Sitting down opposite Chen Zenian, Feng Pingting calmed herself down and was no longer so excited. Then she looked up at the man.
I haven't seen him for a few days, but he is still as handsome as ever, with a carefree smile always on his lips, looking a bit casual and unruly, as if no one can get into his heart.
Today Chen Zenian was wearing a sophisticated light brown suit with a tie of the same color. His emerald green eyes reflected the lights, sparkling like a classic gentleman.
Feng Pingting's cheeks felt a little hot and her mouth felt a little dry.
This was the first time he invited her to dinner so formally.
In the past, he always treated her like a child and gave her childish gifts out of self-righteousness.
Never take her pursuit to heart.
Fortunately, he was just as rude to other women.
Over the years, the only exception is Ling Feng.
Feng Pingting didn't care that Brother Zenian didn't love her, because he didn't love anyone else either.
But if someone appeared and took away all his attention and gazes, then... she would never accept it!
"Order whatever you want to eat."
A magnetic and deep male voice rang out, Feng Pingting came back to her senses and saw the menu handed to her.
"What are you standing there for? Do you need me to help you?" Chen Zenian raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl opposite him inquiringly.
Feng Pingting is very abnormal today.
"No need, Brother Zenian, I'll do it myself."
After that, Feng Pingting complained again: "Anyway, you don't know what I like to eat."
Chen Zenian's eyes flashed, "Who said I don't know what you like to eat? You have a bad stomach, so your steak must be well-done. You are also very picky about food and don't like to eat any pasta, so you don't like pasta, but you like potatoes. Of course, garlic and tomatoes cannot appear in these dishes, am I right?"
"Brother Zenian..."
Feng Pingting was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears and her nose felt a little sore. She didn't expect that Chen Zenian not only knew what she liked to eat, but also remembered the details that she didn't eat garlic.
Yalian has been friends with her for such a long time, but she didn't know about these little habits of hers.
Obviously, they haven't seen each other many times in all these years...
"Don't cry. I'm inviting you to dinner, so of course I have to do my homework. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the beauty?" Chen Zenian looked calm. Facing Feng Pingting's touching expression, he was still in the mood to make a joke.
"Do you remember what other women like to eat?"
The woman was very sensitive and quickly caught the loophole in Chen Zenian's words.
Chen Zenian was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, he subconsciously denied: "I don't, I don't have the time to do this every day."
In case Feng Pingting continued this topic, Chen Zenian snapped his fingers and called the waiter.
"You can serve the appetizers now. Please note that her steak should be well-done and without garlic. Oh, and bring another glass of orange juice."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the dishes were served one after another, and Feng Pingting's attention was diverted and she was no longer obsessed with the previous problem.
Chen Zenian was a little dazed, but in fact he seemed to remember what Ling Feng liked to eat.
No, that woman doesn't seem to be picky about food and eats everything.
The meal finally came to an end with Feng Pingting reluctant to leave.
Chen Zenian picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth with a faint smile on his face: "How is it here? Does it taste to your liking? If you are not satisfied, I will take you to Hong Kong City to eat better next time I have the chance."
The existence of this western restaurant is largely for entertaining foreign guests. In fact, in Chen Zenian's eyes, the taste of this restaurant is really average, but there are no other restaurants in Shanghai that can have such a quiet environment suitable for conversation.
"I think it's delicious. There is only one western restaurant like this in Shanghai. It's so prestigious to dine here! My friends must be very envious of me!" Feng Pingting was very supportive.
Brother Zenian had finally invited her to dinner, so even if the food tasted bad, she would eat it with pleasure, and it wasn't bad anyway.
"As long as you are satisfied."
Chen Zenian sighed and looked at Feng Pingting with some guilt: "This time I invited you to dinner, actually to apologize to you."
"Apologize to me?" Feng Pingting was a little confused, "Why?"
"It's about the last time you came to the hotel to look for me." Chen Zenian lowered his eyes, not wanting others to see the emotions in his eyes, and his voice became hoarse and low. "I was in a very bad mood because of business matters at the time, so I didn't see you, and my tone was also very bad. Later I thought about it and realized that I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you."
"Pingting, I'm sorry, you are innocent, it's my fault, can you forgive me?"
Chen Zenian said this with great sincerity, at least on the surface.
Feng Pingting's heart was originally all on Chen Zenian. Even if he didn't apologize today, wouldn't she still come to the appointment?
It is conceivable how much shock Chen Zenian's apology caused to her heart.
"This time... I will forgive you..." Feng Pingting's voice was very soft and choked with sobs.
She raised her head and looked straight into the man's eyes. "It's just that, Brother Zenian, I'm not sad at all that you didn't let me in. You're busy with work and I won't bother you. Do you know what really makes me sad?"
Without waiting for Chen Zenian to respond, she continued, "Yes—you met Ling Feng, but not me..."
"Don't say you met her because of work. I'm not stupid, Brother Zenian. Lingfeng's medicinal materials business is not important at all compared to the big businesses you handle!"
This was the first time that Feng Pingting was so aggressive in front of Chen Zenian instead of trying to please him.
It is undeniable that she attracts Chen Zenian's attention more when she shows her edge than when she is well-behaved.
Chen Zenian was a little speechless, because Feng Pingting was right, in fact, the cooperation with Ling Feng was not that important.
But he saw Ling Feng but not her.
He could not refute this.
