Jiang Yao knew that if she agreed to go, Chen Xuyao would definitely look at her as if she were stupid.
As expected, once Jiang Yao said that, Chen Xuyao could not wait to get Chu Sheng out of there. He did not say anything else as he pretended to pull Chu Sheng with him. Then, he said, "It looks like Jiang Yao can't go for lunch, so I'll go with you. I don't have that many opportunities to come to Yuan city, so I want to enjoy myself."
Chen Xuyao knew that he would be rejected if he asked Chu Sheng, so he decided not to do thathe dragged her away forcefully.
After Jiang Yao returned to her room, she felt alive again. Yuan City was in the north, and she could be frozen if she were to walk outdoors. She even heard that it would snow in the next few days.
Therefore, Jiang Yao told the truth when she said that it was freezing outside and she was too lazy to go out. When she returned to her room, she immediately called room service for lunch. Just as she waited for the food to arrive, her phone in her pocket rangit was Lu Xingzhi.
Jiang Yao held a cup of hot water in one of her hands and picked up the phone in the other. She did not know where Lu Xingzhi was when he called her. She did not hear his voice when she picked up the phone; she heard the wind instead.
"Are you on a mountain?" Jiang Yao mumbled.
She did not say that loudly, so she did not know if her husband heard her. She waited a couple of seconds before Lu Xingzhi's voice finally echoed through the phone.
