze was warm and gentle, watching the passersby outside, he followed her lead and answered, "Yes, I’m so poor that I only have money left. Wait till you co to order. Even if you want to eat the stars in the sky, I’ll fill you up."
What he owed her, he couldn’t repay thoroughly.
Nan Wan seed to consider seriously, a few seconds later, she replied, "Okay, I’ll reluctantly accept. Wait for a bit."
As proud as the peacock with the most beautiful feathers in the zoo.
Having known each other for over twenty years, even without seeing her, Lu Li could imagine her appearance now, "Alright, don’t worry, be safe on your way."
Xu Moyi ntioned that she was nearly six months pregnant. If not for worrying about the dia’s wild imagination, he would have driven to pick her up himself.
Nan Wan said disdainfully, "Got it, you’re really nagging."
After hanging up, she told Liu An to turn the car around, "We’re not going back yet, head to the Ti Restaurant near Qing University."
Although President Mu had instructed to take Mrs. Mu directly back to BieAn Villa, Liu An knew who not to cross at the mont, and it wasn’t President Mu, but the young master in the car.
With a little thought, having reached a decision, he respectfully responded, "Okay."
After speaking, he turned the steering wheel, knowing Mrs. Mu’s temperant quite well by now, especially how difficult she beca after getting pregnant. He didn’t intend to provoke her.
...
An hour later, Nan Wan arrived at Ti Restaurant.
Lu Li sat in the old spot; she spotted him in one glance. At that ti, he was just an up-and-coming minor celebrity in the entertainnt circle, with no dia shadowing him. The spot by the window had good lighting and views, and they’d always call to reserve it before their gatherings.
Lu Li saw her too, standing up and walking over, first taking a look at her rounded pregnant belly, then naturally supporting her as they walked inside.
Knowing she was prone to car sickness, and now with a precious bundle in her belly, the driver’s speed must have slowed down, but he still teased her, "What are you, a turtle? Crawling over here?"
Nan Wan sat in the wicker chair, shooting him an exasperated glance, "Big brother, it was traffic, alright?"
Lu Li poured her a cup of hot tea and teased with a smile, "Isn’t your family really rich? Why not fly over in a rocket? Even the traffic police wouldn’t mind that."
Was it because of the child in her belly, or was it... Mu Jin Huan.
Whatever the reason, it’s truly wonderful.
Nan Wan was amused by his words, tucked stray strands behind her ear, took a sip of water, then lazily flipped through the nu, "Did you forget to take your dicine before you ca out?"
Lu Li observed her, noticing just how much she seed to have changed since last they t.
The previously icy and aloof vibe was gone, her refined features now gentle and lovely. The evening twilight seeped through the glass, falling on her, her dark soft long hair and fair skin glowing brightly. When she smiled, it was like the sun lted into her smile.
It was dinner ti, and more than half the patrons in the restaurant were young students.
In groups of threes and fives per table, they chatted and laughed heartily, embodying the unique youthful vigor and assertiveness of that age.
"We’ve clearly graduated a long ti ago, yet seeing them makes it feel like exams were just yesterday."
Ti flies so fast, only to suddenly realize it while so many days have since passed by, separating them from a once unreachable youthful past.
Nan Wan didn’t like this lancholic nostalgic vibe, so she made a remark that killed the mood, "Did you bring your wallet?"
Lu Li, "..."
In the car.
Liu An hesitated for more than ten minutes, but eventually made the call to Mu Jin Huan.
"President Mu, Madam is with..." He really dared not utter the words ’ex-husband’. After pondering for a few seconds, he eventually gave up, "...with Lu Li; there are reporters taking candid shots outside the restaurant. What do you think?"
