An Xiaxia hesitated, but eventually asked, "Just a businesswoman? Nothing more?"
"That's right." Sheng Yize frowned a little."What else can she be?"
The look on An Xiaxia's face went rigid for a moment before she shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
Since Lan Yu wanted to keep it from everyone, she wasn't going to be the whistleblower.
The car drove through the busy streets. Outside, neon lights flickered and stars twinkled in the night sky. An Xiaxia rolled down the window to let in some fresh air. She then saw that something was different today."This isn't our way back home, is it?"
"Heh." Sheng Yize chuckled."I didn't think you'd realize that, since you have no sense of direction at all."
"Hey... I do remember the way back home, ok?!" She had grown up in Yu City, after all.
Sheng Yize turned the steering wheel."I'm taking you to get a late night snack."
An Xiaxia was touched."How did you know I didn't eat enough at dinner?"
Sheng Yize paused a little when he heard An Xiaxia make a list as she counted on her fingers."I want skewered lamb, crayfish... Ah! And spicy hot pot, too!"
Seeing that she was practically drooling, Sheng Yize was a little uneasy.
Should he... feed this little woman before proposing to her?
After making that decision, he dialed a number and left some instructions.
An Xiaxia was still immersed in her imagination of all the food, and when the car stopped outside a majestic-looking Western-style restaurant, she was rather disappointed.
"Hm... I think I prefer Chinese food for now."
Fighting back his urge to offer a sarcastic comment, Sheng Yize cajoled her."Don't worry. I'll ask the chef to make you some crayfish."
An Xiaxia's face lit up."Can he do that?"
"Sure." How on earth would he know? Just get her inside first!
They were the only customers in the restaurant. The lights were muted, emphasizing the romantic and refined atmosphere.
A row of white candles had been lit beside the best window seats, which had been decorated with white roses flown in from abroad.
A violinist and a pianist were playing in one corner of the restaurant. It couldn't be any more beautiful.
An Xiaxia tugged at Sheng Yize's sleeve and whispered, "Is the food awful here?"
"Huh?"
"Look, there are no customers. No one's eating here, so it must be the food!" An Xiaxia made a fuss as she analyzed the situation."How about we eat somewhere else?"
Sheng Yize swore he was having a stroke. Like hell they were going somewhere else! This was the best restaurant in Yu City! He had rented the place for the night just for An Xiaxia!
"The food here is delicious. Really. I've been here before..." Sheng Yize found her such a pain in the neck.
"Alright..." An Xiaxia scratched her head and took her seat.
The waiter went up to their table politely and An Xiaxia asked expectantly, "Do you have spicy crayfish here?"
The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched."Ma'am... We have Australian lobster and lobster sashimi... but we don't have spicy crayfish here..."
An Xiaxia pursed her lips in disappointment."Sheng Yize, I..." She wanted to leave.
Before she could finish, Sheng Yize cut her off."Just serve everything I ordered earlier."
"Yes."
An Xiaxia was surprised."You ordered already?
"Yes, " Sheng Yize said with a straight face."And they're very expensive. So, you'll have to finish everything and let nothing go to waste."
That successfully convinced An Xiaxia. She nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll do my best!"
Good. She was as dumb as ever.
They ate their dinner while the piano and violin played on.
Fireworks suddenly exploded outside. The view was spectacular.
An Xiaxia looked up and her eyes flickered, as if there were flaming stars in them.
"Do you like it?" Sheng Yize asked.
