Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Xiao Bailu squinted her eyes: ”What’s so special about meeting for dinner? The dog man even wants something indescribable with me...”

Huo Tingzun finally couldn’t bear it any longer: ”Shut up.”

Xiao Bailu was dismissive.

You did this, and you won’t let anyone talk about it?

Having a girlfriend and still kissing me in the countryside, scumbag, you don’t deserve any face.

Wu Feifei was so frightened by Huo Tingzun’s sudden anger that she stayed silent for a while before whispering to Xiao Bailu: ”Tingzun is quite upright and can’t bear to hear such jokes. Miss Xiao, please don’t mind.”

Xiao Bailu rolled her eyes: ”Whatever.”

The Golden Diamond Corridor arrived soon.

She directly opened the car door and got out.

Huo Tingzun actually invited both her and Wu Feifei along with business partners for dinner. What kind of dog man’s dinner is this going to be?

The thought of watching the dog man skitter between new and old flames, being scummy again, fueled her persistence in coming here.

However.

To her surprise.

Huo Tingzun and Wu Feifei took the elevator to the 7th floor and got out.

Wu Feifei: ”Miss Xiao, take care, our reserved restaurant is on the 7th floor.”

She knew there was a particularly expensive Italian place on the 7th floor.

But Huo Tingzun always preferred French cuisine, the more expensive one upstairs on the 8th floor that requires reservations.

Today, he booked the French restaurant on the 8th floor for her.

He plans to separate the occasions and attend both? What a move.

Xiao Bailu sneered: ”Boss, boss’s wife, enjoy your meal.”

After the elevator doors closed, the cold gaze Huo Tingzun shot back still feels lingering in the elevator.

Xiao Bailu sneered: ”Dog man, you’re the one doing shady moves, why look at me like I’m the one who’s wrong?”

”Ding-dong——!”

The 8th floor arrived.

The young waitress at the elevator greeted her respectfully: ”Miss Xiao. Mr. Huo has been waiting for you for a while, and he even brought you flowers. He’s such a gentleman.”

”Oh.” She replied casually, stepping towards the familiar French restaurant.

Isn’t a man waiting for a woman what’s supposed to happen?

Isn’t giving flowers also a conventional gesture?

These thoughts just passed by when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

No, hold on.

”Who did you say is waiting for me?”

Her neck stiffened as she slowly turned towards the waitress.

The girl smiled: ”It’s Mr. Huo who invited you to dinner. He’s really impressive. It’s our restaurant’s rule to book a month in advance. But when he said he’d come today, our boss canceled a major client’s reservation to fit him in. He really values you.”

Anyone who can easily book such a high-class restaurant isn’t a typical bigshot.

However.

Xiao Bailu listens without any sign of joy or shy excitement on her face.

Her expression became increasingly stiff.

Huo Tingzun just went to the 7th floor with Wu Feifei from the elevator.

How could he be waiting for her for a long time at the restaurant on the 8th floor?

So, who is the ”Mr. Huo” consistently contacting her on WeChat?

＝＝

Xiao Bailu stood at the entrance of the restaurant’s private room.

She sent off the waitress and peered through the door gap at the ”man” waiting inside.

The man was wearing a baseball cap and a black trench coat, extremely lean.

If not looking at the face, he indeed seemed like a professional hacker, male.

However.

With no one else inside, the ”man” removed the baseball cap and flipped through a menu, every page displaying expensive dishes.

A beautiful face unfurled before Xiao Bailu, rather like an attractive woman than a man.

Moreover, it was someone she knew, an attractive woman.

”Miss Qingxin... you are too playful.”

Xiao Bailu murmured, closing her eyes, her feelings now surpassing mere shock.

She stood quietly at the door for quite a few seconds.

Then slowly turned away and left.

She messaged Qin Xin: ”Thanks for helping me design the system. I’ve sent the payment; no need to meet for dinner. It was me being stubborn insisting on meeting before, won’t happen anymore.”

”Also, may I suggest? The name Huo Tingzun sounds really uncool, consider changing it.”
