Chapter 57

"Uh," Lu Xin really didn't expect someone to come and interrupt him. He was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I'm not a tycoon, but a very rustic person, so I said such a rustic line!"

As he spoke, he picked up the Orleans grilled chicken leg burger that Zhou Ya had ordered for him and started eating it with big bites.

The couple who had been teasing him saw that Lu Xin didn't intend to play along and reluctantly lowered their heads to eat their burgers and drink their cola.

However, Lu Xin didn't realize that his words were somewhat indifferent and frivolous, hurting Zhou Ya's feelings.

Zhou Ya held her Samsung phone and took dozens of photos of the platinum diamond necklace around her neck. Then she put the phone down, reached out, and took off the necklace, handing it to Lu Xin: "You're not my boyfriend yet, so I can't accept your gift!"

Lu Xin smiled slightly and pushed the necklace back into Zhou Ya's palm: "I don't have a girlfriend right now, so keeping this necklace is useless. Just wear it, and add some luster to the world!"

Zhou Ya suddenly remembered what Lu Xin had said before: "Didn't you say you bought this necklace for a female friend? You should give it to her, not me!" She thought that female friend was Jiang Xueqing, the princess of Sanjiang Group.

Lu Xin smiled slightly: "Zhou Ya, the female friend I mentioned is you. I bought this necklace specifically for you!"

He originally wanted to emphasize the second character of 'female friend' to give Zhou Ya a hint, but he thought that if Zhou Ya hadn't reached a state similar to Yao's infatuation with Wen, it wouldn't be appropriate to give such a hint. After all, women fall in love first, and then come the other things, which is the opposite of men. If he hinted at such things when Zhou Ya had just started to like him, it would definitely be a dead end.

"Ah," Zhou Ya opened her mouth in surprise: "I thought the female friend you mentioned was Jiang Xueqing!"

"She, like a swan," Lu Xin said gloomily, "I'm like a toad. She flies in the sky, and I chase on the ground. After chasing for more than four years, I finally realized that I'm really a toad, and she's truly a swan!"

Seeing Lu Xin's gloomy and sad expression, Zhou Ya suddenly felt a bit heartache. She reached out and grabbed Lu Xin's hand: "You're too self-deprecating. Although Miss Jiang is a swan, you're definitely not a toad!"

Lu Xin looked up at her in surprise: "Then what am I?"

Zhou Ya looked at Lu Xin's fair and handsome face and suddenly smiled slyly: "An ugly duckling, hehe, a duck!"

"I'm a duck," Lu Xin knew Zhou Ya was teasing him to cheer him up, so he winked at her and chuckled: "Then what are you? A bird?" He originally wanted to say 'chicken' directly but realized that the word was too stimulating for women, so he quickly broke it down.

"Another bird, chicken, you're so annoying!" Zhou Ya looked like she was about to cry and raised her hand to hit Lu Xin.

Lu Xin quickly grabbed her fair and smooth hand, holding it tightly in his palm, and looked at her seriously: "Zhou Ya, stop fooling around. Seriously, will you accept my gift or not?"

Zhou Ya pouted and said angrily: "I don't care!"

"Since you don't care, I don't see the point in keeping it!" Lu Xin grabbed the platinum diamond necklace and pretended to throw it out of the KFC.

The couple watched with anticipation, hoping that this slightly crazy tycoon would really throw the necklace. If he did, they would definitely run out to pick it up first.

The couple happily saw the platinum diamond necklace disappear from Lu Xin's hand and quickly ran out of the KFC.

They squatted at the KFC entrance and searched for a long time but found nothing.

Zhou Ya saw the platinum diamond necklace disappear from Lu Xin's hand and thought he had thrown it out. She was so angry that she poked Lu Xin's forehead with her delicate finger and scolded him: "You wasteful person! Do you think you're Hong Dali, who can waste money like that?"

She stood up and was about to run out: "I can't let those two get my things!"

Lu Xin reached out and pulled Zhou Ya into his arms, rummaged through her fake LV bag, and took out the dazzling platinum diamond necklace, waving it in front of Zhou Ya: "I don't have a big wasteful system, so I can't waste. I just know a bit of magic!"

Zhou Ya clenched her fists and pounded Lu Xin's chest: "You're so annoying! You scared me so much, I thought you really threw the necklace away!"

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't let it go. Here, let me put it on for you!" Without waiting for Zhou Ya's consent, Lu Xin put the platinum diamond necklace around Zhou Ya's fair neck.

Zhou Ya no longer mentioned returning the necklace to Lu Xin. However, she soon realized that she was sitting in Lu Xin's lap, and their behavior was too intimate, like a couple in love. It seemed a bit inappropriate. Should she get up quickly?

If Zhou Ya really loved Xie Fei, she would have stood up immediately and slapped Lu Xin. But Zhou Ya didn't truly love Xie Fei; she loved his family background. Lu Xin's behavior today and his platinum diamond necklace gave her a new perspective on him. Although she didn't fall in love with him, she developed a strong liking.

Zhou Ya deceived herself, thinking that since Lu Xin had been dumped by his ex-girlfriend Yang Xiaoli and was feeling lonely and sad, sitting in his lap was a way to comfort him as a female friend. It was very pure, so she sat in Lu Xin's lap without any intention of getting up, as if she were sitting on her boyfriend's lap.

Lu Xin didn't understand Zhou Ya's intentions and didn't think she was comforting him as a female friend. Seeing that all the other couples in the KFC were sitting properly, while they were stacked together, he felt a bit out of place. More importantly, he saw Li Xiaoming and Li Qiming walking towards the KFC, so he pushed Zhou Ya away: "You're so heavy, you should lose some weight!"

"Annoying!" Zhou Ya sat opposite Lu Xin and gave him a flirtatious look: "Where am I fat?"

Lu Xin glanced at Zhou Ya indifferently: "Big face! Thick waist! Thick legs!"

Zhou Ya laughed: "Are you looking at me with a magnifying glass? I have a small face, a slim waist, and slender legs. Hey, why don't you mention where I'm really fat?"

Lu Xin deliberately avoided looking at her most proud part and feigned disdain: "I like the figure of Zhang Zetian, the milk tea sister, so you seem too thick!"

"You hypocrite! Can't you stop lying?" Zhou Ya immediately exposed Lu Xin's lie: "The day before yesterday, you said Liu Taofu had poor taste, how could he be fooled by a flat-chested princess! And your eyes always focused on those two places when you looked at me. Do you think I didn't notice?"

(At this point in the story, some readers might wonder why so much ink is spent on a woman who has a boyfriend. Chang Huanle explains: First, Zhou Ya's background is not as simple as it seems. Second, she is not the main female lead but a character who connects the plot. Her role will be over soon. In reality, truly kind and simple women who qualify as the main female lead are rare. Most beautiful women are like Zhou Ya and Yang Xiaoli. Chang Huanle wants to write a more realistic style, which makes it difficult to create a perfect female lead.)
