Xu Lu Cha looked at Zhang Meng with tears glistening in his eyes, his long, dark eyelashes dotted with a few teardrops, his clear black and white eyes full of hope: "Constable Zhang, are you willing to help Lucha?" As long as she helped him create opportunities to be alone with Zhong Huo, he would definitely be able to win Zhong Huo's heart. Once Zhong Huo loved him, what would the Empress's arranged marriage matter?
"I'm sorry, Young Master Xu, I can't help," Zhang Meng replied with difficulty.
Xu Lu Cha paused, his hand hanging by his knee slowly clenching. He cried: "It's Lucha who has put Constable Zhang in a difficult position." Crystal-clear tears fell drop by drop.
Zhang Meng: "If it were any other matter, I would definitely do my best to help you, but I've always stayed out of matters of love between men and women. I'm sorry, but I can't help."
Xu Lu Cha was about to say something when Zhang Meng put the menu in front of him: "Do you want to eat anything?"
Xu Lu Cha's face stiffened. After a while, he responded dryly: "No need."
"Don't be polite. Order whatever you like."
Xu Lu Cha: "No need."
Xu Lu Cha wiped his tears and was about to speak when Zhang Meng took back the menu: "Then I'll order first. When you think of something you want to eat, just tell me."
Xu Lu Cha clenched his handkerchief and stood up: "Lucha will take his leave for a moment."
Zhang Meng nodded, and Xu Lu Cha left.
Zhang Meng ordered many desserts and some snacks. If these couldn't be finished, they could be packed to take away.
The waiter quickly brought the dishes. With a table full of food, Zhang Meng ate with great enjoyment, barely noticing when Xu Lu Cha returned.
Not long after, Zhong Huo and Zi Yi came out of the private room.
Zi Yi quietly stood behind Xu Lu Cha. Zhong Huo looked at Zhang Meng, who was eating heartily, then at Xu Lu Cha, who had been left aside, with a somewhat strange expression.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Zi Yi asked anxiously.
Xu Lu Cha's face was gloomy: "What could be wrong? Zi Yi, let me tell you, if it weren't for Zhong Huo, I wouldn't even look at someone like her once! Not even once!"
Zi Yi: "..."
Xu Lu Cha slammed the table hard, his beautiful eyes full of shame and anger: "Someone like her is truly... despicable to the extreme! She deserves to never marry a husband in her life! Zi Yi, let me tell you, someone like her will absolutely, absolutely never marry a husband!"
Zi Yi: "...Young Master, are you really alright?"
Xu Lu Cha kicked the table leg hard: "What wouldn't be alright? I'm very well!"
Zi Yi: "...Yes, Young Master."
Xu Lu Cha took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger: "How was your chess game with the master? Was it enjoyable?"
Zi Yi: "The master's mind wasn't really on the chess game. She frequently looked outside, and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Constable Zhang to me. Zi Yi doesn't understand her intentions."
Xu Lu Cha picked up his teacup and said with a cold smile: "Zi Yi, it seems we've both been used as pawns by her."
He wondered what abilities that Zhang Meng possessed to make Zhong Huo behave in such a manner.
