At the parking lot, Song Luokui quickly found Chi Yu's car, "Let's go, go, go." She was afraid of running into employees, as it happened that Chi Yu came to look for her on the night he returned... her employees probably didn't get a clear look at him back then, did they?
Chi Yu drove out of the parking lot, "Let's go to Jinwei Hall for dinner first, then see an opera?"
Song Luokui: "Okay."
As the car drove down the street, it happened to be rush hour, so there was some traffic. Song Luokui looked outside and suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
"Wait, wait, Chi Yu, pull over for a bit." Song Luokui was staring into a window, wasn't that her brother Song Luosheng?
And sitting across from him was a girl...
Chi Yu quickly pulled over to the side, leaned over to look, "What's up?"
Song Luokui pointed at the window, "That's my brother, the girl sitting across from him... I don't know her."
Chi Yu: "Is it a blind date?"
Song Luokui was suddenly shocked, "A blind date??? He didn't tell me. Oh right, Aunt Gui did mention that grandpa and grandma introduced a girl to my brother." That day she thought it was that girl, so is it this girl today?
Song Luokui looked at the girl sitting across from her brother, she seemed gentle and reserved, with a striking appearance. But she didn't know what her personality was like.
After a while, as if sensing something, Song Luosheng pulled the curtains closed, blocking the view from outside.
Song Luokui: "Can't see anymore."
Chi Yu: "Want to go take a closer look?"
Song Luokui shook her head, "It's fine, let's go. My brother has his own life and privacy." Just like how she was secretly going out with Chi Yu on a date, her brother didn't know about that either.
On the other side, Song Luosheng asked, "Miss Su, how did you get to know my grandparents?"
Although Su Congrong had a striking appearance, her personality was a bit shy and socially awkward. She spoke in a gentle manner, "I... my grandparents seem to know your grandparents."
She felt it was quite sudden too. She had just returned from abroad when her grandparents said they wanted to introduce her to a young man. She originally wanted to refuse, but due to her personality issues, she couldn't bring herself to decline. She didn't expect the man she met to be so... so graceful, seeming like an outstanding young man. Recalling what her grandparents said about his family background, it seemed they were quite influential as well.
Su Congrong suddenly felt a bit insecure, as a man like this probably wasn't lacking in admirers.
At this moment, Song Luosheng had an expressionless look, "Is that so?"
"Yes... yes."
Song Luosheng: "Is Miss Su studying art?"
Su Congrong: "Yes. I studied art at the Royal College in Y Country."
Song Luosheng: "My sister originally wanted to go to the Royal College in Y Country too, but she felt it was too dangerous abroad, so she didn't end up going."
Su Congrong suddenly sensed the young man's gaze softening, "Does Mr. Song... have a sister?"
Song Luosheng: "Mm-hmm."
Su Congrong: "I don't know what Mr. Song's sister's name is, but I used to attend some social gatherings and ladies' events in the country, so I may have seen your sister before."
Song Luosheng: "My sister doesn't like attending those kinds of events, you probably haven't seen her."
"I see..." Su Congrong clutched her dress, suddenly unsure of what to say.
Song Luosheng glanced at his watch, "Let's end our meeting here today, I'll have someone arrange for Miss Su to be sent home."
Su Congrong: "Does Mr. Song have some urgent matter to attend to?"
Song Luosheng: "No, it's just that my sister should be off work, I'll go pick her up."
Su Congrong also stood up, "Miss Song is already working? I thought she was still in school."
Song Luosheng: "She's still in school, but she started her own company and is working during summer break." He sounded quite proud.
Su Congrong: "Miss Song must be very capable."
Song Luosheng didn't show modesty either: "Yes, my sister is great."
Su Congrong: ...She suddenly wanted to meet Mr. Song's sister, it would surely be great to become friends with such an outstanding person.
Su Congrong was escorted to leave, while Song Luosheng called Li Bei, "Has my sister gotten off work? She should be at the company, right?"
Li Bei: "Boss, the Director left at 5 o'clock."
Song Luosheng: "Aren't you with her?"
Li Bei: "The Director doesn't want me following her."
Song Luosheng: "Alright." He hung up and called home, "Aunt Gui, has Luokui come home yet?"
Aunt Gui: "No, the young lady said she's not coming home for dinner tonight."
Song Luosheng frowned, "She went out with friends again? But aren't Zhang Xiyue and the others abroad?"
Song Luosheng then called Uncle An, "Is the young lady in the car?"
Uncle An: "The young lady said she's going out with friends and didn't need me to drive her."
Song Luosheng's frown deepened, what other friends does his Luokui have?
Song Luosheng directly called Song Luokui, "Where are you? Aunt Gui said you're not coming home for dinner tonight?"
On the other side, Song Luokui had just arrived at Jinwei Hall with Chi Yu. Seeing the call, she immediately gestured for Chi Yu to be quiet, "Hello? What's up, brother?"
Then Song Luosheng asked that question.
Song Luokui blinked and lied: "I'm having dinner with friends tonight, I brought them gifts."
Song Luosheng: "What friends? Aren't Zhang Xiyue and the others still abroad?"
Song Luokui rolled her eyes and said, "Classmates, the ones who usually take care of me in class."
Chi Yu pulled out a bill and handed it to a nearby waitress, typing on his phone: "Pretend to be her classmate and say something."
The waitress was very considerate, taking the money and walking over to Song Luokui with a smile, her voice loud enough for Song Luosheng to hear on the other end of the phone: "Dear, what's wrong? Hurry up."
Song Luokui reacted quickly, "Coming, coming. Brother, I'll go home after I finish eating."
Song Luosheng: "When you're done, I'll have Uncle An come pick you up. Next time, let Uncle An take you, in case anything happens."
Song Luokui: "Okay... okay." She had no choice but to have dinner with Chi Yu.
Sitting in the private room, Song Luokui felt a sense of guilt, "Sigh, sneaking out with a guy to have dinner, hiding it from my brother, I suddenly feel like I'm being so disobedient? Is this my rebellious phase coming?"
Chi Yu: "A guy?"
Song Luokui looked at him, "Well, you're my boyfriend."
Chi Yu was satisfied.
Song Luokui: "But I have to go home after we eat. Oh right, is your house at ChunWang Manor renovated yet?"
Chi Yu: "Yes."
Song Luokui: "Mine is done too. Should I move there?"
Chi Yu: "After a while, maybe when school starts again."
Song Luokui: "Mm-hmm?"
Chi Yu: "I'll move there too."
Song Luokui's eyes widened, "You're moving there too?"
Chi Yu took her hand, "Then we won't have to sneak around to date anymore."
At the mention of sneaking around, Song Luokui felt guilty towards Chi Yu again.
Oh, she was such a terrible person, deceiving her brother on one hand, making Chi Yu be her secret lover on the other! What a bittersweet life.
