Chapter 214 - Why Would He Find Her Dumb In The Past?

“Alright.” The service staff placed the order with the tablet quickly and looked at Changqing.

Changqing pretended to flip around nonchalantly. The more she looked, the more regretful she felt. She was seriously wondering if this was a trap that Song Chuyi planned.

“Er… I was a little full from the food I had at the movie theater. I’m fine with a steak,” Changqing said as she closed the menu.

“Do you want a bottle of red wine?” The service staff said, “Customers usually order red wine when they have Western food here.”

“No need, we…”

“Let’s get a bottle.” Song Chuyi said, “I remember there seems to be a 300-milliliter red wine here.”

“Yes, so is it the 300 milliliters?”

“Mm.”

After the service staff left, Changqing flipped over to look at the price of the red wine again secretly. $8000.

So expensive. So expensive. So expensive.

She lifted her head and suddenly looked at the leisurely Song Chuyi with a face full of grievances. “Are you mad? You’re not even a good drinker; I’ll have to carry you back again. I can’t carry you.”

“300 milliliters isn’t a lot. Besides, the alcohol percentage in the red wine here isn’t high. It’s just 10%. A little won’t be a problem. In the past, I’ve always had baijiu with your Dad and it’s always more than 50%. Of course I can’t take it.” Song Chuyi rested his arms leisurely on the European couch with flower carvings.

Changqing was increasingly unhappy as she said in a strange tone, “I really couldn’t tell; you seem very familiar with this place. You must’ve brought pretty ladies over frequently in the past, right? Which number am I?”

Song Chuyi crossed his legs leisurely. “You’ve misunderstood. I’ve only been here a few times when I came with Mingwei when he was on a date with his wife.”

“Why would you butt into their date? Who are you lying to?” Changqing snorted. She didn’t believe him. “Just keep on lying to me. You think I don’t know? Like the cafe where we first went to have a drink and chat, it was Guan Ying who brought you there. You even asked if I wanted to have some cake and said that the cakes didn’t taste bad. That was also what Guan Ying told you. You think I’m dumb and easy to fool, trying to use the tricks you used on the women you’ve dated, on me?”

“…” Song Chuyi took a sip of water. “The cafe was indeed introduced to me by Guan Ying but this place wasn’t.”

Changqing mocked him. “What were you feeling when you brought your blind date to the cafe your ex introduced you to?”

Song Chuyi pressed his glabella as he tried to rack his brains. He put his glass down and opened his hands out helplessly. “What do you want?”

“In any case, I don’t believe you.” Changqing was indignant. “I have reason to suspect that you’re so familiar with this place because you brought your ex-girlfriend here before. Why should I come to a place where you dated your ex-girlfriend? And you even want me to foot the bill? I definitely won’t agree to pay.”

A light smile surfaced at the corner of Song Chuyi’s lips. “So after all this, you just don’t want to foot the bill, right?”

“That’s not really it. I’m not such a petty person. The cost of this meal isn’t much to me either; I just don’t feel good.” Changqing raised her head and snorted with pride.

Song Chuyi shrugged helplessly. “OK, I’ll foot the bill. Are you feeling better now?”

“Not really.” Changqing took a look at the menu. “Thinking about the fact that you’ve eaten here with another woman before, I feel that I have to order more dishes to spend more of your money to feel better.”

Song Chuyi watched her with his dark pupils gently. “Don’t forget what you said before—my money is your money. Spending my money now is akin to spending your money.”

“Didn’t you say that your money was still your money? So what does your money have anything to do with me?” Changqing stared with her large, innocent eyes.

Song Chuyi felt deeply stumped for words.

Fine, he finally understood. Actually, there were times where he had to admit that there was nothing bad about his money being his wife’s money.

“Therefore, I should spend more if I can. In case you get the chance to spend it on other women.” Changqing called the service staff over again and picked a few dishes that she had wanted to order but felt were too expensive.

“Order a little less.” Song Chuyi reminded her helplessly. “You ate a lot at the movie theater just now and you said that you’re full.”

“If you can’t bear to spend the money, just say it.” Changqing had an I-can-understand-you face.

Song Chuyi became silent immediately.

She was mocking him subtly for being petty just now in his words and she made a comeback quickly.

Why did he find her dumb in the past? This woman was just playing dumb; she got payback whenever she had to.

The service staff came over and opened the red wine and the dishes they ordered came one by one. Changqing tried a bite of the pizza and widened her beautiful amorous eyes delightfully.

It was delicious. Simply delicious.

Indeed, you got what you paid for.

Her gaze landed on Song Chuyi’s 3000-dollar pasta with a coveted look. From where she was, she could see wild mushrooms, caviar and lobster. It looked as though it would taste very good.

Song Chuyi looked at her gaze and pretended not to see it, eating his food.

“I want to eat yours.” Changqing pulled his plate over a little impolitely and took a bite. Her tongue almost melted from the taste. “It’s so good.”

Song Chuyi watched her gluttonous look and nodded as he laughed.

“I’m eating yours.” Changqing pulled the entire plate over.

After that, when her steak was served, he cut a small piece and she moved in to try it again. She found it delicious too and passed the leftover pasta back to him.

