Chapter 96: An Appointment
Yan Ai promised her father that she would go back to have lunch with him at noon, and also made an appointment with An Chi to have Western food in the evening.
Having stood up her senior for a month, she couldn't break the appointment this time no matter what.
Yan Ai rested at home for a while, then went to a nearby supermarket to buy some fresh ingredients, planning to cook a big meal for her father at noon.
Yan Zexun had to attend a meeting at school in the morning, so when he came back at noon, he was surprised to smell the fragrance of food again.
During the meal, Yan Ai talked to her father about what she saw and heard during her "travel and field trip" this month, and Yan Zexun also told his daughter some interesting things that happened in class.
After lunch, Yan Zexun had to rush back to school to continue the meeting.
Yan Ai was worried that she would meet Feng Jue again if she went back to Lake Coast, so she simply stayed at her father's house until an hour before the time she had agreed to meet An Chi, and then she went out to keep the appointment.
At six o'clock in the evening, the two of them arrived at the high-end Western restaurant recommended by Yan Ai on time.
Although they had not been in contact for a month, An Chi knew from Yan Ai's circle of friends that she had traveled to three places this month. He naturally thought that Yan Ai went out to travel in search of new writing inspiration. As her editor-in-chief, he naturally brought up this topic.
"Is your new book already taking shape?"
After the two ordered the food, An Chi took the initiative to ask about this matter.
"There are some clues, but it's still in the conceptual stage." Yan Ai said with a smile.
In fact, her smile was a little guilty. In fact, most of her writing inspiration came from the sudden ideas she had when doing scientific research, not from traveling around.
However, she had to continue to disguise herself and also had to do some homework to understand the customs and habits of different places in advance, so as not to be exposed when asked relevant questions. Therefore, she sometimes had to spend her rest time in these places.
She had learned about the place through text, pictures or videos, and she thought she had really been there.
When An Chi heard her say that the new book was indeed coming out, he asked with great interest, "Can you tell me a little bit about it?"
Yan Ai continued to deceive, "This has to be kept secret for now. I need to think about it more."
An Chi nodded and said with a hearty smile, "It's okay. Mystery has always been a selling point of your books."
Although he really wanted to know in advance.
Then the two changed the topic and chatted for a while, and the dishes they had just ordered were brought up one after another.
An Chi looked at the Western food in front of him and suddenly asked, "School girl, do we want some red wine?"
He always felt that if he didn't have red wine when dining in such a stylish Western restaurant, it would feel like something was missing.
Yan Ai didn't like drinking, but she didn't refuse directly. She just said, "The red wine here should be very good, but I can't drink much, and I have to drive later."
An Chi smiled and said, "If you can't drink much, then just drink a little bit. Just think of it as accompanying me. When we go back later, we can find a designated driver."
"Well, let's have a bottle then." Yan Ai said that she would treat the senior to a meal, so naturally she had to make sure the guest had a good time.
So the two of them ordered another bottle of red wine, which cost about 10,000 yuan.
When the red wine came up, An Chi said, "This bottle of red wine is for you, so don't fight with me, junior sister."
The consumption here is very expensive. An Chi certainly knows that Yan Ai can afford it. She is currently the best-selling science fiction novelist. The royalties alone every year are enough for her to enjoy a carefree life for the rest of her life.
But this bottle of red wine is a token of his love.
