Chapter 72 - The Legendary French Cuisine (4)
But that’s alright, she has the high-potential stock that was her instant son. One of these days, he’d allow her to enjoy a French restaurant and drive a sporty car! Yan Shuyu tried very hard to deter the boss from taking her to dinner.
Right when she was about to succeed, she heard his very considerable voice ringing by her ears, “Oh, you like French cuisine? Then let’s go.”
Yan Shuyu: (☆ｗ☆)
The French cuisine that costed 4-digit per person! Who knew when the opportunity would present itself again…. Yan Shuyu gulped like a loser.
She had the good intention to try and resist it for a little longer. It was too bad that when the boss didn’t hear a response from her, he took that as an acknowledgment and started to walk quickly toward the restaurant. Yan Shuyu stood in her spot and struggled for a little bit longer before she decisively followed behind the boss. After all, she had already gone to a movie with him, so what if they then have dinner together? She could just not say a word and just focus on the eating.
And that’s why Yan Shuyu convinced herself and walked into the legendary restaurant behind the boss.
She was quite true to her words. With the exception of expressing her opinion somewhat actively while they were ordering, she focused entirely on eating when the food was served.
The fact that Yan Shuyu had thoroughly enjoyed the meal had a lot to do with how gentlemanly the boss was. No matter how unlady-like she looked as she was eating, the boss had never shown any signs of contempt. Quite contrarily, he would occasionally pour her more wine, asked if she wanted anything else, and if she wanted desserts or other beverages.
Under his impeccable attentiveness, Yan Shuyu quickly started eating worry-free. Her very first French cuisine almost her had her holding up her stomach on her way out.
With the boss next to her, naturally there was no more need for subway. Yan Shuyu got a ride in the fancy car to take her home. Sitting in the elegant real leather seat, she rubbed her belly contently.
The car that came to pick up the boss was not the same one as the one in the afternoon. She might be able to recognize BMW and Mercedes, but she had no idea what any of the boss’s cars were, except that they all looked very fancy. It was comfortable inside too. Someone opening the doors for her to get in and out of, that was the epitome of enjoyment. Yan Shuyu deemed it worthwhile to take advantage of the boss’s free drinks, free food, and free rides.
Half an hour later, the car pulled up steadily in front of her building. Yan Shuyu held up her stomach and picked up her loot and happily bid farewell with the boss before she exited the car. As she was about to walk into her building, she suddenly recalled something – immediately after she had transmigrated over here, she was being very careful and wanted to stay as far away from the boss as possible. By the same token, did she just screw herself over by offering up her address today?
And that was the moment she truly questioned her own IQ. Looking at the boss’s luxurious car that was now driving away, it’d be so much easier for the boss to find her in the future. It was a tragedy that she was too poor to move.
As Yan Shuyu was standing downstairs questioning her own life choices, the chauffeur saw her from the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but smile and said to the boss, “Boss Zhou, it seems Miss Yan was still standing there seeing you off.”
Boss Zhou was leaning back and resting with his eyes closed. It may look as though he hadn’t paid too much attention to the chauffeur’s words, but his mouth, nonetheless, had curved upward.
