Reaching the place, Chu Mengyao felt a little surprised. It was actually a courtyard house located in the center of the city, the same place that Xiao Tian had invited her to last time.

She had heard that the restaurant was very difficult to find and usually only served two groups of guests. Sometimes, they might not even be booked half a month in advance.

She couldn't help but ask, "Have you booked a seat?"

"What do you think?" Fu Yi asked back without even looking at her.

She was asking an idiot. Since he brought her here, he must have already reserved a seat for her.

"But you have to wear proper clothes to come here." Chu Mengyao felt very embarrassed. She had worn it very casually, a white woolen sweater and a skirt that reached to her knees. On the outside, she was only wearing an overcoat.

Fu Yi sized her up from head to toe, and then said with difficulty, "Although Meng Yiran's taste is not too good, but this set of clothes is still passable."

Chu Mengyao truly felt that she was unable to communicate …

Fu Yi walked in first, and when he saw that Chu Mengyao did not move, he quickly said, "Quickly follow me."

In the end, Chu Mengyao found out that eating in formal attire was nothing at all. Nobody would even care about what Fu Yi was wearing when he came to eat.

Just as he walked in, a waiter came up to welcome him. "President Fu." Then he took them to the dining area and left.

Fu Yi asked Chu Mengyao what she liked to eat, and then he ordered a meal, and finally asked her, "Do you want to drink some wine?"

Drinking with him was fine, she was afraid of drinking in the wrong direction.

After dinner, she hurried back to the Chu Clan.

She looked around and saw that they were the only people at their table today. She whispered to Fu Yi, "The business here isn't as good as it is said to be?"

"What do you mean?" Fu Yi didn't even have time to react.

"I heard that this place only receives two tables of guests a day, and sometimes there are no seats available half a month earlier!" Chu Mengyao's voice was very soft, "But we're the only ones here tonight, and we're the only ones there. It seems like you didn't order those in advance. Those rumors are probably just a gimmick, right? "

Fu Yi frowned, "What you said makes some sense, but can you tell that the restaurant is doing business just by tonight?"

After pausing for a moment, Fu Yi continued, "For example, the boss said that he wanted to take over the restaurant tonight, I guess the person in charge of the restaurant cannot reject, right?"

"That's true." Chu Mengyao subconsciously nodded, then suddenly came to her senses and looked towards Fu Yi, "Are you the boss here?"

Fu Yi blinked his eyes, "What, do I not look like one?"

How awkward, he actually said bad things about the restaurant in front of the restaurant's owner. Why was it that every time she was in front of him, she would become so stupid, say something awkward, and do something embarrassing?

"Actually, there's no need to reserve a room. It's too expensive." Before, she didn't have any concept of money, but she already understood the concept of managing the Chu's for a period of time. Although making money was important, she needed to be frugal where she needed to be. Fu Yi's current actions were so wasteful, so extravagant. Although money to them may be no different than a common string of numbers, but still need to pay attention to open source throttle.

"I want to have a quiet and elegant place to chat and eat with you." Fu Yi looked at her with extremely gentle eyes.

Is this the legendary date? Chu Mengyao felt that her heart was beating really fast.

The reason why Fu Yi chose this place was because he hoped to let her relax even more.

They had been getting along very easily during dinner, unlike the past when they had chased each other and evaded each other. They didn't feel awkward or embarrassed every step of the way, as they all felt that this dinner was very harmonious and beautiful.

Chu Mengyao drank a bit of the wine. She was not drunk, but this atmosphere already made her feel a little tipsy. Her clear eyes looked even more watery now, and when that gaze swept past him, Fu Yi felt her heart beating really quickly. "Mengyao, is your nickname Crystal?"

"Yes." This name was her nickname to begin with, but Chu Zhiruo didn't like it. After returning to the Chu Family, she gave Chu Mengyao her current name, and told her that changing her name was the beginning of a new life. She was no longer an orphan, but a princess of the Chu Clan.

However, Chu Mengyao knew that the past could not be erased, and what existed was naturally the truth. Except for the orphanage director and the children, no one knew her name.

"Why is it called Crystal?" Fu Yi asked somewhat curiously.

"Zhang Ping's mom gave me this name. She said that when I first arrived at the orphanage, I was always crying, but when I didn't cry, my eyes were as bright as the stars, so she gave me this name. I hope I don't cry, my eyes will always be as bright as the stars."

Fu Yi frowned, he could not imagine how Chu Mengyao passed her days in the orphanage. He wanted to understand everything about her, "Why did you go to the orphanage?"

