At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Compared to the sumptuous feast at Gu Yu's table, Wu Huan and Wan Jinfeng sitting next door in the partition clearly appeared much more refined.

A small table held three dishes and one soup, with the most expensive dish being a plate of crispy fried cod fillets.

The rest were just vegetable dishes with names like "Flower Fan" and "Assembly of Heroes."

Wu Huan casually picked up a piece of fish fillet and began to eat it slowly and deliberately.

He was actually very hungry, but he wanted to maintain his gentlemanly image in front of a lady.

In such a high-end restaurant, maintaining one's image was crucial!

"Sss! This is delicious, this is delicious!"

While he was meticulously using his knife and fork, Qin Shan next door grabbed a piece of Wellington steak and began gnawing on it ravenously.

Talk about losing one's image, she was almost leaning over the table to eat!

"Gurgle—" Wu Huan suddenly heard a stomach rumble, looked down at his own stomach, and felt a bit puzzled.

He was somewhat hungry, but he was eating, wasn't he?

His stomach shouldn't be growling...

When he looked up, he saw Wan Jinfeng's embarrassed expression.

"Jinfeng, why aren't you eating?"

Wu Huan asked in confusion. Since the beginning, Wan Jinfeng hadn't touched her chopsticks at all.

Wan Jinfeng looked at him, pursed her lips and said, "I don't have much of an appetite, you go ahead..."

Wu Huan was stunned. What did she mean?

He had gone to the expense of inviting Wan Jinfeng to such a fancy restaurant, and she wasn't giving any face at all?

He felt somewhat displeased, but when he thought about the intimate moments he and Wan Jinfeng would share later, he suppressed his irritation and said gently, "What's wrong?"

"Do these dishes not suit your taste? Shall I order something else?" Wu Huan asked while flipping through the menu, wincing at the high prices listed.

"How about this 'Jade Green?' It looks quite refreshing?" Wu Huan pointed at a dish in the corner of the menu and asked Wan Jinfeng.

The dish looked like a small segment of cucumber, peeled and topped with a rich sauce, glistening translucently.

Such a small piece of cucumber, and it cost eighty-eight yuan!

"Damn it, it's not real jade, why is it so expensive?" Wu Huan cursed inwardly but maintained a smiling face, waiting for Wan Jinfeng's decision.

Wan Jinfeng pursed her lips, shook her head, and then pointed to a caviar salad on another page, saying, "How about this instead?"

"I don't really like cucumber."

Seeing the price of the caviar salad, four hundred and eighty-eight! Wu Huan's face blanched—the price of just a small bowl of caviar salad was nearly five hundred?

The cost per person was already exceeding a thousand!

But seeing Wan Jinfeng's expectant look, Wu Huan still braced himself and nodded to the waiter, saying, "Add this one, please?"

The waiter took the menu and nodded.

Wu Huan watched the waiter leave with a pained expression and then turned back with a gentle smile on his face.

"Jinfeng, actually, caviar isn't that great to eat, it doesn't taste as good as they say on Dou Ying; the 'Jade Green' here is pretty good!"

Wu Huan gave a post-mortem, although he had already ordered, he still felt better voicing his thoughts.

"Hmm... I don't eat cucumber."

Wan Jinfeng still shook her head, not going along with Wu Huan's words.

Wu Huan's tone caught, what was with this woman today? Why wasn't she giving him any face at all?

He was just about to blow up to assert his masculinity when a figure came up behind him and placed a plate of salt and pepper butterfly shrimp in the center of the table.

It was a male waiter.

Wu Huan was startled for a few seconds, then he suddenly panicked—this was a dish he hadn't ordered, wasn't it?

Wasn't this dish expensive just by looking at the price?

"I didn't order this dish! You aren't going to try to force a sale on me, are you?" Wu Huan darkly questioned the waiter.

The male waiter hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Wu Huan and hurriedly explained with an apologetic smile, "This dish isn't something you ordered, it was sent over by a Mr. Qin Shan from the next table."

