Ruan Mianmian didn't expect that Mrs. Susan would actually invite her and Qin Zheng to dinner at the Oriental Hotel.
Ruan Mianmian knew that the Oriental Hotel was one of the oldest foreign-funded hotels in Guangzhou.
It was built in the early sixties.
It is also a representative landmark building in Guangzhou.
The price of a meal here may cost an ordinary worker several months' salary.
Seeing Ruan Mianmian looking around intently, Mrs. Susan asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like the environment here? Then let's go to another one."
Mrs. Susan is a frequent visitor to the Oriental Hotel. When she first came to China, she lived here for a long time. She was very satisfied with the restaurant here.
She didn't move out until her husband found a suitable place to live.
So, subconsciously, she brought people here.
"No, you misunderstood. I didn't dislike it. It was just my first time here, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances." Ruan Mianmian said very frankly.
It was her first time here, so there was nothing she couldn't say.
The current decoration style of the Oriental Hotel is still in line with the public aesthetics, but it is a little more gorgeous than what the public can accept. So it is still worth seeing.
Mrs. Susan smiled and said nothing. She took everyone directly to the restaurant and sat in her favorite seat.
The waiter brought the menu, and Mrs. Susan handed it to Ruan Mianmian out of politeness, saying, "The dishes here are all delicious, and you can't go wrong with anything you order."
Ruan Mianmian accepted Mrs. Susan's kindness, ordered a dish she wanted, and then handed the menu to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng did not answer the call, but directly told the waiter the name of a dish.
When Mrs. Susan saw that both of them had ordered, she ordered two dishes she liked.
While waiting for the food to be served, Mrs. Susan introduced herself to Ruan Mianmian and Qin Zheng very solemnly.
"My name is Susan Adams, but everyone prefers to call me Mrs. Susan. You can also call me that. My husband Alan Adams is the European commercial ambassador to China. He is busy with work every day. I have been here for almost a year, and he has not had a proper candlelight dinner with me. Sometimes, I feel like I am unmarried~"
Mrs. Susan's self-deprecation greatly eased the atmosphere.
Ruan Mianmian also introduced herself generously, "My name is Ruan Mianmian, and my name means soft and warm. This is my friend, Qin Zheng. His name describes the sound of metal and jade colliding."
Foreigners' names are relatively casual. She knew before that Mrs. Susan was very interested in Chinese culture and writing, so she solemnly introduced the meaning of her and Qin Zheng's names.
When Mrs. Susan heard it, she really liked it. She knew that Chinese names all have meanings, but she didn't expect them to be so interesting.
Then, she seemed to have just realized it, with a look of disbelief on her face, "He's just your friend?! Oh, my God, I thought you were a couple?! After all, you look so compatible. Age, appearance, everything is perfect."
Ruan Mianmian's face looked a little embarrassed, but she immediately covered it up with a smile.
What's more, this is not the first person to say that she and Qin Zheng are husband and wife.
Once is new, twice is familiar.
Qin Zheng said seriously, "We are not husband and wife yet, but I am working hard for it."
Mrs. Susan looked as if she understood. "Are you still pursuing our beautiful Ruan?"
The pronunciation of the three words "Ruan Mianmian" was a bit difficult for Mrs. Susan to pronounce, so she simply said just the last name.
"Yes. Lady Susan. I am pursuing her." Qin Zheng admitted openly. Ruan Mianmian was so embarrassed that she reached under the table and wanted to twist Qin Zheng's thigh to stop him from talking nonsense.
As a result, the muscle was so hard that she couldn't twist it at all, and it almost knocked her nails off.
Qin Zheng took the opportunity to hold Ruan Mianmian's hand with his palm. His face was still calm.
Her hand was held, and Ruan Mianmian was stunned for only a second before she began to pull it back with force.
But Qin Zheng’s strength is just a joke.
Ruan Mianmian couldn't even move.
The two men were exchanging witty remarks under the table, but their upper bodies remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
Mrs. Susan saw all of this and couldn't stop smiling.
Being young is good. The vitality of young people is the most precious thing.
She also missed her youth when she had just met Alan and they had such a beautiful and sweet time.
However, in a blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed. She is no longer young, and Alan is no longer young.
After Ruan Mianmian tried many times to withdraw her hand without success, she gave up.
So be it, she didn't believe he could keep holding it.
He will probably let go when we eat later.
Feeling that the people around him were no longer resisting, Qin Zheng quietly loosened his grip and stopped clenching so tightly.
However, her hand was still held in his.
He thought clearly this time that his progress was too slow. It was time to speed up.
It wasn't so convenient when I was in Xiangyang Brigade. Not only was the information there blocked, but the acceptance of many things was also low.
He also didn't want to bring any trouble to her because of himself.
But now they are in Guangzhou, the environment and atmosphere are different.
He now has the right time and place. If he doesn't take action, when will he be able to get married?
The restaurant serves food very quickly.
After a while, all the dishes they ordered were served.
Ruan Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, and with an effort, she successfully freed her hand from Qin Zheng's clutches.
She also deliberately looked at Qin Zheng and waved her hands in front of his eyes before picking up the cutlery and starting to eat.
Qin Zheng didn't say a word, but he was very happy in his heart. Even the food tasted better to him than before. He wondered if they had changed the cook.
After the meal, Mrs. Susan liked Ruan Mianmian even more.
She had seen many Chinese women, many of whom were very reserved, and some even had a slight sense of inferiority from the inside out. She didn't understand why, so she could only choose to respect them.
Unexpectedly, she did not see any restraint or inferiority in this new Miss Ruan. Instead, she was generous, youthful, and energetic.
Mrs. Susan privately felt that a big country like China should have someone like Miss Ruan.
But now I don't know why it has become a little dull.
