Gu Baiwei was a little confused. How did the topic suddenly turn to this?
She chuckled dryly twice and said, "Although Mr. Shen is very outstanding, he doesn't fit my aesthetic. I prefer someone strong and powerful..."
Just then, Da Tou walked up behind Shen Yanqing. Gu Baiwei glanced at him and immediately continued, "Ideally, he should be strong and masculine, the kind who looks like he's in great shape."
As soon as Da Tou arrived, he met his boss's cold gaze and instantly felt a chill. Oh no, had he gotten into trouble again?
Did he get caught stealing the boss's coffee? Or was he seen playing with the stray cats earlier?
Otherwise, why would the boss look at him like that?
"Go out and keep watch."
Shen Yanqing calmly withdrew his gaze. Just then, the waiter brought the food to the table. Shen Yanqing very gentlemanly pushed the steak that had been served first in front of Gu Baiwei: "This steak is good, Miss Gu, please try it."
The conversation was abruptly interrupted. Gu Baiwei poked at the steak on her plate with her fork. She had originally wanted to ask Shen Yanqing what kind of woman he liked, whether it was someone like Xia Shihan, but she ended up asking nothing.
When Gu Baiwei looked up and met Shen Yanqing's deep gaze, she was certain in her heart that he was doing it on purpose, pretending to be interested in her in order to lower her guard.
She took a big bite of her steak and chewed it vigorously. No way she could steal her future daughter-in-law away!
Just then, Shen Yanqing's phone on the table suddenly rang. He glanced at it, picked up the phone, and stood up: "Miss Gu, I'm going out to take this call. I'll be right back."
Gu Baiwei nodded and continued to eat, but the table suddenly shook slightly as she was eating.
She looked up and met a pair of bright brown eyes.
Lu Ran smiled and looked at her: "Miss Gu, it's been a long time."
Gu Baiwei was surprised to run into him here and greeted him politely, "Mr. Lu."
Lu Ran awkwardly straightened her bangs: "Miss Gu, you don't need to be so polite, just call me Lu Ran."
After saying that, as if remembering something, he lowered his voice and asked her, "Miss Gu, what's going on between you and Lao Ye? He told me you two are married?"
Lu Ran actually had a good impression of Gu Baiwei, but he couldn't mess with his friend's wife. After Ye Yunting told him about their relationship, he gave up on the idea. However, after observing for a while, he found that it seemed that Ye Yunting was just indulging in a one-sided affair.
He even suspected that Old Ye was so obsessed with Miss Gu that he made up lies to deceive him.
Gu Baiwei didn't expect Ye Yunting to tell him about this, and after a pause, she said, "It's all in the past now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran's eyes immediately lit up: "That's great... cough."
Remembering that Ye Yunting was his good brother, Lu Ran immediately stopped smiling and said very solicitously, "Miss Gu, are you dining alone? How about I treat you?"
As he spoke, he picked up the menu on the table, glanced at it, and smiled, "The lamb chops and seafood platter here are quite good..."
Before he could finish speaking, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "Lu Ran."
"Damn it! I forgot about that!"
Lu Ran then belatedly realized that he had come to this restaurant today because his parents had forced him to go on a date with Qin Jiaojiao.
Qin Jiaojiao was his childhood friend; the two had known each other since they were young. However, Lu Ran disliked her at all, finding her too domineering.
"Miss Gu, let's talk about dinner later, I need to... Ah! Qin Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"
Before Lu Ran could finish speaking, someone grabbed his ear and pulled him up.
Qin Jiaojiao glared at Gu Baiwei with hostility, her face instantly darkening: "Lu Ran, who is this woman?"
Lu Ran broke free from her hand and hurriedly pulled her outside, asking, "What's wrong with you?"
Then, with an apologetic look, he turned to Gu Baiwei and said, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"Another day? Fine, you, surnamed Lu, actually dare to cheat on me?"
Qin Jiaojiao's cursing and swearing drew frequent glances from many people in the restaurant.
Damn it, will this woman ever stop? It's precisely because of this that he doesn't like her, okay?
"Let's talk outside."
Lu Ran forcefully pulled her towards the door, but Qin Jiaojiao wouldn't let go: "She hasn't left, why should I? Let go of me? Are you feeling guilty?"
Gu Baiwei watched the two of them tug and pull as they left the restaurant, and couldn't help but chuckle. When she looked up, she was met by Shen Yanqing, who was walking towards her with long strides.
Shen Yanqing still wore his usual gentle smile: "What are you laughing at?"
He sat down opposite Gu Baiwei and reached out to unbutton his shirt collar.
For some reason, Gu Baiwei felt that he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"It's okay, I'm full."
Gu Baiwei spoke, and then she saw Shen Yanqing across from her casually pick up a suit jacket from the side and drape it over his wrist.
Aren't you going to eat?
She couldn't help but speak up, noticing that Shen Yanqing hadn't touched the steak in front of him at all.
"I'm not eating anymore. I have something to do. I'll take you home first."
As Shen Yanqing spoke, he took a step and walked out. After a couple of steps, he seemed to remember something and slowed down to keep pace with Gu Baiwei.
"Miss Gu."
He suddenly spoke, and Gu Baiwei looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.
However, before he could speak, his phone rang.
Seeing that it was Ye Chuyue calling, she picked it up and put it to her ear: "Hello."
Shen Yanqing looked down at her as she spoke softly on the phone, and pursed his lips: "I have something to do, I'll have Datou take you home."
After saying that, he strode away first.
Gu Baiwei looked up and felt that Shen Yanqing had become a little strange after answering the phone call, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
"Auntie, they really liked the gift. They asked me to thank you and said they'd like to treat you to a meal sometime."
Ye Chuyue's voice came through the receiver, pulling her back to reality.
Gu Baiwei nodded: "Okay."
Ye Chuyue hung up the phone and kicked Li Nanxing next to her: "Well, you brat, you got first place in the grade without making a sound. Shouldn't you treat me to a meal? After all, I helped you pick out this gift."
A slight blush crept onto Li Nanxing's face: "You can do it anytime you want."
Just as he finished speaking, someone nudged him from behind: "Hello, Li, I'm Li Tingting from the next class, I... I like you."
Li Nanxing's expression instantly turned cold: "Don't know me? Get lost!"
Before he could finish speaking, he received a hard slap on the head: "You brat, why are you so mean to girls!"
Ye Chuyue stood with her hands on her hips, her soft, medium-length black hair casually draped behind her head, her slightly chubby face filled with anger.
Li Nanxing suddenly met her wide eyes and immediately smiled: "Sister Yue, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again."
Ye Chuyue commanded in a condescending tone: "Apologize to them."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Tingting looked at her with a bright smile: "No need, no need, um... Ye, could we add each other on WeChat?"
