Chapter 60: They Look Like a Loving Couple
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In order to enjoy the seafood at its freshest, they even decided to forego the spicy stock and went for the clear stock instead.
The two of them could really eat.
As for her, she could lose out on everything except when it came to food.
However, she was so busy serving her husband with the food and having her share that she stopped being nervous.
Her friends were also busy with eating.
And the atmosphere was no longer awkward.
What was left lingering was the fragrance of food; even the man was moved by the ambiance to take a few more mouthfuls.
After having their fill, her two friends wiped their mouths with great satisfaction, stood up, and said, “Xiao Huan, thank you for your meal tonight. We’ll take our leave first!”
Then, they shamelessly put on a look to indicate that they were leaving first so as to give the couple some private time.
Mu Huan: “…”
What kind of friends had she been mingling with?!
After they left, Bao Junyan went to pay for the meal.
This hot pot meal cost ten thousand yuan.
Mu Huan: “…”
She was about to say something when she decided against it. With his status, it might seem inappropriate for her to add further ments. As she was looking down, the man walked away first.
“What happened?” he asked while looking over his shoulder, seeing that she wasn’t following.
“Nothing much,” she quickly uttered.
He did not say anything more. Reaching out to take her hand in case he lost her again, he walked out of the place with her.
She looked down at his broad palm that was holding her hand.
For an unknown reason, her heart started to pound fast and furious.
She did not know why her heart was racing with his little action.
The evening breeze from the river was slightly chilly on this hot summer day, which was especially refreshing. On top of that, they were on the antique street of Yun Cheng that sparkled with beautiful lights from the shops that lined the street at night.
One could not help wanting to take a walk along this street.
PA Wang saw them ing out of the restaurant and hastily greeted them. “CEO, Madam.”
“Hubby, you go and get busy with your work. I’ll take a walk around here and then hail a taxi back later.” She retrieved her hand and tried to take this opportunity to take her leave from him.
Unexpectedly, she heard him say, “I’m free.”
Mu Huan: “…”
“Let’s go.”
“Ah?”
“Didn’t you say you want to take a walk?” He held her hand and tugged her along.
Mu Huan: “…”
Why does he like to hold my hand? And what’s more, how is it possible that he’s free now? He’s always so busy! Back in the past, he would reach home only at 1 or 2 in the morning!
PA Wang: “…”
His CEO found women to be nothing but irritating in the past, and would, in fact, be opposed to any women who tried to get close to him. Now, he’s taking the initiative to hold a woman’s hand?!
Furthermore, how can he say that he’s free when there are so many proposals waiting for him to vet and approve?!
He’s a workaholic in the first place!
Still, he had told her that he was free and even held her hand. There was nothing more she could do except to follow him.
Like a loving couple, the two of them held hands to take a walk.
As they strolled beneath the wisteria flowering arch, a gust of wind blew across that sent the lovely purplish petals aflutter. She was moved by the scene as she reached out to touch the petals. “How beautiful…”
He did not find the wilted petals in her hand pretty. Rather, it was the smile that she wore on her lips.
This also seemed to be the first time he saw her with a heartfelt smile.
Under this beautiful evening skyline, the tall and slender man watched the young lady with loving indulgence in his eyes. As the wind blew, petals scattered around the couple, forming such a romantic scene that passersby could not help scanning the surroundings for hidden cameras. They thought the two were filming a romantic drama series.
