Chapter 121 You Can Still Be Friends

After leaving the traffic police brigade, Lu Ran's cell phone rang. It wasn't the familiar explosive ringtone. It took her a while to realize that it was her cell phone ringing.

Hastily glanced at the caller ID, it was Lu Yuan.

She picked it up and said 'Hi', Lu Yuan asked in a cold voice, "What did Yu Shi ask you for yesterday?"

"..."

"Don't spoil her."

"I didn't tell you, she asked me out."

"How could she ask you to go to such a messy place as Bar Street?"

"..." What the hell!

"What the hell is she looking for you for?"

"She said you..." Lu Ran hesitated, wondering if he should tell the truth.

She was worried that telling the truth would affect the relationship between Lu Yuan and Li Yushi.

"What did she say about me?"

"Second brother, do you have other women outside?"

Ji Zebei frowned while listening.

"Nonsense!" Lu Yuan responded with anger.

"It's fine if you don't."

"Why do you ask that? Yu Shi told you? She suspects that I have a woman outside?"

"Well... When will your wedding be in the next year?" She deliberately changed the subject.

Lu Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he hung up the phone decisively.

Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and dragged Ji Zebei into the car.

Back at the apartment, Ji Zebei took the spare key and opened the door for her. She returned home and took a good shower, then added food and water to Rhubarb, and called Ji Fanzhai to reserve a place for the two of them.

After texting the time and place to Ji Dongyu, he didn't receive a reply from the man.

She lay down on the sofa, and Sishen called Li Yushi again and again. Li Yushi was already sober and didn't go to work because of stomach discomfort, but stayed at home to rest.

"Lu Yuan went to pick me up yesterday, and I smelled that perfume on him again." Li Yushi said with tears.

"I think you must be thinking too much. My second brother is so busy with work, it's impossible for him to have other women outside."

"Maybe I'm too sensitive." Li Yushi sniffed, then said after a moment of silence, "I want to postpone the wedding."

Lu Ran's eyes widened, a little flustered, "Don't be impulsive."

"I can't marry your second brother without clarifying the matter."

Poor Lu Yuan, the wedding will be postponed.

Lu Ran sighed, anyway, she would not believe that there were women outside Lu Yuan.

After finishing the phone call with Li Yushi, she called Da Huang, and Da Huang came running over while yelling 'meow meow'.

She turned over and lay on her stomach on the sofa. Big Huang jumped on her back and massaged her very skillfully with her fluffy little paws.

Rhubarb can eat and drink but is lazy, the only use is to help her massage and relieve some fatigue.

She fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up it was almost dark outside.

She was lazy and didn't want to move, but remembering that she would have dinner with Ji Dongyu tonight, she still got up.

After washing and dressing up, she went out with her bag and arrived at Ji Fanzhai ahead of schedule.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Ji Dongyu came.

"Waiting for a long time?" Ji Dongyu greeted her with a smile, and sat down opposite her.

"I've just arrived for a while."

She handed over the menu, and Ji Dongyu took it directly. After ordering a few dishes, his gaze fell on her. The man's gaze was hot, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She lowered her head and ordered two more dishes, and she handed the menu to the waiter beside her, "That's all."

"OK, just a second."

Not long after the waiter left, he brought a pot of tea.

She was about to pour tea for Ji Dongyu when the man took the first step.

Putting the poured tea in front of her, Ji Dongyu asked thoughtfully, "How long have you been dating Ji Zebei?"

She smiled bitterly: "We have no relationship."

Ji Dongyu's hand holding the teapot froze, and he raised his head in surprise, "No relationship?"

"not yet."

"I thought you..." Ji Dongyu paused, suddenly a little angry with himself.

Last night he foolishly sent Lu Ran to Ji Zebei!
He gave her to Ji Zebei just like that!

He should take her to the hotel, or take her home directly.

"Lawyer Ji, you are a good person. Thanks to your rescue yesterday, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Lu Ran issued a good person card, she was afraid that Ji Dongyu would think about her if he knew she was still single.

For a person as good as Ji Dongyu, she didn't want to delay him.

"Do you like Ji Zebei?" The man asked her very straightforwardly without any concealment.

"Yes." She also answered simply.

"So I have no chance at all?"

Lu Ran fell silent, and Ji Dongyu stopped talking.

The waiters served the dishes one after another.

Lu Ran saw that the dishes were almost ready, and signaled to Ji Dongyu that it was time to start.

Ji Dongyu sat without moving, looking at her solemnly.

The guests didn't move their chopsticks, so Lu Ran was really embarrassed to serve food.

"Lawyer Ji, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it's cold."

Today Ji Fanzhai was a little slow to serve food, she was hungry.

Ji Dongyu, who had been quiet for a long time, changed his heavy expression and suddenly smiled at her, saying, "We can still be friends."

From what he saw, Ji Zebei had no special feelings for Lu Ran.

When he sent Lu Ran to the door of Ji Zebei's house, Ji Zebei was extremely calm, showing no trace of worry about Lu Ran.

That man didn't know how to be sympathetic and cherish jade. He heard that Lu Ran's wine was spiked and almost had an accident, but he still had no special reaction.

He should have taken Lu Ran in for a night just out of the standpoint of a neighbor or a friend.

Poor Lu Ran, to be so indifferent to Ji Zebei's unrequited love.

Subconsciously put food in Lu Ran's bowl, he said, "Eat more."

Lu Ran was stunned.

She never expected that Ji Dongyu would say, 'We can still be friends'. In fact, it is not a bad thing to be friends with a reliable person like Ji Dongyu, but it will be a little burden on her heart.

She lowered her head to eat quietly, and Ji Dongyu would bring her food from time to time, and they were all her favorites.

Ji Dongyu obviously knows her taste very well, she guessed that Meng Yi may have revealed it to him before, and Meng Yi has always hoped that she and Ji Dongyu will have a good result.

The door of Ji Fanzhai was pushed open at this time, Lu Ran looked up, it was Ji Zebei who came.

The man saw her at a glance, but ignored her, and walked straight to the bar.

He didn't know what he had explained to the bar counter, but he quickly walked towards her, still didn't even say hello, and sat at the next table with a cold face.

Not long after, the waiter brought the packaged meals and put them in front of Ji Zebei.

Seeing the man picking up the food and leaving, she couldn't help calling him back, "Mr. Ji, why don't you stay in the shop to eat? Then I can take your car later and go back with you."

Ji Zebei looked back at her, his eyes swept over Ji Dongyu, his voice was cold and indifferent: "This is to be sent to the hospital for Xu Jiajia and Ye Zhian."
