Si Zhengting rarely talked while driving, and the two of them never had anything to talk about. Zhuang Nainai had not expected him to suddenly say something.
But, would he be unhappy if she said that?
Zhuang Nainai sighed. The car stopped and she alighted from the car with her head hung low. To her surprise, she found that the flooring in the mansion was different.
She looked up quickly and realized that the car had not returned to the Si mansion, but was instead parked in front of a restaurant.
Zhuang Nainai looked back in puzzlement and saw Si Zhengting climb out of the car elegantly. Someone immediately walked up to him and greeted reverently, “Mr. Si.”
Si Zhengting kept his gaze to the front and walked forward.
Zhuang Nainai looked down and hurriedly followed. She asked in a small voice, “Why are we here? Do you have have something on?”
Si Zhengting chose not to answer her and continued ahead.
The decor of the restaurant was simple and exuded effortless class and elegance on a closer look. A bamboo water feature was placed in the center of the salon. A clear, refreshing stream ran from the bamboo flutes, calming and lifting the diners’ spirits in the hot summer days.
Si Zhengting did not walk at a fast pace, but the distance covered by his long legs made Zhuang Nainai have to jog to keep up.
He realized the problem and slowed down his footsteps. The girl next to him was relieved.
Zhuang Nainai finally realized that they were here to eat only after they entered a private room.
Zhuang Nainai instantly looked apologetic. “You must still be hungry, aren’t you? The Gu family’s food probably wasn’t to your taste.”
Si Zhengting could not be bothered to explain himself. The service staff brought him the menu and asked in a gentle voice, “Mr. Si, what would you like to eat today?”
Si Zhengting flipped through the menu and looked up to see Zhuang Nainai playing with her phone out of boredom. He threw the menu on the table. “Take a look.”
Zhuang Nainai looked up and asked in disbelief, “Me?”
Si Zhengting nodded.
Zhuang Nainai was hesitant.
One hallmark of the poor was to have a fear of choosing.
She looked at the dishes on display in the menu – all of them looked so good! Especially that dessert! She swallowed hard at that page. However, she could not decide on a single thing after flipping through the entire menu.
Zhuang Nainai handed the menu back to Si Zhengting with a grimace and said, “You do the ordering, I’m fine with them all.”
If it were in a group setting, they could order more dishes to share. It was too difficult to choose for just the two of them!
Even though this meal was on Si Zhengting and she could go crazy with ordering… they could not possibly finish that many dishes!
She was still torn between the options when she saw Si Zhengting point out a few dishes on the menu with his long, slender finger. He had singled out all of Zhuang Nainai’s favorite dishes.
Si Zhengting saw her eyes glow and her face brighten at his selections.
However, he felt suddenly conflicted after ordering.
Was he being a pushover?
She had stopped liking him five years ago. Why was he indulging her in all these ways?
He brought her to eat because she was hungry.
He ordered so many dishes that she loved so as to make her happy.
Si Zhengting caught sight of Zhuang Nainai’s excited face and his mood instantly brightened.
He had done all these to see her smile.
Si Zhengting looked away from her, and a smile tugged on his own lips.
