Chapter 320 I've discovered you're quite good-looking

When they arrived at the restaurant that Lu Zuofan had mentioned, Qu Jingyou parked the car.

She asked, "Can we eat first? I'm hungry."

How could Lu Zuofan let her go hungry? He quickly said, "Okay, let's eat first."

The restaurant had only been open for a short time; its decor was understated yet sophisticated, with a rustic charm.

Putting aside everything else, just the renovation alone requires a considerable investment.

Entering the backyard, one finds small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and towers, as if the Jiangnan region has been brought into the restaurant.

"The boss is really generous," Qu Jingyou whispered. "That vase just now looked like a genuine antique."

Lu Zuofan smiled: "Do you like it here?"

Qu Jing nodded: "I quite like it. I just don't know how the food is. I'll try it today."

The two were led into a private room by a waiter.

Lu Zuofan didn't let Qu Jingyou do anything. He took it upon himself to order several dishes, all of which were Qu Jingyou's favorites.

She said, "I didn't even see the menu."

Lu Zuofan said, "Listen to me, try these dishes first. They're made to your taste, and if you don't like them, have them improve them."

"Huh?" Qu Jingyou asked in surprise, "Why do you sound like the boss?"

Lu Zuofan said, "Since it's just opened, you can naturally give us your opinions. If you like it, we'll come often in the future."

Qu Jingyou tentatively asked, "Lu Zuofan, you didn't open a restaurant just because I mentioned it before, did you?"

Once, when the two went out to eat, Qu Jingyou mentioned a friend.

My friend's husband opened a restaurant specifically for her favorite dishes and even hired the head chef.

My friend was very touched.

Lu Zuofan said, "I didn't mean to move you. To me, opening a restaurant is nothing."

"It really is." Qu Jingyou was a little unsure what to say. "You didn't need to do this for me, I really..."

“I know you won’t be moved, and this won’t be a surprise for you, but it’s something I’m willing to do.”

"Oh." Qu Jingyou still felt a little guilty: "But you shouldn't do things like that in the future, it's really unnecessary."

Lu Zuofan never intended to use this incident to gain credit.

He hummed in agreement and reached out to pour tea for Qu Jingyou: "It's fruit tea, have a taste."

The taste is refreshing and slightly sweet, with a subtle aroma. Qu Jingyou's eyes lit up: "It's delicious!"

"Then drink more."

The food was served quickly, and Qu Jingyou, being a little foodie, couldn't wait to try it all.

She has eaten countless delicious foods.

For her, what she wanted to eat wasn't some rare ingredient, but rather to make everyday meals taste delicious.

The chef surprised her.

"It tastes so good!" she exclaimed, praising generously. "I'll definitely come again next time!"

If she likes it, then Lu Zuofan's goal has been achieved.

She ate quite a bit, and finally slumped in her chair, rubbing her belly and sighing, "I think I'm stuffed."

Feeling sleepy?

She nodded: "A little. But let's finish talking about what we were talking about before."

Lu Zuofan then gave her a different kind of fruit tea: "It's good for digestion, have a cup."

Qu Jingyou said, "Just leave it there, I can't drink it right now."

Lu Zuofan put down the teapot, glanced at her, and then said, "Jingjing, yes, I promise you, if you still don't have feelings for me after three months, I won't bother you anymore."

Qu Jingyou said, "You did a great job."

“But I’m very unwilling,” Lu Zuofan said. “You’d rather go on blind dates than try with me.”

Qu Jingyou said, "We've been trying for three months already, how can you say I'm not willing to try with you?"

“Those three months were different for us,” Lu Zuofan said. “You went on those blind dates with marriage in mind. But what about me?”

Qu Jingyou said, "I didn't go on blind dates with the intention of getting married... I just wanted to get to know them, and if it was a good match, we could take it a step further."

“But the ultimate goal is marriage,” Lu Zuofan said. “So it’s still different from what I do.”

“Okay,” Qu Jingyou said, “but I feel very comfortable with our relationship right now.”

“That’s because I’m trying to make you feel comfortable. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’d never want to see me again,” Lu Zuofan said. “If you’re willing to go on blind dates, get to know people, and try things out with those people, why not try me? I don’t think I’m any worse than them.”

Lu Zuofan's words were somewhat humble.

He's no less capable than them.

It couldn't be better.

Lu Zuofan added, "I know it's my past relationships that have made you prejudiced against me. I don't want to say anything more about guarantees; I'll just spend my whole life proving myself."

Qu Jingyou said, "Actually, after getting to know you over this period of time, I think you're a very good person. But I..."

“I’m not your type,” Lu Zuofan said. “You’re not attracted to me, and you’re not interested in me.”

Qu Jingyou smiled and said, "See, you know everything."

Lu Zuofan said, "Jingjing, I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable, so I acted like a friend to you."

He dared not get close, dared not be ambiguous, and dared not say anything excessive.

But actually, when it comes to flirting with women, who can compare to Lu Zuofan's skills?

He just didn't want to use those methods on Qu Jingyou.

"But aren't you pursuing me?" Qu Jingyou asked, somewhat puzzled. "Then you say you want to be friends with me. You're so contradictory."

"I am……"

Lu Zuofan didn't know how to explain.

He didn't dare to be rude to the girl he liked.

I felt it was disrespectful to her.

This was his first love, the first time he had ever felt his heart flutter.

It's funny, he's been with so many women before he met his first love.

But that's just how it is.

He didn't care about those women with his heart, he only cared about their bodies.

I wasn't moved, so it doesn't count as my first love.

Therefore, he had many concerns and fears when he fell in love with Qu Jingyou.

Indeed, when it comes to loving someone, the one who falls in love first is bound to lose.

Lu Zuofan never imagined that one day he would be reduced to such a lowly and insignificant position.

But Qu Jingyou still didn't give him a second glance.

"What is it?" Qu Jingyou asked him, "Do you actually not know whether you like me or not?"

"How could that be?" Lu Zuofan knew his own feelings all too well: "How could I not know who I like?"

"But you treat me like a friend, I can't tell you like me at all."

Lu Zuofan said, "It's my fault for not letting you feel my affection."

Thinking about Qu Jingyou's blind date, he suddenly didn't want to suppress himself anymore.

“Jingjing…”

He looked at her, his deep gaze filled with affection.

Qu Jingyou looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

He didn't say anything, he just looked at her.

He has a pair of gentle and affectionate peach blossom eyes; when he looks at people like that, it's truly irresistible.

Even though Qu Jingyou had seen many good and handsome men, she felt a little uncomfortable after watching for a while.

She looked away and said, "Lu Zuofan, I've noticed that your eyes are quite beautiful."

“I’m not only good-looking in the eyes.” Lu Zuofan leaned closer: “Take a closer look at the rest of the body.”
