In the western restaurant.
The restaurant manager and Shen Yuechuan were old acquaintances. Seeing Shen Yuechuan come with a girl, the manager was not surprised at all.
What amazed the manager was that the girl brought along by Shen Yuechuan was completely different in attire and style.
The girls who used to accompany Shen Yuechuan were all little peris with exquisite makeup and absolutely fashionable appearance. But this time, it was a girl without makeup, who wore a simple T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers...
âPfft, isnât she one of those who Shen Yuechuan used to be the most disdainful of?â
However, what could not be denied was that, this girl looked very comfortable. She had plain facial features, simple clothes, and a special youthful aura which made her look clean and bright.
Such a girl, like the morning sun and the morning dew, was so beautiful that people couldnât bear to hurt her.
The manager gave Shen Yuechuan an ambiguous look without leaving a trace. Just as he was about to tease Shen Yuechuan, the latter put his arm on the managerâs shoulder and said in a joking tone, âI havenât been here for only one or two months. You have modified it here. Let me see how it is changed.â
While speaking, Shen Yuechuan took the opportunity to drag the manager to the corner.
The manager was so dizzy by the arm clutch of Shen Yuechuan that he looked around and then looked at Shen Yuechuan in confusion. âBrother Chuan, whatâs wrong?â
âF*ck!â Their restaurant was the same as a few months ago. It had never been modified at all. Shen Yuechuan had obviously dragged him here on purpose.
Shen Yuechuan lowered his voice and warned the manager, âIâm serious this time. Be careful when you talk. If you ruin my image in Yunyunâs mind, Iâll make you suffer!â
The manager looked at Shen Yuechuan with a blank face. â... What are you serious about?â After a pause, he glanced at Xiao Yunyun who was not far behind him and couldnât help laughing out loud. âYou said you were serious about that girl, hahaha...â
Shen Yuechuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the restaurant manager with heavy eyes. He asked, emphasizing each syllable, âIs it so funny?â
The manager felt a burst of murderous intent. He looked up at Shen Yuechuan and saw an unprecedentedly deep and serious look in his eyes.
âF*ck!â The manager couldnât help marveling. âThis time, youâre really serious?!â
â...â Shen Yuechuan was puzzled. Although he used to treat life as a game and now he was going to chase someone seriously, was it so unbelievable?
The manager was still in a state of shock. He nodded and said, âBrother Chuan, I know what I should do!â
Shen Yuechuan patted the managerâs shoulder and said, âGo ahead with your business.â
After that, he turned back and sat down beside a window with Xiao Yunyun.
The steak was soon served, and its appearance was impeccable. The smell was so tempting that it made peopleâs mouth twitch.
Xiao Yunyun gnashed her teeth and quickly picked up the knife and fork. âIt seems that the restaurant really lives up to its reputation!â
Although she could not wait to eat, she looked very elegant and decent when she started to eat. The steak was cut into small pieces, and she put them into her mouth with a well-made fork. She chewed and swallowed leisurely. Even the small action of swallowing was particularly charming.
Only at the moment did Shen Yuechuan feel that Xiao Yunyun was indeed a girl who had been brought up in a rich family.
Xiao Yunyun was very sensitive to Shen Yuechuanâs gaze. When she noticed that Shen Yuechuan was staring at her, she subconsciously raised her head and her eyes met with Shen Yuechuanâs by accident. Shen Yuechuan smiled at her.
â...â
For a moment, Xiao Yunyunâs mind went blank.
In this case, she should have looked away as if nothing had happened, but Shen Yuechuan smiled at her. If she still avoided it, wasnât she trying to cover something up?
Xiao Yunyun had to say, âWhy are you looking at me? Itâs better to look at the steak in front of you.â
Shen Yuechuan raised the corner of his mouth and said, âYou are more beautiful than the steak.â
â...â
She was better-looking than a steak that had been fried with pickled sauce and oil in Shen Yuechuanâs eyes. Xiao Yunyun didnât know whether she should be happy or sad.
However, since Shen Yuechuan rarely praised her, she reluctantly chose to be happy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunyun gave Shen Yuechuan a satisfied look and said, âMr. Shen, your aesthetic conception is finally online.â
Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrows, put on a serious face and advised, âDr. Xiao, as a woman in the prime of her life, whatâs the point of your life if you canât even beat a steak?â
Xiao Yunyun was speechless for a moment. â... You mean, I shouldnât think that you are praising me?â
Shen Yuechuan nodded. âExactly.â
Xiao Yunyun was so angry that she didnât know how to refute it. She stabbed Shen Yuechuanâs steak with the knife and said, âI donât want to quarrel with you here. If you have the ability, letâs go out and fight!â
Shen Yuechuan thought for a second. Then he shook his head and said, âItâs not serious enough to be solved with violence, is it?â
He couldnât call himself smirking, but his tone was very relaxed, as if it was really Xiao Yunyun, who was making a big fuss.
Xiao Yunyun was speechless and did not know how to react at all. She suddenly withdrew her hand and glanced at a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. She was stunned and took a closer look, only to find that Su Yunjin was already in a taxi.
Oh no, crap!
Shen Yuechuan soon noticed that there was something wrong with Xiao Yunyunâs expression and asked, âWhatâs wrong?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Yunyun shook her head. âNothing.â
It would be strange if there was nothing wrong!
