Xu Lei and the woman opposite were both startled.
Could they be a group of second-generation rich kids?
Why were these rich kids so unfamiliar with women?
Xu Lei was nearly forty. Although she regularly got Botox and fillers, no amount of maintenance could completely hide the traces of time.
With so much money, why would they want to date a married woman much older than them? Wasn't it embarrassing?
Xu Lei couldn't help but glance over at their table from time to time, and Wen Ruxu also looked her way occasionally.
Their eyes met, and he smiled at her. Xu Lei felt a long-lost flutter in her heart and a sense of shyness.
The rest of the meal was distracted. Xu Lei thought: Since he's expressed his affection so openly, why isn't he asking for my contact information? I'm about to leave, what does this mean? Is he playing with me?
As she was thinking, Wen Ruxu called the waiter over again and whispered a few words in his ear.
The waiter quickly returned with two plates of dessert.
"Madam, the gentleman from table five ordered these desserts for you. Your bill has already been settled. We wish you a pleasant dining experience."
Xu Lei and her female colleague were completely bewildered.
What exactly was this kid up to?
However, she was a woman who had seen the world. Xu Lei couldn't be won over by a single meal.
Although she was happy inside and entertained some fantasies, she was married, and she had to be wary of tricks.
She casually ate a couple of bites of dessert, didn't thank Wen Ruxu, and left with her colleague.
Wen Ruxu watched them leave and exchanged a look with Jiang Jingyu behind him.
Jiang Jingyu gave him a thumbs-up.
It was time for the afternoon shift, and Lu Jiaying was invited to dinner again by Lu Kai.
To prevent Jiang Jingyu from saying anything more nonsense to her, she closed her computer and grabbed her bag as soon as the time came.
Jiang Jingyu knew she was going on a date with Lu Kai, but he didn't care.
He believed that their relationship would fail sooner or later, and then he seriously started texting Wen Ruxu.
He told Wen Ruxu Xu Lei's address in advance and then waited in the parking lot.
Ten minutes later, Xu Lei elegantly walked down from upstairs.
The two left the company one after another.
As they drove to the busiest part of the city center, the traffic was stop-and-go.
Xu Lei was bored, looking out the window. When she turned her head, she noticed that the car parallel to hers also had its window open, and the driver was looking at her.
Xu Lei's heart began to beat uncontrollably.
She recognized the car, an Aston Martin.
She also recognized the person inside, the gentleman from table five who had brought her food today.
What a coincidence, to run into him here again.
Seeing that she had noticed him, Wen Ruxu smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth, and waved.
This smile captivated half of Xu Lei's soul.
He was too young, too handsome.
What incredible luck she had to be fancied by such a wealthy second-generation rich kid.
The traffic ahead was completely gridlocked, with all the cars stalled.
After their greeting, Wen Ruxu directly got out of the car with his phone.
To the slight confusion of the other drivers, he walked to Xu Lei's car window and held out a QR code.
"Miss, can we add each other on WeChat?"
Xu Lei didn't expect to blush at her age and looked at Wen Ruxu in disbelief.
"Have we met somewhere before?"
Wen Ruxu smiled and said, "Right? I had that feeling too. Although we haven't actually met, I just have this feeling of a predestined connection from a past life. Let's add each other on WeChat."
Uh, Xu Lei didn't mean it that way.
She wanted to ask Wen Ruxu why he was being so attentive, wondering if they had known each other before.
But Wen Ruxu's words successfully made her stop asking.
She was shy at his directness and looked away slightly.
"It's probably not necessary. Handsome, you look too young and aren't suitable for me."
"How do you know we're not suitable without even trying? Besides, you don't look that old either, it's hard to say who's older."
After saying that, Wen Ruxu despised himself in his heart.
Wen Ruxu, oh Wen Ruxu, look at what you've become just for a college recruitment qualification!
If Jiang Jingyu heard this, he'd probably laugh his head off!
He looked at most in his early twenties, yet he claimed it was hard to say who was older.
He believed that no woman could resist such a sweet-talking approach.
Xu Lei almost couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"You're still too young and don't know how to judge a woman's age. I'm definitely older than you. Thank you for the coffee at noon. However, we're really not suitable for each other."
Wen Ruxu could see her expression and persisted.
"Unless you're married, there's nothing unsuitable. And even if you are married, so what? It's not like it can't be ended."
"Let's just add each other, I promise not to bother you, okay?"
The traffic ahead had cleared, and the drivers behind started honking their horns to urge them on.
Wen Ruxu glanced behind him. "If you don't add me now, there won't be time. You wouldn't want to see me get scolded, right? Hurry, give me some face."
"Alright," Xu Lei said. "Considering you bought me coffee and dessert at noon, I'll give you face."
She scanned his QR code, sent a friend request, and Wen Ruxu boldly took her hand, pecked it on his lips, winked at her, and returned to his car.
Before Xu Lei could recover from this series of actions, Wen Ruxu stepped on the gas pedal and sped ahead of her.
Xu Lei slowly moved forward in a state of immense surprise and amazement. In the car ahead, Wen Ruxu was frantically wiping his mouth with a tissue.
"Pah, pah, pah! The perfume is so overpowering! Such a sacrifice, I have to extort something else from Jiang Jingyu."
And so, he obtained Xu Lei's WeChat contact.
Estimating that she had arrived home, Wen Ruxu started texting her.
"Do you believe in destiny?"
Xu Lei saw this heartwarming message as soon as she entered the door, her mood soaring as if she were floating in the sky, so beautiful she could barely contain herself.
Her husband was a shareholder in a startup company and was always busy with work. She had long been accustomed to being alone in an empty house.
With the sudden appearance of such a charming young man, Xu Lei was successfully captivated.
She suppressed her desire to chat enthusiastically and replied calmly, "I don't really believe in it."
"But I do. I've seen some faces in my dreams countless times, and I never imagined I'd see them in real life. Meeting you today, I believe in destiny."
Xu Lei couldn't help but laugh, giggling on the sofa.
"Young man, I'm not an 18-year-old girl, don't try to trick me with such old-fashioned lines."
"If you were 18, we wouldn't have met today. By the way, how old are you this year?"
Xu Lei didn't answer, telling him to guess.
However, Wen Ruxu said, "It's okay if you don't answer. I don't care about age, I only believe in feelings. Would you do me the honor of coming out for a meal?"
Xu Lei was almost dizzy. This young man was so eloquent. Every word hit the right spot.
Indeed, women of any age liked to hear sweet talk.
"You talk a better game than you sing. You don't care about age? I'm really much older than you, you'll surely be scared away. How old are you this year?"
