Chapter 406: This Man Is Proposing
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the restaurant, Jiang Minghua sat down elegantly with a dignified smile.
The dignified, feminine image of the third young miss of the Jiang family didn’t require any pretending. It was seeping out from her bones.
Whatever dignified young miss image Jiang Minghua displayed outwardly, she was probably the only person who knew what she was like inside.
The man sitting opposite her was the eldest son of the forr manager of the foundation, Guan Mo.
He was dressed formally in a crisp suit, which made him look especially sharp.
He graduated from a renowned university and started a company in China. He could be considered a rising star in the business world. Jiang Minghua’s mother said that this man had a bright future, so she did not reject him when he expressed his interest in her.
She looked at the dessert on the table and tasted it. It tasted good.
It felt nice to have suitors.
“Minghua, you did a good job at the foundation. Even my father praised you for your managent skills. I’m surprised.”
“Surprised?” Jiang Minghua was puzzled.
Guan Mo nodded with a smile. “Yeah. I used to think that the third young miss of the Jiang family is spoiled and ignorant. Your actions have proven wrong. I’m very curious and would like to know you better.”
Jiang Minghua smiled sweetly. “This is my field of study. Plus, I’m interested in these things. However, if it weren’t for your father’s guidance, I wouldn’t have been able to do so well, so I have to thank you.”
Guan Mo felt that she was a very good girl when he heard her being so humble. He really wanted to have a deep conversation with her.
But he was a little excited about the surprise proposal he had planned and asked the waiter to serve the second dish.
He had discussed with Fu Jin that go ti would be when the third dish was served.
The second dish was served with a cloche.
The waiter put down the plate and lifted the cloche. Just as he was about to say please enjoy, he heard Jiang Minghua scream.
The waiter looked down and saw two live lobsters and a bullfrog on the plate. The bullfrog was startled by the woman’s scream and jumped onto Jiang Minghua.
Jiang Minghua hated small animals like this. She jumped up in fright and threw the bullfrog away, forgoing her ladylike image.
“Guan Mo, did you ask here just to prank ?”
The lobsters on the plate crawled to the side of the table and fell to the ground. The fall did nothing to the lobsters as they continued to crawl on the floor.
Jiang Minghua moved aside in fear and glared at Guan Mo angrily.
“If you hate , just tell . Why do you have to humiliate like this?”
Without waiting for Guan Mo to explain, Jiang Minghua turned and left.
“Minghua, Minghua, I didn’t…” No matter what Guan Mo said, he couldn’t stop Jiang Minghua from leaving.
“What happened?”
Guan Mo’s face was livid as he interrogated the waiter.
The waiter felt extrely wronged. He just served the dish. How would he know what happened?
“We have to go to the kitchen to check.”
Guan Mo went to the kitchen to interrogate the chef. The chef also had no idea. He prepared the dish. It was pan-seared foie gras.
Guan Mo was furious. Soone must have frad him on purpose. He had to find out!
He checked the surveillance footage and didn’t see any signs of swapping. It was as if there was a ghost. He still couldn’t accept it and questioned the restaurant owner.
Outside the restaurant, Tang Beibei finished the foie gras in a few mouthfuls and took a sip of water. She didn’t think it tasted good.
She would rather have crayfish. It was cheap and filling.
“Hubby, we swapped out the food. They won’t find out, right?”
Jiang Jingchen pinched her face. “We’ve already eaten the food. So what if we were found out?”
Tang Beibei felt bad. She and Jiang Jingchen pretended to be servers. They intercepted the waiter and asked to check the dish he was delivering. That’s when they switched trays with him.
After that, they put down the tray and went to the security room to delete the surveillance footage before they left the restaurant.
“Don’t worry, we won’t be found out.”
Tang Beibei clutched her heart. It was her first ti doing sothing bad and she was really nervous.
“What would you like to eat?”
“Crayfish!”
Jiang Jingchen took out his phone to search for crayfish shops. He looked at the nu and said, “2.5 kg of crayfish, 5oog of bullfrog, and a bottle of Sprite.”
Tang Beibei’s eyes lit up. Although the eatery was decorated simply, it was lively. She ordered so much food, but it cost only a little over too yuan. She preferred this kind of spending.
Service was very fast. Their crayfish and bullfrog were quickly served. Tang Beibei put on her gloves and imdiately started eating.
Jiang Jingchen said, “Obedient Beibei, I’ll peel them for you.”
“No need, no need. I’ll peel my own crayfish. You can peel yours.”
Tang Beibei was busy stuffing crayfish at into her mouth and didn’t pay much attention to him.
Jiang Jingchen watched her eat and developed an appetite. He put on his gloves.
Although he felt that crayfish contained lots of parasites and bacteria, his wife was so happy eating them that he could only risk his life to accompany her.
He took a bite. It tasted pretty good.
Tang Beibei could really eat. 2.5 kg of crayfish wasn’t enough. She wanted to order more.
Suddenly, the lights in the shop dimd.
Tang Beibei was shocked. She grabbed Jiang Jingchen and said, “Hu-hubby, don’t be afraid.”
“… I’m not afraid.”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled and pulled her close. Then, they saw candles light up in front of them.
A man was holding a bouquet of roses and walking up to a girl. He went down on one knee and took out a ring.
“Peipei, marry !”
This man was proposing.
The girl nad Peipei covered her mouth in surprise and wiped her tears. “Yes.”
The man happily put the ring on her finger. The two of them hugged and their friends cheered and celebrated for them.
The strangers around them all applauded when they saw such a romantic scene.
At this mont, the store manager said through a microphone, “This couple like our crayfish here. They t here and have been together for three years. Finally, they are getting married. I’m so happy for them.”
“The custors here today are all lucky people.”
“Tve prepared a few prizes. Every diner has one lucky draw. You may get a free al or even prizes from our store.”
“I wish everyone good luck and be with their loved ones!”
“Alright, the manager is generous!”
Everyone cheered, hoping that they were the lucky ones.
Tang Beibei comnted softly, “Even if there are no prizes, it’s a blessing to see a couple get engaged.”
Jiang Jingchen nodded. Compared to Guan Mo’s fancy proposal to Jiang Minghua, this couple had each other in their eyes when they hugged.
That was the most beautiful form of love.
“Ma’am, sir, it’s your turn now.” A waiter brought over a big box.
Tang Beibei smiled and picked a ticket from the box. The waiter then presented the box to Jiang Jingchen, who also drew a ticket.
Tang Beibei looked at his ticket curiously. “What is it?”
Jiang Jingchen opened his ticket. It said, “Thank you for your patronage.”
Tang Beibei opened her ticket nervously. It said, “Special prize!”
“What’s special prize?”
The waiter looked envious. “The special prize is a al on the house today. Also, we’ll give you two servings of every dish you ordered. If you can’t finish the food, you can co back another ti or take it to go.”
“Wow, this reward is not bad!”
Tang Beibei was excited as she said to Jiang Jingchen, “Hubby, look, I got us a free al. This al is on .”
Jiang Jingchen looked at her smug expression and was surprised by her good luck.
He said in a child-coaxing tone, “Obedient Beibei is so amazing. You got a special prize.”
Tang Beibei covered her mouth happily and asked the waiter how she could claim her prize..
