As soon as Jiang Mengxue arrived, she confronted Si Ye. Her complexion was poor, as if she had caught them in the act of infidelity.
Si Ye glanced at her indifferently, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
Chen Zhi looked down, her hands quietly clenching on her knees.
"Why can't I dine with her here?" Si Ye asked coldly in return.
Jiang Mengxue knew that her accusatory tone had displeased him, and she immediately put on a conciliatory smile, taking a seat beside him.
"I was just curious, that's all. After all, you've cut off all ties with her, so I thought you wouldn't have any further contact. Ye, you must have just run into her here by chance, right?"
She offered Si Ye a way out. If he just nodded, she could salvage her dignity and also prove to Chen Zhi that Si Ye cared about her more.
However, Si Ye did not give her that satisfaction. "It was I who asked her to come out for this meal."
