Chapter 89, Exploring the Mystery
In the end, the two went to a Western restaurant. The elegant environment, the gentle music, and the view overlooking most of the city made it seem like the perfect date spot. However, the two people on the "date" looked at each other with obvious disgust.
“Zhang Youyou, you dragged me here, and now you’re giving me attitude. What do you mean by that?” Li Dongshuo patiently cut his steak. If there had been a glass of red wine nearby, that would have been nice, but unfortunately, because of Zhang Youyou’s request, they had milk instead.
Steak with milk, Lee Dong-seok even wants to play a funeral dirge for the cow.
Zhang Youyou angrily cut the steak, regretting it to the core. Who eats steak at noon?
"I didn't." That's what she said, but neither her expression nor her tone gave any indication that she didn't.
"If you don't want to eat here, we'll go somewhere else." After all, they grew up together, and Lee Dong-seok knew her well.
Zhang Youyou tried cutting it a few more times, but couldn't get it open, so she gave up.
"Dongshuo, don't you think your brother is weird?" Zhang Youyou put down his knife and fork, picked up his milk, and took a sip.
Lee Dong-seok asked her to hand over the steak, and Zhang Youyou obediently complied. Lee Dong-seok then ordered another serving of pasta and helped her cut the steak into small pieces.
"What happened to my brother?" Li Dongshuo feigned ignorance.
“Originally, none of the three of us wanted to force this arranged marriage. I went to great lengths to persuade Grandpa that as long as we had someone we liked, we wouldn’t have to go through with the arranged marriage. But when I introduced him to a girl, he got angry. When I went to find my boyfriend, he got angry too. Don’t you think he’s strange?”
After cutting the last piece of steak, Lee Dong-seok finally looked up at the girl who was two months older than him but whose emotional intelligence and IQ were both lower than his, and said seriously, "Have you ever thought that he might have someone he likes?"
“Of course I thought about it.” Zhang Youyou leaned back, letting the waiter place the pasta in front of her. After he left, she continued, “I asked him, but he wouldn’t tell me, so I started looking for a boyfriend.”
Lee Dong-seok's eyes lit up. "You asked? How did you ask? What did he say?"
"I asked him if he had someone he liked. He said yes, but he didn't tell me who it was. I thought that since he had someone he liked, it would be fine as long as you and I each had a boyfriend and girlfriend. But then I met Meng Xiao, and he became unhappy about everything. He even took me away from Meng Xiao's celebration party. Don't you think he's awful?"
Now Lee Dong-seok finally understood why Jang Yo-yo was throwing a tantrum at his brother.
"So you're giving him the silent treatment?"
Zhang Youyou picked up a fork, twirled a large piece of pasta, and said, "It's clearly his fault!"
Lee Dong-seok smiled and handed over the cut steak. "Yes, he was wrong, but have you ever considered that the person he might like could be you?"
Zhang Youyou, who was eating spaghetti, choked on her words. Li Dongshuo immediately went over to help her pat her back and asked the waiter for a glass of water.
Zhang Youyou hadn't eaten breakfast and had eaten lunch late, but after Li Dongshuo's outburst, she didn't need to eat at all. Zhang Youyou really wanted to dissect him with a knife and fork.
When Zhang Youyou recovered, Li Dongshuo was still sitting next to her. Although she might punch and kick him, or even stab him, it wasn't a bad thing for her to understand some things. Perhaps it could even lead to a good marriage. Otherwise, after his useless brother confessed his feelings, Zhang Youyou might have already married that Meng Xiao.
After drinking a large glass of water, Zhang Youyou finally calmed down. She glared at Li Dongshuo without saying a word. Li Dongshuo knew that it wouldn't be good for the girl to say these things first, but someone had to bring it up. Besides, he didn't believe that Zhang Youyou didn't like his brother. His brother was handsome, smart, and highly educated. In the future, he would either stay at the university or go to the company to inherit the family business. He was a typical rich second-generation. How could anyone not like him?
"Zhang Youyou..."
"He doesn't like me." Lee Dong-seok was immediately rejected as soon as he opened his mouth. Her expression was serious and sad. Lee Dong-seok's heart sank, and he didn't know how to continue.
