Zuo Zixian never thought that a young master like him would come to such a place to eat, it wouldn't be excessive to say he was condescending.
But since he wanted to eat, and she couldn't leave now, she had no choice but to follow.
The French boss, a very simple and honest middle-aged man, who was about to close his shop, greeted them warmly when he saw them, two distinguished Oriental people, and began to entertain them.
"What would you like to eat?" he asked, clearly aware that she had come to his side.
Zuo Zixian frowned slightly, looked at the menu, and curled his lips, "I want a coconut milk ball and a buckwheat pancake, and also a vegetable soup."
The man raised his eyebrows as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
He told the boss in fluent and fluent French that he wanted the same food.
Zuo Zixian did not expect him to eat the same thing as him, and felt both surprised and slightly angry at the same time.
"Why do you want to eat the same thing as me?" she whispered in Chinese, but the anger in her voice was pampered by her voice.
His envious eyelashes slightly fluttered, and a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes. "I like it."
It was just three simple words, yet it already expressed his domineering and domineering attitude. In short, when he was with him, Zuo Ziqian must have been completely devoured.
The two of them sat in a seat near the door. His tall and big body seemed a bit tight in the narrow seat, but he didn't seem to care at all.
Zuo Zixian wanted to laugh, but resisted his laughter, and only sized up the decorations around him indifferently.
This shop was only decorated simply. It was very simple and unadorned, but it gave people a very warm feeling, as if it were home.
Since there were no longer any customers eating in the restaurant, other than the boss and the kitchen staff, there were only the two of them in the restaurant.
The quiet atmosphere made Zuo Zixian feel short of breath, especially with Ling Yiheng being so close to him, it made her even more nervous as she was always afraid that he would do something terrifying.
However, he did not do anything while waiting for the dishes to arrive.
It was only when the boss personally brought the dishes up that he said thank you and took out a few euro notes as a tip.
This time period is already working overtime, so generally should be given a tip.
The boss smiled warmly and took the tip. He wished them a pleasant meal and looked at them as if they were a couple.
Zuo Ziqian had no intention to explain and could only roll his eyes internally.
She took the knife and fork and started to cut her buckwheat pancake. She cut off a piece and put it in her mouth to chew.
She hadn't expected much from such a restaurant, but when the sweetness of the cocoa cake and the freshness of the vegetables burst out of her mouth, she was overwhelmed by the simple staple food.
The man saw the surprise and joy in her eyes.
"Delicious?" His clear voice came from across from her, full of interest.
Zuo Zi Wu looked up, seeing that she was preparing to temporarily stop the war for food, she was already starving.
"You can try it yourself." She was too crafty to say it directly.
This made him feel even more pleased. After taking a sip of the lemon juice, he neatly cut a piece of buckwheat pancake and put it in his mouth.
He had to admit that she had a good taste for food, and the pancake was indeed very tasty.
"That's right."
Zuo Ziqian secretly felt happy in his heart, but he still wore a cold expression on his face, unwilling to let him feel his good mood.
The two of them seemed to eat quietly, and she hoped that they would be able to get through it safely. Then she would be able to go home and it would be best if she didn't see him again in the near future.
However, reality wasn't as beautiful as she wanted it to be.
"Would you like some dessert? I think the introduction on the menu is pretty good. " He put down the knife and fork in his hand and asked Zuo Zixian, who was still tasting the coconut milk ball. His voice was not as cold as it was before, but it had a hint of moonlight in it.
She shook her head. She didn't want to eat too much tonight.
"I want to go home early." She forced herself to say this, but her heart was thumping wildly, afraid that he would not agree.
Sure enough, this made CEO Ling's face darken. He was dissatisfied with how much she wanted to leave him.
He had never known himself to be so loathsome. At least, before he met her, all the women would have wanted to throw themselves at him. Only she would have avoided him.
"Take a walk with me, then I'll send you back."
He gave up on the idea of taking her straight back to his apartment. He didn't want to cause any more trouble. Who knew how many times he had given in to this woman.
Zuo Zixian knew that he had to agree even if he didn't agree now. Thus, he could only replace the answer with silence.
As the two left the restaurant, the boss enthusiastically opened the door for them and even wished them a happy evening with a smile. Although his tone was sincere, it was as if he considered them a couple.
