I'll read Chapter 314 slowly.
The red Ferrari LaFerrari drove very smoothly on the road.
About twenty minutes later.
The car stopped in front of a very upscale-looking French restaurant.
The restaurant's exterior is decorated in a very stylish way.
Two uniformed waiters were standing at the entrance. Upon seeing the red sports car, they immediately came to greet it.
Li Menghan and Li Mengli got out of the car.
They handed the car keys to the waiter to park the car.
The two of them walked into the restaurant together.
The restaurant was very quiet, with soft lighting and a faint fragrance in the air.
At that moment, a young man in a black suit stood up from one of the seats inside.
He walked towards Li Mengli and the others.
This person was Lu Wenzhou.
He was dressed very well today and looked very energetic.
Lu Wenzhou walked up to them with a gentle smile on his face.
He looked at Li Mengli and said:
"Mengli, you're here. Was there any traffic on the way?"
Li Mengli smiled and replied:
"No, the journey was smooth sailing."
She turned her head, looked at Li Menghan beside her, and introduced her to Lu Wenzhou:
"This is my younger brother, Li Menghan. You should have heard of him, right?"
Lu Wenzhou turned his gaze to Li Menghan.
He extended his right hand and said in a very polite tone:
"Hello, Li Menghan. I'm Lu Wenzhou. It's nice to meet you."
Li Menghan stood there, but he did not immediately extend his hand to shake hands with Lu Wenzhou.
He simply looked Lu Wenzhou up and down.
His eyes held a very clear scrutinizing quality.
After a while, Li Menghan slowly reached out and shook hands with Lu Wenzhou.
He shook hands with a rather strong grip, and his tone was very direct, even a bit forceful.
"Hello, Mr. Lu. I heard from my sister that you've been paying a lot of attention to her lately. You've even arranged things like going to the fashion show in Paris. You're quite efficient."
Lu Wenzhou was not angry when he heard Li Menghan's barbed words.
He just sensed a strong protective instinct emanating from the boy.
He smiled, very naturally withdrew his hand, and replied:
"Not at all. I just think Mengli has a great sense of fashion, and since I had this opportunity, I thought I'd take her to see it. It's just friends helping each other out."
Li Menghan snorted coldly:
"Friends? I don't think so."
"Young masters from billionaire families like yours are usually surrounded by countless girls. For you to suddenly be so nice to my sister, who would believe you don't have ulterior motives?"
Hearing her younger brother speak so impulsively, Li Mengli quickly tugged at Li Menghan's arm.
She lowered her voice and said:
"Menghan, keep your mouth shut. They're kindly inviting us to dinner, don't be so rude right away."
Lu Wenzhou looked at the two siblings, his smile unchanged.
He very gentlemanly gestured for him to enter.
"It's alright, Mengli. It's only natural for Menghan, as your younger brother, to care about you. Let's go sit down over there and chat while we eat."
The three of them walked together to a window seat and sat down.
The waiter quickly brought over the menu.
After ordering the food, Li Menghan had no intention of letting Lu Wenzhou off the hook.
He sat there, his eyes fixed on Lu Wenzhou, and began his interrogation.
Li Menghan asked:
"Young Master Lu, since you've invited my sister to dinner today, I won't beat around the bush."
"As I just said, young masters from families like yours must lead very extravagant lives. I bet you've had quite a few girlfriends before, haven't you? You've never lacked female company."
Li Menghan's question was very direct, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenzhou picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of water.
He looked at Li Menghan and answered very seriously:
"Meng Han, you're mistaken about that."
"Actually, I've never had a girlfriend before."
Upon hearing this answer, both Li Menghan and Li Mengli were taken aback.
Li Menghan said with a face full of disbelief:
"Who are you trying to fool? You're the young master of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, and you're not bad-looking either. You think you've never been in a relationship? Do you think this is a TV drama, some kind of innocent, lovestruck CEO?"
Lu Wenzhou gave a wry smile, put down his water glass, and explained:
"I know you might not believe it, but it's the truth."
"Our family was very strict. From childhood to adulthood, my life was completely planned out for me."
"Which school to attend, what major to study, what kind of people to meet—all of these were decided by my family."
"I spend all my time learning and handling company business every day. I simply don't have the opportunity or time to meet girls outside."
