Shen Jichuan had chosen the right time to come out and find Wen Qiao, but he didn't expect that Wen Qiao would also come over to call him for dinner.
The two of them walked downstairs together.
When Wen Qiao heard that Shen Jichuan had invited her to dinner, she thought that Shen Jichuan must be hungry.
She returned to her room and knocked on the door.
When Wen Qiao arrived at the room, she told Lü Yazhi that Mr. Shen wanted to take them out to dinner.
Looking at the meat in the lunchbox, Lü Yazhi said with difficulty, "You guys go out, I'll just eat this at the hotel. It's hot, and if I don't eat it, it'll go bad tonight."
Wen Qiao frowned, but hadn't spoken yet.
Lu Yazhi continued, "Take Mr. Shen out to dinner, and by the way, call the driver."
Wen Qiao nodded. "I'll call the driver later. You can come along. It's okay if you can't eat the leftovers."
"How can we just leave it? It's fine if it's cold, but it can't be left out in the heat. You guys go and eat, I'll just have some of this meat and some flatbread."
Wen Qiao couldn't persuade her mother to waste food; no matter how much she tried to convince her, Lü Yazhi wouldn't go.
Wen Qiao had no choice but to walk outside, and Lü Yazhi followed her out.
After seeing Wen Qiao and her daughter come out, Shen Jichuan turned around and nodded to Lü Yazhi.
"It's getting late, you must be hungry too. Let's go eat first."
Lu Yazhi quickly explained, "I already told Xiao Qiao that we haven't eaten the meat we packed this morning. I think it's hot today, and it would be a waste if we didn't eat it tonight. I'll just eat this at the hotel."
"Let Xiao Qiao accompany you and the driver to dinner."
It didn't feel appropriate to let Wen Qiao accompany Shen Jichuan to dinner alone.
It must be very awkward for this daughter-in-law and her future father-in-law to be alone together.
Lü Yazhi then asked Wen Qiao to call the driver.
There's no fear of awkwardness when three people are together.
When Lü Yazhi said she wouldn't go, Shen Jichuan tried to persuade her, but Wen Qiao, knowing her mother's temper, shook her head slightly at Shen Jichuan.
"Sir, I'll accompany you to dinner."
"I'll bring some back for my mom when I come back later."
Lü Yazhi quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't bring it, I don't want anything, I can't even finish the meat in this lunchbox."
"I'm just glad you've eaten well."
"Xiao Qiao, you must take good care of Mr. Shen, understand?"
Wen Qiao nodded. "I understand, Mom. Don't go out of your room. If you need anything, just wait until I get back."
Lü Yazhi chuckled, "I'm not a three-year-old anymore, so don't worry."
Wen Qiao glanced at Shen Jichuan, then walked out on her own, and Shen Jichuan followed her.
After leaving the hotel, Wen Qiao said to Shen Jichuan, "We invited Brother Li, but we didn't invite him for lunch, which is really inappropriate."
“There’s nothing wrong with it; I’m paying him a salary.”
"So tonight, is this our first time having dinner alone together?" he asked, looking at Wen Qiao.
We chose a place for dinner nearby, since there aren't many good restaurants in this small county town; there are only two decent ones.
Wen Qiao's idea was to just find a small restaurant and have a simple meal for the two of them.
Shen Jichuan didn't reject Wen Qiao's opinion and followed her suggestion to find a place to eat.
