Shi Nianyao cooperated seamlessly, “Oh, Chief Editor Lian Lian, what a coincidence! Fancy running into you here . Let’s eat together!”

Shen Liangchuan was quite flabbergasted .
Mo Xicheng: …
Did these two women take them for fools?
Would Shi Nianyao come for hotpot here alone?
Besides, that fake greeting… This was Hengdian, the capital city of drama .
The corners of Shen Liangchuan’s mouth curved upwards into a slight smile . Now he understood why the woman had been pestering him for an answer as to what they were having for dinner .
As for Mo Xicheng…
His expression darkened the moment he saw Shi Nianyao .
He was a gloomy person to begin with, but now he looked even more abstruse .

He tensed his chin and, although he had not said anything, his body language suggested that he had suddenly distanced himself .
When Qiao Lian observed this, she immediately understood what Shi Nianyao meant .
It seemed that Mo Xicheng… wasn’t too welcoming towards Shi Nianyao .
However, his upbringing had also taught him not to reject a girl and embarrass her . Hence, he said nothing and merely kept a distance . He gave her a nod of acknowledgment before heading into the private room .
Shi Nianyao opened her mouth in a motion to say something, but before she could do so, he was gone…
Leaving the words stuck in her throat .
Looking hurt, she frowned as she looked at his disappearing figure wistfully .
In the private room .
Because it was only the four of them, the room wasn’t a very big one .

Tastefully decorated in a traditional theme, there were only four chairs, two in a row .
Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan walked into the room and saw that Mo Xicheng had sat down .
She hurriedly tugged at Shen Liangchuan and took a section for them . Raising her eyebrows and glancing at Shi Nianyao, she tried not to be too obvious about her intentions to create an opportunity for the two .
Shi Nianyao walked over and sat next to Mo Xicheng .
In reaction to this, although there was no change in his facial expression, Mo Xicheng shifted slightly away to create more distance between himself and the girl .
Shi Nianyao paused at his movement and then turned to look at him with a startled expression .
Qiao Lian too felt that Mo Xicheng’s action was uncalled for; in fact, it was a bit much .
She turned to give Shen Liangchuan a look .
Shen Liangchuan kept silent .

Being buddies, there was no way he could intervene .
If Mo Xicheng didn’t fancy Shi Nianyao, could he force them to be together, really?
At once, Shi Nianyao’s heart sank .
Because of this episode, the atmosphere in the room became quiet and gloomy .
Shen Liangchuan and Mo Xicheng found a topic to talk about and started to discuss the character Cao Cao .
Qiao Lian and Shi Nianyao, on the other hand, stared at each other and after a while, the latter pouted .
Qiao Lian kept silent .
Qiao Lian extended her arm and gave Shen Liangchuan a poke, interrupting his conversation with Mo Xicheng . She leaned into him and said in a low voice, “Talk to me!”
She wanted to create an opportunity for Mo Xicheng and Shi Nianyao to talk to each other .
Shen Liangchuan was quite flabbergasted .
On the other side of the table, Shi Nianyao finally found the chance . She lifted her glass of fruit juice and held it out to Mo Xicheng, saying, “Mo Xicheng, thank you for taking care of me recently . ”
Looking down, he lifted his glass in response and took a sip . Then he said in an emotionless tone, “You’re welcome . ”
“This attitude!” thought Shi Nianyao, “How am I supposed to continue the conversation?!”
Shortly afterwards, the waitress served the hot pot .
This restaurant used individual pots, so they each had their own .
The waitress arranged the four hotpots on the table for the guests .
When the waitress moved to serve Shi Nianyao’s hot pot, one of her high heels suddenly gave way and the little pot tipped over in Shi Nianyao’s direction .
