The alluring sight of delicately arranged dishes caught Ning Xuan’s eye, and all she could do was stand aside and sigh at how the wealthy knew how to enjoy life.
Not only were the ingredients of high quality, but the presentation was equally impressive!
Ning Xuan’s forthright gaze captured Song Yue’s attention. Glancing over, he saw Ning Xuan half-leaning towards him, looking dazzling and smelling a little sweet.
Taken aback, the confused Song Yue said, "Why are you standing? Sit next to me."
The remark left the other five people present stunned, and they all had the same thought: ’Can she sit here?’
"Can I sit?" Ning Xuan wore an even more surprised expression, leaning in even closer and whispering in Song Yue’s ear. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The sweet scent was heavier now. However, Ning Xuan didn’t smell of expensive perfume, but instead bore the aroma of various laundry detergents.
Yet ...
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t too bad?
Having thought of this, Song Yue blushed at the sight of Ning Xuan. He was annoyed but also found himself increasingly attracted to her.
Seriously ... can’t she be a little restrained in public ...
"You can sit; we’re just here for a casual meal." Song Yue confidently nodded his confirmation.
Ning Xuan, in turn, sat down quickly.
The other four glanced at Song Yue then at Ning Xuan, their minds filled with wild thoughts.
So, Song Yue’s love life isn’t as clear-cut as rumored ...?
An office romance with his secretary?
Jiang Yi had an even bigger reaction, her eyes volleying between Song Yue and Ning Xuan, especially Ning Xuan. If looks could kill, Ning Xuan would be dead a thousand times over.
Nevertheless, everyone at the table had no objections to Song Yue’s decision. After all, he was the boss, and his word was law.
As the waiter continued to serve dishes, Song Yue gave a timely directive, "Bring another set of dinnerware."
"Alright."
Upon the waiter’s response, a new set of dinnerware was promptly brought for Ning Xuan, and everyone soon began to enjoy the dishes on the table.
The men were discussing business while Jiang Yi sat quiet, frequently glancing at Ning Xuan, prodding her food with her chopsticks as if venting her frustration.
In contrast, Ning Xuan was more at ease, quietly eating next to Song Yue without saying anything.
The feast wasn’t complete without wine, an absolute necessity.
Soon, a waiter brought several glasses of pre-poured red wine and placed a glass before each man. The waiter spoke with a gentle voice, "This is a complimentary benefit from our restaurant, an excellent vintage wine with a great taste. I recommend that everyone give it a try."
While speaking, the waiter handed out glasses to the men; the last one went to Song Yue.
Because women were not recommended to drink, Jiang Yi and Ning Xuan were served freshly squeezed juice.
No one found it strange, and Song Yue quickly finished his glass of wine.
In an unnoticeable corner, the female waiter exchanged a smile and a glance with Jiang Yi.
Absorbed in shelling her crab, Ning Xuan accidently saw this and thought: ?
Do they know each other?
"What are you doing?" After a few glasses, Song Yue’s face was slightly flushed. He turned to Ning Xuan, who was in a conversation with the other three men, and asked her.
Hearing the question, Ning Xuan quickly averted her gaze and stared intently at the table, replying, "I’m shelling a crab."
"You’re doing a terrible job."
