Dong Xin Yan glared at him fiercely, gritting her teeth, but in the end, helplessly, she had to reach out and push him forcefully, "Get out."
Gu Ningyi’s lips curved deeper, "Are you sure you don’t need ?"
Dong Xin Yan couldn’t bear it any longer and snapped, "Get lost!"
-
Over the past half year, it had been Western food every day, and Dong Xin Yan was utterly tired of it. So when Gu Ningyi asked her what she wanted to eat, she rattled off, "I want sweet and sour ribs, sweet and sour pork, pickled fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes..." After listing them, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, "I really want to eat, really want to eat."
Gu Ningyi looked at her salivating appearance and pinched her cheek gently, saying softly, "Okay, you can eat whatever you want."
Dong Xin Yan’s eyes lit up suddenly, "Really? Can I eat these here?"
"Of course, as long as you want."
Gu Ningyi leaned over to fasten the seatbelt for Dong Xin Yan, started the engine, switched gears, turned the steering wheel, pressed the gas pedal, and rged the car into traffic.
Gu Ningyi didn’t take her to a big restaurant but to a private eatery instead. As soon as they stepped in, the familiar aroma of food wafted towards them, and the light in Dong Xin Yan’s eyes beca even more dazzling.
A middle-aged woman ca out, smiling at Gu Ningyi, "Mr. Gu, you haven’t been here for a long ti."
Gu Ningyi rarely curved his lips, gave a light hum, then put his arm around Dong Xin Yan’s waist, and said lightly, "My girlfriend misses the hotown dishes, so I brought her to taste your cooking."
"Girlfriend? Is she the girlfriend you ntioned before?"
The middle-aged woman’s eyes curved into a smile as she looked Dong Xin Yan up and down, smiling even more broadly, "She’s really pretty. Mr. Gu has a good eye."
Dong Xin Yan’s cheeks blushed slightly with shyness, "Thank you, auntie."
The two of them chose a seat by the window. To be honest, this private eatery was not on the sa level as the magnificent big restaurants that Gu Ningyi frequented, yet Gu Ningyi sat there calmly, completely at ease.
Dong Xin Yan looked around and couldn’t help but ask, "Gu Ningyi, how did you know about this place? You don’t seem like soone who would co here?"
"And about what the auntie said earlier, the girlfriend you ntioned before, what does that an?"
Gu Ningyi didn’t imdiately answer her but handed her the nu first, "Take a look at what you’d like to eat?"
Dong Xin Yan took it, glanced at the nu, and a quick hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "How... how co everything is the dishes I like to eat?"
"Then let’s order one of each," Gu Ningyi said straightforwardly.
The young waitress acknowledged and withdrew with a smile.
Dong Xin Yan blinked her big eyes, even more puzzled, "Can you tell why now?"
Gu Ningyi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, his dark eyes fixed steadily on her, his voice gentle, "Did you forget?"
Forget?
What did she forget?
"Back then, you gave the courage to have the surgery. You also said you’d always be with . But you were worried that once you got to the United States, you wouldn’t get used to the food there, so I sponsored an auntie with great cooking skills to open this eatery. It’s just a pity that you weren’t by my side then, so I ca alone every ti to eat."