Zuo Zisheng felt a headache coming on, but there was nothing he could do. Who asked him to hold the evil man's hand so tightly? To outsiders, it looked like they were a couple holding hands on the road. Even if he wanted to correct him, he didn't have the confidence to do so.
"Where are we going?" she asked doubtfully as they crossed the street. He was walking in the opposite direction from her house.
"Take a walk." His voice was low but somewhat hoarse, making Zuo Zixian feel strange.
From the side, he looked a bit cooler and a bit less chilly. At this moment, he was walking under the dim yellow light of a street lamp, his silhouette reflected against the moonlight. His side profile was still able to captivate people's souls, but the splendor of his appearance made him look like a prince under the moonlight.
Zuo Zizhen's cherry lips slightly pursed, impressed by his temperament in his heart, but he still had to show a cold expression.
"Do you know that place?" He suddenly opened his mouth and pointed to a building with the style of a field garden not far away.
Zuo Zixian followed his finger and smiled. "There, it's the Children's Welfare Institute in Strasbourg."
She looked over there with a rare warmth in her eyes, as if she was looking at a light that she hadn't seen in a long time.
What Ling Yiheng didn't know was that she used to volunteer there with her classmates and even donated money to help the children there.
Although she had been very busy after college with the matters of the winery and social interaction, she would occasionally come here to help. The dean was also very familiar with her since a long time ago.
She had been so busy lately that she hadn't been there for almost two months, but someone had sent some things over.
"Oh? Is that so? "Let's go take a look." As he spoke, he continued walking.
Actually, he wasn't that interested. He just wanted to get along with her a little more, no matter where he went.
Zuo Zixian originally wanted to say that the orphanage was already closed, and there was no way to enter it. However, after thinking for a moment, he probably just wanted to walk outside, so he didn't say anything.
The two of them arrived at the front door of the orphanage one after the other. They saw the warm light coming from inside and could vaguely hear the laughter of children, brimming with the beauty of another world.
The man's expression softened as well, and he quietly looked inside for a while.
Zuo Ziqian could not help but raise the corners of his mouth, thinking of the best care for the children in the orphanage, and she felt sincerely gratified.
The two of them stood there for a long time without saying anything, as if they had a tacit understanding. They just quietly looked inside, as if they were infected by the warmth inside.
This Ling Yiheng didn't seem to be as cold and annoying as usual. Zuo Zizhen thought to himself, but he didn't let his guard down.
After an unknown amount of time, he retracted his gaze and turned his head back to look at her.
Being stared at like a black whirlpool by his black eyes, Zuo Zixian's heart was slightly frantic. He wanted to dodge but he held his hand.
"Let's go, I'll take you home." It was a very faint sentence that drifted into her ears, causing her to feel greatly astonished.
It's that simple? You just sent her home? There were no other acts of shock, just a walk to the orphanage and she was sent home? This really did not seem like the style of a CEO.
Seeing the girl's stupefied gaze, the man couldn't help but be interested. He suddenly moved closer to her face. "What's wrong?" Are you very disappointed? Or do you want to do something special with me? "
He deliberately emphasized the words "special matter" as if he was teasing her or provoking her.
Zuo Zixian's expression froze, he felt a burst of heat on his face and quickly moved his body, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am not disappointed, I want to go home! "
He originally wanted to run away, but his hand was held tightly by the young man. Just as he took two steps, he was pulled back.
"Will you come back with me? I can arrange a branch of the winery for you in the country. "
His sudden suggestion caught Zuo Zixian off guard, but she quickly rejected it, "No, don't act on your own, I don't need you to do so, and I won't return with you."
She really didn't understand. He had a real fiancee waiting for him, so why did he insist on pestering her? Was it because he wanted to torture her?
The man's gaze became stern, and the strength of his grip on her increased, "Is it because of Rui Chen Yang?"
She did not speak, but gasped in pain.
Realizing that she was in pain, he relaxed his grip, but his face only grew uglier.
Because it was not far from her house, he arrived after crossing two streets. However, when he arrived at her house, he still did not have the intention of letting go of her hand.
"Thank you for seeing me out. I'm going back." She tried to pull away, but the man didn't move.
