The two followed the waiter inside. It was very quiet along the way, as if there was no one else there except Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye.
As soon as they entered the coffee shop, music started playing.
Duan Ye looked over and saw that someone was playing the violin and someone was playing the piano.
Duan Ye was shocked: "You prepared this?"
Luo Qingyuan nodded with a smile: "Of course, who else would it be?"
Duan Ye, looking bewildered, followed Luo Qingyuan to her seat. The waiter in the suit came over again with the menu: "Sir, you can order now."
Duan Ye looked at Luo Qingyuan: "Why don't you do it?"
Luo Qingyuan smiled and shook her head: "You come."
So Duan Ye could only open the menu. The menu had many steaks and dishes, but most importantly, there was no price listed for any of them.
Duan Ye hesitated for a moment before ordering steak, pasta, and a few other simple dishes, plus two cups of coffee.
"Okay, let's go ahead with it like this."
The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, sir."
Duan Ye looked around and found that apart from them and the waiter, there was no one else there.
Duan Ye: "You didn't book the whole place, did you?"
Luo Qingyuan feigned ignorance: "Book the whole place? I've already paid for everything, how could I possibly book the whole place?"
Duan Ye paused for three seconds, then said, "Then this..."
Luo Qingyuan waved, and a waiter ran over: "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
Luo Qingyuan: "Why are there only the two of us here?"
The waiter was sweating profusely. Didn't you, boss, say it was a private event? Why did you make her lie?
But the waiter quickly changed his mind and said with a smile, "Because someone booked the whole place after 10 p.m. tonight, our boss cleared the place early. You made your reservation just before we were clearing it, so you're the only table here right now."
After saying that, the young man glanced at Luo Qingyuan nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Luo Qingyuan's expression had not changed.
Duan Ye: "Oh, I see. We're really lucky then."
Luo Qingyuan laughed: "Of course, you should know who invited you."
The waiter quietly withdrew; he was drenched in sweat from that shift.
The boss's tricks for wooing men are so old-fashioned! But the young man was envious. Who cares if it's old-fashioned or not, as long as he puts in the effort, that's good enough.
The steak and pasta arrived quickly.
The steak was huge, and the pasta portion was also very generous, like two servings at other restaurants.
Duan Ye: "Is this Western restaurant really that honest?"
Luo Qingyuan: "The owner of this shop is really honest. You can come here often if you want to eat here in the future."
As Duan Ye cut the steak for Luo Qingyuan, he said, "Wife, will you reimburse me?"
Luo Qingyuan raised an eyebrow: "My project bonus will arrive next month, and I'll deposit it directly into your account. You can eat whatever you want."
Duan Ye: "How much is the project bonus?"
Luo Qingyuan held up five fingers.
Duan Ye: "Five thousand?"
Luo Qingyuan shook her head, and Duan Ye exclaimed in surprise: "Fifty thousand?!"
Luo Qingyuan nodded.
Duan Ye: "Damn it! I can't keep doing this 8,000 yuan job anymore!"
Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.
His brother has worked at Henglun for over two years and only makes a little over 20,000 yuan. Luo Qingyuan is just too amazing!
By that logic, Duan Ye really is a bit useless.
But... the feeling of being a nobody is actually quite enjoyable.
Luo Qingyuan: "You've only been out of school for a short time, there's no need to be too hard on yourself. These days, it's rare for a young person to earn 8,000 yuan right after graduation."
"Even in Kyoto, it's the same. People should be content with what they have."
Duan Ye handed the cut steak to Luo Qingyuan: "I have always been content with what I have. My grandfather said that having a stable job, having loved ones by your side, having a house and a car, having a few close friends, having healthy parents, and not having to struggle for a living is already the best way of life."
Luo Qingyuan suddenly realized: "Yes, this kind of life is ordinary but very pleasant. Grandpa is amazing. I can't wait to see Grandpa."
Duan Ye: "We can go home together next week."
"By the way, my brother and my parents will also be going back, along with my eldest cousin and his wife. I don't know if my second brother will come back."
Luo Qingyuan's heart jumped instantly.
Although meeting the parents is inevitable, she doesn't know why, but she always feels a little anxious.
Duan Ye comforted him, "Don't worry, my family members are all very gentle and easy to get along with. My grandma is from Zhijiang, and she's incredibly kind. You'll definitely like her."
"Zhijiang? Was your grandmother an only child?"
Duan Ye: "No, she also has an older brother who has been my grandfather's comrade-in-arms for many years."
"My grandmother, in my memory, always spoke softly, and she had a very good relationship with my grandfather."
Hearing Duan Ye say that, Luo Qingyuan felt a little relieved: "That's good, then I'm not so nervous anymore."
"There's no need to be nervous. The people I love and my family will all like them."
Luo Qingyuan was slightly taken aback, then looked up: "You mean, I'm the person you love?"
Duan Ye felt inexplicably embarrassed, but still nodded: "Yes, the person I love."
Luo Qingyuan wanted to tease him a bit, but she couldn't suppress her laughter, so she simply lowered her head and ate while silently smiling, making the atmosphere a little sweet.
Luo Qingyuan: "Then why don't you tell me what your family members like?" She needs to prepare a generous gift.
