When they arrived at the restaurant, Gu Ningyue realized it was a Japanese eatery Ling Tianyou had brought her to once before.
Gu Ningyue followed Ling Tianyou into the predetermined private room. Chen Rui and Chi Xingtong were already inside, sitting opposite each other. Both were stunning beauties, and upon opening the door, the sight was undoubtedly pleasing to the eye.
But the atmosphere felt sowhat tense.
"Tianyou, Miss Gu, you’re here. Please sit down!" Chen Rui waved her hand, leaving a seat beside her.
Gu Ningyue glanced around, turned, and sat next to Chi Xingtong.
Ling Tianyou had no choice but to sit in the seat Chen Rui had offered.
Once seated, Chi Xingtong gently pinched her thigh under the table, her gaze seemingly reproachful.
Reproaching her for letting Ling Tianyou be with Chen Rui, thus letting Chen Rui have her way.
Gu Ningyue smiled and poured her a cup of green tea, "Sorry for the wait."
Who sits where doesn’t really matter, does it? Does status change?
Ling Tianyou’s fiancée was still Gu Ningyue, not Chen Rui.
Getting upset over such trifles would only make oneself look bad.
It seed that this was exactly what Chen Rui wanted to see.
This woman was truly full of sches.
Chen Rui also poured herself a cup of tea, sipping it lightly.
The emotions in her features were elusive, hard to read.
Wasn’t it said that the eldest Miss of the Gu Family was unreasonable and could lose her composure over trivial matters?
How co neither ti showed any indication of this?
Clearly, so information was indeed inaccurate.
"Let’s order," Ling Tianyou passed the nu handed by the waiter to Chi Xingtong on the opposite side, "See if there’s anything you’d like? You order first."
Chi Xingtong nodded, but amid the current atmosphere, she really had no appetite.
She casually ordered a few Japanese dishes, then passed the nu to Gu Ningyue.
Gu Ningyue tilted her head, considering for a while, finally choosing a sashimi dish.
Upon hearing this, Chen Rui looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "Miss Gu likes this? There’s a place I used to frequent abroad that made excellent sashimi, especially the sauce, which is unmatched. If you have ti, you should try it."
Gu Ningyue curled her lips into a smile and handed the nu to Chen Rui, "If Miss Chen would be my guide, I’d go. I’m directionally challenged; when Tianyou’s not around, I rely on GPS. Abroad, being unfamiliar with the place, I’m a bit scared."
Chen Rui looked down at what’s on the nu, speaking softly, "Of course, Miss Gu can also bring Tianyou. He’s visited twice and is very familiar with the restaurant I frequented."
With her words, Ling Tianyou’s expression shifted.
Gu Ningyue glanced at him; she didn’t expect this usually busy President Ling, whose feet barely touch the ground, to abandon everything to visit Chen Rui abroad?
"Really? That’s great." Gu Ningyue laughed, "Tianyou, could you accompany when you have ti?"
Ling Tianyou was slightly startled, then nodded, "Alright."
Chen Rui finished ordering, and the nu went back to Ling Tianyou.
"Add a tuna sushi," Ling Tianyou said blandly, handing the nu back to the waiter to proceed.
Before the waiter left, Gu Ningyue also ordered several bottles of green plum wine.
The reason was simple, as a farewell for Chi Xingtong.
Ling Tianyou, who generally disliked seeing Gu Ningyue drink, did not object; after all, today’s mishap was indeed his own fault.
He was quite surprised by Chen Rui’s sudden arrival announcent.
There was no alternative; he had already inford Gu Ningyue over the phone.
If he decided not to bring Gu Ningyue at that mont, whether he said so or not, the matter would inevitably reach her ears.
While waiting for the dishes, Gu Ningyue turned to Chi Xingtong and asked, "Are all the things ready? What ti is the flight?"
Chi Xingtong took out her ticket and handed it to Gu Ningyue, "Here...honestly, I’m a bit reluctant, just leaving like this."
Gu Ningyue glanced at the ti on it and flashed a faint smile, "Should I see you off when the ti cos?"
Chi Xingtong shook her head, "No need, I dislike those farewell scenes. Every ti I leave, I don’t even let my parents see off."
At this point, Chen Rui chid in, "Xingtong has always been like this. Even when we perford at the high school graduation party, Xingtong didn’t let us accompany her."
Chi Xingtong turned her head, speaking in a tone only they could hear, "I just didn’t want her there, but my best friends from other schools were present."
Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but smile, "How childish of you!"
Yet, she quite liked it.
Faced with Chi Xingtong whispering to Gu Ningyue, Chen Rui chose to pretend she hadn’t noticed.
Ling Tianyou sat quietly on the side, seemingly an outsider.
Outside, two waiters standing at the bar were discussing the happenings in the private room.
"Hey, did you see that? In room 508, three gorgeous beauties, my God, I’ve been working here for so long and never seen such stunning won."
"Saw it, saw it, the one in the red dress is so pretty. Now I realize who the word ’stunner’ was created for."
"I prefer the one in the strappy shorts, what a hot figure!"
"You guys are so superficial." The receptionist girl who had been quiet comnted on their conversation, "I like the one in green, not only looks beautiful but also has a good deanor, unlike the other two who have too much sultry charm!"
"I think you’re just jealous. If you had half their figure, you wouldn’t be here, hahaha..."
"Get out! Kitchen’s calling, aren’t you bringing the dishes over?"
"On my way, on my way, stop rushing!"
"..."
They delivered the prepared dishes to the private room, and when they ca out, they were still sowhat reluctant to finish the conversation.
It wasn’t often all three beauties would sit in the sa private room with one man; he sure was living the dream.
"If it were , I’d be in blissful bliss."
"That’s you. I think that man doesn’t look all that happy!"
"Now that you ntion it, that’s true. When I served the tofu, just at that mont when he turned, he looked utterly miserable."
"By the way, that person seems to be the Ling Group’s president."
"Really? No wonder! Being wealthy is great, isn’t it?"
"Don’t be silly, the one in green happens to be a renowned jewelry designer in L country!"
"You know that? I thought you only knew about video gas!"
"Hehe, my ex-girlfriend adored her jewelry designs, but they were too expensive. I only followed just out of curiosity!"
"Hahaha, was she your ex because you couldn’t afford them?"
"..."
