Chapter 23 : Dinner Date Part 2
Early release
Chen Shu had parked in the parking lot. When they got off the car, he saw Ye Sui pressing the brim of her hat very low. Her eyes only followed Chen Shu and did not wander to look at other places. She seemed not to want to be recognized by others and appeared to be hiding something else.
Chen Shu could see through what Ye Sui was thinking. She was scared of the dark. He sometimes really wondered why she was so timid.
Chen Shu bent his lips and slowed his steps unconsciously so that Ye Sui could follow him closely.
Ye Sui followed Chen Shu into the restaurant. She looked around after entering. The decoration was luxurious, and the style was elegant. The restaurant was full of high-grade characteristics.
The most satisfying thing was that there were no ghosts here!
Located in a prosperous place, with big Guan Gong in charge at the gate and shining brightly like a gem; Ye Sui had checked on the internet that the owner of this restaurant was said to be fond of feudal superstition. When he opened his business, he spent a lot of money asking people to do Buddhist teachings.
(T/N: When Guan Gong is placed at the front reception desk facing outside, he will guard your establishment from embezzlement and con. In addition to this, he will eliminate malignant chi and protect from competitors, providing your establishment with the chance to flourish and obtain monetary gain.)
Ye Sui, who could not go out to play at night, now had her cheeks streaming with tears, thinking this was a place simply tailored for her.
However, on second thought, she quickly came to a conclusion. She raised her head and asked Chen Shu, “Isn’t this place expensive?”
Chen Shu raised his brows and glanced at Ye Sui. His eyes fell on her delicate and pretty face. His little wife was hardworking and was deeply concerned with their household expenses.
The couple looked at each other for a few seconds. Suddenly, Chen Shu’s lips slightly tilted. Don’t know why, but his mood was inexplicably happy.
Ye Sui had just bought ten vases for him yesterday while being entirely ignorant about his background. If Chen Shu told her the truth rashly, she would be scared silly with her character.
To comfort Ye Sui, Chen Shu found a reason to convince her. “The family entered money into the account.”
After hearing Chen Shu’s words, Ye Sui’s body relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s right. Although Chen Shu was not the successor of the Chen family, he could still receive money from Chen’s family’s trust fund every month. In addition to the salary they received, the family’s trust fund was still ample enough. They could occasionally go out to eat, which was not a significant expense at all.
In this way, Ye Sui felt a lot less guilty.
The private room of Chen Shu and Ye Sui was large with a transparent glass wall beside it from which they could clearly see the scenery outside. Beyond the window was a carefully nurtured garden, with chic lights scattered around, and the environment was exquisite.
Ye Sui only looked at it once, and she dared not see it again. There were no ghosts in the restaurant, but she could not bear to see ghosts floating outside.
It was rare to see ghosts here. She would like to have a normal meal, and this dinner should not be disturbed.
A waiter followed them into the box with a menu in his hand.
The waiter recognized Chen Shu. The prices of their restaurant were high, and the guests who could afford the menu here were either rich or extravagant, especially this Mr. Chen, whose temperament was different from others.
The waiter didn’t know Chen Shu’s full name. He only saw Mr. Chen and some high-ranking guests who had been here, and those people showed great respect for Mr. Chen.
Through other people’s expressions and words and deeds, Mr. Chen’s family background could be discerned. The waiter respectfully opened his mouth and was about to ask Chen Shu if he needed anything.
Chen Shu slowly raised his head and did not give the waiter a chance to speak directly. His light sentence threw the conversation to Ye Sui. “Please introduce the dishes here to this lady.”
First, he avoided the waiter’s particular attitude towards himself. Second, he did not want Ye Sui to be neglected by the waiter.
“Yes.” For the first time, the waiter saw Mr. Chen and a lady eating alone. He put his eyes on Ye Sui. When his eyes fell on her face, he was stunned for half a second.
Isn’t she who they called the “little Chang Ying”, who has been scolded miserably by netizens since her debut?
Ye Sui had no makeup today with a plain, clean, and delicate face, and her skin was white as milk. Her facial features were soft, clear, and distinct, beautiful, but not flattering.
