With a single sentence, the fate of whether the other person would stay was decided.
Yet his expression was completely normal, showing no sign of ill will or rejection.
Liu Yue's face showed a moment of strangeness.
These people, every single one of them going to enjoy good food, and they didn't even bring her along!
However, to maintain her own facade, Liu Yue still forced a smile.
"Okay, don't worry, I've got everything here covered. Go ahead and eat, no need to be concerned about the studio's affairs."
Seeing that Liu Yue didn't seem to mind, Ji Yao let out a slight sigh of relief.
After all, it was Lu Jincheng who was treating them, and it wasn't appropriate to casually bring along others.
Besides, Liu Yue was an independent entity, mere dining was something anyone could manage by themselves; if they were to bring her along every time, it would feel like charity, which she most likely wouldn't appreciate.
