She didn’t expect him to come here for a meal; this place is mid-range consumption, really not quite suitable for him.
The place was fully packed, and Tan Qing couldn’t help but regret answering the phone earlier. Otherwise, he could have found a spot. Now every table was occupied, but fortunately, there were a few four-seater tables, still with empty seats. As he hesitated over which to choose, a girl suddenly waved at him, "Hey, handsome, no seats available? Come sit with us."
"You can also sit with me," someone else said with a smile.
Lin Xue was eating and couldn’t help but laugh, "Girls today are really enthusiastic. Just how handsome is he to be so popular?" As she laughed, she turned to look clearly, her mouth involuntarily opened wide, "Tan... Young Master Tan?"
"Lin Xue?" Tan Qing also noticed her at this moment. A smile played on his lips, but his brows knitted slightly upon seeing the person sitting opposite her.
Wen Nuan... She was sitting right across from him, had seen him long ago, and was that why she lowered her head?
"Come sit here," Lin Xue warmly invited him, pointing to the spot beside Wen Nuan, "Just sit here."
Such a good man was her apprentice’s; he couldn’t be lured away by those girls.
Tan Qing hesitated for a moment, but still walked over in large strides.
He knew Wen Nuan was avoiding him, but he wanted to see her, even just for a moment, sit with her for a while, it would be enough.
He had no other desires. He knew Wen Nuan’s heart was with Leng Yan, and they had already become husband and wife. He could only watch from afar. But even so, it was fine.
He was only afraid...
Thinking about this, Tan Qing felt a slight pain in his chest.
She would leave MT, then go to the Leng Family...
"Tan Qing, you’re eating here too?" As he approached, Wen Nuan couldn’t continue pretending. She looked up and tried hard to smile at Tan Qing, "I didn’t expect you to come to a place ."
"Surprised?" Tan Qing smiled, feeling frustrated by her distance, "I drove here and was very hungry. There happened to be a restaurant here, it was crowded inside, so I thought the food must be good, and came in."
Actually, that wasn’t entirely true. He originally planned to eat at the restaurant he frequently visited. But just as he drove out, Qu Min called, asking why he hadn’t arrived yet; she’d been waiting for a long time.
Tan Qing’s face immediately darkened, and he changed his dining plans at once, saying coldly to Qu Min that he would eat at the company today. He saw this restaurant right then and came in.
It’s just a meal; he didn’t need to eat there. Seeing Qu Min would make him lose his appetite.
"Yeah, the food is really good, right, Nuannuan?"
Lin Xue laughed, looking at Wen Nuan who seemed lost, and nudged her.
Sigh, she didn’t know what was up with the two of them recently; their interactions were really strange, making her anxious just watching.
"Yes, it’s delicious." Wen Nuan quickly smiled, still holding the ice cream spoon. She was already conflicted, and now it was worse, she only ordered an ice cream for the all-you-can-eat meal, and now it seemed really insufficient.
"Young Master Tan, I heard the spots have been decided and will be announced tomorrow?"
Seeing them , Lin Xue sighed helplessly and asked Tan Qing another question, trying to ease the atmosphere.
"Yes, they’ve been decided." Tan Qing nodded, eating from his plate, couldn’t help but glance at Wen Nuan. He saw her concentrating on her ice cream.
He laughed self-mockingly.
She really doesn’t want to know the result at all, right, she simply doesn’t want to go to Italy.
"Is there a spot for Nuannuan? Young Master Tan, I think her design is very good, shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Lin Xue probed further, forcing an awkward smile, "It will be announced tomorrow, so it’s not really a secret, right? Can you tell us?"
She hoped Wen Nuan could go and experience something new, it was a great learning opportunity.
"Master." Wen Nuan looked gratefully at Lin Xue but didn’t know whether to tell her that she didn’t want to go.
Lin Xue was a rare good mentor whom she respected and liked a lot. If she said no, Lin Xue would be very disappointed.
Tan Qing’s gaze was locked on Wen Nuan, and he softly said one word: "Yes."
Wen Nuan’s heart suddenly trembled; he had promised to reserve a spot for her, and indeed he did so.
