The Cloud Restaurant is located on the top floor of the tallest building in Jingzhou. You need to make a reservation six months in advance to dine here.
Ruan Chen and Xu Qingjing made an appointment for 7 PM tonight.
For some reason, Fu Jianzhi suddenly grabbed Ruan Chen and started making a scene. The driver was almost there, and he said he felt dizzy, nauseous, and uncomfortable. He didn't want to take the car and wanted to walk.
Anyway, the Cloud Restaurant isn't too far from here.
But even if we set off now, it will be too late.
Ruan Chen knew that this was somewhat impolite, but she couldn't stop Fu Jianzhi from running to the pool with a pale face to vomit, and then slumping weakly in a chair, looking like he was terminally ill.
She frowned and asked, "Can you walk? Don't give up halfway. You're not eight years old anymore, I can't carry you anymore."
"Yes, let's walk slowly."
Ruan Chen sighed and glanced at her watch.
That's impressive, but you need to slow down.
She inappropriately recalled the story of King Zhou of Shang and Su Daji.
Helpless, Ruan Chen called Xu Qingjing and politely apologized, saying that the driver didn't need to come and that she would bring her younger brother later.
Xu Qingjing sounded a little surprised, but didn't ask any further questions. He replied gently, "Okay," and carefully reminded Ruan Chen to be careful.
By the time Ruan Chen dragged Fu Jianzhi by the neck to the bottom of the Cloud Restaurant, it was almost 7:30.
Fu Jianzhi still smelled strongly of fried skewers, sausages, and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).
He was half-dead before leaving the house, but as soon as they got on the road, he perked up and kept pulling Ruan Chen to take shortcuts, saying there was something delicious to eat there.
Ruan Chen said that when they were eating later, they should eat less junk food, and Fu Jianzhi then played the victim again, saying that he finally had the chance to eat these things.
The Cloud Restaurant is located on the 101st floor, accessible directly by a sightseeing elevator.
At the elevator entrance, Ruan Chen didn't rush in. Instead, she took out a plastic bag she had bought from a street vendor and stuffed it into Fu Jianzhi's unfinished food. She then straightened his clothes.
She gently stroked the boy's straight shoulders and back, smoothing out the wrinkles. Her gaze passed over the boy's outstanding shoulder line and fell on a very familiar person.
Ruan Yunhan.
Ruan Yunhan had obviously seen her too, and she took the arm of the tall, imposing man beside her, deliberately turning her head to one side.
"Sis, what's wrong?"
Fu Jianzhi noticed her gaze and her brother's movements slowed slightly. She asked softly.
"It's okay, seeing the trash just made my eyes dirty."
Fu Jianzhi naturally raised his hand to cover her eyes and said gently, "If they're dirty, don't look. I'll help you wash them when we get home."
Ruan Chen was caught off guard and couldn't dodge.
His long eyelashes trembled slightly in his sensitive palm.
It's a little itchy.
"Stop messing around," Ruan Chen felt the warmth from the boy's palm and her heart fluttered inexplicably. She thought it was because she had met her mortal enemy, Ruan Yunhan, and she irritably pulled Fu Jianzhi's hand away. "You smell like chili oil. Go upstairs and wash your hands first."
"Oh." Fu Jianzhi looked hurt, lowered his head, and tucked his hands back into his sleeves.
The elevator arrived, and the two went inside.
To Ruan Chen's surprise, Ruan Yunhan and the other person also came in.
This elevator goes directly to the Cloud Restaurant. Xu Qingjing said he booked the whole place tonight so it would be easier for the two of them to talk, but what's going on with Ruan Yunhan right now?
During the approximately five minutes it took to walk from the first floor to the 101st floor, Ruan Yunhan and Ruan Chen did not exchange a single word. Even when their eyes occasionally met, Ruan Yunhan would immediately look away.
Ruan Yunhan didn't want Ruan Chen to affect her candlelight dinner with Young Master Su tonight.