"He said that the lady here likes butterfly shrimp, so he specially added this dish for the two of you."

"He also asked me to remind you that the lady is allergic to cucumber."

The male waiter gave a slight smile and then silently retreated to the partition door.

Wu Huan froze on the spot, looking at the salt and pepper butterfly shrimp in front of him, veins popping on his forehead.

Was Qin Shan provoking him?

Was he trying to humiliate him?

His eyes fiercely fixed on Qin Shan next door, who was playing rock-paper-scissors with Kang Jia beside him and not even glancing his way.

"He still remembers that I'm allergic to cucumbers..."

Wan Jinfeng's expression was complex as she looked at the butterfly shrimp in front of her, the waiter's words echoing in her mind.

Qin Shan had actually remembered her cucumber allergy all this time!

And her liking for butterfly shrimp was merely something she had casually mentioned during a visit to the oceanarium.

While they were looking at the butterfly shrimp, she joked that it would taste great cooked with salt and pepper...

Yet, Qin Shan had kept it in mind ever since.

Wan Jinfeng felt as if lightning had struck her heart, as if she had lost something very important and only now realized it.

"We're not eating this! Take it away!" Wu Huan turned his head and commanded the waiter with an irritated tone.

A trace of disdain flickered silently in the waiter's eyes, but he quickly removed the butterfly shrimp.

He had been standing at this partition the entire time, of course, he knew what Wu Huan and Wan Jinfeng had ordered.

Not to mention the main dish, there was only one serving of it.

It was the cheapest kind!

Too stingy to even spend money on a meal and still trying to charm a girl?

The tip the boys at the next table casually gave his colleague was enough for Wu Huan to order another tableful of dishes!

He really had bad luck, not only did he have to deal with Wu Huan's mood but also his demands.

"Hello, here is the caviar salad you ordered, please enjoy!"

The waiter placed a small bowl of caviar salad gently in front of Wan Jinfeng.

Seeing finally a dish she could eat, Wan Jinfeng's appetite was immediately whetted.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But before she could pick up a spoon, Wu Huan had already scooped up a spoonful for himself and started tasting it.

While eating, he commented, "Hmm! It tastes pretty good! Jinfeng, you should try it!"

Saying that, he was about to scoop another spoonful.

Wan Jinfeng couldn't stand it anymore, stood up, pushed the bowl of caviar towards Wu Huan, and said with a cold face, "You eat it! I'm leaving!"

She picked up her purse and walked out of the restaurant without a word.

Wu Huan was stunned on the spot until Wan Jinfeng had walked a few meters before he finally reacted and hurriedly followed her.

"Jinfeng! Jinfeng, what's wrong? Weren't we going to watch a movie later?"

Wu Huan tried to grab Wan Jinfeng's hand but was swiftly shaken off by her.

"Don't touch me! Go watch it yourself!"

Wan Jinfeng turned around, looked at Wu Huan with a face pleading yet not understanding his fault, and she realized she was really too foolish.

Why would she settle for such a man?

Was it because he was richer than Qin Shan and came from a better family background?

But then, suddenly, there came a burst of cheers from Gu Yu's table.

Gu Yu took out three briefcases from the table and slapped them down.

All three briefcases snapped open, revealing they were filled with cash.

"Boss, Second Brother, Third Brother! Each of you, a million! You must accept this today!"

"The company has enough money! And in the future, we will only make more! So, you don't need to worry about the funds!"

"I had Xinyue withdraw this money specifically today, to motivate our new partner, Old Kang!"

"Let's welcome Kang Jia to join our Ideal Paradise!"

Gu Yu pushed the briefcases in front of the three bosses then started to clap his hands enthusiastically.

Boss Pu and the other two exchanged glances for a moment before they all stood up and clapped vigorously.

The atmosphere was joyful!

Standing at the door, Wan Jinfeng watched this scene, feeling dizzy and turning pale, she covered her face, overwhelmed with regret, and ran away.

And Wu Huan, no matter how hard he chased, couldn't catch up.
