"Were you waiting for me?" Qi Yongrui asked with a hint of giddiness in his tone. He raised his head and glanced at Luo Huian before saying to her, "I wanted to come earlier, but something held me back." He indeed wanted to come right away when he received the message from Luo Huian, but he was in a meeting.
Even though Qi Yongrui had given up on the Qi family, he still had some of his own businesses that he opened under the nose of the Qi family without letting them find out. Thus, now that he had stopped paying attention to the Qi family, he wanted to work hard on his own company, which was why he had taken on some new projects.
In the past, these projects didn't seem as troublesome, but now that these projects were coming in between his and Luo Huian's dates, he was finding them annoying.
"Couldn't you have told us that you wanted to invite Yongrui to lunch?" Long Zhong asked with a frown on his face. He didn't read the atmosphere carefully and ended up ruining it.
