Chapter 47: The Eight Trigrams

  The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, but Nie Zhiyan felt a bit uneasy. To her right was Lu Yiheng, and to her left was Xiao Nan, making her feel like an awkward sandwich cookie, with her heart silently feeling stifled.

  She began to regret being cheated by Lu Yiheng.

  The waiter served dishes quickly, and Nie Zhiyan's gloom was soon swept away by the exquisite cuisine. Authentic Beijing dishes, Zhiyan loved Peking roast duck the most.

  She lowered her head and struggled with the roasted duck, trying to ignore the strong aura pressure on both sides.

  Zhang Mei thought of a small episode when they were playing cards earlier and smiled, asking: "Zhīyán, you've been abroad for six years, when did you come back?"

  Nie Ziyu took a sip of his drink and said, "A few months ago."

  As soon as she finished speaking, the dinner table fell silent, with everyone staring at her and Lu Yiheng in shock. Even Nie Miss couldn't pretend to be invisible anymore.

  "What's wrong?" she asked, really couldn't understand why this group of people were staring at her with a weird look, having been abroad for six years was nothing to be proud of?

  Xiao Nan looked at Lu Yiheng's indifferent expression and couldn't help but ask: "Have you two been in touch all along?"

  It took her a while to react, realizing that "you" referred to her and Lu Yiheng. She bit the smooth chopsticks and muttered: "No, we lost contact for seven years."

  Seven years? ? ?

  So, Lu Yiheng waited for her alone for seven years? Hopelessly waiting?

  Everyone was shocked and had a duck egg stuffed expression, Nie Zhiyan felt even more inexplicable.

  She deeply felt that her thinking was not on the same wavelength as this group of lawyers, and the lawyer's brain circuitry was really not something ordinary people could understand.

  Just like Lu Yiheng, Nie Ziyu completely stuffed his brain with something different.

  The waiter came in to serve the dishes, breaking the strange atmosphere just in time. Nie Zhiyan stood up to let him pass, but perhaps her movement was too sudden, and the waiter stood too close, unable to dodge in time. As a result, the plate of lobster was knocked over, with several of them hanging from Zhiyan's clothes, and the plate shattered into pieces.

  They were all startled. Lu Yiheng reacted quickly and immediately stood up to check Nie Zhiyan, throwing away the things on her body. "Are you hurt?"

  She shook her head, and the waiter apologized incessantly on one side, while Nie Zhiyan smiled reassuringly at her.

  Xiao Nan handed her a few paper towels, and after she thanked him, she squatted down to pick up the debris on the floor. Before Lu Yiheng could pull her up, her hand was scratched.

  Lu Yiheng was almost immediately furious.

  He swiftly picked up Nie Zhiyan and said in a low, angry tone: "Who told you to intervene?" He bowed his head and sucked on her cut finger. The whole room fell silent.

  Five years in college, everyone knew that Lu Yiheng had someone in his heart, but no one expected it to be this serious.

  Xiao Nan turned her face away, avoiding that scene, and felt like there were rocks pressing down on her heart.

  Lu Yiheng, he, liked a person, unexpectedly was this kind of.

  At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had cut off her feelings for Lu Yiheng early on, otherwise it would have been very painful.

  Nie Zhiyan was startled by Lu Yiheng's actions and didn't withdraw her hand until the cleaning staff came in with their equipment.

  "I'm going to the restroom," she hastily retreated.

  Lu Yiheng's face turned extremely ugly, leaving behind a sentence "I'll go to the underground shopping mall" and walked away expressionlessly.

  Two gods walked away, and everyone in the house suddenly seemed to have been released from their sentence, bursting into a frenzy.

  I'm guilty!
