When she saw his expression, an evil tendency swept across Bai Yue’s eyes, but she still chased after him. “Jinyan, are you angry? I thought about that incident and got slightly furious just now. I… I won’t talk like this next time, alright?”

…

Zhuang Nainai saw Bai Yue chasing after Shi Jinyan but didn’t know what they were talking about. However, this small episode had already ruined her mood for lunch.

On the way to the private room, Si Jingyu was silent. At this point in time, Zhuang Nainai would choose to not say something and provoke her either.

When they reached the private room, the attendant handed over the menu. Si Jingyu then returned to her normal self. “We’ll have your signature dishes, as well as two plates of stir-fried seasonal vegetables.”

As she passed the menu to the attendant, Si Jingyu smiled. “I heard from Zhengting that you like Sichuan cuisine. This restaurant has a great reputation, has Zhengting brought you here before?”

Seeing how the other party was trying to change the topic without bringing up what had happened just now, Zhuang Nainai smiled. “He hasn’t found the time to bring me here.”

It’s been almost a month since they had collected the certificate. The time they had spent bickering already took up half of it, how could he have found time to bring her here to eat?

Si Jingyu smiled again. “Zhengting may seem like a cold person, but in actual fact, he treats his family better than anyone else. You don’t always have to accommodate him. Occasionally, you can also request for something~”

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

She felt a little awkward and uncomfortable being with Si Jingyu, but Si Jingyu’s witty remarks and smiling face made her feel slightly more affectionate.

Since she didn’t bring up what had happened just now, Zhuang Nainai was tactful enough to not probe any further.

There wasn’t much to talk about as they looked at each other. Thanks to Si Jingyu, who knew how to liven up the atmosphere, they began talking about interesting incidents that happened while she was abroad. When the last dish was served, she ended off by saying, “Spending time to travel around the world can expand your horizons. When Zhengting isn’t busy, both of you should explore more places together to make up for your honeymoon. After the 100th-year-anniversary celebration, hold a wedding as well. Alright, let’s happily dig in now~”

The Sichuan cuisine was indeed very authentic. It was so full of flavor that Zhuang Nainai was sweating all over her body due to the spiciness.

After the meal, both of them looked at each other and at their rounded, little bulging belly. Suddenly, they felt as if they were close friends who sympathize with each other.

Zhuang Nainai knowingly smiled at Si Jingyu. For the first time, she felt that she sincerely wanted to befriend Si Jingyu.

After eating their fill, Si Jingyu called the attendant over and took out her bag to find her wallet, ready to foot the bill.

At this moment, Zhuang Nainai really wanted to say, Let this be my treat!

However!

She lowered her head and glanced at her wallet – there were two, three hundred dollars, only enough to hail a cab. Yet, anyone could tell that this restaurant wasn’t cheap at all. She’d better not… embarrass herself.

Neither could she tell Si Jingyu, It’s my treat, but you will foot the bill, right?

As a result, the attendant respectfully said, “Ms. Si, Mr. Shi has already footed the bill for both of you just now.”

While holding her wallet, Si Jingyu’s hand slightly paused.

It seemed like she had never expected such a thing to happen. She raised her head and glanced at the attendant.

That look of satisfaction after eating her fill had instantly vanished. Her slightly raised brows made her look a little surprised. After a long time, she then smiled with her eyes and brows curved. “So this is the feeling of having someone settle the bill for you, it’s so great!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she placed her wallet into her bag, stood up, and looked at Zhuang Nainai. “Let’s go. As a small, pathetic person, I’ll continue to be exploited by the capitalists!”
