The restaurant had changed since the couple last visited. What had been a simple seaside eatery with bamboo chairs and lanterns now stretched boldly into the waves. A deck stretched out over the tide, its tables built so low that diners could dip their feet into the water while they ate.
Mo Xia immediately abandoned them for the table with Weijun's men and Liwu's sisters. Somehow, they had formed a friendship close enough to dine out after work hours without the couple!
"How are they here?" Liwu asked Weijun, her eyes narrowing. "And how did this place change so fast?"
Weijun smiled faintly, the weight of her ultimatum still lingered in his expression. "I told Cross to make us a reservation and he invited Xixi. Xifeng is very...mmm..." he tried to figure out the best word to describe a woman with the personality of an unstoppable hurricane.
"Forceful." Liwu laughed. "Let me guess, she took over the plan and invited herself, making Xixi almost seem like the third wheel."
