Chapter 121 What are you laughing at?
Seeing that Huo Jiansheng had only listed inexpensive dishes, Li Man took the menu from him and ordered a few more expensive meat dishes.
"That's enough, don't order too much. There are only two of us, we can't finish it." With that, Huo Jiansheng asked the waiter to remove two dishes. "That's all."
Riemann noticed that the restaurant had only ordered one soup, one meat dish, and two vegetable dishes, which seemed a bit meager. These dishes were enough for two people, but since she was treating, ordering such a small amount made her feel like she wasn't being sincere. So she asked the waiter to add two more meat dishes.
"I already told you, don't be so polite with me," Li Man said reproachfully.
"There's really too much; it would be a waste if we couldn't finish it," Huo Jiansheng said.
"It's okay, I'll pack up any leftovers and take them home. It won't go to waste," Li Man said with a smile.
Since Riemann had already said that, Huo Jiansheng couldn't say anything more.
After the waiter left, the atmosphere immediately became awkward. The two stared at each other, unsure of what to say, since they weren't very familiar with each other, only nodding acquaintances.
"Ahem..." Huo Jiansheng cleared his throat to cover his embarrassment and tried to start a conversation: "How is your friend doing?"
"Chen Xiaohui? She's alright now, thank you."
Huo Jiansheng: "..."
Riemann is a conversation killer; a simple "thank you" left Huo Jiansheng speechless.
Should he reply with "You're welcome"?
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Riemann seemed to realize this as well, and smiled to cover her embarrassment, quickly changing the subject: "By the way, where did you buy that coat? The quality is quite good."
"It was custom-made at a friend's studio," Huo Jiansheng said slowly, a cool yet polite smile on his lips.
"Ah! So it's a custom-made garment. No wonder I couldn't find the tag." Riemann's eyes widened as she asked, "Was it very expensive?"
Seeing Riemann's exaggerated expression, Huo Jiansheng's smile deepened. "No, it's not very expensive."
It would be strange if it weren't expensive. That coat costs 1.5 million. Do you think it's expensive or not?
It's just that it's not expensive for him.
Hearing that it wasn't expensive, Riemann felt slightly relieved.
"Thank you so much that day. By the way, does your wife work at the hospital?"
When Li Man heard Huo Jiansheng say that he was at the hospital accompanying a friend, she assumed that he was accompanying a female friend.
Huo Jiansheng looks quite old and is probably married, so people assumed that was his wife.
"I'm not married yet," Huo Jiansheng said calmly, lowering his eyes, picking up his teacup, taking a sip.
"Oh, is that your girlfriend?"
"I don't have a girlfriend!" Huo Jiansheng was a little annoyed. Why did everyone have to ask him this question?
Hearing that he seemed a little unhappy, Riemann quickly apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
"It's nothing, he's just a male friend of mine," Huo Jiansheng explained.
"A male friend?" Riemann's gaze towards him immediately changed.
The image of one man accompanying another to work the night shift is simply unimaginable!
Seeing the look in Li Man's eyes, Huo Jiansheng knew she had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "It's not what you think!"
Riemann chuckled and joked, "Then what is it?"
"He's my best friend since we were kids."
“Oh~” Li Man drawled out, looking at Huo Jiansheng with a half-smile.
Seeing Riemann's meaningful smile, Huo Jiansheng said unhappily, "What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth!"
"Well, I didn't say you were lying, so don't be nervous," Riemann said with a smile.
"Then what are you laughing at?" Huo Jiansheng asked, displeased.
