Seeing that he was not talking to her, she was a little puzzled as she followed Mike to the dining table. But even when the dishes were served, Su Jinyi was still unable to recover from her shock.
Looking at Su Jinyi who was indifferently looking at the dishes, Mike couldn't help but ask: "Are the dishes not suitable for your appetite?"
She shook her head and reluctantly stuffed a mouthful of food into her mouth.
Seeing her like this, Mike frowned, but did not say anything, and continued to eat. Seeing that she was still in slow motion, he could not help but laugh, and felt that Su Jinyi was extremely strange today.
"Right, last time because you had something to do, you didn't get together for a meal. Now that you finally have time, I want to ask, what do you usually do?" Mike raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest.
Su Jinyi was completely focused on Gong Yutian at the moment, so she naturally did not have the mood to continue chatting with Mike."Don't do anything, it feels like it's just day after day." She looked unblinkingly at Gong Yutian, who was standing behind Mike.
Mike smiled to express his understanding and nodded: "I originally thought you were a very busy person, but I didn't expect that you would also be free everyday."
Su Jinyi nodded her head indifferently, seeing Gong Yutian sitting upright on the chair, as though he was waiting for someone, even the waiter who went up to ask about it was rejected with a smile, which made her even more curious.
Mike didn't notice in the slightest the change in Su Jinyi's expression, but there was something that had always puzzled him. Putting down his chopsticks, he looked at Su Jinyi with a face full of smiles and asked, "I remember that we haven't met in a while and I thought you had long since forgotten about what happened previously. Why did you suddenly invite me to di er today?"
Su Jinyi's gaze continued to wander on Gong Yutian's body. In regards to the question raised by Mike's words, his left ear went in and out of his right ear as he indifferently nodded his head.
Seeing that Su Jinyi was staring at him in a daze, Mike became suspicious, but then he felt that something was amiss. He waved his hand in front of Su Jinyi and asked: "What's wrong?"
Su Jinyi then returned her gaze back to him, reluctantly forcing out a smile, she shook her head and said: "Nothing."
Seeing her expression, it did not seem like there was anything special about her, he squinted his eyes, and did not plan on doing anything, he nodded his head and said: "You did not answer my question just now."
Only then did Su Jinyi have her suspicions, and slightly opened her mouth to ask: "What question?"
When Mike heard her confused inquiry, he had long understood what was going on, but on the surface he did not say it out, he secretly squinted his eyes, the smile on his face became even wider, and he shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask why you suddenly invited me out. It's been so long since I've contacted you, but to suddenly ask me out of the blue, I feel a little overwhelmed."
She smiled lightly and explained, "It's just that when I suddenly remember, I feel like apologizing to you for your actions earlier. After all, I'm still a bit embarrassed for not letting you go using such an excuse."
Mike laughed faintly, and did not say anything else, and continued eating, while Su Jinyi was startled for a moment, the fork in her hand also stopped moving slightly.
She looked over, the tall and big lady with delicate makeup was smiling at Gong Yutian as though she was discussing about something, and it was actually Sheng Lin.
He originally thought that it was just a coincidence, but he didn't expect that Sheng Lin would be sitting opposite to him right now. She seemed to be happily chatting with him, and naturally didn't notice the stiff expression on Su Jinyi's face.
Just what kind of relationship did Sheng Lin have with Gong Yutian, to actually be able to eat with Gong Yutian.
Right now, Gong Yutian could only be barely considered half a friend to himself, and Sheng Lin was the person he hated the most. How did the two of them get together?
"Miss Su." Mike suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a face full of smiles. Actually, he wanted to recommend the dishes in front of him to her to taste, but he saw that she was looking at him with a bland expression, and frowned slightly. He couldn't help but follow her gaze as she turned to look at the table not far away, where Sheng Lin was laughing and chatting with the man with her back to him.
However, that expression only lasted a moment, and in the next second it calmed down slightly. When he turned around again, he saw that Su Jinyi's eyes were still fixated on them, and he frowned slightly.
However, he did not know what Sheng Lin's intentions were. Frowning slightly, he only thought that Sheng Lin wanted to destroy his plans. Lowering his head, a trace of ruthlessness flashed past her eyes.
The chance that he had seized with great difficulty was naturally not something that he could run away just because of Sheng Lin.
"Miss Su?" Mike carefully asked. From the moment he saw that man, Su Jinyi had been absent-minded, all the way until the moment he saw where Sheng Lin had come from, he had placed his entire heart and soul into them. This made Mike suddenly have a bad premonition.
Seeing that he was unable to focus all of his attention on them no matter what methods he used, Mike squinted his eyes slightly. Naturally, he felt a sense of danger, and coughed lightly.
"Miss Su, what are you looking at?" Mike looked at Su Jinyi in front of her. She had long known about the matter that she was currently interested in, and upon hearing the question that came from Mike, she hurriedly came back to her senses. She looked at him and shook her head slightly.
"I'm fine." After she finished answering, her gaze landed on Gong Yutian once again, which made him extremely unhappy, and at the same time, he felt that it was Sheng Lin who had destroyed her good fortune. The instant he lowered his head, his eyes sunk slightly, and a look of patience was seen on his face.
Su Jinyi felt that intense gaze, and once again raised her head to look straight into Mike's eyes, and blinked: "What's wrong?"
"What do you think of this store?" However, Mike did not want to bring up any other topic and could only bring her attention back to him, so he could only nonchalantly chat. Looking at the delicacies in front of him, he immediately lost all interest.
Su Jinyi indifferently looked at the dishes in front of him and listened to the melodious tune played in the shop to soothe her fatigue. She nodded: "Not bad, not bad."
Mike took the chance to inquire before she left his sight: "If you like it, you can come here often next time." Su Jinyi nodded her head to show that she understood.
After that, the two of them went into silence, and Mike continued to eat the food that was a little cold.
"Miss Su, try this." Mike pointed to the dishes in front of him as if he had dug out a treasure. His eyes flickered and he pointed to the dishes in front of him.
Su Jinyi was slightly doubtful. After merely tasting a mouthful, she faintly nodded her head and gave her praise: "Not bad."
