Before long, a beautiful woman entered the restaurant, causing a small stir—she had a graceful figure, wore a sapphire-blue evening gown, glittering jewelry, and her alluring wavy hair cascaded down like a waterfall. She was truly stunning and eye-catching.
Qiqi recognized her at once—Wu Xianxian, the famous star.
Under the crowd's admiring gaze, Wu Xianxian glided over to Lu Wei's table and removed her black sunglasses—only a big star would still need sunglasses at night.
Qiqi saw her senior brother stand up, gallantly pull out a chair for Wu Xianxian, and the two sat down facing each other.
Qiqi felt a bit surprised, because recently the internet had been buzzing with rumors that Wu Xianxian was Zhou Yi's rumored girlfriend, and she also had a good relationship with Zhou Zhibi. So why was she now getting involved with Senior Brother Lu?
But at the last dance party, Wu Xianxian had also attended and even danced a piece with Senior Brother, stunning everyone. They were probably just close friends, right?
Senior Brother waved his hand, and Qiqi quickly stepped forward to serve. When Wu Xianxian saw Qiqi, a flicker of surprise crossed her face, but she quickly masked it.
She smiled at Qiqi with unusual warmth: "Classmate Qiqi, you're here too? Could you help us find a quieter spot? I have some things to discuss with Dr. Lu, and it's really inconvenient here."
Qiqi looked around—the restaurant's layout was actually quite spacious, and the table Senior Brother Lu had chosen was relatively quiet. But because Wu Xianxian was so dazzling, she drew attention from other guests, which made her feel the privacy wasn't enough.
Still, what did she want to do with Senior Brother that required such a private space? And "inconvenient"?
Qiqi felt suspicious but still tried her best to help them switch spots. Since Wu Xianxian was a big star, the restaurant manager gave special attention and arranged a separate private room for them.
Wu Xianxian relaxed, leaning in like a clinging bird, speaking softly and sweetly to Lu Wei. Qiqi stood nearby, observing the beauty up close, and the impact was even stronger—wow, those dreamy peach-blossom eyes, every smile and frown so captivating; her fair skin and delicate features made her both alluring and pure—but why did she look a bit familiar?
They ordered food, but Wu Xianxian paid the bill, which caught Qiqi off guard. Moreover, she gave Qiqi a very generous tip.
Lu Wei and Wu Xianxian dined for about an hour and a half. During that time, Wu Xianxian didn't want to be disturbed, so Qiqi stepped outside and only entered when they needed service.

The busy day finally ended, and the restaurant closed past midnight. Qiqi changed clothes, walked out of the restaurant, and prepared to catch the last bus home.
But as she passed the parking lot in front of the restaurant, she unexpectedly ran into Senior Brother Lu—it turned out he had been waiting for her in his car after his meal, not having left.
"Senior Brother, you haven't gone home yet?" Qiqi was surprised.
Lu Wei walked over, smiled, and asked her back, "Qiqi, are you planning to go home alone?"
He looked around, didn't see Rong Yi, and couldn't help frowning.
Qiqi also discreetly glanced around—Rong Yi had said he would pick her up after work, so why hadn't he come?
She quickly said, "My home isn't far from here."
Lu Wei nodded: "Then let me take you home. It's too late, and it's not safe for a girl like you to walk alone at night."
