章 173: Chapter 173: Friend-zoned

"I had a great time with you, Miss Bai." Wei Fang pushed his chair back to stand up. He raised his hand for a handshake. "I hope to see you soon."

Lillie hummed, not clear if she was agreeing to his statement or not. With a single shake with his hand, she immediately let go.

Lillie turned around to leave. She didn't want to linger any longer with him.

Wei Fang stared at her retreating figure with sad, longing eyes. Suddenly, he saw her pause and glanced to his way.

Hope rose from his heart.

"Aren't you coming back with me?" She asked. Wei Fang's eyes widen.

Go back...with her?

Hearing a movement from behind, his hope was crushed into oblivion when Ethan walked pass him.

He saw him walk towards her side, then enveloped her tiny waist with his arm.

"Is there a need to ask?" Ethan replied with a smile. The two continued to walk away.

But before their figures completely disappeared from the restaurant's exit, Ethan gave Wei Fang a final side glance.
