Chapter 104 - The Truth

The vehicle parked at the parking spot.

As the car could not drive into the alley, the two of them had to walk a little bit before they reached the restaurant.

As she walked beside Lu Xun, Song Xing Xing could not help but cast a few more glances at the man. Thinking that he was still troubled over his work matters, Song Xing Xing became a little worried.

However, even if she wanted to ask him, Song Xing Xing did not know whether she could ask him. At this time, they were merely had an employer and employee relationship.

After walking for a certain distance, the two finally arrived in front of a restaurant.

A delicious aroma wafted through her nose the moment they stood in front of the restaurant. Her stomach started to growl and her mouth salivating. Suddenly, she was really hungry.

Song Xing Xing raised her head to look at the restaurant signage before she followed Lu Xun into the restaurant. The moment they walked in, a middle-aged lady greeted them at the entrance. Following Lu Xun's request, the lady ushered them to a table in a corner of the restaurant.

The seat was a little hidden from the others but it would allow them to observe the people coming in and out to the restaurant.

Seeing the crowd in the restaurant, Song Xing Xing could see that this place had a good reputation. As she glanced at the other customers' table, she could see that there was various delicious food. It seemed that the restaurant was specialized in seafood.

Suddenly, she was looking forward to having her dinner.

After the lady placed the menu on their table and left, Song Xing Xing seemed to lose her mind and started to order everything that she wanted to eat.

When she looked up again, she finally noticed that Lu Xun was watching her with an amused smile on his face.

Song Xing Xing grew embarrassed and she started to scold herself for losing her control the moment she saw a list of seafood menus. It seemed that Lu Xun had found out her weakness. She started to push the menu towards Lu Xun and spoke,

"You… should order something too.

"

"Do you think you would be able to finish the food you ordered?

"

When it comes to seafood, Song Xing Xing had the confidence that she would be able to finish everything she ordered. However, she did not dare to admit this to Lu Xun.

Seeing the shy look on the girl's face, Lu Xun ordered a few side dishes.

As the lady finally left with their order, Song Xing Xing took a few deep breaths and glanced at Lu Xun again. Seeing that he was no longer as unhappy as he was earlier, Song Xing Xing was relieved.

It was then that she recalled that Lu Xun had an important matter to talk to her.

"You said that there is something important you wanted to tell me. What is it?

" Song Xing Xing broke the silence between them. However, once she had finished her words, Song Xing Xing saw that the man's expression became unhappy again.

Suddenly, she wondered if she had misspoken things.

What kind of matters did he want to talk to her? Why did he look so unhappy again?

At this time, the lady returned to send over their drinks.

Lu Xun poured them some drinks and placed the glass of water in front of Song Xing Xing. After debating for a while, Lu Xun decided to tell her the truth.

"Earlier, I received a call from a friend.

" He took a deep breath and announced.

"They have found Miss Bai.

"

Her eyes widened in surprise. A while later, Song Xing Xing let out a breath of relief.

"That's good.

"

Song Xing Xing was still a little worried about Lu Xun's arrangement. Now that they have found Bai Zhi, she did not have to think much about this arrangement. She did not know how she should be facing Lu Xun.

Moreover… She still had her doubt about Lu Xun. With the way he had treated her previously, it was a little hard for her to believe that he had changed his mind about her.

"Perhaps, she had guessed that she would not be able to reach you if she continued to wait at your apartment,

" Lu Xun said.

"Just now, they found her lurking around the studio. I guess that she wanted to find you the moment you leave the studio.

"

Lu Xun pursed his lips into a thin line. Of course, he could not tell her the details of what Zhang Yu Han had told him earlier.

When they found Bai Zhi, they also found that the girl was carrying a fruit knife with her. Lu Xun could not imagine what would happen if Bai Zhi managed to find Song Xing Xing before the others found her. Song Xing Xing would get hurt!

Bai Zhi thought that she had reached a dead-end and was not afraid to do something more dangerous.

"Now that Bai Zhi has been found, then… you don't need to pick me and send me over to work anymore.

"

"Hmm...

" Lu Xun pushed his glasses with his finger to hide the disappointment on his face.

Song Xing Xing seemed to notice the change in Lu Xun. A thought came to her mind but she did not dare to entertain this thought for too long. She just did not want to be disappointed later on.

The lady returned to deliver their food. The moment Song Xing Xing saw the large prawns on the table, she could not stop herself from wanting to eat everything. Seeing that Lu Xun had not spoken a word, she swiftly helped herself to eat.

The restaurant that Lu Xun had taken her to was surprisingly good. Their seafood was fresh and the cooking was delicious. Song Xing Xing looked at the generous portion and started to worry whether she would be able to finish them.

As she continued to eat, a peeled prawn suddenly appeared in her bowl.

When she looked up, Song Xing Xing saw that Lu Xun was peeling a few more prawns before he placed them on her plate again.

"Go on. Eat. I'll help you to peel the prawn for you.

"

"You don't have to do this. Actually, I found that eating seafood was more enjoyable when you peeled the skin yourself.

"

His movement halted.. After a while, Lu Xun continued to peel the prawn in his hand before he continued to place them on her plate.

"Song Xing Xing, can't you see that I'm unhappy?

"
