Chapter 512 In His Heart Lived a Person
Lyra smiled awkwardly and explained, “My aunt just came back from abroad. She doesn’t know much about Cloud Town. Sometimes, her style of speaking and doing things might also…” Xuanze did not interrupt her. He just looked at her quietly and listened to what she said.
“So, don’t take it to heart. This time, let me treat you.” After Lyra finished speaking, she looked at him with expectant eyes. The man received her gaze but did not respond. Instead, he introduced himself, “The afternoon tea in this restaurant is pretty good. Unfortunately, it is not available at this time.” Seeing that he had changed the topic, Lyra thought that her words had worked and took a small sip of the milk. Suddenly, he spoke again. “In fact, we talked about this before, but you gave me a very decisive answer at that time.” When Xuanze mentioned this matter, his eyes were particularly serious.
Because what Lyra said at that time was a deep impression to him.
He said, “I have not yet walked out of the shadow of that marriage. Aren’t you the same? It’s a harm to everyone when you have someone living in your heart and then go meet and eat with another person.”
Xuanze leaned forward and his face became serious. “After I think about it carefully, I think you are right.” He clasped his hands together and slowly and seriously said, “But a lifetime is so long. From now on, it is not impossible to take the first step slowly.” After he finished speaking, he was also a little nervous. “If you refuse me without giving me a chance, it will be unfair to you and me, right?” Every word that the man in front of her said fell into Lyra’s heart. She somewhat understood the reason why her aunt asked her to meet Xuanze. Regardless of whether they would interact further in the future, at least during this process, she saw how the other injured person healed his wounds. People always had to look forward. Escaping was not the only way. “What time will the afternoon tea start?” Lyra turned her head and looked in the direction of the front desk. “Four o’clock. There is still some time until now. There is an art gallery upstairs. Miss
Jones, are you interested?” He took out two tickets from his pocket. Lyra was stunned for a moment, then joked, “If I refuse you, or if I didn’t come to the appointment today, what are you going to do with these two tickets?” “I never thought about this problem.” “Maybe in some ways, I am the same as Mr. Barnwell. I don’t like to think about losing first.” Xuanze stood up and looked at her, not avoiding mentioning Hank, “Maybe in some ways, I don’t like to think about the word ‘lose’ first.”
When Hank arrived, Rae was the only one left drinking coffee in the coffee shop. There were also several exquisite snacks in front of her. She wore Bluetooth earpieces and looked like a little girl as she watched her idol’s concert
Hank took a deep breath and was mentally prepared to be scolded. She walked over and said, “Auntie, Lyra…” “Who is your auntie?” Rae was very unhappy. She raised her head and frowned. “Are you related to me by blood?” “… No.” “Auntie, I want to ask where Lyra is.” Hank’s eyebrows twitched. He slowed down his tone and spoke again.
“I don’t know.” Rae spread her hands. “I’m not her nanny, how would I know? Besides, you can find me here, but you can’t find where she is now?” At that moment, Hank felt that the elder in front of him was really too difficult to deal with.
He had made it clear, but she just beat around the bush. Someone around had already noticed their conversation, so Hank had to take a chair out first and sit down. He said patiently, “Previously, Lyra handed over the management rights of the company to Lubi Group. Now, there is a little problem with the handover process.”
“Oh.”
