Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Lin Tiance Proposes Marriage Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Lin Tiance Proposes Marriage “Lin Dong, have a seat,” Qiao Bing extended her hand, inviting Lin Dong to sit down.
After Lin Dong sat down, a waiter came over with the menu for the two to order.
“Do you have anything you want to eat?” Qiao Bing asked.
Lin Dong shook his head, “You order, I’m fine with anything.”
“Okay, then I’ll order. The steaks here are good, let’s have two steaks, and a bottle of red wine…” Qiao Bing was ordering from the menu.
But unexpectedly, Qiao Bing actually ordered wine.
“Sister Bing, what’s up today? Is there something to be happy about that you’re even ordering red wine?” Lin Dong asked curiously.
“You’ll know soon enough,” Qiao Bing tilted her head and surprisingly showed a demure look.
Lin Dong couldn’t help but be mesmerized.
“Sister Bing, you’re really not the same as usual today.”
“Oh? How so?”
“More beautiful than usual, and more willing to talk.”
“Do you not like this version of me?”
“I like it.”
The two kept talking, and soon the waiter started serving the dishes.
The waiter was a woman who kept staring at Lin Dong non-stop as she served the food.
And while pouring wine for him, the red wine already spilled over the brim of the glass, but she continued to pour.
Seeing this, Lin Dong quickly warned, “Beauty, the wine is spilling over.”
“Ah…” The female waiter finally reacted, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she apologized, “I’m sorry, Mister.”
“Have you been staring at me non-stop? Is there something on my face?” Lin Dong asked, somewhat displeased.
This waiter was way unprofessional.
The female waiter apologized:
“Mister, you’re just too handsome, I couldn’t help but take a few extra looks. Sorry, sorry!”
Lin Dong was already somewhat irritated, but upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but forgive her.
“Alright, thanks for the compliment.”
The female waiter shyly stole a few more glances at Lin Dong before leaving.
And seeing this, Qiao Bing couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
She also said, “Actually, Lin Dong, you really do look good in a suit.”
She then earnestly began admiring Lin Dong’s profile, propping her chin in her hand.
Not far from their table, sitting at another table number, was a man with two women, the man being Wang Xiuxin, who had previously had a brief encounter with Lin Dong.
He was also Qiao Bing’s brief fling from university days and the one responsible for exacerbating Qiao Bing’s illness.
As for the other two women, they were Li Yanran and Xu Ying, whom Lin Dong had met at the door.
All three were children of wealthy families from the capital city, having known each other since childhood and grown up together.
Xu Ying had always admired Wang Xiuxin.
Admired his looks, his strength, his medical arts, admired everything about him.
She had been chasing after Wang Xiuxin, but it seemed he only treated her as a younger sister.
“Brother Xiuxin, what brings you to the Southern Capital this time?” Xu Ying asked curiously.
Li Yanran also looked curiously at the little Medicine King.
Wang Xiuxin smiled and said, “It’s for something in the hands of the Medicine King… Alright, let’s not talk about me now.”
At this moment, Wang Xiuxin turned his gaze towards Li Yanran and asked warmly:
“Yanran, tell me about your cousin, will you? We came all the way from the Capital City to invite him for a meal, and he doesn’t show up—that really doesn’t give me face.”
“After all, we grew up together since we were kids…”
Hearing this, Li Yanran laughed and said:
“Brother Xiuxin, you can’t blame my cousin this time; he has something very important to take care of today. He’s preparing for that thing right now!”
“I understand, I understand. I was just kidding, how could I be serious?” Wang Xiuxin waved his hand, clearly aware of what Lin Tiance was up to today.
It was all for Ye Linglong!
Tonight, Lin Tiance was planning to confess his love to Ye Linglong, to propose to her during her promotion banquet.
As the three of them were discussing this, they suddenly heard an uproar in the restaurant.
It turned out to be the shop manager, who ran this western chain restaurant, making an appearance.
The manager, a woman in her thirties, spoke into the microphone upon her arrival:
“Welcome to all the gods and goddesses who have come to dine with us today; it’s time for our daily lucky customer draw.”
“The lucky customer chosen today will have their entire bill waived.”
This was a tradition at their restaurant, a feature every day.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was naturally a cheer from everyone, and the atmosphere in the whole restaurant was instantly ignited.
“Pick me, pick me!”
A number of young couples shouted out.
And the female shopkeeper slowly drew a table number.
“Now, let’s look forward to finding out who today’s lucky customer is, shall we?”
“That’s table 312!!!”
As the female shopkeeper drew today’s lucky table number, all eyes turned to table 312.
Lin Dong was eating steak at that moment.
Unaccustomed to using a knife and fork, he was using chopsticks and eating heartily when suddenly, countless eyes turned towards him.
Because their table was table 312, today’s lucky table number.
“Wow, that guy is so handsome! Just a bit… unsophisticated, why is he eating steak like that?”
“His companion is so beautiful too, what a divine-looking couple.”
“A Little White Face and a wealthy miss’ story, huh?”
“…”
Everyone started discussing, their attention focused on Lin Dong’s table.
Even Wang Xiuxin, Li Yanran, and Xu Ying turned their eyes towards Lin Dong and his company.
Upon seeing Lin Dong and his companion, all three had a slight change in their expressions.
As for Xu Ying, she couldn’t hold back and exclaimed.
“Damn, it’s actually him!!”
