Chapter 199: Mr. Jin, we're on a date right now.
"Thanks."
Sang Qian politely smiled and thanked the waiter.
Jin Changyu felt like the sky was about to fall.
No wonder she didn't come the day before yesterday, didn't come yesterday, and insisted on going out with him today. It turns out it's because today is Valentine's Day.
But he, like a fool, was completely unaware that today was such an important day.
Tsk.
He's such a blockhead.
He was already considered a boring person in her eyes, and now, that flaw of his "boring nature" is firmly nailed to the pillar of shame and he can't get off it.
After the waiter left, Sang Qian looked up and saw the man sitting restlessly. "What's wrong?"
Jin Changyu's face flushed slightly, and his voice was filled with shame and apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't know... Today is Valentine's Day."
"Yes, I can tell."
Looking at Sang Qian's calm and composed expression, Jin Changyu was speechless.
Oh no, does this mean she... has given up on him?
what to do?
Is it too late to ask someone to prepare a gift now?
But...wouldn't that seem abrupt and insincere?
And in such a rush, what good gift can I prepare for her?
What gifts would make a girl happy on Valentine's Day?
While she was frantically thinking, her mind a complete mess, Sang Qian's voice came from the other end of the line, "Are you hot?"
"ha?"
Jin Changyu looked at her, puzzled, and shook his head blankly, "It's not hot."
Sang Qian stared at him. "Then why is your forehead sweating?"
"..."
Jin Changyu smiled awkwardly, "Well, maybe a little."
Sang Qian looked at him for a moment, then said without asking anything more, "Let's see what we want to eat first."
"……good."
Jin Changyu composed himself, opened the menu, and after taking a closer look, his expression darkened even further.
The first page of the menu features today's special set meals, each labeled with a name related to Valentine's Day.
Coupled with the romantic music playing in the restaurant, Jin Changyu's face at this moment was as colorful as the menu.
"How about you see which one you prefer?"
He handed the menu to Sang Qian, leaving the decision to her.
Sang Qian took it and glanced at it. "If you have no objections, shall we take the first one... the steak set meal?"
The first package includes: Every year, it's you.
"good."
Jin Changyu nodded, then gestured for the waiter to come and take the order.
The waiter entered the set meal into their account, asked them about their choices of side dishes and condiments, and then put the menu away. "Please wait a moment, I will prepare your meal right away."
The waiter finished speaking and turned to leave.
Sang Qian picked up the dessert in front of her and took a bite. "Hmm, it tastes pretty good."
She looked up and saw the man still looking dazed. She put down her spoon and said, "Jin Changyu."
"Um?"
Jin Changyu immediately sat up straight and looked at her, his eyes showing some panic and nervousness.
Seeing him like this, Sang Qian found it both funny and a little heartbreaking.
She deliberately cleared her throat, sat up straight like him, and said in a serious tone, "Some people say that if two people love each other, then every day they are together is Valentine's Day."
Under the soft ambient lighting, the woman's bright almond-shaped eyes clearly held affection, and Jin Changyu's heart suddenly stirred.
What I wanted to say was...
Sang Qian moved the bowl of dessert in front of him closer to him. "Mr. Jin, we're on a date right now. Don't overthink it. Just enjoy it, okay?"
He had overlooked such an important holiday, but instead of being angry, she comforted him.
What kind of fairy-like wife did he marry?
The nervousness, unease, and shame in his heart were soothed by her words. Jin Changyu couldn't help but reach out and grasp her hand, which she hadn't had time to withdraw, and hold it tightly in his hand.
With a slight bob in his Adam's apple, he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Sang Qian looked at his reddened eyes, but didn't pull her hand away. She gestured to the dessert in front of him and said, "Try it, it's really delicious."
"good."
Jin Changyu didn't let go of her hand; he used his other hand to hold the spoon and eat.
The smooth sweetness of the dessert spreads from the mouth to the heart.
The set meals were served one after another, and couples gradually sat down at the surrounding tables.
Jin Changyu cut the steak for Sang Qian and placed it back in front of her. As he looked away, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the interaction between a couple at a table diagonally opposite him.
The boy magically produced a bouquet of flowers and gave it to the girl. The girl was overjoyed and happily leaned over to kiss him.
Jin Changyu's eyelids twitched, and he looked away, only to have another couple's table come into view—
The man placed an exquisite gift box in front of the woman and said with a smile, "Happy Valentine's Day."
The woman accepted the gift, her face beaming with joy.
Jin Changyu: "..."
He glanced silently at the woman sitting opposite him, who was eating the steak he had cut, and his eyes filled with guilt and apology.
People usually send flowers or gifts, but what about him?
Not only did he not prepare anything, but his wife even arranged the dinner for their date.
"Shallowly..."
He was about to speak when a scream suddenly came from the side. He and Sang Qian looked over at the same time and saw a couple at a table proposing on the spot.
The boy knelt on one knee in front of the girl with a ring in his hand and made a heartfelt confession. A musician played music for him beside him. The girl covered her mouth and shed tears of emotion. Several tables around them applauded for them.
Some people even shouted, "Marry him!"
When the girl nodded and the boy put the ring on her finger, almost the entire restaurant was applauding and sending their blessings.
Sang Qian was one of them.
The jubilant atmosphere at the scene reached its peak.
Sang Qian looked at the two people embracing tightly, a smile on her face.
Jin Changyu saw that her eyes held only pure appreciation and blessings, without a trace of comparison or disappointment.
Even if she didn't receive flowers or gifts today, she still had to treat him to dinner.
She wasn't unhappy.
Instead, let him enjoy the date.
After a while, the waiter brought a small box of chocolates to each table, saying it was a gift from the husband who had just successfully proposed to everyone present.
Sang Qian held up the heart-shaped box of chocolates and waved it at Jin Changyu, saying smugly, "See? I told you sitting in the lobby was better than sitting in a private room. You can even share in their joy."
Looking at her smiling face, Jin Changyu also smiled and praised, "Yes, my wife is indeed farsighted."
After finishing their meal, the two went to the central square.
Because it was Valentine's Day, the central square was much more lively than the previous two times I visited.
Looking around, all you see are couples, and the square is decorated in a very romantic and appropriate way.
This was Jin Changyu's first time in such an environment. He was somewhat surprised, happy, and a little nervous.
Now that Sang Qian is heavily pregnant and there are many people around, he is always worried that someone will bump into her. He holds her hand tightly the whole way, protecting her by his side, and also keeping a close eye on her surroundings without making a sound.
"Did Assistant Gao tell you that on the third visit, the two of you have to walk across that bridge once for things to truly reconcile?"
Sang Qian pointed to the arched bridge illuminated by colorful lights and asked him.
