Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Why are you staring at me?” Shen Wan couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Because you’re beautiful…” He Huai let his true thoughts slip out.
After saying this, he carefully observed Shen Wan’s expression. Seeing that she didn’t show any signs of disgust, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
However, he missed one thing—Shen Wan wasn’t annoyed, but she also didn’t react with the typical shyness a girl might display upon hearing such a compliment.
She was too calm, so calm that it seemed she hadn’t even registered the underlying teenage sentiment in his words.
Unfortunately, He Huai was too absorbed in his joy to notice.
What should have been a ten-minute drive ended up taking half an hour, partly due to traffic congestion, but also because of He Huai’s ulterior motives.
“Welcome, do you have a reservation?”
He Huai provided a reservation number. “The foie gras and caviar here are quite good; you should try them…”
The waitress led them to a window-side table with a charming musical fountain outside, its water patterns changing in rhythm.
Shen Wan pushed the menu toward him. “I’m not familiar with this place; you can order.”
He Huai, living up to his reputation as “Ning City’s Number One Dandy”, knew how to enjoy good food and fun. He chose dishes that were delicious, expensive, and exotic. If Shen Wan hadn’t reminded him that they still had to drive, he would have even ordered an expensive bottle of wine without hesitation.
Every move and gesture he made seemed to announce, “I’m wealthy, I’m very wealthy!”
The young waitress couldn’t help but give him a few extra glances, but when she looked at Shen Wan, her eyes dimmed.
A wealthy man with a partner, better not interfere.
During the wait for their food, He Huai asked her, “How do you manage to work in a place like Mingya?”
“What kind of place is Mingya?”
“Small, shabby, old, dirty, chaotic, and poor. Ahem… Is it inappropriate for me to say that?”
“It’s okay; it’s the truth anyway,” Shen Wan replied with calm composure.
Once again, He Huai was captivated by her. First, it was her looks and figure, and now it was her charismatic personality. He couldn’t help but wonder how could there be a woman like Shen Wan in the world.
Perfectly good-looking, perfectly good-natured, and perfectly in line with his every aesthetic.
Ooohhhh… I really want it!
The dishes arrived quickly. He Huai cut the steak and placed it in front of her. Shen Wan didn’t refuse; she thanked him and then immersed herself in the delicious food.
Under careful encouragement, her appetite had improved significantly compared to before.
And she didn’t hold back.
After all, being able to eat was a blessing, and Shen Wan only hoped to strengthen herself, again and again, getting stronger and stronger!
So, she ate with great concentration and no distractions. He Huai thought about livening up the atmosphere several times but couldn’t bring himself to interrupt her intense focus, so he reluctantly gave up.
However, influenced by Shen Wan, his appetite was also stimulated, and he began to pay full attention to the food on his plate.
This was an upscale French restaurant with an atmosphere filled with the sweet sound of violins. Crystal chandeliers shone brightly, and most people came here not just for the food but also for the ambiance, which was perfect for expressing affection and building connections.
However, there are always exceptions to everything. There are always a few oddballs, like Shen Wan, who was fully immersed in the food, and He Huai, who was equally engrossed in both the food and the beauty before him.
Between them, one could only hear the gentle clinking of cutlery and dishes. So when the voice saying “All Huai” suddenly rang out above them, it was startling and eerie.
“Sixth Uncle?!” He Huai was momentarily stunned. He had swallowed the piece of steak he was feeding himself without chewing properly, causing him to cough violently.
Shen Wan turned her head, and when her gaze met the man’s enigmatic smile, she calmly swallowed the food in her mouth.
She had no intention of losing her composure like He Huai did..
