Chapter 107 Why are you here?
Yan Ruo looked at Xiao Tao sheepishly and said, "I have something to do tonight. How about we go eat at noon tomorrow?"
The gossip signal above Xiao Tao's head lit up instantly, "Do you have a date tonight?"
Yan Ruo thought about it and said, "I guess so."
Usually when Xu Shaoyu goes out to eat, he would choose a high-end restaurant or private restaurant with good privacy. But today, for some reason, he actually brought Yan Ruo to a popular internet restaurant.
Xiao Tao had originally been looking for this restaurant in the afternoon, but it was too difficult to reserve a seat, so he chose another one.
Yan Ruo was a little curious, "You've changed your style recently, why are you eating here?"
Xu Shaoyu raised his eyes, "Why, you don't like it?"
He clearly heard the secretaries in the president's office saying that they wanted to come here to eat and check in, and Assistant Liu also said that girls like these fancy places.
The environment here is good and the dishes look delicious, so Yan Ru naturally has something to dislike.
This is the most popular internet-famous restaurant in North City. Every dish is made very exquisitely, no wonder so many people are taking pictures.
Even Yan Ruo, who hasn't posted on WeChat Moments for half a year, wanted to take a few pictures with his phone.
After all the dishes were served, Yan Ruo picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
Xu Shaoyu asked, "Don't you need to take pictures?"
"Huh?" Yan Ruo paused as she picked up the food. She silently put the chopsticks back and took two pictures.
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone to scan and disinfect the dishes on the table.
Xu Shaoyu ordered all the signature dishes here. Even though there were only two of them eating, the whole table was filled.
Yan Ruo was worried at first that she wouldn't be able to finish the food, but now that she sees the portions, she doesn't have to worry. Especially since the table is completely full, it looks great for photos.
After taking the photo and putting away the phone, Yan Ruo picked up the chopsticks again and prepared to start eating.
Xu Shaoyu took out his phone and said, "I'll take two pictures for you."
He usually pays attention to efficiency in everything he does, so how come he seems to be so leisurely today? Yan Ruo doesn't want to spoil his fun, so she cooperates and takes a few photos.
A waiter passing by saw this and asked enthusiastically if they wanted to take a photo with them.
Yan Ruo originally wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly Xu Shaoyu agreed immediately.
The waiter looked at the good-looking couple in the camera and couldn't help but praise them, "They are a perfect match, both talented and beautiful."
Yan Ruo pursed her lips. Before, when they appeared in public, they were always in a superior-subordinate relationship. Now it was really hard to adapt to this situation.
After taking the photo, Yan Ru picked up the chopsticks again. She looked at Xu Shaoyu, and seeing that he didn't say anything else, she finally started eating with peace of mind.
It is indeed a popular online store. It looks good and the price is reasonable, but the taste is just average.
Yan Ruo sighed, it really looks good but tastes bad.
Xu Shaoyu paused after taking the first bite. Seeing that Yan Ruo didn't say anything, he simply took a few bites.
Fortunately, the dessert was quite good. The moment Yan Ruo took a bite, her eyes lit up.
"This is definitely the best in this restaurant, you should try it."
Xu Shaoyu glanced at the other dessert on the table, then ignored it and looked directly at the one in Yan Ruo's hand, "Let me try it."
Yan Ruo, “…”
"There's another one on the table."
Xu Shaoyu, "I don't really like these, so I'll just try a bite. You can pack that portion and take it home later."
Yan Ruo raised the corner of her mouth in amusement, and finally fed him a piece with a small fork.
"It's really delicious." Xu Shaoyu's eyes moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash.
After finishing the meal, Yan Ruo asked the waiter to pack up the remaining dessert, and finally asked the question that she had been holding back all night.
"Did Special Assistant Liu tell you something before coming to dinner?"
Xu Shaoyu's eyes flickered slightly, "Why do you ask?"
Yan Ruo looked at the surroundings and said, "This doesn't seem like a place you would come to. And... you're actually so patient to take pictures for me."
Xu Shaoyu sighed slightly, "Are you blaming me for not doing well enough before?"
Yan Ruo quickly shook her head, "I didn't say that."
"I know it even if you don't tell me." Xu Shaoyu said in a flat tone, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
"Before, I put all my time and energy into work and didn't do well enough in other aspects. I will pay attention to this in the future."
Yan Ruo wanted to say that it wasn't that she didn't bring up the past, but she just felt that he was abnormal today.
Xu Shaoyu went to the front desk of the restaurant and asked something. Yan Ruo was standing at the door waiting for him with a packaged cake.
He took out his cell phone and sent Xiao Tao a picture of a small cake.
[Don't sleep yet, I brought you a delicious little cake. ]
Less than two seconds after the message was sent, Xiao Tao received an emoticon package of people happily spinning in circles and throwing flowers to express their gratitude.
Yan Ruo's lips curled up, and she was about to send an emoticon back, but two long-lost voices rang in her ears.
"Oh, isn't that Secretary Yan?"
"What bad luck! I just went out for a good night and actually ran into her."
Yan Ruo looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Lin Shuyun and Lin Yuan, the aunt and niece. She turned her eyes away and pretended not to see them.
Unexpectedly, this attitude caused dissatisfaction in Lin Shuyun, and she walked a few steps towards Yan Ruo.
"It's really getting outrageous. Can't you just say hello when you see someone?"
Yan Ruo squinted her eyes and looked towards the two of them, "Is there anyone here? Why don't I see anyone?"
Before Lin Shuyun could react, Lin Yuan screamed, "How dare you call me and my aunt inhuman?"
Yan Ruo's gaze fell on her then, as if he had just seen her.
"Oh, it's Miss Lin and Mrs. Xu. Miss Lin, you said that yourself, don't try to put it on me."
Lin Shuyun took a step forward angrily.
"I told you yesterday to leave North City, why are you still here?"
Yan Ruo shrugged, looking helpless. "Madam Xu, you said so too. This place is called North City. My surname is neither Lin nor Xu. Naturally, I can come when I want to and stay when I want to."
Lin Shuyun doesn't care about all this. As Xu Shaoyu's mother, she has been flattered wherever she goes in North City in the past two years.
If it weren't for Xu Shaoyu, she wouldn't even bother to look at a woman like Yan Ruo who came from an ordinary family.
She raised her chin and glanced at Yan Ruo with contempt.
"I've already found a lady from a prominent family for Shao Yu, and the engagement will be announced soon."
"Secretary Yan, I advise you not to waste your time. Since you've resigned, you should wisely disappear from our sight. While you're still young, go back and get married."
Glancing at the man coming towards them, Yan Ruo curled the corners of her lips slightly and deliberately lowered her voice provocatively.
"What if I don't? What can Madam Xu do to me?"
"I've thought it through over the past few months. It would be a shame to miss out on a man like Mr. Xu. This time, I came back to North City specifically to find him."
"You dare!" Lin Shuyun was indeed furious and raised her hand to teach Yan Ru a lesson.
As soon as she raised her hand, it was firmly grasped by someone. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't slap him.
Lin Yuan, who was originally trying to help, widened his eyes and took two steps back when he saw the person coming.
Lin Shuyun was already angry and didn't expect someone to dare to stop her at this time. Before she could turn around to see who it was, the threatening words had already come out of her mouth.
"Who gave you the courage to stop me? Do you know who my son is?"
"Shaoyu!! Why are you here?"
