The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 874 - 889: You Think You’re an Immortal Descending to Undergo Tribulation

Since she drove here, Li Manman didn’t order red wine.

"Alright, please hold on." The waiter took the menu from Li Manman, responding politely.

Yan Xiao, sitting diagonally across at another table, turned around at the sound of her voice: "It’s really you, Sister Manman."

"Yan Xiao, you’re eating here too." Li Manman turned her head and said with a smile.

Having just finished a promotion nearby and not having eaten, Yan Xiao and his manager randomly picked a place to grab a bite.

"Sister Manman, come join us, it’s been ages since I last saw you."

Lately, Yan Xiao has been extremely busy, feeling so exhausted that he’s about to pass out, he hasn’t had time to connect with his three female friends.

Li Manman picked up her bag from the chair: "Mu Yan, let’s go over there; that’s my good friend."

"Sure."

The two of them sat at Yan Xiao’s table. After Li Manman introduced them to each other, the waiter served their food.

"What have you been up to lately? It feels like you’ve vanished off the face of the earth." Li Manman cut a small piece of steak and put it in her mouth.

Yan Xiao rolled his eyes helplessly at his manager beside him: "He scheduled a ton of promotions and endorsements for me. I’ve lost weight recently, barely holding on with some mythical energy."

The manager beside him felt quite innocent, as all those gigs were approved by Yan Xiao himself. Why was he getting blamed for no reason?

Li Manman chuckled: "Barely holding on with mythical energy, do you think you’re an immortal descending to undergo trials? How shameless."

Yan Xiao put down his knife and fork, pouring himself a glass of red wine: "I’ll take that as you admiring my looks."

Li Manman laughed twice, not wanting to humor this narcissistic guy any longer, and turned to Mu Yan: "My friend here is a bit... you know, don’t mind him."

Mu Yan lifted her head, her gaze meeting Yan Xiao’s eyes in the air. She smiled slightly: "Your friend is indeed quite good-looking, very handsome."

"Did someone hear that? Your taste really needs improving."

Yan Xiao swirled the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and his gaze unintentionally fell on Mu Yan again.

Today, she wore a black V-neck jumpsuit, her long wavy hair styled into a high ponytail, with a mauve lipstick on her lips, and a crystal necklace around her elegant neck, giving her a particularly classy look.

Under the table, the manager raised his hand and tugged at Yan Xiao’s clothes, signaling him with his eyes not to stare.

Mu Yan had already keenly sensed Yan Xiao’s gaze, but she pretended not to notice and continued eating her steak.

"Miss Mu is so beautiful, you must have a lot of admirers." Yan Xiao asked tactfully.

Li Manman put a piece of steak into her mouth, and spoke first: "Aren’t you just trying to ask if Mu Yan has a boyfriend? Why beat around the bush? She’s already taken."

"Miss Mu hasn’t even said anything."

Yan Xiao shot back immediately, wanting to kick Li Manman. Who ruins a guy friend’s chances like that?

"Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just stating the facts." Li Manman turned to Mu Yan beside her: "You do have a boyfriend, right?"

Mu Yan picked up the juice on her right and took a sip: "Let’s just hurry and eat."