Speaking of the past, Chu Mengyao unconsciously wrinkled her brows, "When I arrived at the orphanage, I was still a very young child, so I had no impression of him. But I heard from Mama Zhang that I was found in a car accident and then they took me to an orphanage. "

"How old were you?" Fu Yi asked.

"He should be two years old, right?" Chu Mengyao wasn't very sure.

"And then your aunt found you?" Fu Yi asked.

Chu Mengyao nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt found me when I was ten years old, and told me that I was her little brother's child. "After we did some DNA testing and confirmed our blood ties, my aunt brought me back to the Chu Clan." By the time she was ten years old, she could already remember a lot of things.

Fu Yi could not help but feel sorry for the woman in front of him. The condition of the orphanage was very bad, and he could tell her childhood just by imagining it …

Seeing that Fu Yi's expression was a bit heavy, Chu Mengyao intentionally used a relaxed tone and said, "I was really too young then, so I didn't have any impression of my parents. My aunt told me that my father had died before I was born, and my mother had died in a car accident. I had never lived with my parents, so they were just a symbol to me. And aunty is very good to me, very much in love with me. "

Her words were light, but Fu Yi felt a bit sad in his heart. He pitied what she had experienced when she was young.

He held her hand, wanting to warm her, accompany her, give her a happy life, "Chu Mengyao, I have a good suggestion, do you want to listen?"

She looked at him in surprise. "What proposal?"

"This proposal will certainly allow you to lead a happy life. Your brow will no longer frown, and your life will be far from trouble."

This scene was too beautiful, Chu Mengyao was moved, "What kind of suggestion is it?"

"Be my girlfriend, okay? Stay with me and let me shield you from the elements." Fu Yi looked at her with deep emotions.

His thoughts were unreservedly revealed, causing Chu Mengyao to feel embarrassed, and his mind to go blank for a moment. Her heart was filled with joy. In her mind, there was only this phrase that kept repeating in her head. She was unable to think and could only look at him blankly.

His grip tightened as he looked at Chu Mengyao with a perturbed expression. Her silence made him feel a trace of uncertainty in his heart. Raising his eyebrows, he teased, "What? You're only prepared to sleep with me and take advantage of me, yet you're not willing to give me any status or responsibility for me?"

How could he say such a thing!? It's in the dining room now.

She yanked her hand away, her face burning. She secretly looked around her surroundings and could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Luckily the waiters were standing far away, so they probably didn't hear the embarrassing words spoken just now!

Annoyed and anxious, she blurted out, "How much do you want? I'll give it to you!"

Fu Yi answered seriously, "I'm very expensive, and besides, money is not important to me, so it's better for you to be my girlfriend."

Chu Mengyao felt a wave of warmth in his heart. Her heart was simply too sweet for him to express her love like this.

Initially, she wanted to nod her head to agree, but upon thinking about Wu Haoran, she frowned.

Seeing her frown, Fu Yi instantly felt bad in his heart. She knew what he wanted to do. This feeling of being out of his control was not good at all. It was a very frustrating feeling.

"You know about Haoran." She was a bit hesitant when she spoke.

Why did he mention that person at this time? It was really depressing. Fu Yi snorted with dissatisfaction, but he had wanted to find a chance to talk about this matter, "Why did you two not cancel the engagement, and why are you still dragging this out?"

Chu Mengyao said with some difficulty, "The marriage contract should naturally be annulled. It's only to help the Wu's redeem its reputation, and said that it would take a period of time."

"You want to reject me for another man?" Fu Yi's expression was somewhat ugly, and his voice was filled with displeasure.

Under this gaze, Chu Mengyao felt a lot of pressure, but she really couldn't respond to him right now.

"Do you want to reject me?" Fu Yi asked again.

"Of course not!" Chu Mengyao quickly replied.

"Then you mean you want to travel between two men? "You think quite well." Fu Yi was obviously angry, as his words became sharper.

"He and I grew up together, after all. Now that he's faced with such a problem, I can't stand idly by the side and watch." She really wanted to tell him that she didn't want to do that either. She could only dryly explain, "After the matter is over, we will cancel the engagement."

Seeing that his face was still as unsightly as before, Chu Mengyao said in a slightly spoiled manner, "You're a man with a broad chest of heart. You definitely won't mind me helping him, right?"

The woman looked at him with such innocent eyes that he lost his temper.

Although he really didn't want to, he could only helplessly glare at her, "You did a good deed, then what about me?" What he was most worried about was that she would avoid him and keep her distance. He did not want to experience this feeling of being so close to him yet untouchable.
