His heart was filled with worry about her knowing the truth, and Leng Zimo’s tone was very urgent, which made him appear especially domineering.
Luo Xiaoqian turned her face in surprise, looking at him, somewhat baffled as to why a mere phone call could cause him to lose such a temper.
The attendant by their side also noticed that the atmosphere between the two was off, set down the dish he was carrying, and retreated after bowing.
Luo Xiaoqian settled back into her chair, "I had promised Xu Xia before, and now that I’m suddenly going back on my word, I should explain it to her. Using your phone isn’t very convenient, so I thought..."
Leng Zimo also realized his lapse in composure, "I’m sorry, I was too loud!"
"Could it be that something happened?" Luo Xiaoqian asked.
Having been with him for so long, she had come to understand his temperament quite a bit.
Although she did not know what exactly had happened, she could tell from his current demeanor that it must be a troublesome matter.
Across the table, Leng Zimo picked up his utensils, "Let’s eat."
"Sometimes it’s better to talk things out rather than keep them bottled up inside," Luo Xiaoqian said with a smile, looking at him. "Even though I may not be of much help, I can be a good listener."
"It’s really nothing!" Leng Zimo returned her a smile, "Time is running short, let’s eat."
Luo Xiaoqian looked across the table at his complexion and suddenly chuckled, "It wouldn’t have anything to do with me, would it?"
Leng Zimo’s fingers trembled slightly, his fork scraping across the plate with a grating noise.
"Does it really have something to do with me?" Luo Xiaoqian’s expression changed.
Her previous remark had been in jest, but Leng Zimo’s reaction was just too alarming.
"Luo Xiaoqian, will you ever stop?" Leng Zimo exploded, "Can’t you just let me eat in peace?"
He knew his words were hurtful, but he was out of options. This girl may seem somewhat dense, but she was actually very smart and, at times, quite stubborn. He was genuinely worried that she would guess something.
Ever since her debut, Luo Xiaoqian had always maintained a wholesome image, and the media had unanimously hailed her as a rare "positive energy idol."
