Chapter 31
The moment the two iron doors slowly opened, a gust of wind blew, lifting strands of hair beside her ears.
She raised her hand to tuck them behind her ear and glanced at the elevator. When she saw Xie Xuan’s face suddenly appear in her field of vision, she froze.
Apart from Xie Xuan, there was another person beside him.
She quickly scanned the other person.
If she remembered correctly, he was the one who had made the Americano at the bar counter that day.
Her gaze finally settled on Xie Xuan.
One inside the elevator, and the other one outside. They locked eyes for a few seconds before both of them chuckled.
Big Xie, who had used his hand to prevent the elevator doors from closing. “…”
What’s so funny?
“Xie Xuan? Looks like we’re fated.”
She didn’t say things like ‘What a coincidence’ or ‘Why are you here?’ because she found them rather overused.
“We also have good chemistry,” Xie Xuan replied with a hint of laughter in his eyes. He took a step forward, exiting the elevator and getting closer to her. “Because I was just about to say that.”
Big Xie, who had overheard their entire conversation. “…”
Didn’t you instruct Xie Second to control the elevator’s speed so he could meet this young lady?
How could this be called fate?
As they got closer, Xie Xuan tilted his head slightly and looked at Lu Haiqiao.
He noticed the pair of hair clips by her temple were worth at least two or three hundred thousand, and her entire outfit, including the dress and other accessories, must have been worth over five million.
Little Marshmallow’s financial situation didn’t seem as tight as he had heard…
Or was it because of Lu Yunge?
Xie Xuan’s eyes glittered, and he casually reached into his pocket, asking knowingly, “Are you here for the art exhibition?”
She had a guest flower wreath exclusive to the Xie Family Art Exhibition hanging on her wrist.
She raised the corners of her lips, and her beautiful eyes sparkled like stars. “Yes.”
Xie Xuan cast a cold glance in the direction of the exhibition hall and asked in a casual tone, “You came alone?”
It seemed like he asked this question every time they met.
Lu Haiqiao shook her head honestly. “I didn’t come alone this time.”
Xie Xuan responded with a nonchalant “Oh.”
He saw it, he saw both of them!
He even saw you holding his hand!
However, in the next second, she added, “I came with my cousin.”
Cousin?
That’s right. They could be either close siblings or distant relatives with the same surname!
Realizing this, a faint smile appeared on Xie Xuan’s lips, and the coldness that surrounded him gradually dissipated.
He still responded with a simple “Oh.”
But it was clear that this ‘Oh’ was more relaxed and cheerful than the previous one.
She had no idea about the subtle shifts in Xie Xuan’s psychology.
“I’m heading to the cafe on the 25th floor. Since we’ve run into each other, if you have the time, why not join me?”
Her ‘join me’ included Big Xie.
Before this, she had learned about this suspended cafe, where customers could even go behind the counter to make coffee themselves.
She liked the Americano that Big Xie prepared, and if she could take this opportunity to ask about the type of coffee beans and brewing methods, it would be perfect.
“The cafe is indeed worth a visit,” Xie Xuan maintained eye contact with her, the smile on his lips growing deeper, “but I just left there…”
In other words… he rejected her?
A momentary disappointment flashed across her face.
“Well, there’s nothing to be done. We can arrange for another time…”
