After eating a matcha-flavored ice cream and receiving flowers from Shang Yanxing, Jiang Susu felt much better and less unhappy.
Looking at the smile on Jiang Susu's face, Shang Yanxing lowered his head and asked, "Madam, are you feeling any better now?"
Although he had never tried to win a girl's heart before, this still counts as putting in effort, right?
Surely it can't have absolutely no effect, right?
Jiang Susu smiled and said happily, "I feel much better. I'm not unhappy anymore. Thank you, Shang Yanxing."
It seemed to be the first time she had someone comfort her when she was in a bad mood.
When he was with Shen Shiyan before, he would only say that she was always throwing a tantrum like a spoiled princess.
Looking at Shang Yanxing in front of her, Jiang Susu realized that she had really been so foolish before.
When she was unhappy, she wanted Shen Kuo to comfort her, but instead she was scolded.
In the end, she didn't receive an apology from him; instead, she admitted her mistake first.
Thinking about it now, I realize I used to be such a love-obsessed person.
"As long as Madam is happy, then our trip has not been in vain."
After saying that, Shang Yanxing prepared to leave with Jiang Susu.
She was holding flowers and ice cream in her hands, following Shang Yanxing somewhat flusteredly.
Where else should we go?
She's feeling much better now and can go home. Where does this man still want to take her?
"It's getting late, let's take Madam to the restaurant for dinner." With Xie Qinglan at Shuixie Villa, he didn't really want to go back.
He preferred the time they spent alone to going back.
So rather than going back to see that woman, he'd rather have a meal alone with the young girl.
"Huh? Dinner? Aren't we going back to Waterside Villa for dinner?"
Jiang Susu was a little confused. Had this man forgotten that there were guests at home?
Shang Yanxing frowned and said, "I'd like to have a meal alone with Madam. Is that alright?"
He had a feeling that the little girl wasn't very willing.
But didn't she dislike Xie Qinglan?
"We still have guests at home. Isn't it inappropriate for us to eat out like this?" Although she didn't really want to go back and see that woman, she also didn't want Shang Yanxing to have a conflict with Xie Qinglan because of her.
"It's alright, someone at home is cooking. Today... I just wanted to have dinner with Madam, the kind where there's no one else around. Madam won't... object, will she?"
Shang Yanxing's words were somewhat difficult to understand, leaving Jiang Susu momentarily bewildered.
Is this man inviting her to dinner?
Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer Shang Yanxing.
He smiled and said again, "What are you daydreaming about, Madam? Don't you really want to have a meal with me? Just keep me company?"
Shang Yanxing observed Jiang Susu's expression, seemingly trying to find some answer from it.
Jiang Susu looked up at Shang Yanxing and asked, "Are you in a bad mood too?"
Why is Shang Yanxing unwilling to return to Shuixie Villa? Is it also because of Xie Qinglan?
Does Shang Yanxing dislike Xie Qinglan?
But weren't they childhood sweethearts?
"Hmm, a little. So, could you have dinner with me, Madam?" Since the young lady had asked, he went along with it.
Anyway, he didn't want to go back and see Xie Qinglan.
Jiang Susu hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, "Okay, then we'll eat out today."
Upon hearing Jiang Susu's agreement, Shang Yanxing smiled with satisfaction.
Although his expression was relatively calm, his heart was already rippled with emotion.
"Thank you for agreeing, Madam. You are so kind to me."
His praise made Jiang Susu feel a little embarrassed.
Isn't this man usually very good to her?
At most, their actions could be considered a matter of reciprocity, right?
Shang Yanxing drove Jiang Susu to a revolving restaurant.
Shang Yanxing took the menu and ordered the food.
Seeing that Jiang Susu was sitting, he poured her a drink. "Madam, try this drink. It's a plum-flavored fruit wine with a low alcohol content, so you won't get drunk."
Seeing the fruit wine reminded him of the time when Jiang Susu got drunk.
Although drinking alone in a bar is not a good idea, it's okay to have a little when you're with him.
Jiang Susu did not refuse, but tried a little, and the taste surprised her.
The plum wine, with its blend of wine and plum aromas, is unforgettable.
She had drunk several glasses of alcohol before the meal.
The dishes we ordered were served one after another.
There are lemon chicken feet, boiled beef, steamed shrimp, and shredded pork with garlic sauce.
These are all dishes she likes to eat.
Shang Yanxing didn't ask her anything just now, so how would he know what she likes to eat?
"I ordered all these dishes, but I don't know if Madam will like them." As he spoke, Shang Yanxing served Jiang Susu a bowl of rice.
"Do you really like eating these?" Jiang Susu asked.
Shang Yanxing was stunned for a moment. He looked up at Jiang Susu, his eyes seeming to change in an instant. "What's wrong? Doesn't Madam like it?"
"No, I just think it's a coincidence. I like these things too. I never thought we would have so much in common."
He, like her, enjoys matcha-flavored desserts and spicy dishes.
Especially the boiled beef and lemon chicken feet, which are her favorite dishes.
Hearing Jiang Susu's words, Shang Yanxing's heart, which had been in his throat, immediately calmed down. "You scared me. I thought Madam didn't like it."
"I don't dislike it, I like it a lot. I'm just a little curious why we have such similar hobbies."
Shang Yanxing smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because I'm destined to be with Madam."
The two of them could be considered to be destined for each other.
Otherwise, how could he have met this young woman when he was only fifteen?
How could she have happened to run into her at the club that day?
If they weren't meant to be, they would never have gotten married.
Jiang Susu nodded in agreement, saying, "I think so too." The two of them really are quite destined for each other, aren't they?
However, they were completely unaware of the other layer of meaning in Shang Yanxing's words.
His eyes were filled with affection for this young woman.
He hoped that one day, the two of them could really be together, and that the girl he liked would eventually fall in love with him too.
After lunch, Shang Yanxing took Jiang Susu to the supermarket.
Buy her food, buy her things she likes.
The two of them acted like a young couple on a date.
But Jiang Susu didn't notice anything amiss, assuming that Shang Yanxing was also in a bad mood.
So the two of them went shopping together.
