The question was rather private, and Lin Yuan did not want too many people to know about it.
"So you treated me to dinner just to ask that?" Su Yan was speechless. After all that, she had thought Lin Yuan was going to introduce her to someone.
Instead, he was asking a question even she did not know the answer to.
