Chapter 1351

Therefore, Ximen Wudi decided to accompany Lu Si back to the Luojia Crown Group headquarters and keep watch in Lu Si’s room.

Of course, there was another purpose for doing this… Ximen Wudi had selfish motives.

That was… he still wanted to take this opportunity to see that girl named Aikesilinda again.

“A man like you is really annoying,” Lu Si said groggily in the car, then turned over, facing away from Ximen Wudi, and fell asleep.

…………

Luojia Crown Group President’s Office.

Aikesilinda, wearing a white dress, sat on the sofa, watching the news report on TV, her brows furrowed, her expression gloomy.

“Boss, Miss Lu Si has arrived at the Bazhaer Ethnic Autonomous Region and is heading towards us,” the secretary said upon entering to report.

“I’ve already received the news.” Aikesilinda checked her watch and frowned: “According to the plan, we are supposed to depart at five o’clock tomorrow morning, but it’s only four o’clock now.”

She didn’t stand up from the chair but instead leaned back into the comfortable, soft sofa, rubbed her forehead, and said: “Do we still have to continue pretending not to know Lu Si?”

“We cannot expose our identities,” the secretary said: “Otherwise, it will bring great trouble to the headquarters. After all, Lu Si is just an ordinary employee, but she represents the face of the entire Atlantis.”

“Fine, then I will continue to pretend to be a stranger.” Aikesilinda shook her head and then said: “You help me keep an eye on her; I’m going to rest for a while.”

“Boss, you’ve been too tired these past few days. Do you need me to make you a cup of coffee to relieve your fatigue?” the secretary said with concern.

“No need, don’t worry about me, you go do your work.” Aikesilinda waved her hand.

“Alright, Boss.” Seeing Aikesilinda close her eyes, the secretary turned and left.

Although she agreed verbally, she was actually dissatisfied in her heart.

“Hmph, I don’t believe there’s anyone in this world who can steal the spotlight from my boss!” the secretary said indignantly.

…………

Two hours later, Ximen Wudi’s Audi A6 drove to the airport.

He parked the car on the side of the road and checked his watch; there were twenty minutes left until boarding time.

Ximen Wudi was just about to get out of the car when he saw the passenger door open, and Lu Si leaned out.

“Lu Si, you’re awake,” Ximen Wudi asked.

“Hmm, you should get in the car too. My legs and feet aren’t agile, so I’m afraid I can’t accompany you on foot,” Lu Si said, pulling Ximen Wudi’s arm and climbing into the car.

Inside the car, Ximen Wudi saw that Lu Si had changed into a simple T-shirt and jeans, which actually fit Lu Si’s usual attire quite well; this could be considered a rare occurrence.

Actually, Lu Si wanted to wear a dress; after all, she liked wearing dresses usually, but considering Ximen Wudi definitely wouldn’t like it, she had to hold back.

“I don’t need you to see me off, you go back, don’t delay your time. The place we agreed on is the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel; I’ll go there first,” Lu Si said.

This girl seemed very understanding.

“Alright, we’ll meet at the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel,” Ximen Wudi said.

“Alrighty.” Lu Si waved at Ximen Wudi and then pushed the door open and got out of the car.

He watched Lu Si’s pretty figure gradually move away outside the car window.

However, because Lu Si was dressed quite simply, Ximen Wudi didn’t see her towering chest.

If he had seen it, he probably wouldn’t have been able to control himself again.

“Why do I feel like this girl Lu Si is a bit abnormal? She wasn’t like this before.”

Ximen Wudi scratched his head and then laughed at himself: “Is this the magic of love?”

This guy was really a bit unsettled, but he didn’t have much guilt in his heart.

In Ximen Wudi’s heart, saving Lu Si was entirely out of responsibility; there was absolutely no other emotion involved.

…………

When Ximen Wudi arrived at the hotel, he found Lu Si already sitting at the table drinking water.

This girl was wearing a beige shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, revealing her fair and slender wrists. Her neck was snow-white, her skin was fairer than snow, and she was very beautiful.

“Lu Si, are you okay? I can go now,” Ximen Wudi said.

However, at this moment, Lu Si’s phone suddenly rang.

Ximen Wudi took a look at the screen and found it was the number named “Hathaway.”

