Edward told Susan that the two people who came to see him were very good friends, so she could rest assured and not be so nervous.
However, Susan would always be at a loss when she met strangers. How could she be natural this time?
In the restaurant, Susan sat straight with her hands on her legs, looking like a docile primary school student.
Edward took her hand under the table as if he was comforting her. Susan turned her head to look at him and just met his smile.
Then two men waved at Edward and came towards them.
Edward stood up and said, “This is Lan, who is now a trainee in a team in Shanghai. This is Cuss, you know him. We met when we played an offline match together.”
Cuss said first, in a low voice, “Miss Neko, is it time to call you sister-in-law now?”
Susan’s corners of mouth twitched and glanced at Edward. She found that the guy was also looking at her and laughing.
“You are the youngest here. How dare you to call her sister-in-law?” Lan rolled his eyes to Cuss. He didn’t expect his voice to be so… feminine.
“Gosh!” Cuss suddenly thought of something and excitedly went close to Susan and said, “Alas, girl, why you don’t tell us how Edward chased after you?”
“Yes, I have never seen him chase after a girl. When I heard him say so in the chat group that day, I thought I got it wrong.” Lan also said.
Susan thought for a long time and tilted her head to look at Edward, “How did you chase after me? I can’t remember…”
Did he pursue her? In fact, he just said he liked her, then she promised him immediately on the rooftop that day…
Lightweight chopsticks knocked on Susan’s head.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember.” Edward put down his chopsticks, as if he was angry.
Susan became anxious and lain on him, “Honey! I’m wrong… I’m such a person, who doesn’t have a good memory, I apologize.”
“Was it at that time?” Cuss raised his eyebrow. “That was why you brought a girl to play match game with us, because you had already wanted to pursue her.”
“Oh–” Susan nodded meaningfully, with her hands holding his waist. “Was it so early? You didn’t like me when we were in the same class in high school.”
Edward stretched out a finger, touching Susan’s eyebrows, “Earlier than that.”
What?
Before Susan responded, Edward pushed her away with his fingers pressing against her head.
He began to take her food slowly in Susan’s small bowls and said again, “If you don’t remember, it’s OK.”
Susan uttered a kitten-like whimper, and the whole body sank down. She stared at Edward with pleading eyes, and grabbed his clothes corner, “Tell me— —”
“NO.”
“Baby.”
“… NO.”
“Dear”
“…”
“Husband.”
Susan felt the tremor in Edward’s body.
He stopped and turned back to meet Susan’s big eyes.
Susan seems to be waiting for praise, but she did not expect Edward to be so surprised, unbelievable, or even somewhat moved.
The two people on the opposite side were witnessing the scene. Then someone coughed lightly. Lan cleared his chopsticks and took Cuss’s food with diligence, “We must eat fast, Dishes are almost cold. Look.”
