A Western restaurant for couples, inside a private dining room for couples.
When Su Jin came in, Qin Wan had already started eating. Huo Yu, perhaps feeling a pang of conscience, or perhaps simply having no appetite, hadn't started eating yet.
Seeing him enter, Huo Yu said calmly, "You've arrived."
Su Jin glanced at Huo Yu, then at Qin Wan, and then at the couple's set meal on the table. He pursed his thin lips and fell into an eerie silence.
"Are you two... really just manager and artist?"
Qin Wan paused in her steak eating, glanced at Su Jin indifferently, and said nothing.
Huo Yu casually pulled out a tissue and handed it to Qin Wan, pointing to the corner of her mouth, "Wipe it off."
"Okay," Qin Wan replied and accepted it.
Even though there was no overly intimate interaction, and Huo Yu didn't wipe Qin Wan's mouth, Su Jin still felt something was off...
I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but something just feels off.
"Otherwise what?" Huo Yu asked instead of answering, his eyes sweeping over him indifferently.
Su Jin: "..."
Even though the two people in front of her looked completely at ease, without the slightest hint of guilt at being caught, Su Jin still felt something was off.
For some reason, he felt that the relationship between Qin Wan and Huo Yu was more than just a simple working relationship between an agent and an artist.
"Then why did you book a restaurant for couples?"
"The meal was a couple's set meal."
"It's a couples' private room!"
"Don't you think there's a problem?" Su Jin asked with a suspicious look.
Huo Yu glanced at him indifferently, "This shop is one of my properties."
Su Jin: "..." This explanation is perfect.
"As for the private rooms..." Huo Yu paused for a moment, then tugged at the corner of his mouth and said perfunctorily.
Isn't it normal for a restaurant catering to couples to only have private rooms for couples?
Su Jin: "..." That makes so much sense, I can't even refute it.
Huo Yu glanced at him indifferently, "As for the set meals, the same applies to the private rooms."
Su Jin: "..."
"Then...then why not just sit in the lobby?" Su Jin retorted stubbornly, her voice trembling with barely conscious rebuttal.
Huo Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced at him indifferently, asking, "Are you sure?"
Upon hearing this, Su Jin subconsciously turned to look at the hall behind her...
Couples were gazing lovingly at each other.
Some fed each other directly, while others couldn't bear to let go of each other's hands even while eating.
Some exchanged sweet smiles.
Others were clinking glasses and drinking fine wine, their eyes filled with affection.
The three of them... seemed out of place in the restaurant.
Okay, he had nothing more to say.
Su Jin looked away in frustration, then lowered his eyes to look at Huo Yu in front of him. He raised his leg and gently kicked Huo Yu's shoe.
"Sit in a little more, let's squeeze in together."
The couples' private rooms have tables for two, but to ensure comfort, the rooms are large and spacious, with enough room for four people to sit.
Huo Yu stiffened for a moment, and for a brief instant, he suddenly regretted making the private room so comfortable and spacious.
If the space is cramped and can only seat two people, then will Su Jin have no choice but to give up?
"Huo Yu?"
What are you spacing out about?
"Either you move in a little further to make room for me, or you move out and I'll sit inside. It's one of the two choices, so hurry up and pick one."
Huo Yubing's cold gaze swept over Su Jin, his thin lips pursed slightly, but he still stood up.
"You sit inside," Huo Yu said with a displeased expression.
Seeing his gloomy face, Su Jin frowned and muttered softly, "Who on earth is the fool who provoked you?"
What Su Jin found most unbelievable was that she didn't know who had such great ability to anger Huo Yu to this extent.
Qin Wan paused in her sipping of red wine, then lazily glanced at Su Jin.
This guy is really just naturally a bit dim-witted.
No wonder the original owner's unrequited love lasted for many years.
One lacks the courage to speak up, and the other is a bit slow on the uptake; they simply won't react unless spoken to directly.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan shook her head and chuckled softly, then drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.
The bright red wine gradually disappeared between her red lips...
Looking at the faint curve of Qin Wan's lips, and recalling the doting look she gave Su Jinshi just now, Huo Yu pursed his thin lips, feeling utterly miserable.
Childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little!!!
She even had a crush on him!
Even though it's all in the past, her feelings for Su Jin were still very obvious!
Thinking of this, and looking at the steak and red wine in front of him, Huo Yu had no appetite at all.
Su Jin, on the other hand, was eating with great relish and was very engrossed in it.
To maintain her figure, Qin Wan didn't eat much. She only took a few bites before stopping and sitting quietly to the side.
"Why aren't you moving?" Qin Wan seemed to only then notice Huo Yu's strange behavior and asked with concern.
[Huo Yu's favorability decreased by 2, current favorability is 36.]
Qin Wan: "?"
"No appetite?" Qin Wan asked.
"..." Huo Yu pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
"...Unhappy?" Qin Wan asked again.
"..." Huo Yu stared at her with an awkward gaze.
Their eyes met, and Qin Wan paused almost imperceptibly when she saw the accusatory look in Huo Yu's eyes.
"Is it... because of me?" Qin Wan hesitated for a second before asking tentatively.
Huo Yu remained silent, but the look in his eyes as he gazed at Qin Wan changed, as if he were moved.
Seeing this, Qin Wan frowned slightly, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Su Jin beside her.
At that time, Su Jin was immersed in the happiness of the delicious food. He noticed the undercurrent between Qin Wan and Huo Yu, but did not take it to heart.
It wasn't until Qin Wan looked at him with a "strange" gaze that Su Jin looked up and met her eyes in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Su Jin asked while eating.
It has to be said that Huo Yu is a man who really knows how to do business.
Even though it's a small restaurant for couples, everything from the ambiance and service to the food is perfect.
No wonder this store is so popular!
Thinking of this, Su Jin unconsciously quickened her eating pace.
Seeing this, a faint sense of helplessness appeared in Qin Wan's eyes.
One is sensitive, the other is carefree.
One is a jealous person, the other is a bit dim-witted.
For some reason, I feel these two are strangely compatible...
The thought only appeared in Qin Wan's mind for a moment before disappearing.
Huo Yu is her man.
"How about I go shopping with you?"
"I remember there's a food street on the second basement floor of this mall, want to go check it out?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yu was unhappy, but thinking that he could be alone with Qin Wan, he pursed his thin lips and finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Su Jin, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer.
He quickly swallowed the steak in his mouth, put down his knife and fork, and picked up a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth.
"Wait, what's going on between you two?"
"Didn't we want steak?"
"Why would you want to go to the food street again?"
"This steak tastes really good, I'm still not full..."
Su Jin's words carried a hint of grievance and accusation. Clearly, he preferred the delicious-looking steak in front of him to the unreliable food in the snack street.
Meeting Su Jin's accusing eyes, Qin Wan paused almost imperceptibly, then said with an innocent expression...
"What does this have to do with you?"
