“Come on, does this young master need you to let him win?” He brushed off his hand and huffed, “Next time, I’ll knock you out within a minute.”

Jian Luo thrust his hands into his pockets, “Where are we eating?”

“The usual place.” Bai Jue said, “I didn’t bring any money either.”

Anyway, the restaurant is owned by Black Jack, so they could just go mooch off him.

“If you didn’t bring any money, what are you going to eat.” Jian Luo retorted.

“…”

Holy crap, he’s acting like he brought money.

If it weren’t for him dragging him out in such a hurry this morning, would he have left without bringing anything?

He is the one to blame, yet he has the audacity to lecture him. How shameless.

The two arrived at the restaurant, and Bai Jue was the first to get out of the car.

As soon as he stepped into the restaurant, Bai Jue regretted it.

This is deadly.

Why is he here too?

If Jian Luo sees him, it’s going to be a big problem.

“What are you doing standing at the entrance?”

Jian Luo parked the car, saw Bai Jue standing at the entrance, and gave him a little nudge.

Bai Jue turned around, his expression unchanging, “Jian Luo, I just remembered my friend just opened a restaurant, let’s go there for a change of taste.”

“We’re already here, why change places?” Jian Luo didn’t understand his actions and felt that something wasn’t right.

“I’m tired of the food here, let’s go somewhere else to eat.” Bai Jue, pulling him away, tried to forcibly take him away.

If only he hadn’t brought up the idea of eating, what a mess this is turning out to be.

Jian Luo looked at him inquisitively, sensing that something was off.

He turned his head, and when his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of who was sitting at the table by the window inside the restaurant, a shadow passed over his handsome face.

In an instant, he understood why Bai Jue was acting so strange.

No wonder he was in such a hurry to persuade him to eat elsewhere. So this was the reason.

Heh, did he call Bai Jue to monitor his order because he was afraid that he would interrupt his date?

“Bai Jue, you really know how to cover up for him.” He teased nonchalantly.

Bai Jue’s body stiffened, “Jian Luo, actually it’s nothing, maybe they’re just discussing business.”

Jian Luo gave him a brief glance.

Business?

If it were anyone else, maybe he would believe it.

But the woman sitting across from him happens to be someone he knows.

She went to the same school as them, the daughter of Black Jack’s mother’s dear friend, and she confessed her feelings for him countless times when they were in school.

Who among the school didn’t know about Lis’ crush on Black Jack, it was even rumored that if the Sophallo Family were to have a marriage alliance, Lis would be the likely choice.

“Jian Luo, let’s go somewhere else to eat.” Bai Jue tried to pull him again towards the door, but he didn’t budge.

Jian Luo’s feet remained rooted to the spot, yanking Bai Jue back.

“We are eating right here.”

Why should he have to go elsewhere to eat just because he brought his woman here?

Bai Jue felt like calling him an ancestor. It was seriously hard to get along with him.

Before Bai Jue could argue, Jian Luo dragged him inside.

At the window, Lis looked at the man sitting opposite her, her eyes filled with admiration.

She knew he agreed to meet her because of Aunt Qiong An’s help, but that didn’t matter, what was important was that she could see him and share a meal with him.

“Black Jack, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a meal alone. I remember when I used to visit your house as a kid, Auntie Qiong An always prepared lots of snacks for us.” She said nostalgically, attempting to steer the conversation to their past.

“How nice it would be if we could return to those childhood days.”

The gentle voice opposite her added to her yearning, as Black Jack tapped his fingers on the table. His thoughts already on someone at the racetrack.

He wondered if Bai Jue was watching that idiot.

Lis saw his distracted look and felt a sense of disappointment well up within her.

Doesn’t he care about her at all?

Won’t he even spare her a gentle look?

“Welcome!”

The waiter welcomed them with a warm smile.

“Young Master Jian, Young Master Bai!” The manager, seeing them both, hurriedly went over to greet them.

Bai Jue waved his hand, dismissing him.

“Bai Jue!” Lis looked up and to her surprise, saw the people who had just entered, “Jian Luo!”

Black Jack’s handsome face turned gloomy when he saw who entered the restaurant.

“Lis, long time no see.” Jian Luo greeted warmly, completely ignoring the gloomy look on Black Jack’s face.

Bai Jue met Black Jack’s gloomy gaze and helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

The stubborn guy insisted on coming in, and he really couldn’t do anything about it.

Moreover, who knew that coincidentally, he would also bring someone to eat here, and a woman at that.

“Long time no see, are you two also here to eat?” Lis said sweetly.

Jian Luo made a sound of agreement, saying casually, “What a coincidence, it seems we’ve crashed your date.”

Lis took a glance at Black Jack, seeing that he didn’t deny it, a rosy hue rose on her face, “Would you like to join us for dinner?”

Us?

Heh, it seems there’s a sense of discomfort in the term.

“No need, Bai Jue and I don’t usually enjoy being the third wheels.” He said jokingly, with the composure of someone who didn’t care.

After saying this, he grabbed Bai Jue and both of them sat down at the table next to them.

Black Jack’s blue eyes filled with a chilling coldness, both angry and helpless.

Meanwhile, Jian Luo ordered a whole table of dishes.

Bai Jue looked at the table heaving with food, his eye twitching.

“Why did you order so many dishes? We can’t finish all of this.”

Why does he feel like he’s sitting across from a ticking time bomb?

Jian Luo responded faintly, “Because I feel like it.”

Then, he picked up his knife and fork, and began eating with great elegance.

He shot Bai Jue a glance, focusing his attention on the untouched steak in front of him.

“Can you fill your stomach just by watching me eat?”

Bai Jue, “…”

The one who missed breakfast was him, yet he is the one who’s feasting as if he was starving.

After Black Jack didn’t deny their date just now, Lis had been smiling, “Black Jack, don’t you like these things?”

“No.” Black Jack said.

His icy voice, despite Lis’ familiarity with it, made her heart sour.

She chuckled awkwardly, put down her knife and fork, and accidentally knocked over her glass of red wine.

“Clink–”
The wine glass toppled over, spilling red wine all over her expensive white dress, causing Lis to gasp.
