Chapter 1394: Chapter 1394: Going Out for Hot Pot
Hearing Molly say this, Yu Jian felt even more guilty. After chatting for a while, the two finally returned to their rooms.
After Xiao Keyi finished work, she had nothing to do, so she asked Xu Ke out. The two said they were going to have hot pot, and it was a place Xiao Keyi had always wanted to go. After all, she’d seen so many couples eating at this hot pot place before, and she couldn’t help but envy them during her student days.
Even though back then Xiao Keyi hadn’t met the love of her life, she secretly decided in her heart that once she had a boyfriend, she must come here to eat hot pot, as it was a dream from her student days.
Xu Ke saw that Xiao Keyi liked it, so he didn’t want to spoil her excitement. He wore a tracksuit, took off his suit, and in the gray tracksuit, he looked quite youthful.
The passing young girls couldn’t help but cast glances at Xu Ke, some even looking a bit shy.
As soon as Xiao Keyi got out of the car, she saw that young girls were coveting her man. She knew her man was indeed excellent, but these girls were a bit too brazen.
Walking up to Xu Ke, she felt a bit jealous and lightly pinched him, pouting her lips: "Honestly, I just wanted to have a good hot pot meal with you, but I didn’t expect even when you walk out, you’re still so eye-catching, and those girls are really eyeing you, I’m getting a bit jealous."
"You’re such a charmer, wherever you go people look at you. And this is University City, for goodness’ sake, and there are young girls interested in you, really outrageous."
Seeing the jealous look on the girl beside him, cute and adorable, Xu Ke couldn’t help but be a bit enamored. The few young girls who had passed by earlier were just curious about something new. Although some girls came up to ask for his contact information, Xu Ke declined them all.
He was glad the girl in front of him would be jealous for him, Xu Ke particularly cherished this rare opportunity.
"Alright, I got it. From now on I’ll wear a big woolen coat and wrap myself up so tight that no one else can see, just for you to see, okay? Are you satisfied now?"
Hearing Xu Ke say this, Xiao Keyi couldn’t help but laugh. How come this man in front of her only knows how to joke around? He wasn’t like this before. She didn’t know when their relationship had progressed to this point, where they could be sweet without either confessing, and all the fatigue of the day just vanished.
"You better not wrap yourself up so tightly, it might scare the passersby, they’d think I’ve done something to you. By the way, I came here today to show you something special, something I’m sure you’ve never seen before."
Xiao Keyi spoke with such mystery that even Xu Ke was a bit curious. What kind of mystery is this girl trying to create? What’s she up to now?
But at this moment, Xu Ke was very cooperative, just wanting to make the girl in front of him happy.
Deliberately pretending to be keen to know: "What surprise do you have for me? I really haven’t seen much of the world, so why don’t you take me on a little tour today?"
Seeing Xu Ke so cooperative made Xiao Keyi particularly happy. Anyway, this place was really popular, and you had to queue up to eat hot pot. Even though she was the daughter of the Xiao Group and this was one of their franchise hot pot restaurants, she didn’t pursue those privileges for the sake of romance.
But the manager of the hot pot restaurant was very perceptive and immediately noticed Xiao Keyi and Xu Ke standing at the street corner, quickly ran over. If he didn’t come over when the eldest miss was here, he’d surely lose his job. Besides, as long as he pleases the eldest miss, wouldn’t he worry about business in the future?
As long as the eldest miss said the word, their business would thrive, so the manager was particularly subservient at this moment.
"I didn’t expect the eldest miss to come to our humble hot pot restaurant. I wonder if you’ve eaten yet today, eldest miss? If not, could you dine here with us? I will certainly cater to your tastes. What do you like to eat, eldest miss?"
The manager spoke with eyes full of anticipation, but when he saw Yao Chaoyue looking at the queue, he, seasoned from years in the industry, naturally understood what Xiao Keyi was concerned about.
"Don’t worry, these people have to queue, but as our hot pot restaurant’s member and our boss, you don’t have to queue. I can arrange it for you right now. Rest assured, eldest miss, no one else will have any complaints."
The manager just wanted to win the eldest miss’s favor, but surprisingly, the girl who was high up in their views was looking at the man next to her and seemed a bit unwilling.
"I don’t think it’s a good idea. After all, the two of us came here today just to have fun, and skipping the queue to eat here just feels meaningless. So, we don’t need you to arrange anything special for us."
With that, Xiao Keyi directly took Xu Ke’s hand.
The manager was amazed, wondering how their eldest miss could be so down-to-earth. And who was the person beside her that she held hands with?
Why did the eldest miss treat him so well? He couldn’t help but feel a little envious. That person must really be lucky to win the favor of the eldest miss; he might just have an easy ride up in the world.
Despite his envy, since it was the eldest miss’s choice, he didn’t dare misstep in the slightest, so he quickly nodded.
"Alright, eldest miss, I know what to do. Don’t worry, I will arrange everything perfectly. But if you need my help with anything, do let me know early on, I will prioritize you. Besides, there are other people in the hot pot restaurant, please don’t be too polite."
After the manager finished talking, he saw the eldest miss actually starting to queue, but she certainly didn’t want him to bother her at this moment. Though it was a pity, he attentively served other customers while continuing to glance at the eldest miss, guessing at the relationship between her and the person beside her.
When an employee nearby uttered something, the manager’s mouth dropped open. He didn’t expect the connection between the eldest miss and the branch company’s president was this deep, and they looked quite sweet together.
After all, this was University City, where many couples came to eat hot pot because it was cheap and tasty. Seeing the eldest miss with him, they really were quite a match, though it was a pity that, for some reason, they couldn’t be together.
