Chapter 101: Look At Them Once
Translator: _Min_
The next day, when Gu Dai woke up and walked down the staircase, she saw that the living room carpet had already been replaced.
For a moment, Gu Dai was slightly taken aback. She indeed had intentions of changing the carpet, especially after it had been stained by Su He, which made her feel disdainful. However, she clearly remembered that she hadn’t arranged for anyone to change it. Could it be that she had sleepwalked and arranged for it during the night?
Meng Zhi happened to walk in from outside the villa, and seeing Gu Dai awake, he smiled and said, “Daidai, you’re awake. Come take a look at the new carpet I had someone replace. If you don’t like it, we can change it again. I’ve already bought all the styles in this series, with various designs.”
So it was Third Brother who had changed it.
Gu Dai responded with a light laugh, “I like it. It’s the type I ;ole.”
After she answered, she saw all the house servants moving boxes to and from. Puzzled, she inquired, “Third Brother, what are they moving?”
Meng Zhi mysteriously smiled and answered, “The clothes and jewelry I bought for you.”
Last night, the person who was assigned to buy the carpet was troubled by so many styles and thus messaged Meng Zhi to ask which one to buy.
Meng Zhi had checked them, and finding them all beautiful, instructed them to buy all of them.
After looking at the carpets, Meng Zhi couldn’t resist checking for new clothing designs. He discovered quite a few, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Gu Dai would look stunning in each one.
As a result, Meng Zhi couldn’t help himself and inadvertently bought too many.
Gu Dai felt touched, but also a bit helpless, “Third Brother, you’ve bought so much for me recently, and I can’t wear them all.”
Meng Zhi had already thought of this problem, and at that time, he thought it would be enough for Daidai just to look at them once.
Although he thought this way, he didn’t dare to voice his thoughts.
Seeing Meng Zhi fall silent, Gu Dai couldn’t help but worry that her previous words might not have been too good, considering Third Brother’s kind intentions in buying her clothes.
Gu Dai looked up at Meng Zhi, smiling, “I like all the gifts from Third Brother. As a thank you, I’ll cook lunch!”
Meng Zhi’s eyes brightened, but then he shook his head.
Seeing Meng Zhi’s actions, Gu Dai asked puzzledly, “What’s wrong, Third Brother?”
Meng Zhi said with concern, “You’ve been working too hard lately. Don’t bother cooking for me during your rare break. Besides, 1 think we can go eat at Lin
Xian Pavilion.”
Gu Dai looked away slightly, “Lin Xian Pavilion… alright, let’s leave now. It’s getting late.”
At that moment, there was already a long queue at Lin Xian Pavilion.
Zhou Ci was furiously fanning himself and his grandfather with a fan, asking in confusion, “Grandpa, why insist on eating out? We have three maids to cook at home.”
Zhou Ye sternly replied, glowering at Zhou Ci, “You foolish boy, you don’t understand life. The dishes in this restaurant are delicious. After you taste them, you’ll want to eat here every day.”
Zhou Ci was unconvinced, “This restaurant has been open in the capital for so long, and I’ve never heard of it. How good can the food be?”
Zhou Ye clucked, “You haven’t heard because the restaurant limits the number of guests every day. People who’ve eaten here fear they won’t get a spot next time, so they don’t advertise it. If you weren’t my grandson, 1 wouldn’t have brought you here!”
Zhou Ci nodded repeatedly, appearing to take in his grandfather’s words.
The queue slowly shortened, and finally, it was their turn. Zhou Ci, at that moment, inexplicably felt full of hope. But before he could revel in the feeling, a noisy argument erupted ahead.
“I’ve eaten in your restaurant so many times, how come it’s closed just as I arrive? Are you targeting me?”
The waiter responded with a smile, politely, “I’m sorry, sir, we don’t target any customer, especially a regular like you. You should know our rules.”
Zhou Ye sighed helplessly, complaining to Zhou Ci, “It’s all your fault for wasting time earlier. Otherwise, we’d have made it. Come on, let’s go.”
Zhou Ci turned his head away and coughed lightly, but when he looked up again, he unexpectedly saw Gu Dai and Meng Zhi walk into the restaurant..
