Seeing that Wang Xiangxiang had finished eating and was sitting there without moving her chopsticks, just waiting for him, Han Yongsheng asked, "Are you full?"
"Yes, I’ve finished eating, you take your time."
Han Yongsheng also put down his chopsticks; he had actually finished eating a while ago, but he was afraid Wang Xiangxiang would feel embarrassed to eat more, so he had been eating along with her, "Then I’m full too, let’s head back."
Wang Xiangxiang nodded, took out some Silver from her pocket, and prepared to pay the bill, but Han Yongsheng stopped her, "You sit and wait, I’ll go pay the bill."
Wang Xiangxiang’s eyes widened, clearly a bit embarrassed, "We agreed that I would treat."
"You think I could really let you treat? If Guo Feng found out I had a meal with his sister and let her pay, he might beat me up."
"..." If she wasn’t the one treating, wasn’t her coming here today for nothing? "I should still..."
"You just sit," Han Yongsheng interrupted Wang Xiangxiang, and then walked toward the cashier counter to settle the bill.
Wang Xiangxiang had no choice but to give in and wait. But just when she thought they would be leaving Dongfeng Restaurant soon, she encountered the person she least wanted to see.
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Xiangxiang shuddered and looked up abruptly, her eyes widening and her face immediately turning pale with fright. She quickly got up and walked towards Han Yongsheng. She wanted to leave this place immediately.
Li Fuyou, seeing Wang Xiangxiang scared like a little kitten, suddenly took pleasure in teasing her, following her toward the cashier counter.
"Young Master Han, are we good to go?" Wang Xiangxiang asked anxiously.
Han Yongsheng turned around to see Wang Xiangxiang looking very distressed, and even more afraid than just a moment ago. He didn’t know what was wrong with her, but he knew she wanted to leave immediately, so he said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, please settle my bill first."
Han Yongsheng was just about to hand over the Silver, when he heard a voice speak up, "His table is on the house."
"Dear guest, our young master says there’s no need for your Silver."
Only then did Han Yongsheng realize that it was his table that was being comped. He looked at the speaker, a man he didn’t recognize, but he heard clearly enough that he was the young master of this restaurant. He turned to Wang Xiangxiang, realizing that the person she had been afraid of was him.
Han Yongsheng smiled wryly and handed over a silver note, "No need for change, we can afford our meal."
After saying this, he grabbed Wang Xiangxiang’s arm, "Let’s go."
At this moment, Wang Xiangxiang felt as if Han Yongsheng was her savior. She followed him toward the exit, but a chilly voice rose from behind them, "Miss Wang, are you sure you’re just going to leave like that? Don’t you want to catch up with me?"
The threatening tone made Wang Xiangxiang stop in her tracks. Was he going to use that incident to threaten her again?
By now, Li Fuyou had caught up, his smile making Wang Xiangxiang shudder with fear.
Seeing Wang Xiangxiang scared to this extent, there was a stir in Han Yongsheng’s heart, and unthinkingly, he stepped in front of Wang Xiangxiang.
Li Fuyou still wore a smile, speaking to Han Yongsheng who was protecting Wang Xiangxiang, "Don’t misunderstand, I only want to have a little chat with Miss Wang, catch up on old times."
Wang Xiangxiang, who was hiding behind him, felt that this situation would always be her nightmare. She couldn’t be threatened by him for the rest of her life. If he wanted to disclose it, then let him. Secrets can’t be kept forever; this matter was bound to come to light someday. Her relationship with Chu Lian would have to be left to fate.
So, gathering her courage, she stepped out from behind Han Yongsheng, "Young Master Li, I’m not on familiar terms with you, there’s nothing to catch up on."
With that, she ran out of Dongfeng Restaurant.
