Chapter 1453: Chapter 1467: Is This a Magic Trick?

Charity dinners are all self-service dinners, with a feast of wines and delicacies.

But tonight, things are happening one after another, and Xiao Xiao is not here. She truly has no mood to enjoy the food alone.

Next to the banquet hall is a small multifunctional restaurant, not open to the people at the venue. As the eldest son of the Lu Family, Lu Yi naturally has the right to use this small restaurant.

An Ran took a seat, and shortly after, a waiter brought over two exquisite steaks, a glass of red wine, and a drink.

"If there’s anything else you want to eat, feel free to let the waiter know. Although this is a hotel, the chefs here are definitely not inferior to Shengbaiwei’s," Lu Yi said gently while cutting the steak.

"Do you mean I can order a table full of sweet and sour pork, char siu rice, or braised pig trotters, spicy crayfish?"

An Ran joked with a smile. She knows Shengbaiwei is all about authentic Chinese cuisine, while this hotel, including the food in the banquet hall earlier, mostly offers Western cuisine.

Lu Yi handed the steak he had just cut to An Ran, swapping her uneaten steak to his position. After completing this, he calmly raised his head, still with a gentle smile, "If you wish, why not? Want to order some?"

An Ran was dazzled by his smile, covered her eyes with her hand, and teased, "Lu Yi, do you know that your smile easily leads people to commit crimes? All right, I’m just joking."

An Ran lowered her hand, picked up a piece of steak and put it in her mouth, suddenly feeling something was off across from her. She looked up to see that another person had unknowingly appeared in the seat opposite her.

Sun Wangbei had already taken over Lu Yi’s previous position, sitting across from her, facing her directly, while Lu Yi was squeezed to a position on the side.

An Ran chewed mechanically, her mind unable to quite process the situation.

Is this some magic trick? She just covered her eyes for less than a minute, and Sun Wangbei appeared?

But appearing is one thing, what’s with Sun Wangbei’s expression?

She has seen Sun Wangbei either cavalier or with a mischievous grin, but never with this constipated expression.

Oh well, even if he were constipated, he wouldn’t let her see it.

"Young Master Sun, are you here to eat too?" An Ran, feeling a bit uneasy under Sun Wangbei’s gaze, reached out her little paw to greet him.

"Mm, little sister-in-law wouldn’t mind me coming, right?" Sun Wangbei waved to the waiter for a steak.

"Why would I mind you coming?" An Ran was perplexed by his question.

"That’s good, then I’ll join little sister-in-law for a meal."

Seeing An Ran’s bewildered look, Sun Wangbei felt a bit better.

He had just sent someone to settle that matter, and passing by the restaurant, he heard familiar laughter inside. Then he saw a man sitting opposite An Ran.

He didn’t know the man, but judging by his well-dressed appearance and refined demeanor, it was obvious he was raised in a prominent family. And seeing the tender look in his eyes towards the little sister-in-law, alarms started ringing in Sun Wangbei’s mind.

He remembers Second Brother saying when he first got together with little sister-in-law that she disliked his older age. And this man opposite little sister-in-law looks to be in his early twenties, young and handsome.

Then there’s little sister-in-law, smiling at him so happily.

As brothers closer than blood, Sun Wangbei absolutely won’t allow little sister-in-law to do such things like cheating on Second Brother who’s far away in Imperial City.
