Since Tang Xianlong had given the go-ahead, Ye Fan didn't hesitate, walking over and sitting down to the left of Xue Lingyu.
After Ye Fan sat down, Tang Xianlong took his place on the right side of Xue Lingyu, and everyone else followed suit, taking their seats in turn.
Since it was noon and they were in the cafeteria, there was no alcohol.
Xue Lingyu and Tang Xianlong started off with tea in place of wine and then they all began to eat.
A few bites into the meal, the atmosphere at the table started to warm up.
Though there was no alcohol, everyone seated at the table, save perhaps Ye Fan, was well-versed in the ways of dining events, and before long, all sorts of humorous anecdotes that made people want to spit out their food had been shared, including a few racy jokes that were a bit more covert.
Ye Fan paid attention to the expressions on Xue Lingyu and Xu Xiangli's faces, noticing that they weren't particularly embarrassed, just slightly more reserved with their smiles.
