Chapter 21: Don\'t forget to add me as a friend

Lu Haiqiao was about to leave with the paper bag filled with coffee when she heard Xie Xuan\'s voice. "It\'s not \'thanks\', it\'s Xie Xuan."

She froze in her tracks and turned her head to look at him.

Xie Xuan had a faint smile at the corner of his lips, his right elbow propped on the counter, and shrugged his shoulders. "You asked for my WeChat without asking for my name?"

Lu Haiqiao pursed her lips and embarrassment flashed across her eyes.

Not that she didn\'t know, but she forgot.

Staring at his devilishly handsome face all this time, she forgot to ask for his name.

Well... it\'s a bit awkward.

Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows. "So, I took the initiative to tell you."

"Lu Haiqiao, my name is Xie Xuan, \'Xuan\' as in fantasy."

At that moment, Lu Haiqiao\'s heart tightened inexplicably. She controlled her emotions and met Xie Xuan\'s gaze. "I understand, Xie Xuan."

Just then, her phone rang.

At the same time, Big Xie, who was at the counter, suddenly exclaimed, "Boss..."

He had only said one word when he felt Xie Xuan\'s cold gaze.

Big Xie gulped and forced himself to change his words. "Xie..."

He had used up all the courage he had in his life to shout those two words.

But he had just received an important message that he couldn\'t afford not to report.

Xie Xuan: "What\'s the matter?"

An unreadable emotion flickered in his exquisite eyes.

It seemed like he was unhappy with an unexpected interruption.

Big Xie: "..."

So, should he say there\'s something or nothing now?

As he stared at Lu Haiqiao for a moment, he noticed that Xie Xuan\'s displeasure was growing stronger. He hastily withdrew his gaze.

"No, nothing... I was just shouting."

Damn, he\'d never been so nervous, not even when he had a gun to the back of his head.

Lu Haiqiao glanced at her phone screen and then put her phone away.

Guessing that she was about to leave, Xie Xuan turned his head and said leisurely, "Welcome back anytime."

Then, he leaned forward, his voice lowered to a level that only the two of them could hear, "Don\'t forget to add me as a friend."

Lu Haiqiao shook the paper bag in her hand and smiled without saying anything.

After she left, Xie Xuan resumed his lazy posture, leaning against the bar counter, and simply said, "Speak."

Big Xie approached him and whispered, "Boss, there\'s an art exhibition at the Double X Art Center the day after tomorrow at 10 a.m. Besides featuring master-level artworks, it will also exhibit \'Spring River.\'"

\'Spring River\'?

Xie Xuan squinted his eyes. "Who\'s the organizer?"

Big Xie: "It\'s Mrs. Zheng."

Mrs. Zheng, whose real name was Xie Shengnan, was Xie Xuan\'s father, Xie Wensheng\'s sister. According to seniority, Xie Xuan should address her as \'Eldest Aunt\'.

Although she got married early, she had a stroke of bad luck.

Her husband passed away in their fifth year of marriage.

Apart from leaving behind a seemingly insignificant inheritance in the eyes of the Xie family, she had one son and one daughter.

Her eldest son, Zheng Shaohua, and her younger daughter, Zheng Shuangshuang.

Xie Xuan furrowed his brow. "Her?"

Big Xie: "Yes, and not only Mrs. Zheng but Miss Xie will also attend."

Miss Xie referred to Xie Yanan, Xie Wensheng\'s younger sister, who was unmarried. To avoid confusion, she was referred to as \'Miss Xie\'.

Xie Xuan remained silent for a few seconds before nodding slightly. "I understand."

Big Xie observed his expression. "So, should we..."

Xie Xuan picked up the Rubik\'s Cube he had placed on the bar counter earlier.

With a slight \'click\', his alluring eyes flashed with amusement. "Since she\'s involved, let\'s go take a look. It\'s quite boring to hole up in this cafe all day.
