The waiter froze, cautiously looking at Dan Hanjie.
“Who said I was ordering the food?” Dan Hanjie disregarded the pain in her eyes, speaking seductively to the waiter, “Open a bottle of ’86 Lafite.”
“I don’t drink either!” At the mention of the ’86 Lafite, Qin Youxuan almost leaped out of her seat. She managed to maintain her elegance while anxiously uttering a sentence.
She assured herself, she was really just a little anxious!
Seeing the collapse of her face, Yao, standing to the side, couldn’t help but laugh and remind her, “Miss Qin, the ’86 Lafite is considered a rare item, not available at the Ying Shui Pavilion, but Mr. Jie keeps it stored here.”
The implication was that she didn’t have to worry about the cost of the wine.
Qin Youxuan let out a silent sigh of relief, giving Yao a grateful look.
Meeting Dan Hanjie’s teasing gaze, she felt incredibly embarrassed, covering her forehead with her hand.
Let him think what he wants, she didn’t care.
She was merely concerned about her money, unable to compete with the capitalists…
Dan Hanjie observed her, a smile playing on his face. He returned to indifference, elegantly picking up the wine the waiter poured. He took a sip.
The noble movement, the bob of his Adam’s apple, exuded a bewitching charm that was hard to ignore.
Qin Youxuan became a little entranced.
As the waiter approached her, she instinctively pushed the glass away.
Before the waiter could pour, Dan Hanjie’s indifferent voice was heard, “There’s no need to pour for her, she doesn’t drink.”
Indeed, nothing was more embarrassing!
The hand Qin Youxuan extended was left hanging in mid-air before she awkwardly withdrew it.
She slammed the empty glass beside her, watching as the waiter took away the expensive Lafite.
Those resentful eyes!
She merely said a casual comment, did he really have to remember it so clearly?
A hyper-sensitive man, she felt disappointed!
Qin Youxuan picked up her utensils and began to attack the food.
At least she was paying for these, she could eat them without worry.
Not finishing would be a waste.
Just as she stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, she met the teasing gaze of the man across from her, and Qin Youxuan choked.
Why is he staring at her if he’s not eating?
Avoiding his gaze, Qin Youxuan felt awkward. But wherever she hid, the man’s eyes followed.
The way he elegantly put food into his mouth, carelessly, as if he wasn’t even eating, made her feel as if he was devouring her instead.
Qin Youxuan was startled by her own thoughts, finding the spread of food in front of her suddenly unappetizing.
She ate haphazardly, waiting for Master.
“Is that all you’re eating?” It seemed like Dan Hanjie finally noticed her lack of appetite and asked a nonchalant question.
“I’m full.” Qin Youxuan lied blatantly.
But who could eat when someone was staring at them so blatantly!
Yet the perpetrator himself was completely unaware, even boldly complaining about her eating too little.
“If you really want to be a cat, starve yourself,” Dan Hanjie dropped a confusing comment, ignoring her and continuing his meal.
Seeing his hearty appetite, Qin Youxuan secretly pricked countless voodoo dolls in her heart, jabbing them repeatedly.
Yet, she couldn’t help stealing more glances at his elegant and noble demeanor.
She had met many wealthy men, but none could combine wealth and refined class as perfectly as Dan Hanjie..
