This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Xie Ming looked at Jian Yan in confusion, not knowing what to say. He suddenly asked for lunch which caught her off guard. It was their first time meeting, after her knowing that he and Xie Ming used to know each other.

" AH, lunch. So you're not here for a consultation?" she laughed awkwardly trying not to be surprised.

" Well, I am also here for consultation as well. My neck was very stiff these days and my shoulders were also hurting a bit. I wonder if I can get an acupuncture session for that.?But I am more interested in having lunch with you than the consultation session," he said, making her surprised with his frank attitude.

Xie Ming has never seen this kind of side of him, that's why she was quite bewildered. He has always been nonchalant and serious while talking to her. Him acting casually was very different and rare.?Although his face was making her remember the unfortunate memories, she was doing her best to calm her emotions and not make him uncomfortable with her overflowing disturbances.

--

After giving him a session of acupuncture according to his problems mentioned by him, he took her to a restaurant where he had already booked a table for themselves. He was planning to go out with her for a few days but today he finally got the opportunity to call her out for lunch.

Rather than getting a separate lounge room, they decided to sit on a table in the corner. She looked around and noticed that there were a few other guests only. However, she was not sure if it was safe for them to dine here since he is a celebrity. Although she is also popular and her first movie was a hit, her popularity is nothing compared to his.

" Don't worry. This place is safe.To dine here one have to get a reservation here first and only then you can dine here." he said making her raise her brows in surprise.

" You booked the table in advance? If I hadn't agreed to have lunch with you then what would have happened to the reservation?" she asked in confusion. Why did he book the table when he didn't know if she was going to accept his offer or not.

He smiled at her and said, " Well, the appointment would have gone to waste then. What's the use of coming here alone? But you accepted it, so let's not think about the negative things." he shrugged the things over, casually.

" If we look at it like this, it's our first time coming out for lunch together," he said while looking at her dreamily. He was worried when he found out that she was unconscious for so long and was admitted into the hospital.

He used to visit her at the hospital when Liwei was not there and keep asking about her condition from doctors and nurses who always look at him as if he is crazy.

" But why did you ask me out for lunch? Do you have something to talk about?" she asked, wondering if he had any reason to call her out here for lunch like this.

He clenched his fists and wanted to say that he missed her but he knows that saying this will only gonna make her uncomfortable around him. She looks already uncomfortable after knowing that they knew each other when they were young.

" Yes. Did you hear that our movie, Eternal Love has been nominated as the movie of the year for the upcoming film awards? Not only that, you have been nominated as the rising talent award for your role as the Empress."

Xie Ming was shocked upon hearing his words. Awards? She was also nominated for an award?

Her eyes lit up as she asked in excitement, " Really? The awards where people wear beautiful gowns and dresses and act like royalty?" she knows that her question was childish and stupid but she was kinda excited to attend a event like this.

There weren't many chances for her to attend many events and there are many things that she was yet to experience. However, she was also worried about the curse since nothing is not definite yet.

She has always seen the awards on TV and was fascinated by how people dress up. Some wear revealing dresses, while some just go for a casual look yet looking beautiful and elegant. She always looks at them through the TV so it was quite overwhelming for her to know that she got nominated for an award herself.

She was saddened that her career as an actress ended before it could start properly but the award gonna be a happy memory for her.

Liwei stepped inside the restaurant while Gu Shao followed him. The meeting that they had at the nearby hotel ended early since the client has to catch a flight. They didn't get to stay for lunch so they decided to stop by here for lunch.

Although they are supposed to have make a reservation first but since the place was owned by Bai Ju, Liwei doesn't need to make any reservations to eat here.

" Sir, do you want to dine in a separate lounge?" Gu Shao asked but Liwei was looking into the other direction intently.

Liwei frowned when he spotted Xie Ming who was sitting on a corner table and was smiling happily while looking at the man whose back was facing him. He couldn't see the man's face but his back seemed familiar to him, making him anxious.

" Our table is there. " Liwei said indifferently while looking in the same direction.

"Table? Which table-

Gu Shao's mouth was left open when Liwei walked towards someone's table. He also noticed Xie Ming sitting with someone else.

-

Xie Ming who was talking to Jian Yan about the awards, saw Liwei walking towards their table which surprised her." What are you doing here?"

He smiled stiffly and glanced at Jian Yan whose expressions turned stiff seeing him. He sat beside her, not looking at the man in front of him and said, " I was nearby for a meeting and decided to stop for lunch here when I saw you . Mr. Jian, you won't mind joining you guys, right?"

Jian Yan could only smile stiffly when he asked that.

Jian Yan stared at Liwei who was intruding with his lunch with Xu Nuan. He was finally having some separate time with her and yet he came to interrupt them.

" But how come you guys are here? I was surprised when I saw you here." Liwei asked while taking a sip of water from Xie Ming's glass while looking at Jian Yan provocatively.

She looked at Liwei and responded, " Ah, Brother Jian Yan came to the hospital for a session and asked for lunch. I was done with my shift so I agreed. But I wasn't expecting you to see it here." she exclaimed in surprise.

" Me too!" Jian Yan said while staring at Liwei with his darkened expressions.
