Snow Color

Chapter 392 Ode to Joy 36

Luo Wenxuan certainly had no objection to such an arrangement. After all, this was a great opportunity to get to know Ji Weizhi in depth! You know, although he had heard of the Sword Brigade when he was in the military district before, he knew very little about the specific situation of its members.

As they were enjoying the food happily, who could have expected to run into Andy and others who happened to be here. Qiu Yingying was the first to discover them. She was so surprised that she jumped over like a little rabbit.

Qiu Yingying ran over and shouted to Luo Yining enthusiastically: "Ningning, why are you here? What a coincidence!" Her bright smile seemed to light up the entire restaurant.

Luo Yining was also quite surprised when she heard Qiu Yingying's call. She looked up at Qiu Yingying and responded with a smile: "Yingying, you are here too."

At this time, Fan Shengmei noticed Ji Weizhi and another man standing next to Luo Yining, and asked curiously: "Ningning, I didn't expect to see you here, who is this...?"

Before Luo Yining started to introduce them, Fan Shengmei had already cast her eyes over here. When she saw the two men beside Luo Yining, her eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help but secretly marvel in her heart. Both of them were of extraordinary temperament and elegant demeanor, and no matter what clothes they wore or what accessories they wore, they were all of high quality and valuable. Fan Shengmei knew that with her current financial situation, even if she worked hard for a lifetime, it would be difficult to buy one of them. Thinking of this, her eyes became more and more complicated, with both jealousy that was difficult to conceal and deep envy.

However, at this moment, Fan Shengmei was most worried that Luo Yining would leak some of her personal details without knowing it. If this was true, Wang Baichuan would know everything, but she herself had not yet figured out what kind of situation she was in. Thinking back to Wang Baichuan's cheating on her by lending her a car, she couldn't help but feel angry, but at the same time, she was extremely eager to continue to maintain the image of the aloof and cold goddess in Wang Baichuan's mind. In any case, she would never allow Wang Baichuan to underestimate her.

But at this critical moment, Luo Yining showed up without any warning. As for whether Luo Yining would agree to keep the secret for her, she really had no way of judging. After all, the relationship between her and Luo Yining was not as close as that between Andy and Luo Yining. Because of this, she really didn't know how to bring up the matter with Luo Yining.

But as long as she thought about having to personally ask Luo Yining to conceal the truth for her, she would involuntarily feel an indescribable and complicated emotion in her heart. Although she knew that she was indeed not as outstanding as Luo Yining, she was still unwilling to be inferior to Luo Yining.

However, at this moment, her mind was in a mess, and she had no idea where to start. Thousands of words were stuck in her throat, and she finally chose to remain silent, standing quietly in front of this group of people. At this moment, Luo Yining smiled and broke the awkwardness: "It's just right, I didn't expect to meet you here. Come, let me introduce you, this is my twin brother, Luo Wenxuan." Hearing his sister's introduction, Luo Wenxuan politely nodded to everyone and said: "Hello! I'm glad to meet you all."

Qiu Yingying was originally looking at the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of her with curiosity. When she heard what Luo Yining said, she suddenly showed an extremely surprised expression on her face, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, Ningning, I have never heard you mention that you have a twin brother! And he is so handsome, just like you, as if they were carved from the same mold!"

Luo Yining looked at Qiu Yingying's exaggerated expression and couldn't help laughing, then she invited her warmly: "Since it's such a coincidence, why don't we all sit down and have a good meal together?" Qiu Yingying nodded excitedly and agreed: "Okay, okay! Let's sit down!" Then she prepared to find a seat.

Seeing this, Guan Juer on the side quickly reached out and gently pulled the corner of Qiu Yingying's clothes. It turned out that Guan Juer saw Fan Shengmei not far away, and instantly remembered the thing that Fan Shengmei had asked them to do before. She was worried that if everyone accidentally mentioned this matter when they sat together for dinner and chat, it would be troublesome. So, Guan Juer took advantage of the fact that no one else noticed this and quickly whispered a reminder in Qiu Yingying's ear.

After Guan Juer's reminder, Qiu Yingying also remembered Fan Shengmei's instructions. But at this time, everyone had already sat down, and it seemed inappropriate to regret it. In desperation, they had to bite the bullet and sit down first, hoping that nothing unexpected would happen next.

Wei Wei sat down slowly, his eyes moving around casually. Suddenly, his sight fixed on a few people not far away, one of whom was Luo Yining, whom Andy had mentioned to him. From a distance, it could be seen that this was a woman with outstanding temperament and quite intelligent. When Wei Wei really saw her clearly, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: As Andy said, this woman is indeed very intelligent.

When Wei Wei was looking at Luo Yining, he unexpectedly met her gaze. Her eyes were as clear as water, as if they could see through people's hearts, which shocked Wei Wei's heart. Almost at the same time, Wei Wei noticed a faint glance from the man next to Luo Yining. Although it was just a quick glance, Wei Wei clearly smelled a hint of warning from it, and a slight uneasiness rose in his heart. However, this feeling was fleeting, and there was no other movement afterwards.

At this time, Andy noticed that Wei Wei was acting strange and asked, "What's wrong with you?" But Wei Wei seemed to be completely immersed in his own thoughts and did not respond to Andy's question. He seemed to have lost his soul. Seeing this, Andy raised his voice again and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing Andy's repeated calls, Wei Wei suddenly came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He took a deep breath, tried to calm down the waves in his heart, and quickly regained his smile on his face. He replied nonchalantly: "Nothing, I was just thinking about a difficult problem at work. Now I have figured it out, so I feel much better." As he said this, he shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed.

