Perfect Fiance

Chapter 9: Heart-pounding Excitement

"Why did you come here?" leaning her head to a side, she asked with a faint smile.

Due to the examinations, the girl's outfit was extremely modest; it was just a deep blue batwing sleeved top combined with knee-length light blue jean shorts. However, on her feet, she had worn a pair of about four to five centimeter wedged sandals so the top of her head just about reached the height at his jaw.

As for her face, Su Jin hardly ever applied makeup. This face of hers, even if it was bare in broad daylight, it was still extremely outstanding. After putting on makeup... Kindly please refer to that night of the graduation party.

Therefore, in the afternoon sunlight that shone through the leaves of the magnolia tree, one could almost clearly see the fine hair on the girl's face.

With her previously guarded precaution stripped, and her inability to immediately hide behind it, that pair of glistening eyes had turned pure and gentle.

Unable to resist, Lu Xi caressed the crown of her head.

"Naturally, as a suitor, I am here to ask you out for a dinner and movie date."

Dinner and a movie...

Su Jin rubbed her forehead, what an outdated cliché.

Still... Rolling her eyes, she arched a brow and replied, "what if I refused?"

"Refuse?" Lu Xi seemed to not have predicted this reply of hers and shook his head in shock. He sighed and added in a low voice, "then, the aromatic spicy Mekongina fish that I especially ordered at the seafood bar, that specialises in charcoal-grilled fish, will go to waste."

Mekongina fish, aromatic and spicy flavoured.

As expected, Su Jin swallowed back down her saliva.

"The Mekongina fish meat is tender and deliciously fresh, and also it does not have any tiny bones. It is an excellent fish that is made for grilling." Glancing at the girl beside him, Lu Xi lightly smirked, "Jin'er, are you really sure that you aren't willing to try it?"

Su Jin clenched her teeth furiously. The smile upon his face was just like a wolf using a carrot-and-stick method to bait a rabbit. Yet, she still... could not refuse it.

She wasn't a foodie, it was just that she had no resistance to the food that she loved, especially when the person who invited her was someone she was extremely familiar with.

"Alright." Looking upwards, she nodded at him, "since you are so sincere, I will agree."

Lu Xi could not help but burst into laughter and raised his hand into an inviting posture.

"Jie!" As the two people were preparing to leave, from behind them a girl's voice resounded.

As she turned back to look, Su Jin smiled. As expected, it was Lin Xiyue.

"Were you having your exams here too?" Su Jin asked as she looked at the girl dressed in a white skirt who had walked a few steps forward towards her.

"Yep." Lin Xiyue nodded and looked at the man standing beside her. Her eyes flashed with a wisp of mocking laughter, "Jiejie's husband is here to pick Jiejie up, right?"

"Xiyue!" Furrowing her brows, Su Jin lowly exclaimed.

"Alright, alright." Lin Xiyue shrugged and changed the way she addressed him, "Mr. Lu, did you come to find Jiejie?"

Feeling it was a slight pity that the 'husband' title was so fiercely shot down, Lu Xi looked towards her and nodded.

Noticing that Lu Xi also did not have any intention of talking to her, Lin Xiyue did not mind anyway. After all, after living as neighbours for so long, the outstandingly astute her had already accurately understood what kind of person this brother-in-law was. He appeared gentle, harmless, courteous and modest, however, in reality, he was actually rather indifferent. Presenting himself like this today, it was only because of Su Jin's presence.
