The Sweetest Medicine

Chapter 116: Meeting Filled With Suspicion

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

“Hello,” Lin Jiayu glanced coldly at the man that was more beautiful than a woman. After her dull response, she quickly looked away with disinterest.

Lu Xuechen raised his eyebrows a little in surprise. He then asked, “Gorgeous, did you just arrive? Why didn’t I see you when I was at Gangan’s place?”

Lin Jiayu did not answer as her expression remained cold.

Her gaze was focused in front of her, looking impatient.

“She’s a neighbor that lives next door,” Yu Gangan smiled awkwardly as she helped Lin Jiayu answer.

Lu Xuechen gave a gentle, “Oh”, before he started driving forward.

This woman was beautiful and her body was sexy and seductive, but she was much too cold. The way she looked at him was chilling.

He liked gorgeous women, but apart from being sexy and beautiful, they also needed to be passionate. A cold woman like this didn’t seem like she’d be very interesting in bed.

The place they had for lunch was chosen by Lin Jiayu: Century Royal.

Century Royal was a famous high-class restaurant in Baiyang City that had a VIP membership system.

The restaurant was quiet and had a classic beauty to it.

Since they didn’t book a table and the private rooms were already full, the waiter led them to a table beside the window.

The furniture in the restaurant was made from rosewood carved with floral patterns and outside the window was a fake mountain and fountain surrounded by flowers and plants. The place was aesthetically pleasing and it felt like they had escaped from the city.

Afraid of the awkward silence, Yu Gangan’s lips twitched a little. She wanted to say something to liven the atmosphere.

Fang Zhihan never spoke much.

Lin Jiayu didn’t either.

However, Lu Xuechen, usually joked around, but now that Lin Jiayu was there and she showed disinterest a few times, he lost his enthusiasm and stopped talking as well.

This was a difficult situation for Yu Gangan; she was never good at talking.

But, now that these people were gathered, she couldn’t let the atmosphere turn too cold.

Trying hard to find a conversation topic, she smiled and asked Lin Jiayu, “Jiayu, I heard President Lin say that you were very familiar with Jingcheng. I’m going there next week, is there a fun place you could recommend? I’ll check it out when I’m there.”

The training course hosted by the Chinese medicine association was next month.

Before Lin Jiayu could respond, Lu Xuechen said, “Jingcheng? You should ask a local like me. Tell me what you want to do and what you want to eat, I will rush over there to be your driver and tour guide. I guarantee you’ll return happy.”

“You’re from Jingcheng?”

Yu Gangan was a little surprised as she glanced at Fang Zhihan.

If Lu Xuechen was from Jingcheng, was Fang Zhihan also from there?

Fang Zhihan looked into her eyes as he ran his fingers across his teacup. With a smile, he said, “Even though your husband is from Jingcheng, you can still ask him to be our driver.”

Lu Xuechen scoffed, “Mr. Fang, I’m not offering to be your driver, I’m offering to be Gangan’s driver.”

Yu Gangan smiled, “Thank you, Mr. Lu.”

With a gentle smile, Lu Xuechen said in a gentlemanly manner, “Gangan, stop calling me Mr. Lu, it’s too distant. Didn’t I already tell you that my name is Lu Xuechen?”

After hearing this name, the quietly sitting Lin Jiayu suddenly lifted her gaze and looked at the man. She then glanced at Fang Zhihan.

There was a strong uncertainty in her eyes.

Sensing the abnormality in her gaze, Fang Zhihan looked back at the woman.

His eyes were cold and sharp, filled with warning.

Lin Jiayu furrowed her brows. What was Fang Zhihan warning her about?

Did he not want Yu Gangan to find out about his identity?

But, Yu Gangan was a friend that she really liked.
