Ying Xiaoxiao frowned. She was not used to being so close to strangers. She took a step back to expand the distance between them.
However, Ying Xiaoxiao smiled brightly and turned to Sachin. “Brother Sachin, your wife is so pretty.”
The corner of Ying Xiaoxiao’s eye twitched. She said in a slightly cold voice, “I’m not Mr. Lu’s wife.”
While saying so, she pulled Rosiley in front of her and said, “She’s the one.”
She had mistaken her for the wrong person!
Ying Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. Then, she blinked her eyes and gave Rosiley a shy smile. “sister-in-law, nice to meet you!”
She saw that Rosiley’s face looked cloudy and tried to probe carefully. “sister-in-law, are you mad at me?”
Rosiley looked at her. Initially, she had thought that Sachin’s father would set him up on a blind date with a woman around his own age, but she had not expected her to be so young.
Her small, delicate face made her look a little child-like, and her figure was also petite. She was like the girl next door.
Girl next door? Rosiley frowned. Her gaze subconsciously turned to Sachin. He was looking at her with a smile, and his dark eyes showed an obvious interest.
She raised her brow and gave Ying Xiaoxiao a warm, gentle smile. She said softly, “I’m not mad.”
When Rosiley’s expression became much gentler, Ying Xiaoxiao broke into a grin. She went up to Rosiley and wrapped an arm around hers intimately. She tilted her head and blinked her big eyes. She was trying to look as lovable and cute as she possibly could.
“sister-in-law, I’m Ying Xiaoxiao. Uncle Lu asked me to attend a blind date with Brother Sachin, but…” She scrunched her nose and said disdainfully, “Brother Sachin is not my type. Besides, he’s so much older than me, and he’s married! I’m not interested in being a mistress.”
Listening to her child-like voice, Rosiley could not help bursting into a chuckle. Her heart, which had clutched into a ball, started to relax slowly.
It seemed that the situation was not what she had imagined it.
Rosiley sat down beside Sachin.
Ying Xiaoxiao put on a pretty smile. “Brother Sachin is sitting with sister-in-law, so I shall… ”
She was about to say that she wanted to sit beside Brother Corey, but Ying Xiaoxiao was one step ahead of her and sat down beside Corey.
The smile on Ying Xiaoxiao’s face froze instantly. She frowned slightly and glared at Ying Xiaoxiao.
She wrapped her arms around Corey and leaned her head on his shoulder intimately. She put on a small smile. “I’m his girlfriend, so I’m sitting beside him. Little sister, you’ll have to sit alone.”
Corey frowned and lifted his hand, attempting to grab onto her hands wrapped around his arm. However, she beat him to it and grabbed his hand instead. Her deliberately suppressed voice rang beside his ear. “Corey, if you dare to push me away, I’ll make sure it doesn’t end well for you.”
Her tone was filled with warning.
He knew her character well enough to know that she would definitely do what she threatened.
In order to prevent giving himself too much trouble, Corey smiled apologetically at Ying Xiaoxiao, who was pouting and looking obviously upset. “Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry but you’re going to have to sit alone.”
Ying Xiaoxiao bit her lip and glanced across the table. since they were all in pairs, and she was the only single one, she could not help feeling upset.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. A bright grin re-appeared on her petite face. “It’s fine, I’ll sit on my own.”
It was a four-person table.
So, she had to get a waiter to add an additional chair and sit in the aisle.
As the fifth wheel, her new seat made her stick out like a light bulb.
The sound of the piano was still flowing quietly across the restaurant. They were surrounded by couples murmuring sweet words to each other. With the additional chair, the five-person group looked out of place in the restaurant.
The atmosphere among them quietened down and evolved into a mysterious awkwardness.
