At the time, their foods are served . Gu Luan pours a glass of champagne and passes it to Xia Ning, saying: “Cheers . ”
Xia Ning pauses for a while . Then, she clinks her glass with Gu Luan’s .
When Xia Ning hears the clink, she is suddenly shocked .
She wonders whether what she is doing with Gu Luan is a normal communication of business .
She didn’t tell Yi Yunrui frankly about this . If Yi Yunrui knows about it…
“Are you thinking about Commander Yi?” Gu Luan is aware that Xia Ning is silent with the glass in her hand . He gently smiles .
Xia Ning is stunned . She nods and puts down the glass .
Gu Luan’s eyes flash . He gives a sigh: “Director Xia, it is time for dinner . We are just having normal communication . Commander Yi will understand . ” Gu Luan pauses here, “I believe that he also had a lot of dinners like this . ”
Xia Ning’s heart tightens . She tries to put on a smile and lowers her head to eat the food .
The sole fish fillet is very delicious . However, this kind of dinner, she will have once but never .
Because she feels…bad in her heart .
During the dinner, Gu Luan keeps talking with her about interesting things . Xia Ning tries hard to keep smiling as responses . It may seem to be a very harmonious romantic dinner to others, but Xia Ning doesn’t want to stay here even for a while .
She remembers that she will need to work overtime later and feels very bad .

Gu Luan notices Xia Ning’s uneasiness so he doesn’t want to force her . He symbolically eats some food and wipes his mouth: “Let’s go to another place . I want to talk to you about something . ”
Xia Ning frowns: “Aren’t we going to work later?”
“Yes, we are . ” Gu Luan puts down the tissue, “Because of this issue, we are to work overtime . ”
Xia Ning has experienced the Yin Jingsi issue . She instinctively refuses and shakes her head: “Director, you are my boss . However, if you don’t tell me clearly, I am afraid that I am not going with you . ”
Xia Ning is so decisive, which is beyond Gu Luan’s expectation .
Xia Ning looks around and sees that there are not many people around and other seats are quite away from them . She says: “Director Gu, actually this is quite a nice place . Why don’t we talk here? It is better for both you and me . After all, we have to avoid some rumors . ”
Gu Luan thinks for a while and understands what Gu Luan is concerned about .
“OK . ” Gu Luan says but he is reluctant to tell .
Xia Ning waits patiently . She wants to finish the talk with Gu Luan and goes home .
Yi Yunrui said that he would wait for her at home .
Gu Luan thinks for quite a while and then he lifts his eyes to stare at her . He says word by word: “I know what happened between Yin Jingsi and you . ”
Hearing this, Xia Ning loses her color . She asks at once: “What do you know?”

“Don’t worry . ” Gu Luan comforts her, “I happened to find out this . At that time, you were drunk and Yin Jingsi called…I really knew it by chance . Sorry . ”
Xia Ning stares at Gu Luan blankly . After quite a while, she closes her eyes and gives a sigh, asking: “Did you see the photos?”
Gu Luan hesitates for a while: “I realized the strange tone of Yin Jingsi when she spoke, so I had an investigation . I saw the photos of Ou Yixuan and you . ”
Xia Ning turns pale: “Where did you see the photos?”
“I checked your phone . ” Gu Luan responds honestly .
“…” Gu Luan checked her phone!
God . As to the confidentiality of privacy, Gu Luan knows better than anyone else .
How could he check her phone without her permission?
Gu Luan is aware that Xia Ning is angry . He explains at once: “Ning, sorry . At that time, I was really worried about you when I heard Yin Jingsi threatening you . I felt anxious so I checked your phone . I am really sorry…”
“Then what you are doing now is to apologize to me?” Xia Ning darkens her face, “Good . Now, you have done it . Can I leave now?”
“Wait a minute . ” Gu Luan stops Xia Ning who is going to leave, “Actually I ask you to come out today to discuss how to deal with the problem . ”
Xia Ning is just going to respond but she suddenly changes her mind . Today, Yin Jingsi said that someone was protecting her . Is that Gu Luan?

“It was you solving the problems for me these days?” Xia Ning tentatively asks .
Gu Luan nods: “Yes . It was me . Ning, now, you have something kept in Yin Jingsi’s hand, she would not give you a break . Does Commander Yi know anything about the photos?”
What he asked hits the weak point of Xia Ning .
“No, he doesn’t . ”
“What are you going to do? Are you going to tell him frankly?”
Xia Ning feels her heart aching: “No . I am not going to tell him . ”
Being aware the uneasiness of Xia Ning, Gu Luan feels a little anxious: “If you have not figured out the solution, do you like to discuss with me about how to deal with it perfectly?”
Xia Ning curls her lips . Generally speaking, it is not a problem to get a third person involved .
Not to mention that Gu Luan is a man, which may cause misunderstanding to Yi Yunrui .
Gu Luan sees that Xia Ning is hesitating . He continues: “Do you think that Commander Yi will forgive you if he knows what happened?”
Well…If Yi Yunrui knows, will he forgive her?
Xia Ning thinks for quite a while and she shakes her head: “I don’t know…”
“Since you are unsure and don’t have any idea about that, why not get some help from another person? Ning, I am your supervisor and friend . ”
Gu Luan stares at Xia Ning intensely . Xia Ning feels moved . However, this is not an issue to be known by a third person .
Gu Luan is a man . Not to mention that his attitude towards her is so ambiguous .
Thinking of this, Xia Ning makes up her mind .
“Director Gu, thank you for your consideration . However, this is my personal issue . I don’t want to get you involved . We talk about it this evening . And I hope this is the end of this issue . If there isn’t any other thing, I may leave now . My husband is waiting for me at home . Excuse me . ”
Xia Ning deliberately emphasizes the word “husband”, which makes Gu Luan feel painful .
Gu Luan sees Xia Ning is going to stand up and turn to leave . He catches up with her: “You didn’t drive your car here . I may drive you home . ”
Xia Ning slightly pauses: “Then, please send me back to the parking of the company and I will drive home myself . ”
Xia Ning says decisively . Gu Luan frowns but has to agree: “OK . I will drive you back to the parking . ”
They walk out of the restaurant . At the time, in a booth inside the restaurant, An Zeyou strokes his forehead, “What is Mrs . Yi doing with that Master Gu here? To have a romantic dinner?”
An Zeyou finally gets some time to enjoy his dinner here . Unexpectedly, he sees Gu Luan and Mrs . Yi having dinner together here, while Mrs . Yi seems unhappy .
Romantic dinner? Shit . How dare Mr . Gu seduce his sister-in-law publicly?
No way . If there can be any seducing, he, An Zeyou should take the priority . It can’t be the turn of that seemingly intelligent Mr . Gu!
Thinking of this, An Zeyou turns his eyes and lifts his lips . He puts on an evil smile . Then, he takes out his phone and calls Yi Yunrui: “Hello, Brother Yi…”
