In the private room—
Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao were sitting on one side, Lu Yilei and Meng Rou on the other. Although it wasn't a clear divide, the atmosphere still felt somewhat strange.
Despite the smile on her face, Meng Rou was on pins and needles, her mind filled with anxiety.
She didn't want to see Zhong Niangyao at all, let alone sit at the same table to eat with her.
To her, Zhong Niangyao was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment, potentially destroying everything she now possessed.
However, even with her inner reluctance, in front of Lu Yilei, she absolutely could not show it, nor could she let Lu Yilei detect any abnormalities.
Lu Yilei stood up, poured tea for both Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, then sat down, starting with some envy, "Third brother, your relationship with Lady Zhong really is great! Have you planned when to get engaged?"
