In the elegant environment of the Italian Restaurant, Lu Zuo specifically chose a spot further inside.
"I originally wanted to reserve a private room, but this restaurant doesn't have any, and I really wanted you to try the chef's skills." He looked around and said to Karen, "But this spot is quite nice too, very few people pass by."
"It doesn't matter, we're not having a secret affair, no need to hide."
"That's true." Lu Zuo laughed, "Even as friends, occasionally having a meal together is quite normal."
"Of course."
The thoughts in both their hearts coincided. After the previous events, Lu Zuo didn't want to give up the chance to pursue and hoped to continue being friends with Karen. Based on his previous observations, he believed she still liked him a lot, and her refusal was just instinctive, which wouldn't last long. Karen simply wanted to go against her family's wishes by remaining friends with him, which was enough to make them uncomfortable for a while.
