Shu Pan couldnât help but roll her eyes at him and said in resignation, âYouâre exaggerating too much. Iâve just been a bit busy lately.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âTonight, Iâll take you to eat something good to replenish your energy.â As soon as Wen Chi finished speaking, the car moved forward.
Shu Pan was too tired to respond, so Wen Chi looked at her and said, âShu Pan, if you have any difficulties, you can talk to me. You donât have to exhaust yourself like this. Can a young girl like you handle all this?â
Shu Pan looked at him and replied, âWho has an easy job? Youâre even busier, performing surgeries all day, requiring you to stand for long hours with intense concentration. What I do is nothing compared to that.â
Wen Chi smiled and said, âIâm a man, I can handle it.â
Shu Pan couldnât help but snort and said with a grin, âMale chauvinism.â
The two of them chatted and laughed, and soon the car stopped at the entrance of a Western restaurant.
âYou donât really want to eat at this Western restaurant, do you? Are you crazy? Just look at the ambiance, how much will it cost?â Shu Pan quickly tried to stop him.
âItâs okay, just once in a while.â Wen Chi said nonchalantly.
Shu Pan looked at him with a concerned expression, and Wen Chi jokingly added, âIf you run out of money later, you can stay and wash dishes, okay?â
Shu Pan glared at him and then said fiercely, âIâll eat extravagantly later, bankrupting you.â
Wen Chi looked at her exaggerated expression and nodded, saying, âGood resolution, Iâll be watching.â
The two of them entered the Western restaurant side by side. As they pushed open the heavy door, they were greeted by a luxurious, spacious interior. Splendid crystal chandeliers cast a soft light, creating an elegant and serene atmosphere throughout the restaurant. The gentle saxophone music filled the air, like an invisible mist spreading and calming the soul, making everyone feel at ease. Polite waiters, quiet guests, occasional soft laughterâthe environment was tranquil and beautiful.
Guided by the waiter, Wen Chi and Shu Pan took their seats by the window.
Shu Pan looked at the menu handed to her by the waiter and was slightly startled because it only had pictures of the dishes without prices.
She flipped through it and then said to Wen Chi, âYou go ahead and order, Iâm fine with anything.â She also reminded him to order sparingly.
While they were busy ordering, a strikingly attractive couple entered the restaurant. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was tall and slender.
They sat at a nearby table.
âDo you see that? Isnât that Tong Fei?â someone at the neighboring table whispered to their companion.
âYes, her figure is amazing, not a trace of excess fat, huh?â The companion replied with envy in their tone.
Shu Pan heard the name Tong Fei and couldnât help but become curious. She turned her head slightly to glance at their table.
It was Gu Shaoting and Tong Fei. Shu Pan once again marveled at how small the world was. Despite not crossing paths for such a long time, they had recently started to have some contact due to the design and renovation project, and now they bumped into each other while having dinner.
Shu Pan turned her head back, and at that moment, the waiter served their food.
âWhatâs wrong? Do you know them?â Wen Chi asked in confusion when he
noticed Shu Pan looking in that direction.
âNo, thatâs the supermodel Tong Fei. Youâve probably seen her on TV or in magazines, right?â Shu Pan said quietly.
âI donât really pay attention to that. Iâm not interested in these things. Letâs hurry up and eat while itâs hot,â Wen Chi said as he spooned some soup for her.
Shu Pan nodded and quietly savored the delicious dishes. Knowing that it was expensive, she savored every bite of her food, with everything else fading into the background for the moment..
