Shen Zhi Qiu was utterly stunned by this series of actions. She turned around and watched Gu Qing Yan's figure grow smaller and smaller through the car window, silently giving Rong Mo a thumbs up. "Brother, you're amazing! I admire you so much!"
Rong Mo chuckled, took Shen Zhi Qiu's fingers in his hand, and looked at her, saying, "That's how you deal with shameless people like this. I don't want him eating at the same table as us; just looking at his face annoys me."
I don't want to bother you or spoil your meal.
"Now that's great, even just us eating here, the food will taste better."
Shen Zhi Qiu nodded in high spirits, then leaned back and naturally rested her head on Lu Jia's shoulder.
Seeing this, Rong Mo reached out to pull Shen Zhi Qiu closer, saying, "Lu Jia isn't fully recovered yet, you should lean on me."
Shen Zhi Qiu was taken aback and quickly apologized to Lu Jia, admitting that she hadn't thought much before leaning against him.
"It's okay. I can do it." Lu Jia looked down at Shen Zhi Qiu's face, which was so close to hers, and was filled with joy.
Seeing that Lu Jia had said this, Rong Mo stopped pressing the matter and withdrew his hand with a smile.
Shen Zhi Qiu got out of the car and was somewhat surprised to see that the first floor of the restaurant was full. She turned to Rong Mo and said, "Brother, are these all shills you hired?"
Rong Mo was amused by her, patted her head, and said affectionately, "How could that be? I'll let you manage it for now, but all the money earned will go into your pocket. You can see later whether I paid someone to do it."
"Mr. Rong." When store manager Linda saw Rong Mo arrive, she quickly stepped forward to greet him. "The terrace space you requested has been prepared for you. Let me take you up there."
As he spoke, he glanced at the pregnant Shen Zhi Qiu, wondering who she was that Rong Mo had personally called to reserve a location and given him many instructions.
"Let me introduce you. This is Miss Shen, my sister," Rong Mo said to Linda after settling Shen Zhi Qiu in.
"Miss Shen?" Linda immediately realized that the restaurant owner's surname was Shen, but she had never met him since the restaurant opened. Last time when Shen Zhi Qiu and the others came, she happened to be out on business and so they didn't meet.
"Yes, she is the owner of this restaurant," Rong Mo said briefly. "But she is currently pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to manage the restaurant. She will gradually take over the restaurant's affairs after giving birth. I'm just letting you know today that she is the actual owner of the restaurant."
“Okay, hello boss, I’m the store manager here, just call me Linda. Please feel free to ask me anything.” Linda said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work," Shen Zhi Qiu replied with a smile.
"Serve the food," Rong Mo instructed, then handed the dessert menu to Shen Zhi Qiu and said gently, "Take a look and see what dessert you'd like to have later. The new desserts are pretty good and not too sweet."
"Brother, it's up to you. I'm fine with anything," Shen Zhi Qiu said with a smile.
"Then bring out all the newest desserts. You can see which ones you like, and next time you don't want to come out, you can have the restaurant deliver them directly to your home." Rong Mo closed the menu and handed it to Linda.
Perhaps because she was in a great mood, Shen Zhi Qiu ate more than usual at lunch today, and the food tasted better. She even found every dish to be exceptionally delicious.
After finishing her dessert, Shen Zhi Qiu saw that Lu Jia and Rong Mo had both ordered a cup of coffee, and she started to feel the urge to have one too.
"Have you forgotten? The doctor said that it's not suitable to drink anything containing caffeine in late pregnancy, as it will stimulate the central nervous system and is not good for your health." Lu Jia lowered her head and gently coaxed Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Ugh, this is awful. Didn't the doctor say I could drink just a little bit? He didn't say it was strictly forbidden. I haven't had any in ages." Shen Zhi Qiu rubbed her stomach dejectedly. "I have to endure it for about another month!"
"I'm going out for a bit." Rong Mo stood up, made a phone call, and walked outside.
"Then I won't drink it either, okay?" Lu Jia put the coffee cup in her hand aside, gently rubbed Shen Zhi Qiu's head, and then picked up the orange on the table and started peeling it.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked at Lu Jia's sharply defined profile. He lowered his head, his slender fingers carefully peeling an orange, his eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.
As she looked at the table, Shen Zhi Qiu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. She rested her elbows on the table, propped her chin on her hand, and said to Lu Jia, "Lu Jia, will you treat me like this for the rest of your life?"
"Yes." Lu Jia looked up, her hands still moving, and answered her with a sincere expression.
“But people change.” Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips, somewhat disbelieving, and muttered to herself.
"I won't change." Lu Jia placed the orange on the plate, tore off a tissue to wipe the crumbs off her fingers, then pulled Shen Zhi Qiu's hand and made her face him.
“Zhi Qiu, I promise I will never change. I cherish every moment I spend with you. Even if,” Lu Jia paused, “even if one day you don’t need me anymore, I will not blame you.”
"Why are you so good to me?" Shen Zhi Qiu looked at him questioningly. "There are many beautiful girls in this world, you don't necessarily have to..."
"I don't know what others are like, but I like you, and I only like you. Admittedly, there is no shortage of beautiful girls in this world, but none of them are you."
"Zhi Qiu, I'm so grateful that you let me stay by your side. These are the happiest days of my life." Lu Jia looked at her sincerely.
“But my child…” Shen Zhi Qiu sighed, unsure how to say it, as she felt that whatever she said would make Lu Jia feel wronged.