“Hello? My dear Lu Si, have you arrived?” Hathaway asked. Her voice contained deep excitement, as if such a voice could provide her with a strong sense of security.

“Hmm, we are eating right now. How about you? Where are you?”

Lu Si didn’t know that Ximen Wudi and Hathaway were in the hotel’s presidential suite; she still thought the other party was staying in the village near Port Bartomeu.

Hearing this, Hathaway smiled and said: “What are you all eating? I’m so hungry right now.”

Lu Si said: “We are eating hot pot; the taste is great. Don’t you want to try it?”

“I want to try it, but I have some things to handle here. I’m afraid I have to postpone going to Ninghai for a while. Please tell Mother Lu for me that I’m too busy recently and might not be able to go home for dinner during the New Year,” Hathaway said.

This conversation made Ximen Wudi feel inexplicable.

“Alright, Hathaway, I’ve noted it. I will definitely pass it on to Mother Lu for you,” Lu Si said, then looked at Ximen Wudi: “Ximen Wudi, shall we go eat something?”

Ximen Wudi nodded. Seeing Lu Si so proactive, he was happy to cooperate: “That’s fine, anyway, I’m here in Los Angeles for tourism, so I’ll just take it as relaxing.”

Lu Si’s lips curled up, and she smiled like a flower.

Then, the girl said: “I’ve booked a spot. Let’s go to the Arc de Triomphe Restaurant. The environment of this restaurant is very good, and I’ve also met a few friends here; I’ll introduce them to you.”

“Arc de Triomphe Restaurant? Good name, I’ve never been there before,” Ximen Wudi grinned.

While speaking, he had even taken out his wallet, ready to pay.

This guy was indeed a bit straightforward, but he also had a humorous quality.

“No need to pay, it’s free, my treat,” Lu Si said with a smile.

“How can that be.”

Ximen Wudi wanted to refuse, but seeing Lu Si’s expectant gaze, he said: “Then thank you. Once I get my graduation certificate, I’ll treat you to a big meal.”

“Graduation certificate?” Lu Si blinked, “Are you still in school?”

“Yeah.” Ximen Wudi coughed twice: “Look, do I look like a graduate student?”

This was quite shameless.

“Haha.”

Hearing this, Lu Si couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh: “Although my Chinese language level is very high, it hasn’t reached the standard sentence and Pinyin combination level, so in many places, I don’t really understand what you mean.”

“I might not be able to take you back to the country this time,” Ximen Wudi said: “I haven’t found a suitable translator yet.”

“It’s okay, I can find a translator here. Once I find a suitable one, I’ll go back to the country with you,” Lu Si said: “I haven’t had enough fun yet.”

This girl was truly too naive.

She had no idea what she was about to face.

“My girl, do you know that doing this is very dangerous?” Ximen Wudi said: “I was just joking earlier, please don’t take it to heart!”

Actually, this couldn’t be blamed on him; Lu Si’s appearance and figure were simply too perfect. If he let such a girl stay abroad, Ximen Wudi felt like he was letting down his ancestors… no, he felt like he was letting down himself.

“I didn’t take it to heart. I know you’re concerned about me,” Lu Si smiled, her pretty face full of radiant expression, seemingly not worried at all about what might happen in the future: “Let’s go, my friend.”

Ximen Wudi sighed and shook his head. No matter what, he had finally encountered the first little interlude in his life tonight, which could be considered somewhat fulfilling.

“Hmm, let’s go buy clothes first.” Ximen Wudi reached out and hailed a taxi: “By the way, where are we going shopping?”

“To the department store.” Lu Si looked at the scenery around her, joy surging in her eyes. Clearly, she rarely left China, and now, experiencing the exotic customs, she had a novel experience.

“Alright.”

Thus, the taxi drove towards the department store not far from the hotel.

…………

Arc de Triomphe Restaurant, located in the eastern part of the Manchester city area.

This was a five-star luxury restaurant with elegant decoration and a reasonable layout.

Each table cost ten yuan, which was expensive because the ingredients here were top-notch, so the price became the norm.

Lu Si, arm-in-arm with Ximen Wudi, arrived at this restaurant and then smiled sweetly at the receptionist: “Could you please help introduce my friend?”

“Hello, there is a private room on the second floor that is vacant,” the receptionist said.

“Alright, thank you.”
