"All right."
There are some clean small restaurants near the West Station. Yun Mian thought Chu Yu was talking about this kind of small restaurants, so she agreed.
A meal in a small restaurant like this would take at most forty minutes and would not delay Chu Yu's work.
"Brother Chu, didn't you say it was near the West Station? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
But when Yun Mian woke up after dozing for a while, Chu Yu was still driving forward.
She turned her head and looked out of the car through the side windshield, and rows of neat and tall buildings came into her sight.
The business is prosperous and there are many buildings. It should be some distance away from the West Station.
There were quite a lot of cars on the road. Chu Yu held the steering wheel with both hands and answered without looking away, "Less than two kilometers."
Ten minutes later, the black off-road vehicle finally stopped.
Chu Yu got out of the car and opened the passenger door for Yun Mian.
Yun Mian had just stretched out her legs and was about to get off the car when she saw a young man dressed as a waiter approaching. He looked at Chu Yu with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Chu, how many people are there?"
"Three of you? Still at the same place."
"Okay, Mr. Chu."
After Chu Yu instructed the waiter, he reached out to hold Yun Mian's hand.
Yun Mian and Wang Xiaohu got out of the car and saw an elegant restaurant.
The restaurant is built on the lake. It is midsummer and countless lotus flowers are blooming on the water. The restaurant is surrounded by green lotus leaves and pink and white lotus flowers.
As the lake breeze blew, a faint lotus fragrance penetrated into the noses of the two people.
Yun Mian was stunned. "Didn't you say it was near the West Station?"
After Chu Yu greeted Wang Xiaohu, he took Yun Mian's hand and followed the waiter's steps.
"It's only thirteen kilometers from the West Station. For me, it's very close."
"I thought it was a dumpling restaurant like the one next to No. 1 Middle School."
Wang Xiaohu felt like his eyes had been opened.
"Brother Chu, how much does it cost to have a meal here?"
"It's my treat, you two don't have to save money for me. Order whatever you want later."
Led by the waiter, the three of them soon arrived at a private room with elegant decoration facing a pond full of lotus flowers.
"Mr. Chu, please order."
The waiter walked over to Chu Yu with the menu. Chu Yu took the menu from the waiter and handed it directly to Yun Mian.
"You two order."
Yun Mian took a look at the menu and secretly clicked his tongue.
Was the consumption in Yucheng so high in the 1990s?
"Since Brother Chu said the crystal shrimp dumplings here are delicious, then I'll have one serving of crystal shrimp dumplings."
Yunmian handed the menu to Wang Xiaohu.
"Brother Xiaohu, you order."
When Wang Xiaohu saw the price on the menu, he was so scared that he almost dropped the menu from his hand.
A serving of crystal shrimp dumplings costs NT$120.
"Do you have... fried rice?"
The waiter was stunned.
"The crystal shrimp dumplings here have thin skin and delicious fillings. Little Tiger, you should have one too."
Knowing that Wang Xiaohu wanted to save money for himself, Chu Yu smiled slightly.
So many years have passed, and this kid is still as cute and silly as he was back then.
"Also, give them both a bowl of seafood soup and me a cup of black coffee, thank you."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After the waiter left, Yun Mian frowned and stared at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu felt a little creepy when he was stared at by her.
"Sister Mianmian, why are you staring at me like that? We haven't seen each other for half a year. Do you think I've grown more handsome?"
Chu Yu spoke half-jokingly, trying to ease his nervousness.
This little girl is really getting more and more powerful. She looks serious and even makes him nervous.
"Brother Chu, why are you drinking black coffee so early in the morning?"
Yun Mian's expression remained unchanged.
Black coffee is the bitterest type of coffee without any additives, even more bitter than tea. Although it is good for refreshing the mind, drinking it frequently can easily damage the stomach, especially in the morning.
Without waiting for Chu Yu to answer, Yun Mian spoke again.
"Is it because of the heavy workload and high pressure lately that you feel tired?"
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Feeling Yun Mian's nervousness, Chu Yu felt a warm feeling in his heart. He reached out and held Yun Mian's hand, comforting her with gentle words.
"I got up a little early today and felt a little tired, so I asked the waiter to bring me a drink. I just drink occasionally."
"real?"
Yun Mian stared at him suspiciously.
"If you lie to me and I find out, I'll be angry."
Chu Yu blinked guiltily.
Yun Mian noticed all his little movements and pulled his hand back angrily.
"Brother Chu, please don't lie to me. From childhood to adulthood, you always blink when you lie to me."
Chu Yu had no choice but to tell the truth.
"During this period, the company has launched several projects, and I have a lot of work on my hands, so..."
"So, in order to have more time to handle work, you drink this black coffee to keep you awake."
Yun Mian interrupted him angrily.
"You're already so busy, why don't you just arrange for a driver to pick me and Brother Xiaohu up at the West Station? Why do you have to make this trip yourself?"
"You and Xiao Huzi are my family, people I value. I wouldn't feel comfortable letting other people pick you up."
Seeing that the little girl was angry, Chu Yu rubbed his eyebrows in frustration.
"Besides, I haven't seen you for half a year. I miss you very much and can't wait to see you."
Seeing a hint of fatigue between Chu Yu's brows, Yun Mian couldn't bear to be angry with him anymore. She softened her tone and said, "Brother Chu, I'm not mad at you. I'm worried about you. Drinking too much of this bitter coffee is bad for your health. You can't ignore your health for work. Third Uncle's leg is still recovering, and Grandma Rumeng is old. If you collapse from exhaustion, who will take care of them? How about this, I've recently researched a decoction that can both refresh the mind and nourish the body. I'll prescribe two doses for you to try."
Chu Yu smiled helplessly and reached out to rub Yun Mian's head.
"You want me to be your guinea pig?"
Yun Mian: "Who asked you to be a guinea pig? Even if the medicine I prescribed has no effect, it won't harm your body."
"As long as it's prescribed by Sister Mianmian, I'll take it even if it's poison."
Yun Mian's pretty face turned red and she subconsciously looked at Wang Xiaohu.
Brother Xiaohu is still here.
Wang Xiaohu turned his face away tactfully, pretending that he saw nothing and heard nothing, and that he was just a transparent person.
Soon, the waiter brought two servings of crystal shrimp dumplings, two servings of seafood soup, and a cup of black coffee.
Before the black coffee was even served to Yunmian, she said to the waiter, "Pour this cup of black coffee and serve another serving of seafood soup."
The waiter didn't dare to move and looked at Chu Yu inquiringly.
"Listen to her."
Chu Yu nodded, and the waiter was stunned.
Mr. Chu is a prominent figure in Yucheng. Many business leaders have to be polite to him when they meet him. But this little girl can actually make Mr. Chu obey her every word...
