BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - How Was Your Dinner?
After dinner ended, everyone went their separate ways.
Song Xing Xing hang around the restaurant area for a while as she waited for Lu Xun to show up. After waiting for a while, the man finally came out of the restaurant. Just as she was about to rush to his side, Song Xing Xing noticed that Director An was with him as well.
Her steps halted and Song Xing Xing did not know whether she should turn and avoid them or not.
"Song Xing Xing."
The moment she heard his voice, Song Xing Xing looked up and saw that Lu Xun was waving his hand at her.
Seeing that there was no one else around other than Lu Xun and Director An, Song Xing Xing walked over to their side and greeted both of them before she shot Lu Xun a questioning gaze.
Director An saw that President Lu had called one of the staff over and thought that he had something to ask her. However, after a while, President Lu continued to chat with him with the girl by their side. Director An looked at the girl and recognized that she is one of the post-production staff.
Sensing that the director kept on glancing at her, Song Xing Xing kept her head down, not daring to meet his gaze.
After a while, Director An could not hold his curiosity and asked, "President Lu, this is…"
Lu Xun did not answer but instead, keep on looking at his girlfriend for a long time. His piercing gaze made her feel a little chaotic on the inside.
His gaze made her grew anxious and Song Xing Xing was aware that Director An was still watching them, waiting for the answer. Song Xing Xing tugged at Lu Xun's sleeve and frowned in panic. Only then did Lu Xun looked away from her.
Director An let out an anxious laugh when President Lu did not answer for a long time. He decided that this should be one of the matters that he should not poke his nose into. However, he then heard a shocking answer from President Lu.
"This is my girlfriend, Song Xing Xing."
Her heartbeat accelerated upon hearing his words. Although she always said that she wanted to let their relationship a secret, she still felt a little happy that Lu Xun had introduced her as his girlfriend.
Director An watched the girl with a shocked expression. "Your girlfriend… Isn't she…"
"Un." Lu Xun nodded. "She's one of the editors in the studio. Director An, please help me to look over her."
Director An laughed before he gave Lu Xun his promise.
"Director An, my girlfriend is a bit shy," Lu Xun said. "Please don't let anyone else know about our relationship."
"Of course. Of course."
Song Xing Xing waited for them to exchange a few more words before she left with Lu Xun. The moment she got into the vehicle, Song Xing Xing looked at Lu Xun and frowned. "What are you doing?"
"Introducing you as my girlfriend. You don't like that?" Lu Xun pursed his lips as he watched her. "I know that I have agreed to keep this a secret. But I am finally dating someone and I can't introduce her to others. It felt a little uncomfortable. I just wanted to let at least one person know that you are my girlfriend. Is that... alright?"
She saw the anxious look on his face and suddenly felt that it doesn't matter. "It's fine. Just that… it was too sudden. I was not prepared."
Moreover, she had thought that Lu Xun had wanted to introduce her to Director An because he was unhappy after he had seen her with Huo Yun Chen.
Of course, she would not know that her guess was partially right.
He could not grab her hand and introduced her as his girlfriend to Huo Yun Chen. However, Director An was different.
A warm smile curled on her lips, knowing that the girl did not blame her for it. "Next time, I will ask you before I decide on something. Don't worry. Director An would not say a word to others." He patted her head and said, "He's someone that I can trust."
"You know him well?"
"Hmm…" Lu Xun nodded. "He only agreed to work on this project once he heard that the drama will be under NEXT Bright Entertainment."
Song Xing Xing opened her mouth to ask something about his relationship with Director An. However, at this time, Lu Xun leaned forward until their face was a few inches from each other. If she moved forward a little bit, their lips would meet.
Her heartbeat accelerated and her eyes were wide as she was staring back at him. Instinctively, she leaned backward, pressing her back to the seat behind her. Song Xing Xing tried to avoid his gaze but soon, her eyes fell on his mouth.
She wondered what would it feel to kiss his lips.
Suddenly, Song Xing Xing heard a sound just beside her ear and it ended with a click. She looked up again and saw the mischievous look on his face.
"You forget to wear your seat belt." Lu Xun had retreated and started to drive and leave the car park.
It took her a while to finally calm down. Song Xing Xing glanced at Lu Xun and saw the teasing smile on his lips. She suddenly had the urge to hit him but he was still driving and it would be dangerous to do something that can cause an accident.
"How was your dinner?"
She snapped out of her thought and recalled the sour dishes served in front of her earlier. Song Xing Xing narrowed her eyes at him and spoke, "The prawn was too sour. The stir-fried vegetables were too sour."
Lu Xun started to laugh upon hearing her answer. "Really? Then, let's not go to that restaurant again."
"It was you, right? Are you that unhappy to see me around Huo Yun Chen?"
There was a long silence before he gave a short answer. "Un. A little unhappy."
Actually, even Lu Xun could not understand why would let the kitchen send sour dishes to her table. In the past, he would not do something as petty as this. Now that he thought about it, Lu Xun felt as if he was being a fool. But perhaps, dating someone younger had made him a little childish.
"Just take it that I'm a little insecure. I thought that perhaps you might be interested in someone closer to your age."
Moreover... Lu Xun had seen the way Huo Yun Chen was looking at Song Xing Xing. He could tell that the guy might be interested in his girlfriend.
"Are you still unhappy?"
"No." He was slightly unhappy, but he was not going to admit this to her. "I should learn to trust you."
Song Xing Xing smiled at his words. There's something about his word, trust, that made her feel all warm up inside.
As the vehicle stopped at the traffic light, Song Xing Xing released her seat belt briefly and pressed her lips on his jaw.. "Thank you."