She had known Young Master Su for about half a month, and after Yu Tianji's death, she seamlessly took over the role of the target she had long had her eye on.
Young Master Su's full name is Su Jin. He is very handsome and has a dignified appearance. He is also very generous to Ruan Yunhan. He knows how to coax people and how to win a girl's heart. So even though Su Jin is not a native of Jingzhou, Ruan Yunhan has temporarily accepted him.
After several farces, her reputation in Beijing's social circles had already plummeted. There aren't many fools like Yu Tianji, so it took Ruan Yunhan a lot of effort to find Su Jin and create several chance encounters.
Su Jin had told her a few days ago that he would bring her to the Cloud Restaurant for dinner.
Ruan Yunhan knew this restaurant was incredibly expensive and had a high barrier to entry.
If Yu Wanqing were here before, she would have come long ago, but now that no one in the family is there to support her, she is living on thin ice.
Without the financial support of her biological mother and brother, the monthly allowance Ruan Zhengde gave her was reduced to one-third of what it used to be after Yu Wanqing went to prison. It was not enough for her to maintain her image as the richest heiress, let alone afford to spend money at a place like the Cloud Restaurant.
She asked if she needed to book a table six months in advance, but Su Jin just smiled and said he didn't need to.
As for why Ruan Chen was also here, Ruan Yunhan assumed it was related to the Ye family and didn't take it to heart. She simply glanced at Su Jin from below, seemingly casually brushing her hair aside in front of the mirror in the elevator, and smiled with a smile that was seven parts charming and three parts shy.
When the elevator reached the 101st floor, a waiter was already waiting at the door. He was somewhat surprised to see four people.
Young Master Xu instructed two people; the girl's surname was Ruan.
He instinctively felt that it was a couple who were clearly older—both were dressed formally, especially the girl, who was wearing a luxurious gown.
As for the other couple... it's not that he's prejudiced against anyone, but to be fair, the girl's stunning appearance almost made him unable to look away. Although the brother and sister were clearly from a wealthy family, he felt that their demeanor was out of place at the Cloud Restaurant.
If he wasn't mistaken, the boy was also carrying a bag of roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers).
But he still asked cautiously, "There are only two seats left tonight. Which lady's surname is Ruan?"
Ruan Yunhan's eyes held a hint of smugness, and she subconsciously moved even closer to the man beside her.
I didn't expect Su Jin to have booked the seats in his own name; he was quite considerate.
Seeing that Su Jin had not spoken for a long time, Ruan Yunhan smiled politely and said, "Hello, my surname is Ruan."
Seeing that he had indeed guessed correctly, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief and bowed, "Miss Ruan, please come in with this gentleman. Young Master Xu has been waiting for you for a long time."
Ruan Yunhan turned her head and smiled at Su Jin, "Jin, you also made plans with friends?"
She was a little displeased, and her smile carried a hint of difficulty—it was supposed to be a candlelight dinner for two, so what was Su Jin trying to do?
Su Jin frowned slightly and asked, "Did that young master Xu book the entire place tonight?"
"yes."
"Could we add two more individual seats?"
The waiter seemed a little confused and explained, "Young Master Xu invited you two."
Su Jin looked at Ruan Chen and asked gently, "Little sister, what's your surname?"
“Ruan”.
Ruan Chen thought Ruan Yunhan would cause trouble again tonight, but she didn't expect the rich guy she had just hooked to be so sensible.
Ruan Chen felt a little sorry for the new rich kid.
I wonder how long this person will survive.
"I think it was you who were invited by that young master Xu, right?" Su Jin smiled casually and said apologetically to Ruan Yunhan, "Let's do it another day, Yunhan. It's not a good day today. Let's go to another place."
But Ruan Yunhan didn't move, and her expression clearly turned ugly.
She felt humiliated, by Su Jin and by Ruan Chen.
She stared intently at Su Jin, "Jin, you promised me, I don't want to change places tonight, I want to have dinner here."
