Chapter 230: Chapter 230: No need to serve him like a grand unclei

“Alright, don’t be mad anymore, I’m only harsh with you because I worry too much about you.” Dongfang Yu tenderly ruffled her hair, his voice had softened significantly. “You’re right, I messed up this time, I won’t drive such a flashy car next time I visit you. Don’t be mad anymore, okay?”

Hai Xiaotang wasn’t the type to hold a grudge.

He had already apologized, so she didn’t want to press it further.

“Okay, let’s forget about this issue and not bring it up again.” she said uncomfortably.

Dongfang Yu laughed, and affectionately ruffled her hair again.

Hai Xiaotang became impatient, “Enough, stop ruffling my hair, I’m not a puppy-”

Dongfang Yu laughed while continuing to ruffle her hair, “You’re more adorable than a puppy, I can’t help it.”

Hai Xiaotang immediately flew into a rage, “Dongfang Yu, if you touch my hair again, I won’t be polite!”

But Dongfang Yu kept fearlessly ruffling her hair, forcing Hai Xiaotang to make good on her threat.

For the rest of the ride, all they did was bicker.

But strangely enough, all this quarreling somehow made their interaction more harmonious.

Upon reaching their destination, she got out of the car and wondered why she had subconsciously started arguing with him.

Back in the days when she loved him, she wouldn’t even dare to quarrel with him, always walking on eggshells to accommodate his mood.

She would never have imagined freely bickering with him like this.

Even when Dongfang Yu was in the wrong, she didn’t have the courage to challenge him, always hinting indirectly. The moment he showed any signs of impatience, she wouldn’t dare say anything at all.

Now, she was free to do as she pleased, no longer needing to humble herself to his whims.

Hai Xiaotang pondered, realizing that their relationship had been unequal from the get-go.

Because she loved him too deeply, she had surrendered all her power from the beginning.

Now that she no longer loved him, she didn’t have to treat him as if he were superior.

However, she couldn’t help but admit that being herself felt… wonderful!

Today, Dongfang Yu had booked the top-floor rotating restaurant at the Century Hotel.

The expansive, luxurious restaurant only had two guests today – just the two of them.

The hotel had even started up the ceiling’s electronic scenery screen to entertain them.

The screen displayed a dazzling array of stars, shining brightly.

Rows of waiters in uniform stood at attention, ready to serve them.

Dongfang Yu pulled out a chair for Hai Xiaotang and courteously invited her to sit. As soon as she sat down, the sound of beautiful piano music filled the air.

Hai Xiaotang turned her gaze towards the stage, only to be surprised by the pianist!

Wasn’t he the city’s most famous pianist?!

Dongfang Yu had actually invited a pianist to play…

Dongfang Yu sat down across from her and presented her with a large bouquet of roses. “I meticulously prepared tonight’s dinner specially for you. I hope it meets your satisfaction.”

Hai Xiaotang accepted the roses with a twinkling look in her eyes and a calm response, “Thankyou.”

Dongfang Yu smiled and motioned for the servers to begin serving the meal.

Shortly after, beautifully garnished dishes began arriving one after another.

The elongated dining table quickly filled with a variety of exquisite haute cuisine.

The waiters also poured them some aged red wine. Dongfang Yu hoisted his glass, gazing intensely at her, “Let’s get started with a drink.”

Ever since they had entered the hotel, Hai Xiaotang had felt as if she were merely following Dongfang Yu’s lead, like a puppet.

When he proposed a toast, she just raised her glass and clinked it with his…

However, just as they were about to take a sip, and just when the atmosphere was at its most enchanting, a few police officers suddenly entered from outside!
