My Wife Gets More Vicious The More I Spoil Her

Chapter 32: Having a meal is more nutritious

Xie Xuan took out his phone and checked the time. He interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. "It's almost noon."

Lu Haiqiao glanced in the direction of the art exhibition and frowned slightly, "Yes."

She hadn't received any news from Lu Yunge on her phone, indicating that the Xie family hadn't brought out the painting 'Spring River' yet.

What's going on?

Are they trying to deceive people?

"Hungry?"

When Xie Xuan's voice sounded in her ears, Lu Haiqiao turned around again. When she faced him, her brows relaxed, and there was no sign of frustration. She met his gaze generously and naturally.

"A little," she nodded.

"Besides the suspended coffee shop, there is also a restaurant on the 25th floor," Xie Xuan leaned in closer, the faint fragrance of the young lady lingered in his nose, "Drinking Americano for lunch isn't healthy, so having a meal would be more nutritious."

She blinked, "Are you suggesting you want to treat me to lunch?

"I heard that the restaurant here is not cheap, you..."

At this moment, Big Xie, who had remained silent, suddenly said, "Changed job, employee benefits, we get a discount."

He stared at her with deep and cold eyes. Although his tone was polite, there was an unmistakable sense of detachment.

Regardless of whether the person in front of him was a friend or a foe, Xie Xuan's identity had to be kept confidential.

If Xie Second and Xie Third encountered a similar situation, they would also react the same way.

Before Lu Haiqiao could say anything, the phone in her bag rang.

It was a WeChat voice message from Lu Yunge.

"Haiqiao, that lady from the Xie family doesn't have the painting. It turns out her goal is the same as yours, she's looking for it. Organizing the art exhibition was just a way to spread the message."

"So let's go. It's noon now, what do you want to eat? I'll take you out for lunch."

While she was on the phone, Xie Xuan cast a meaningful glance at Big Xie.

Employee benefits?

That excuse was beyond lame.

She seemed lost in thought, holding her phone and not responding for a long time.

Lu Yunge called out to her a few times, "Haiqiao? Haiqiao? Where are you now?"

"Ah, oh..." She finally snapped back to reality.

Lu Yunge: "Tell me where you are, I'll come find you."

Upon hearing this, she lowered her gaze and said in a serious tone, "What? You met an old friend?"

Lu Yunge, standing alone in the exhibition hall: "???"

"Oh? Your friend invited you to have lunch? You can't take me with you?" Lu Haiqiao looked disappointed.

Lu Yunge was baffled.

When did he run into an old friend?

And his old friend invited him to lunch?

What the heck!

"Okay, then." She nodded thoughtfully, "You guys go ahead, I'll figure out lunch myself..."

On the other end of the line, Lu Yunge, who had no idea what was going on, hastily interrupted, "Hey, hey, hey, Haiqiao, when did I meet..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the voice call was disconnected.

When he tried calling back, a pop-up notification appeared in the middle of the screen.

'The other party has added you to the blacklist and you cannot make voice calls.'

Lu Yunge: "???"

Xie Xuan looked at Lu Haiqiao as she put her phone back into her bag and casually asked, "Your cousin?"

"Yes, he's going to have lunch with a friend, so I'm on my own." She said with a straight face, even though she was spouting nonsense.

Xie Xuan raised an eyebrow knowingly. "So that means..."

She took a few steps forward to the elevator door.

She reached out and pressed the 'upward' button. "That means... let's go."
