"You don't seem to be my friend, and he..." As she spoke, Ran Xiangsi's gaze shifted to Feng Zilun.
She paused for a moment. After all, Feng Zilun had helped her quite a bit over the years.
During that brief pause, Xing Chen, with a dark expression, suddenly frowned and readily accepted Ding Jia's invitation, "Why not?"
... Huh?
Ran Xiangsi raised her eyebrows and looked back at Xing Chen, quickly asking, "Doesn't your family have something going on?"
In fact, Xing Chen's family had nothing going on. Ran Xiangsi said this just to find an excuse to leave quickly!
Xing Chen lowered his eyes and immediately understood Ran Xiangsi's intention, but he had no intention of doing as she wished.
He grasped her hand and settled her into a chair, "Since your 'friend' has so warmly invited, how can we just walk away?"
Whether Xing Chen did it on purpose or not, he put extra emphasis on the word 'friend'!
Ran Xiangsi was caught off guard, and her plan was thus altered by Xing Chen.