"Yeah, that's true." Andy nodded casually, without thinking too much about the details, and naturally didn't say anything more.

Time passed quietly, and when the topic reached a critical point, Luo Yining stood up and prepared to go to the bathroom. However, to her surprise, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying also expressed their desire to go together at almost the same time. Even more surprising was that even Andy followed them to the bathroom in the end.

As soon as she entered the bathroom, Qiu Yingying couldn't wait to say to Luo Yining, "Ningning, please help us keep a secret today. Sister Fan just said that she lives alone, but in fact, Qu Xiaoxiao, Guan Juer and I live together. Since Sister Fan has said so, Ningning, please be kind and help us!"

At this time, Fan Shengmei happened to walk into the bathroom. After hearing what Qiu Yingying said, she quickly continued, "This matter is indeed my fault. It's all my fault. But I really don't want to destroy the fixed image in his mind. Ningning, can you help me this time?"

Facing the two's request, Luo Yining simply responded: "Don't worry, I won't say anything." In fact, in her heart, Fan Shengmei was not worth lying for. But she didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she thought that keeping silent was the wisest choice.

After hearing Luo Yining's answer, Fan Shengmei didn't know how to respond for a moment. At this moment, she inexplicably felt ashamed and inferior in front of Luo Yining.

She knew very well that Luo Yining was really helping her by saying that. But at this moment, all the words were stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to express them. Saying "thank you" seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't say it; but the other person really helped her, and it seemed too unkind not to say something.

As she was struggling internally, Fan Shengmei finally plucked up the courage and uttered through gritted teeth: "Thank you." Although her voice was so soft that only she could hear it, it at least conveyed her gratitude.

At this time, Andy walked to the sink and turned on the faucet. The water flowed loudly. While washing her hands, she said calmly, "Isn't it better to be honest?"

After hearing Andy's words, Fan Shengmei's face changed slightly. She certainly knew that being honest was the fundamental way to solve the problem, but there were some things and some people that made it hard for her to speak up. "I know that, but I just can't say it! I don't want to appear so embarrassed in front of him. So please help me." Fan Shengmei bit her lip, her eyes full of helplessness and pleading.

She knew that sooner or later she would have to face reality and tell the other person the truth. However, she wanted to keep a good image of herself in that person's heart, even if it was just the good self she once was.

"Sister Fan, you can rest assured! We sisters will definitely keep the secret for you and will never leak a single word to anyone!" Qiu Yingying patted her chest and promised.

At this moment, Guan Juer, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "But... I just took a few photos on the boat and posted them on WeChat Moments. As a result, Qu Xiaoxiao liked my post. I'm worried that she might notice something. What if she comes over?"

After hearing these words, Fan Shengmei was speechless and complained in her heart. You know, with Qu Xiaoxiao's personality of wanting to stir up trouble and love to join in the fun, once she heard the news, she would definitely rush in without hesitation like a cat smelling blood. Thinking of this, Fan Shengmei's face became more solemn, and an ominous premonition arose.

At this moment, Andy spoke up to comfort everyone: "Don't worry too much! You see, Qu Xiaoxiao has been troubled by the review team recently. She has to accompany those difficult clients every day. She is so busy that she doesn't have the time to take care of our affairs. So I don't think it's such a coincidence that she can make time to join in the fun." As Andy spoke, he signaled everyone to relax and not to be too nervous.

After hearing Andy's words, Guan Juer felt reassured and agreed, "Yes, and this is not a public place that everyone knows about. If no one specifically gives her directions, she probably won't know where this is." Although she said this, Guan Juer was still a little uneasy in her heart.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Yingying patted her chest and assured, "Sister Fan, you can rest assured! We will keep the secret strictly and will never reveal a single word to anyone. Even in the face of torture, we will never give in!" Looking at Qiu Yingying's confident look, Fan Shengmei felt a little relieved.

However, Luo Yining on the side calmly analyzed: "Although Qu Xiaoxiao herself may not know about this matter, it is hard to say about those friends around her. If someone tells her, the truth will soon come to light with a little investigation. So, if you really decide to keep it secret, you must be fully prepared to deal with various situations in advance." These words were like a basin of cold water poured on the fire of hope that had just been ignited by everyone, and the atmosphere fell into tension again.

Fan Shengmei just realized at this moment that with Qu Xiaoxiao's impetuous and fearless personality, she would definitely not be able to suppress her curiosity and would try every means to find out where this place is. When she thought of this, Fan Shengmei's heart suddenly surged with an indescribable anxiety and uneasiness.

At this moment, she was like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a panic, completely losing her usual calmness. After all, Qu Xiaoxiao was like an unstable bomb that could explode at any time. Once she really came here, no one could predict what kind of uproar she would cause.

Just when Fan Shengmei was at a loss, Andy appeared like a savior and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, if Xiaoqu really comes, I will find a suitable time to have a good talk with her. Believe me, she should understand and agree." Hearing Andy's comforting words, Fan Shengmei's heart finally settled down a little, but she was still a little uneasy.

"Andy, thank you so much." Fan Shengmei said with gratitude. It seemed that now she could only place her hopes on Andy.