Song Chuyi: “So I can only eat whatever you’ve left over?”

“Do you have any objections?” Changqing raised her full little mouth moistened by the oil. “I didn’t even complain about you bringing other women here to eat.”

Again…

“I didn’t…”

“I don’t believe you.”

Alright. I lost. You can never reason with a woman.

However, Changqing later still returned her leftover steak to him benevolently.

After eating and drinking to her fill, Changqing finished the remaining red wine. She wasn’t addicted to alcohol; it was mainly because it was really good to have red wine with French cuisine. Besides, the red wine here was expensive. She couldn’t waste it.

After finishing the red wine, her cheeks were as red as an apple.

When Song Chuyi footed the bill, he pulled out a VIP card immediately. Changqing looked at the bill and it was just 2000 plus dollars. She stared wide-eyed.

“I have a VIP card. I get 80% off,” Song Chuyi said with a grin.

Changqing almost vomited blood. No wonder he agreed to foot the bill. So that was how it was.

“Oh. You must’ve brought your girlfriends over frequently in the past, so you’ve even got a VIP card. You’ve been here a lot of times.” Changqing turned her head to the side.

After Song Chuyi paid with his card, put it back into his wallet and saw someone’s selfie, he took it out to let her see. “See who’s in here?”

Only then did Changqing take a look. It was still the selfie of herself with her chin slightly lowered to make her eyes look extremely big.

Her mouth curled slightly. Thinking of the fact that he had been carrying her photo in his wallet gave her heart a slight sweetness. “Didn’t you say it looked fake? Why did you still put it inside?”

“Lazy to swap it out,” Song Chuyi whispered by her ear.

“Annoying.” Changqing glared at him, feigning anger.

Song Chuyi smiled as he put his arm around her shoulders. “My uncle gave me the card. He has a ton of cards like this from people who tried to curry his favor. Not to mention this restaurant, but he has cards from many shops in Northern City. However, I like to come here. The ambience is good and the food tastes good too.”

Changqing squirmed proudly. “I know.”

Song Chuyi laughed lightly and kept his wallet, passing the car keys to her. “You drive; my head is spinning a little.”

Changqing: “…”

Please, I had two-thirds of the red wine, okay? Just a glass of red wine could make his head spin?

“Don’t tell me there’s an alcohol check again?” Changqing asked a little worriedly.

“No, I’ve asked the traffic police. They’re not checking tonight.” Song Chuyi caressed her face.

When they were on their way back, she was in the driver’s seat and he was in the passenger seat.

It was the same Audi A7. Even if Changqing’s driving skills were average, she didn’t have to break in the car.

“But why would you get a car of this model?” Perhaps it was because she had some red wine, but Changqing was extremely excited. During the blind date, she never thought he would drive the same car as her.

Song Chuyi tilted his head and thought. After a while, he looked at her with his flushed face and curled his lips up sexily. “Perhaps I knew that my future wife would also drive this car, so I couldn’t resist buying the same model.”

Changqing’s hand, which was holding on to the steering wheel, almost trembled.

She couldn’t look at such a sexy Song Chuchu. It was too enchanting. His words were too enchanting too. It didn’t sound like what he’d normally say.

Drunk Song Chuchu was such a sweet-talker.

“I’m serious,” Changqing said seriously as she quickly calmed her beating heart.

“If you’re serious… my bro gave it to me,” Song Chuyi said honestly.

Changqing: “…”

If she had known, she would’ve rather he didn’t tell her honestly.

A trashy person like Song Chulang would actually like the same car model as her. It simply pulled down her beauty standards.

No way. Changqing felt that she should work hard to earn money and change her car.

Back at home, a branded car was parked in the courtyard.

Changqing took a look at the car plate. It was Fu Yu’s.

She was stunned. Song Chuyi’s face sank. He knew that there was definitely a guest at home. Hence, he gave her a heads-up. “You said you would make it up to me. Don’t chat too long downstairs later.”

Changqing rolled her eyes at him.

Song Chuyi pulled her into his embrace and kissed her lips, saying hoarsely, “I bought all the tickets for you and treated you to a meal. Your husband is so nice to you, so you also have to be nice to your husband, understand?”

His eyes glowed brighter than usual as he locked his gaze on her.

Changqing’s face burned so much she couldn’t listen on.

The drunk Song Chuchu was too mushy.

“I get it.” She pushed him away gently.

The two entered the living room together. The lights were brighter than usual.

Yan Lei, Shen Lu and Fu Yu were sitting in the living room and seemed to be discussing something.

“Auntie Shen, Brother Fu Yu, you’re back from Yangzhou?” Changqing smiled sweetly as she changed her shoes.

Fu Yu turned his head and looked at the two of them lightly. Song Chuyi had an arm around her shoulders. He was wearing a green shirt and Changqing was wearing a green skirt. The two looked like they were wearing matching outfits.

Shen Lu looked at her son and smiled as she replied, “Yeah, I heard from Auntie Zhang that you two went out on a date. You’re back so early.”

“We came back earlier after dinner since we didn’t know what to do.” Changqing smiled as she sat beside Auntie Shen. “Why didn’t you stay a few more days in Yangzhou?”
