The guy’s voice was filled with impatience.
When Su Yi came out, Chu Ying had just paid the bill.
He turned around, preparing to leave, and got caught **

In the black SUV, Su Yi hugged the grey jacket with a

Su Yi looked at the lobster bigger than her face and
found her mouth watering. The two guys patted each other’s shoulder as a
farewell.
On the table the phone lit up, Chu Ying instinctively
glanced at it before realising that it was not his phone. It was only when Liu Xi stood up that he noticed Su Yi’s
