Chapter 694: My future child depends on you!

When Gu Yin and Xiao Sheng went in, Wu Chong was talking to the staff at the front desk.

Seeing the two enter, he immediately smiled and stepped forward: "Young Master Gu Yin! You've arrived! We've saved you a good seat, come on!"

Because the people who come here are all of high status, Wu Chong did not set up those enclosed private rooms, for fear that some young masters might be involved in some shady deals. After all, he has the Wu family behind him, and he cannot let such things affect him. So, plants are used as barriers to separate each dining area into a separate area, and the two dining areas are a little distance apart, which is both safe and private.

Wu Chong led the two to a spot by the window. One side was a wall, the other a window, and one side was covered with plants that were over a meter tall. The other side was also covered with plants, but there was a narrow passage that allowed two people to walk side by side.

Compared to other tables, this location is indeed quite good.

“You all sit down first, I’ll get you some food. I know that the young master doesn’t have any dietary restrictions, but what about you, Gu Yin, and Chu Yan, as you should know, do you have any dietary restrictions?” Wu Chong looked at Gu Yin.

Gu Yin sat down and shook her head: "I don't have any dietary restrictions. Let's have some of your local specialties. I've heard they're delicious."

Wu Chong smiled and said, "It's nothing special for you, just the atmosphere of eating and drinking, but it's not too bad. Why don't you two sit down first?"

Gu Yin and Xiao Sheng nodded, and Wu Chong went out first.

Once everyone was alone, Xiao Sheng looked at Gu Yin and asked, "I heard from my dad that you were still researching medicine to treat our illness?"

Gu Yin nodded: "That's right, I've been working on this thing for a while, but I failed."

Xiao Sheng, who had been looking forward to it for a week, was suddenly furious. Although he had those medicines, he would have to take them for life, and many things would be prohibited. The marriage arranged by his family had been postponed again and again. Their marriage was not simple and could not be easily canceled. If it could not be canceled, the girl would suffer with him.

So when he learned that Gu Yin had continued her drug research, he was happy and expectant. Given Gu Yin's intelligence and personality, she wouldn't initiate any experiments without certainty. Before coming, he had been constantly thinking about how far things had progressed and whether they could begin drug testing. If possible, he would be willing to be the first to conduct the trials. But…

Xiao Sheng composed himself and smiled, "In my heart, you've always been the invincible kind! You're different from us ordinary people, the kind who floats in the sky. I didn't expect you to be so down-to-earth this time. It's okay, failure is failure. Failure is the mother of success, and you'll succeed next time! Don't overthink it. My mom used to do experiments, and after a success, she would rest for two days and then set off again! Every time she did it better than the last time! You can do it too!"

Gu Yin clearly saw the disappointment in his eyes, but she still composed herself and comforted herself. In fact, Gu Yin's impression of him had changed a lot.

Upon their first meeting, she thought he was a rich and powerful young man. Due to her past life in the entertainment industry, she categorized him as a stranger. His subsequent interest in her only reinforced this impression.

After that, they didn't have much contact, and he didn't do anything to her that typical rich kids in their circle would do, such as suppressing or harassing her. This made her feel that he hadn't completely buried his family background.

When they met again, the other person's act of helping others while being exposed to radiation made Gu Yin feel that he had indeed fulfilled his duties in his position, which is why Gu Yin was willing to maintain regular contact with him later.

"I haven't finished speaking yet. It was a failure, but there were still gains. Don't worry, I won't let that disease take your life in my lifetime, especially since you have my teacher with you."

Xiao Sheng's eyes lit up: "Then I hope you can figure it out within ten years! After all, I still want a child. I love children, and my fiancée loves them too. So, when my future child will arrive depends entirely on you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chu Yan walked over.

Chu Yan greeted them, sat down next to Gu Yin, and then looked at Xiao Sheng: "What were you talking about just now? What does your child have to do with my girlfriend?"

Xiao Sheng: "...So you only heard the last sentence?"

Chu Yan raised an eyebrow: "The last sentence has already made my scalp tingle. What else is in the first sentence? Tell me."

Xiao Sheng looked at Gu Yin, and then Chu Yan reached out to pour tea for Gu Yin, directly blocking her from view.

Xiao Sheng: "...I have a fiancée."

Chu Yan: "Then tell me about the topic you were just talking about."

Xiao Sheng sighed and gave a brief explanation before saying, "It's not that I'm unwilling to talk about it, but it involves a bit of confidentiality."

Chu Yan nodded after listening: "If you're going to treat the illness, then treat the illness. Our future child depends on you. Who taught you how to talk?"

Xiao Sheng snorted coldly: "My dad taught me! You have a problem with that?"

Chu Yan: "...I wouldn't dare. The teacher is very good, but the student might not be so good."

Xiao Sheng laughed in exasperation and looked at Gu Yin: "Aren't you going to do anything about him?"

Gu Yin raised her eyebrows: "I think he's great."

Chu Yan chuckled and clinked glasses with Gu Yin.

Xiao Sheng: "...Then I'll leave?" He was a bit redundant.

"Why are you leaving? The food just came up, we haven't even eaten yet!" Wu Chong said, bringing over the dishes.

Xiao Sheng got up, took the steak, and placed it on the table: "You don't have any waiters in your restaurant? Have the big boss bring it over?"

Wu Chong pointed behind him: "Didn't they come along? Besides, how can you be the same as everyone else? Move over, I'll eat with you too."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng sat down inside. After Wu Chong sat down, the waiters brought over the other dishes.

"Try all my steaks, they're all imported. This one has a marbled texture, it's Wagyu from an island nation, it melts in your mouth. This one is stewed from New Taipei City, it's been stewed for a long time, it's tender, juicy, and very springy! I won't go into detail about the others, they're all ranked in the top ten in the world. I brought you a little of everything, try them and see which ones you like, then next time you come, just ask them to arrange it! There are also some deep-sea fish, they were just caught from the sea this morning, they're super fresh!"

"You've got quite a few titles, haven't you run out of pocket money?" Xiao Sheng asked with a smile as he made a move.

Wu Chong shook his head: "No, we used two-thirds of it. But Chu Yan has invested in this restaurant, so we don't have to worry about funding. We'll invest in whatever is interesting or unusual, since those people have a lot of money!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng looked at the two of them and said, "You two should take it easy. Don't try to take advantage of just one sheep, or the old sheep behind you will get angry."

Chu Yan chuckled: "Prices are clearly marked, and buyers and sellers are free to do as they please."

This place has now become a stepping stone for some people to enter the upper circles. This is not something that Wu Chong and Chu Yan claimed, but rather something that those people created themselves, though the two of them didn't interfere.

"The taste is indeed good, and the ingredients are very fresh." When they were in the port city, many of the ingredients for the Zhou family were brought back from the sea by their own fleet of fishing boats. The fleet was managed by the steward, who personally went to the deep sea to get seafood whenever the family wanted to eat it. Gu Yin had eaten there a few times, so she knew that Wu Chong was not lying.

"Come often if you like it!..." Before Wu Chong could finish speaking, a commotion came from outside.

Wu Chong frowned: "I'll go take a look. You guys eat first."