Lu Wenzhou sighed and then said:
"In this circle, many people get married for the sake of family interests. They don't care about feelings at all."
"But I don't want that. I want my feelings to stem from genuine affection for that person, not from any personal gain."
"So, I've been waiting. Waiting for a girl who can truly attract me and make me feel comfortable to appear."
Li Mengli sat beside him and listened quietly to what Lu Wenzhou had to say.
She looked at Lu Wenzhou, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She never expected that this seemingly aloof young master would have such thoughts.
Moreover, he said he had never been in a relationship before.
For some reason, Li Mengli suddenly felt a little happy.
She blurted out:
"What a coincidence, I've never had an ex-boyfriend before."
Hearing his sister's words, Li Menghan turned to look at her.
He thought to himself: "Sis, you answered way too quickly. Aren't you just giving her a chance?"
Li Menghan coughed and looked at Lu Wenzhou, saying:
"You two are quite similar in this respect."
Upon hearing Li Menghan's words, Lu Wenzhou turned to look at Li Mengli.
A very gentle and beautiful smile appeared on his face.
He looked into Li Mengli's eyes and said in a very serious and direct tone:
"Yes. That's exactly why."
"I only had the chance to meet the beautiful Miss Mengli because of this, didn't I?"
The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere at the entire dining table instantly changed.
Li Mengli's face immediately turned red.
She quickly lowered her head, picked up the water glass in front of her, and drank some water to hide her embarrassment.
Her heart was pounding, and she didn't know how to answer.
Li Menghan sat opposite Lu Wenzhou, watching his affectionate expression.
He clenched his fists under the table in anger.
He realized that Lu Wenzhou was not only rich and handsome, but also had top-notch skills in flirting with women!
He said these words so naturally, so fluently.
This is supposed to be someone who's never been in a relationship? This guy's a seasoned player!
Li Menghan looked at Lu Wenzhou and said coldly:
"Young Master Lu, what are you saying? There are plenty of people who know my sister. You don't need to try to get close to her."
Lu Wenzhou wasn't angry at Li Menghan's tense expression.
He just smiled and said:
"Menghan, I know you have some misunderstandings about me. I also know you are very protective of your sister."
"However, I hope you can give me a chance. Let me prove to you with my actions that I am sincere."
"I don't need you to believe me now. Time will tell."
At that moment, the waiter came over with the dishes.
A series of exquisite French dishes were laid out on the table.
Lu Wenzhou very gentlemanly cut the steak for Li Mengli and placed it in front of her.
"Mengli, try this. This restaurant makes really good steak."
Li Mengli blushed and whispered a thank you.
Li Menghan watched the way the two of them were interacting.
He let out a long sigh in his heart.
He knew that his trip today had been in vain.
This Lu Wenzhou, whether in his words and actions or in his attitude towards his sister.
It's truly flawless.
Even if he wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't find a way to start.
Most importantly, he could tell that his sister definitely had feelings for Lu Wenzhou.
The meal was eaten very quietly.
Li Menghan was no longer as aggressive as she had been at the beginning.
He was just thinking silently to himself:
"Fine. Since my older sister is willing, I'll observe for a while."
"If Lu Wenzhou ever dares to bully my older sister again, I will never let him get away with it."
After finishing their meal, the three of them left the restaurant.
It was completely dark outside.
The streetlights came on and shone on the road.
Lu Wenzhou looked at Li Mengli and said with a smile:
"It's getting late. Let me take you home."
Li Menghan immediately refused:
"No need. We drove here ourselves."
Lu Wenzhou nodded:
"Alright. Be careful on your journey. Mengli, see you next time."
Li Mengli waved her hand:
"goodbye."
Li Menghan led her sister toward the red Ferrari.
After the two got into the car.
Li Menghan started the car and turned to look at her sister as she drove.
He asked:
"Sis, tell me the truth. Do you really have a crush on that Lu Wenzhou?"
Li Mengli sat in the passenger seat, looking at the night view outside the window.
A slight smile was on her face.
Instead of answering directly, she asked in return:
"So what do you think of him as a person?"
Li Menghan pursed her lips:
"He's alright. At least for now, he doesn't seem to have any of those annoying bad habits. He's also quite steady in his speech and actions."
"But I'll say it again: you can never be too careful. Don't get too involved too quickly."
Li Mengli nodded:
"I know. I'll take my time and see."
