Shi Jinyang probably hasn't noticed his eyes on him . He stood up and guided Fang Chixia to his own seat . “Sit here, it's alright!”
Fang Chixia really didn't want to mix with this group of people . However, since Luo Enqi has spoken, it would be impolite to refuse .
After some second thoughts, she sat down .
From beginning to end, Luo Yibei followed her movements . His face grew even heavier .
On the large table, nobody was paying attention to him and all eyes were on Fang Chixia .
Fang Chixia wasn't familiar with any of them . After sitting down, she never said a word and just hung her head down and focused on her meal .

Shi Jinyang was very considerate mainly because he didn't want her to feel embarrassed . He'd been helping her pick up dishes, “Try this, this is unique to this hotel, not bad . ”
“Thank you . ” A grateful smile escaped the corner of her lips when she looked at him .
Luo Yibei witnessed the interaction between the two blankly and his eyes remained cool and clear .
Fang Chixia caught sight of his stare out of the corner of her eyes . The hand holding a fork stiffened, she looked up at him but soon averted her eyes .
If a little familiar with the Luo Family, one will know that the people in the family aren't actually that serious .
After the meal started, a peal of laughter between conversations would resound from time to time . Xiao Zuo was also chirping and the atmosphere was not as stiff as Fang Chixia has imagined .
Halfway through the meal, Luo Enqi suddenly inserted .
Looking at Shi Jinyang, he smiled, “Jinyang, this girl is said to be working under your command?”
“Yes, Grandpa . ” Shi Jinyang did not perceive any intent in his question and replied offhandedly .
Who knew that Luo Enqi would follow his answer immediately, “What about turning over to Grandpa?”
Shi Jinyang was unaware that Fang Chixia had met Luo Enqi ealier . The sudden proposition in front of many people in the family made him startled that he looked at Fang Chixia on the side .
The rest on the table were also taken aback and all eyes rested on her once more .
Fang Chixia has eaten well but becoming the focal point so suddenly, she felt an indigestion coming .
Putting down the knife and fork, she calmed herself down, stood up and politely interjected, “It would be an honor to be able to work with Mr . But this depends on Shi Shaoye . ”
There was nobody at the table who introduced everybody to her from the start .
Luo Enqi's identity, she only knows that he is part of the Luo Family .
Though she didn't want to get too close to any of Luo's family, she didn't refuse directly .
Her answer was well-balanced, giving Luo Enqi face and subtly throwing the topic back to Shi Jinyang . At least, it was better for him to do the rejecting instead of it coming straight from her .
How could an astute man like Shi Jinyang not read her thoughts?
Putting down the cutlery, Shi Jinyang slowly lifted his face up and looked at Luo Enqi . He said half-jokingly, “Grandpa, are you trying to poach people from me now? Grandpa, you have many talents in your hands . Chixia is a newcomer who just entered Rongxi . Leave this girl to me!”
The Shi Family and Luo Family are familar with each other . He has spoken politely but with a clear attitude .
“This little boy!” Luo Enqi was angry with him but said no more .
Fang Chixia released a sigh of relief softly . She glanced at Shi Jinyang and extended a hand to pat him under the table .
Her movements were very subtle and the table served as a cover . Who knew that Luo Yibei's gaze would brush over her in the same moment .
Then, Fang Chixia's hand froze……
