After work, Su Chen followed Xia Qiuru's car in his own to the entrance of a restaurant in City South, a French restaurant.
Seeing the decor of the restaurant, Su Chen knew that it was upscale, and the cost would certainly not be cheap.
"Actually, we could have gone sowhere more casual. There was no need to co to this place," he said as he got out of the car. He knew that though Xia Qiuru had a decent inco, she needed to support her family and also pay for her younger brother's expenses, so she wasn't wealthy.
"It's okay, it's just a al, and I can afford it," Xia Qiuru said with a slight smile.
"Alright then, today I'm really going to let you treat ," Su Chen replied.
Since they were there, Su Chen didn't stand on ceremony; to do otherwise would have been awkward.
As soon as Su Chen entered, he imdiately noticed sothing unusual.
"Isn't this a couple's restaurant?" Su Chen asked in surprise.
"I didn't know. I found this restaurant online and it said the ambiance was very good," Xia Qiuru pretended to be clueless, her face bearing a slightly unnatural expression, as if she was afraid that Su Chen would find out.
In truth, she had known it was a chain of couple's restaurants, one which also had a location in Jianghai.
She learned about this restaurant during her college days when she had worked part-ti at the chain store in Jianghai.
She imdiately fell in love with the romantic ambiance of the restaurant, thinking at the ti that she would definitely co here for a al with her future boyfriend.
This was a small wish she had long cherished in her heart.
However, she had never t soone who really moved her heart. By the ti she did, it was already too late...
Perhaps, as the saying goes, eting the right person at the wrong ti is worse than not eting at all...
But as easy as it is to say, it's much harder to do!
She couldn't bring herself to let go of this man from her heart; the only option left was to control her feelings!
This ti, when Su Chen allowed her to treat him to a lavish al, she thought of this restaurant.
This also counted as indirectly fulfilling that little wish of hers!
"Let's make the best of it. Who says you can't co here if you're not a couple?" Xia Qiuru tried to laugh it off casually, but that smile was tinged with a hint of helplessness...
"You're right. Besides, who knows exactly what our relationship is," Su Chen said with a slight smile.
The two then sat down at a round dining table, and shortly after, a well-dressed waiter ca over to help them order.
After Xia Qiuru had ordered, the two began to chat casually.
It must be said, the atmosphere here was very pleasant. Everyone seed polite, and there was a violin performance on stage, the music flowing gently like a stream...
In such an ambiance, one's mood could also unconsciously beco relaxed and cheerful.
In a sense, this restaurant wasn't just selling food, but a taste and sentint as well.
Watching the violin performance on stage, Xia Qiuru couldn't help but rember the piano piece Su Chen had played for her once, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth...
Soon, the food they ordered arrived, and they began to eat.
Xia Qiuru had hardly ever eaten French cuisine before, but she found it quite delicious.
As for Su Chen, he was more experienced with this type of restaurant. While the standard here couldn't amaze him, it was acceptable.
Xia Qiuru sighed lightly, while enjoying such delicious French cuisine, listening to such elegant music, and looking at the man in front of her.
If only this man were truly her lover, everything would have been perfect!
But now, this thought could only be buried deep in her heart!
However, it was already quite good, and she shouldn't be too greedy, she told herself.
By the ti the two of them had finished dinner, it was about eight o'clock, and after sitting for a while longer, they left.
Xia Qiuru had drunk quite a bit that evening, and naturally, Su Chen would not let her drive herself. He initially planned to take her ho himself, but Xia Qiuru refused.
He had no choice but to call a substitute driver for her, and after giving a few instructions, he let the driver take Xia Qiuru back to her apartnt before driving ho himself...
The night was as dark as ink, desolate as water, with the bright moonlight showering over the land of Yandu. A car raced along the streets of Yandu.
Su Chen had just made another call to Lin Ruoxue. It seed they might be busy until around ten o'clock tonight, and probably for a while yet.
Su Chen still felt very distressed about this, especially since it was all for his sake.
Thinking of Lin Ruoxue, he felt warm inside, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared ahead, its shadow elongated by the streetlight.
It was a man in his thirties, with a face devoid of any expression, determined!
He stood in the middle of the road, coldly watching Su Chen's car approach!
As soon as Su Chen saw the man, his expression darkened. Then he fiercely stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot forward like an arrow released from its bow!
Just as they were about to collide, the proud man still stood there looking at Su Chen in the car:
"Trying to scare ? Am I that easily frightened?"
He had thought that Su Chen would stop even if only half a ter away from him.
But he never expected that when the car was only thirty centiters away, Su Chen showed no intention of stopping at all!
Damn! This is real!
The man, still arrogant, was startled and swiftly dodged to the side. With his cultivation, he certainly wouldn't be so easily hit.
But just as he dodged, Su Chen executed a beautiful drift, reaching breathtaking speeds, like a gust of wind.
The man hadn't even steadied himself when he was accidentally brushed by the tail end of the car, staggering a few steps, and although he was mostly unhurt, it was a bit humiliating!
At that mont, Su Chen finally stopped the car and stepped out!
Shadow looked at him, a fierce fire suddenly blazing in his eyes—he had never been so embarrassed!
Logically, standing in the middle of the road clearly ant he was blocking the way.
According to common practice among Martial Arts practitioners, one would certainly get out of the car, regardless of whether it was a foe or not.
Because even if you drove towards him, it was impossible to truly hit soone with his level of cultivation, let alone cause any injury.
But this guy, he had actually driven straight at him!
That totally went against any typical behavior!
He understood that this guy was intentionally annoying him.
"Still going to stand in the middle of the road and act tough with ?"
Su Chen's lips curled into a disdainful, cold smirk:
"You had the guts just now, why did you dodge? Watch not run you over!"
Upon hearing these words, Shadow nearly burst out in rage...