She had tried her best to deny that she liked Shen Yuechuan yesterday afternoon, and she was arranged to have a date with Qin Han today. However, Su Yunjin saw her eating with Shen Yuechuan with her own eyes...
It was a misunderstanding, and it was a huge one!
Shen Yuechuan did not miss the panic at the bottom of Xiao Yunyunâs eyes. âReally?â
âIt is my business if there is anything wrong.â Now that it had developed like this, Xiao Yunyun could only comfort herself to take one step at a time. She put a small piece of steak into her mouth, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and said to Shen Yuechuan, âJust eat. Donât you need to go back to work?â
Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun suspiciously, and finally said nothing. He placed the knife on the steak, cut off a small piece and ate it.
If there was something wrong with Xiao Yunyun, he had plenty of ways to know it if he wanted to know.
Therefore, he would let her keep this secret for the time being if she didnât want to tell him.
However, there was another thing that he had to ask Xiao Yunyun, âYour mother, why did she suddenly arrange a date with you and Qin Han? Is Auntie Su very familiar with the Qin family?â
Xiao Yunyun was so guilty that she didnât dare to look at Shen Yuechuan. She didnât dare to say that, it was because she denied the fact that she liked Shen Yuechuan, Su Yunjin suddenly arranged her to have a date with Qin Han.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yunyun avoided the important part and answered lightly, âMy mother said that she and Qin Hanâs mother had been old friends for many years. They know each other well, and hope that Qin Han and I can be more familiar with each other.â
Shen Yuechuan smiled ambiguously. âI see.â
It seemed that he misunderstood it.
From Su Yunjinâs attitude toward him, he thought that Su Yunjin had a good impression of him.
But in the end, he couldnât get through Su Yunjin.
Shen Yuechuan recalled that Su Yunjin had asked someone to look into his information. If Shen Yuechuan guessed correctly, Su Yunjin must have found out that he was an orphan.
âThatâs right. Who could be assured to let their daughter be with an orphan with unknown origin?â
Xiao Yunyun always felt that Shen Yuechuanâs tone and expression were strange. She asked with uncertainty, âWhat do you know?â
Right at this moment, the waiter served a bottle of white wine. Shen Yuechuan poured Xiao Yunyun a small half cup and said, âNothing, letâs eat.â
After dinner, Shen Yuechuan asked if he should send Xiao Yunyun back.
Xiao Yunyun thought for a moment and replied, âI may have to go to my motherâs place. You can go back to the company. Iâll take a taxi.â
It was daytime, so Shen Yuechuan had nothing to worry about. He nodded, stopped a taxi, signal Xiao Yunyun to get in, and watched the car drive away. Then he turned around to pick up his car, and went back to the company.
In the taxi that was galloping forward, Xiao Yunyun held her mobile phone and waited for a while. As expected, the phone rang.
âIâm at XX Café on the Ganges Road,â Su Yunjin said. âItâs not far from the western restaurant where you and Yuechuan had lunch.â
Xiao Yunyun looked up and saw the cafe that Su Yunjin had mentioned. She paid the fare and got out of the taxi. As soon as she entered the cafe, she saw Su Yunjin sitting in a seat near the window, with a cup of coffee in front of her. It was steaming hot.
She sat down and said, âMom.â
âFortunately, I saw it.â Su Yunjin looked at Xiao Yunyun unhappily. âIf Qin Hanâs mother sees it, how can I explain it to her and how should I contact the Qin Family in the future?!â
Xiao Yunyun really didnât think of these. She lowered her head and apologized in a really low voice, âMom, Iâm sorry.â
âWell, itâs useless to apologize to me.â Su Yunjin looked at Xiao Yunyun and said, âYunyun, be honest with me and tell me if you and Yuechuan have already been together? How far have you gone?â
Xiao Yunyun raised her head and blinked twice. Disappointment filled her eyes and she said, âShen Yuechuan and I are not together, and we havenât developed...â
Su Yunjin was experienced and definitely knew how disappointed and frustrated Xiao Yunyun was at the moment. She asked, âDo you still deny that you like Yuechuan?â
â...â
â...â
After a long silence, Xiao Yunyun said slowly, âI used to know nothing about favor. I studied medicine. Humans have no gender difference in my eyes. Some things which were disgraceful for other girls, as long as those are involved with medical knowledge, I can chat with the male students as usual. I donât think there is anything unnatural or shy, because in my eyes, men and women are all the same.â
Su Yunjin didnât quite understand. âWhy are you telling me this? At first, I didnât approve of you learning medicine.â
Xiao Yunyun continued to say, âBut Shen Yuechuan is different. In my eyes, he is a man who is extraordinary, good-looking and attractive.â
â...â
âHe can make me feel embarrassed, make me blush, and let me know what it means to be excited.â After a pause, Xiao Yunyun went on to say, âMom, for me, he is a person who is different from everyone else in the world.â
There was a hint of sadness in Su Yunjinâs eyes, which was fleeting. âWhy donât you admit that you like him?â
âI have never been willing to admit it, because I donât believe that I will like Shen Yuechuan.â Xiao Yunyun shrugged her shoulders and smiled. âBut after the date with Qin Han, I suddenly understood that even if I didnât admit that I liked Shen Yuechuan, I canât make myself fall in love with others. I canât deceive myself.â
In the end, Xiao Yunyun said in a resigned tone which sounded like she had accepted her fate, âSo, I admit that I like Shen Yuechuan.â
