There were fewer guests on the second floor, and the manager led Li Zhiting and Tian Xingyun to a quieter spot.
From the window, they could see the dazzling night view outside.
"Please have a seat, Mr. Li."
"Take a seat." Li Zhiting said to Tian Xingyun.
Tian Xingyun nodded and sat down. After she sat down, Li Zhiting followed suit.
The manager handed him the menu, which he passed to Tian Xingyun across the table: "Order whatever you like."
Tian Xingyun took the menu, glanced through it, and ordered two light vegetable dishes.
She handed the menu back: "I’ve finished ordering."
Li Zhiting took the menu and noticed, with a slight raise of his eyebrows, that she had only ordered two vegetable dishes.
He proceeded to order several more dishes, all famous specialties of the restaurant.
Fifteen minutes later, the waiter brought all the dishes to the table, and Li Zhiting served her a bowl of soup first.
He placed it in front of her: "Drink up, you were caught in the rain earlier, have some soup to warm up."
"Thank you." Tian Xingyun blinked and smiled to express her gratitude, feeling a warm sensation in her heart with slightly teary eyes.
Besides her brother Tian Ning, Li Zhiting was the second man to treat her so kindly.
"Don’t always thank me, we’re friends, aren’t we?"
"Yes, we’re friends."
"Friends don’t need to say thank you, drink the soup and eat." Li Zhiting picked up his chopsticks and served food into her bowl.
Huo Shaohua left Andy at the branch company and decided to drive Song Yi home himself. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Andy originally wanted to tell him that Tian Xingyun had come to the branch company to see him.
But seeing him so close with Song Yi, with so many things going on at the company, and yet he’s driving Song Yi home himself.
He decided not to tell him! This also respects Tian Xingyun’s own decision.
President Huo’s heart isn’t with Xingyun at all, there’s no need to say more.
Song Yi was very happy, confident that Shaohua still cared about her, this trip was worth it.
With so many things happening in the company, and he’s tired but still driving her home personally.
She was genuinely happy!
Huo Shaohua was driving fast, wondering what Tian Xingyun had gone to do.
Leaving the child at home and going out by herself, her phone couldn’t be reached.
Could something have happened? The more he thought, the more worried he got, accelerating on his way back.
"Shaohua, you can slow down, there’s no need to rush back ..." Song Yi frowned, watching his fast driving made her anxious.
"It’s fine." Huo Shaohua said calmly, eyes fixed ahead.
He kept an eye on the phone placed next to him, he had sent Tian Xingyun a message but hadn’t gotten a reply yet.
Where could this woman have gone?
Song Yi was scared, tightly grabbing her seatbelt, feeling stuffy and uncomfortable.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she felt nauseous but couldn’t throw up.
Reaching out, she grabbed Huo Shaohua’s arm: "Shaohua, slow down, I feel a bit unwell..."
Huo Shaohua turned to look at her and gradually slowed down: "Where do you feel unwell?"
"Sorry." Huo Shaohua slowed the car down, looking at her with a guilty expression.
He was anxious to go back and check on Tian Xingyun, couldn’t reach her by phone and didn’t know where she went.
Song Yi’s face was pale with fine sweat beads on her forehead, she breathed deeply to ease the discomfort.
She had never felt so terrible before...
"It’s okay, I’ll be fine after resting for a while." She smiled weakly and took a sip of water.
"You sleep for a while, I’ll wake you when we arrive."
"Alright." Song Yi nodded after drinking some water, tightened the cap, set the bottle aside, and closed her eyes to rest.
Huo Shaohua was worried but couldn’t dare to drive too fast anymore.
By the time Li Zhiting and Tian Xingyun came out of the restaurant, the rain had already stopped.
Li Zhiting drove Tian Xingyun to her building, and she got out, closing the car door.
She squinted and smiled to thank him: "Thank you for dinner and the clothes. I’ll treat you to a meal next time."
