Pete was a bit displeased: "Nan, that's going a bit too far, don't you think? Athena is truly the perfect goddess in my heart."
Chen Nan chuckled confidently: "You'll see once you et her!"
With that, he turned and led them into the small courtyard.
When Pete saw the absolutely stunning scenery in the courtyard, he couldn't help but exclaim: "This goddess of yours is really quite special, opening a restaurant in such a beautiful place!"
"Absolutely! Fine cuisine, beautiful scenery, beauty, fantastic music, excellent calligraphy, and all other wonderful things are perfectly displayed here!"
Pete was impressed as well: "The more you speak, the more I'm looking forward to eting this goddess of yours!"
"Haha, look forward to it then, you're about to et her!"
Soon they entered the main building.
The beautiful receptionist's smile instantly brightened when she saw Chen Nan: "Mr. Chen, you're here!"
Chen Nan nodded with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, it's been half a year and you've beco even prettier!"
"Really? Thank you for the complint."
Chen Nan suddenly felt a bit nervous: "Is Boss Yuan here?"
"She is, but... she's upstairs now and might not co down."
Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as she's here... If others co, she might not co down, but would she really not co down if it's ?"
"Please call Wei for ."
"Okay, please wait for a mont."
Soon, Yuan i's assistant, Xu Wei, ca down from the second floor.
Seeing Chen Nan, her smile also beca much more genuine: "Mr. Chen, you're here."
"Wei, long ti no see, I've missed you!"
He signaled to the woman beside him, and she handed him a gift bag.
He took the gift bag and then handed it to Xu Wei: "Wei, this is the best batch of red wine from Latour Vineyard this year, a little token of appreciation."
"Mr. Chen, you're too kind!"
"It's the least I could do, every ti I co here, you arrange everything for , I must show my appreciation."
"Alright, then I'll humbly accept, thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Nan then lowered his voice: "How is Boss Yuan's mood today?"
Xu Wei hesitated for a mont, then truthfully said: "Quite good."
"Is that so, that's great... Can you arrange sothing for today?"
"Even if Boss Yuan doesn't cook herself, I just want to see her."
Xu Wei imdiately looked a bit troubled.
"I'm afraid that's not possible this ti."
Chen Nan quickly blinked.
"Is she writing?"
Xu Wei shook her head: "No, she's probably playing the piano; she went to the third floor."
Chen Nan had a sudden realization, hesitated for a mont, then said: "…Alright, let's leave it to chance."
"If she cos downstairs, please let her know I'm here."
"Sure, no problem."
"Is the private room I booked available now?"
"Of course, it's maintained by soone every day, I'll take you there now."
"No need to trouble you; I'll take them there myself, Wei, you can carry on with your work."
Xu Wei knew he wanted her to keep tabs on Yuan i, so she nodded: "Alright."
Chen Nan waved at Xu Wei, then led Pete and the others to the private room he had booked.
At this point, Pete couldn't resist his curiosity: "So, we might not see her today?"
Chen Nan sighed: "That's right; she's called my goddess for a reason, she isn't soone you can just et whenever you want!"
"My goddess is playing the piano; she loves it the most. Every ti she plays, she goes to the top floor and won't see anyone."
"She's truly quite unique! But isn't she afraid of offending the guests here?"
"Guests?" Chen Nan shook his head with a smile: "All the guests who co here are utterly captivated by her culinary skills, piano playing, and other talents."
"In a sense, we're not her guests, but her fans, like your relationship with Michael Jackson."
"In so respects, her status in our hearts is even higher than Michael Jackson's status in yours."
"Because you'll always see Michael Jackson at his concerts, but we might not see her when we co here."
"However, we're willing to wait because she's worth it!"
"Even in the repeated waiting, there is an indescribable happiness in my heart."
"Because it shows she's still isolated from the world, with no desires, still the pure and perfect goddess in my heart."
Pete was deeply moved by Chen Nan's words again: "Nan, seeing you like this, I also feel that you're truly happy. She's not only your goddess, but also your faith."
"Other people's faiths are illusory, but yours is sothing real, and I'm now willing to believe she is a perfect woman like Athena!"
Chen Nan was delighted: "Pete, it seems you truly understand ! She's indeed my faith!"
anwhile, in the lounge on the third floor, Zhang Jingdong, feeling especially happy due to the beautiful scenery of the courtyard and the continuous influx of guests into the courtyard, gave a lecture lasting over an hour.
Moreover, the energy density of this lecture was enormous, with as many as seven or eight extrely important points of knowledge.
But considering that Yuan i had just beco an Inner Chamber Disciple, he worried that she might not grasp everything if he talked too much.
So he passionately continued for another ten or so minutes and then ended the lecture.
The two tidied up, then leaned against each other to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside.
Zhang Jingdong kissed her pretty face: "How was it? Are you satisfied?"
Yuan i, though incredibly shy, nodded with a mix of shyness and joy: "…Yes."
