Chapter 139 Or, if you want to go home, I'll cook for you tonight?
After leaving the studio and getting into the car, Jin Changyu said to Sang Qian, "There's a nice Chinese restaurant near the central square. I heard the food is delicious. Let's go there tonight."
Central Square?
It seems to be quite far from here.
Sang Qian asked, "Why don't you just go home to eat?"
"Aunt Li has something to do tonight, so I gave her the day off."
Jin Changyu raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Or, if you want to go home, I'll cook for you tonight?"
Sang Qian quickly said, "Let's go to that Chinese restaurant you mentioned."
Jin Changyu, “…”
*
Sang Qian thought it was an ordinary restaurant, but when she arrived, she realized it was a very traditional Chinese courtyard restaurant with antique and exquisite decorations, soft lighting, and an elegant and quiet environment.
The waiter ushered the two into a private room and asked Jin Changyu, "Mr. Jin, may we begin serving the dishes now?"
"Can."
After the waiter left, Jin Changyu said to Sang Qian, "I asked the head chef here to recommend some dishes that are suitable for pregnant women. They can be served soon."
He was worried she might be hungry, so he made preparations in advance.
Sang Qian nodded.
Soon, the dishes were served one after another.
Jin Changyu placed food into Sang Qian's bowl one by one, saying, "Try it and see how it tastes."
Sang Qian picked up a slice of lotus root from the bowl and took a bite.
Crisp and sweet.
Jin Changyu looked at her expectantly, "Is it to your liking?"
"Hmm, not bad." Sang Qian nodded. "The taste is excellent, and the presentation is also outstanding."
Upon hearing this, Jin Changyu was overjoyed and was about to say, "If you like the food here, we'll come more often in the future."
Before she could even speak, she saw Sang Qian put down her chopsticks and pick up her phone to take pictures.
He patted the dishes on the table and then patted the surrounding environment.
Gao Ze once said that nowadays girls like to take photos to record their dates and meals, and it seems like they also want to take photos with the food.
Thinking of this, Jin Changyu quickly put down his chopsticks and asked considerately, "Do you want me to take a picture for you?"
"ah?"
Sang Qian was clearly taken aback for a moment, turned her head to look at him, and then explained, "Oh, no need. I just thought the environment here seemed quite suitable for a date. I took a picture to show Luo Luo and Da Hai. If they are interested, they can come here for a date and dinner."
Jin Changyu's lips curled into a pleased smile.
She realized that this place was for dating.
Just as she was feeling secretly pleased, she heard Sang Qian mutter, "If I want to eat here in the future, I can ask the two of them to come with me."
Upon hearing this, Jin Changyu's smile froze. "You don't need to make arrangements with them. If you want to come, I can come with you anytime."
Sang Qian was still taking pictures with her phone, and without turning her head, she said, "No need to trouble you, you're so busy."
"I'm not busy, I want to spend time with you."
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian paused in her actions and turned to look at him.
Seeing her frown slightly, Jin Changyu's heart tightened. Afraid of offending her, he quickly added, "I mean... even when I'm busy, I still have to eat, and I also like coming here."
"So, if you want to come, we can arrange to come together. You don't necessarily have to look for Miss Su and the others."
Because he lacked confidence, his voice grew softer and softer as he spoke his last sentence.
Sang Qian was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, there was a light knock on the door, followed by a waiter bringing in the dishes.
The two remained silent until the waiter finished serving the food and left, after which the room returned to quiet.
"Let's eat first."
Sang Qian picked up her chopsticks and started eating, ending the previous topic.
She didn't actually say she wanted Luo Luo and the others to accompany her; they were just the kind of people she would instinctively think of for meals.
After all, these two close friends had been by her side all those years. Even during the two years of her marriage, because Jin Changyu was busy and spent little time with her, she usually asked Luo Luo and Da Hai to accompany her to the places she wanted to go.
After finishing their meal, the two left the restaurant. Jin Changyu suggested, "Since it's still early, why don't we go for a stroll in the central square next door?"
"?"
Unexpectedly, he would make such a request. Sang Qian looked at him with a strange gaze, only to find that he looked completely at ease.
so--
He didn't know... that the central square was actually a popular spot for couples to go on dates after dinner?
"Just treat it as a post-meal digestive aid."
Jin Changyu said to her calmly, "Besides, taking a walk in the evening is also good for the baby's health, right?"
Touching her belly, Sang Qian didn't refuse, "Okay, let's go then."
The central square is very lively at night.
Many young men and women strolled hand in hand along the riverbank or browsed snacks and bought interesting things in the square.
Neon lights flickered all around, and soft, gentle music caressed my ears; the air here seemed to carry a sweet, romantic atmosphere.
This was the first time Sang Qian had taken a stroll with Jin Changyu in this kind of atmosphere.
She glanced at the man beside her without making a sound, and noticed that the usually indifferent man had a smile in his eyes, as if he was quite happy and liked the place.
"Haven't you been here before?" she couldn't help but ask.
Jin Changyu shook his head.
If Gao Ze hadn't told him this was a great place for a date, he would have had no idea it was like this at night.
Sang Qian shook her head and sighed inwardly: No wonder, look at this arrogant young master, he seems so unsophisticated.
Glancing at the couples holding hands by the river, Jin Changyu had a little thought: "The riverside looks nice, shall we go for a walk there?"
Sang Qian didn't notice his expression and replied, "Okay."
The walkway along the river is wide, and the lighting is slightly dimmer than that in the square.
The two walked quietly when Sang Qian glanced up and saw a couple passionately kissing under a dimly lit tree ahead.
"..."
She looked away, somewhat embarrassed.
The next second, her hand was enveloped by a large, warm hand. Sang Qian's long eyelashes trembled, and she heard Jin Changyu's whisper in her ear.
"Let's go that way."
Before Sang Qian could react, Jin Changyu took her hand and led her to a fork in the road opposite to the direction where the kissing couple were.
Clearly, he also saw the loving couple.
After walking quite a distance, Sang Qian noticed that the large hand holding hers showed no sign of letting go.
Just as Sang Qian was about to ask him to let go of her, a boy suddenly walked up to her and said, "Hey you two, interested in drawing portraits on the spot? 50 yuan a portrait."
Sang Qian glanced at the easels and stools he had set up for people to paint on the spot, and politely shook her head at him.
"Sister, I'm not a scammer, I'm a college student, and I've been setting up my stall all day but it hasn't opened yet."
The boy clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Brother and sister, you two look like a well-matched and kind couple. Please have some compassion and give me a prescription, okay?"
"We are not..." a couple.
Sang Qian was about to explain when the man beside her interrupted her, "It's not easy for a college student to not be able to open for a day. Let's draw one to encourage a self-reliant and ambitious student."
