Although she knew that Western cuisine would be more romantic, she reckoned that Li Mengya would not be able to eat a few meals every day when she rushed back and forth from work. For the sake of Li Mengya's body, she still chose to eat a more casual Chinese cuisine compared to Western cuisine.

"Is everything all right here?"

Zhang Chao wasn't sure if he would feel discontent about the place that he had casually decided on.

Pouring someone a cup of tea, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.

Although he looked indifferent, his heart was beating fast.

He was indeed good at courting girls, but he had never dated a woman before. Zhang Chao expressed that he was a little nervous.

"Mm, a very quiet environment. I like it. "

Li Mengya nodded and lowered her head to cultivate.

The environment here made it easy for her to relax, unlike in a western restaurant where she had to pay attention to her manners and posture at all times.

Usually, when couples choose to go on a date, most of them would choose to eat western food for the sake of the atmosphere and to show their most elegant side. However, for Zhang Chao and Li Mengya who had been together for the whole day, these things were completely unnecessary!

"Well, what would you like to eat?"

Zhang Chao handed the menu over to Li Mengya. He was not very familiar with Li Mengya's little habits, but he would remember them bit by bit.

He believed that one day, they would also have a tacit understanding that was different from that of their partners.

Li Mengya did not refuse. After a busy day, she was indeed hungry.

After ordering a few dishes, he placed the menu back in front of Zhang Chao and stared at him.

Zhang Chao didn't look like a very handsome man, but he was very pleasant to look at.

It seemed that no matter what happened, this man would be able to solve his problem without worrying about it.

"What are you looking at?"

After ordering the dishes, Zhang Chao raised his head and coincidentally met with Li Mengya's numerous gazes.

In any case, he was quite confident in his appearance. Back then, the ladies in the capital had followed him around, one after the other.

"Nothing."

Li Mengya blushed so much that she had her head lowered. She had a lot of things she wanted to ask Zhang Chao, but she didn't know how to begin with. She couldn't just directly ask Zhang Chao, "Why did you kiss me yesterday?

"Yesterday, were you serious?"

Seeing Li Mengya's bashful look, Zhang Chao also laughed.

With his fingers around the teacup, he gently grinded the sand as if he was touching the skin of a lover.

Although some things were clear to each other, there were times when they still needed to be said.

He could tell that Li Mengya was completely white paper in their relationship. If he did not give a definite answer, Li Mengya would only feel unease if she missed it.

"That... "Right."

Li Mengya's first reaction was to deny the answer in his heart. However, when she saw Zhang Chao's gentle and loving gaze, she felt a warmth strike at the bottom of his heart.

Li Mengya summoned her courage and smirked: "Zhang Chao, I like you, really."

"Yeah, I know."

Looking at Li Mengya's current state, Zhang Chao couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was.

In the past, he only had a cynical attitude, and there were only a lot of one-night stands by his side.

But after meeting Li Mengya, he suddenly wanted to calm down.

Perhaps that sentence was true. Men conquered the world, while women could conquer men.

Under Li Mengya's uneasy gaze, Zhang Chao laughed honestly. "I like you too, Li Mengya."

Li Mengya and Zhang Chao probably never thought that such a simple and boring conversation would actually appear in their own lives before they met each other.

The light from outside the window cast a warm glow on the dining room. At this moment, it was as if all of their troubles had nothing to do with them. There was only the two of them in this world.

"Excuse me, sir."

A gentle voice travelled over, interrupting the silent but not awkward atmosphere between Zhang Chao and his.

A waiter wearing a green qipao stood by the side of the table with a rose in his hands. At this moment, he was smiling lightly at Zhang Chao and Li Mengya.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhang Chao rubbed his nose, he never thought that there would be a day when he would be in a daze. Looking at the red-faced Li Mengya with a lowered head, Zhang Chao felt that the heart that had been floating for a long time had finally found a sense of belonging.

Ye Zichen looked towards the waiter with a bit of a questioning gaze.

"Boss said that when couples date, how can there be no rose embellishment?"

The waiter passed a rose to Zhang Chao with a faint smile, then turned and left, ignoring the other party's strange gaze.

She was only following the boss's instructions. It was just that she was a little curious. The boss was never someone who liked to meddle in other people's business, so why did he give such a strange attitude today?

"Thank you."

Zhang Chao looked at the rose in his hand, slightly taken aback. Are all restaurants these days so human-like?

He turned his head to look in the direction the waiter left. There was a woman wearing a light green qipao with a curly hair sitting at the table, pruning the flowers. Her movements carried the grace of a aristocratic lady.

Because it was only a back view, one could not clearly see his face, but it always felt very familiar.

Zhang Chao smiled and decided to thank his again when he left.

"For you."

Zhang Chao retracted his gaze. He had Li Mengya, the prospective girlfriend, sitting beside him, if he were to look at someone else now, even if they did not say anything, Zhang Chao would feel that he was a scum.

He passed the rose in his hand to Li Mengya, with eyes that were filled with gentleness like water that was about to spill out.

"Very pretty."

Seeing Zhang Chao holding the rose, Li Mengya's smile became even more brilliant.

Dinner passed by amidst the ambiguous atmosphere between the two. For the first time, Li Mengya felt that eating was more than just a biological necessity.

"Sorry, our boss has already rested. He asked me to bring a message saying that there's no need to thank me."

The waiter wearing the qipao standing at the door declined Zhang Chao's request to personally thank him. Looking at Zhang Chao and Li Mengya's puzzled expressions as they left, he couldn't help but sigh, then closed the door and put on the signboard of business closure.

"Are they gone?"

For some reason, there was a little loneliness in the voice of the Lady Boss. She put the cut rose in her hand into a vase and let the waiter take it down.

She was beautiful like a flower, but very unfamiliar. However, if Zhang Chao saw her, he would definitely be able to recognize her, she was.
