Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Coincidence?

The private booth was right next to Su Lu and Gu Xin’s, with Su Lu sitting towards the inside of the booth, hidden from view of others outside, but she could see everyone else without fear of being discovered.

Thus, Su Lu had been quite curious about the commotion at the entrance and had watched attentively for quite a while.

Gu Xin chuckled, "Why do you like to watch the bustle?"

"Just taking a casual look," replied Su Lu, blinking her eyes. "It’s like watching something while eating."

She believed her voice wasn’t loud and her seat was concealed enough, which is why she watched the commotion so unabashedly.

However, she didn’t expect that among the middle-aged couple being led to the neighboring booth by the waiter, the middle-aged man with a blank expression, robotic tone, and cold eyes glanced over in Su Lu’s direction.

Even though Su Lu’s position was quite hidden and couldn’t be seen from outside,

she felt that the middle-aged man’s gaze was sharp as a hawk’s, as if it landed directly on her face and saw through her.

As a result, she quickly lowered her head and stopped watching the commotion.

The waiter had already led the middle-aged couple to the booth next to them.

There was a slight distance between the two booths; if you spoke in a lowered voice, you couldn’t hear the conversation from the neighboring booth. At least, Gu Xin and Su Lu always spoke quietly enough not to disturb others.

But the middle-aged woman in the next booth didn’t seem to have the same intention, her voice wasn’t restrained at all compared to earlier and while not loud, it wasn’t particularly quiet either.

The disdain in her tone was undisguised, "To think we couldn’t even book a private room, this place has really gone down in class, and you’re just not picky..."

Although her tone was disdainful, it wasn’t hard to hear the somewhat involuntary coquettishness in her voice when she spoke to the middle-aged man, much softer.

"I heard this is a famous spot. Old brands have their own rules; don’t be too troublesome," the middle-aged man’s voice was still robotic, sounding a bit indifferent and devoid of warmth.

The middle-aged woman immediately softened, "I know, I know. I’m just worried you’re not used to it. I’m just concerned about you..."
