Chapter 201: Chapter 194: Man of Action
When ordering, Ming Kai handed the menu to Bai Yiran. He wasnāt particularly enthusiastic about hot pot nor did he have any special requirements for what to eat. Bai Yiran took the menu without hesitation; she didnāt want to develop a romantic relationship, so there was no need to act overly reserved in front of him.
Following her own preferences, Bai Yiran ordered a table full of dishes.
Ming Kai was somewhat surprised, they were just two people, and he thought they couldnāt finish all that food. He assumed Bai Yiran must be one of those women who have a big appetite but a small stomach.
But, as it turned out, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Bai Yiran could definitely finish it. He was captivated by Bai Yiranās manner of eating.
Bai Yiranās eating style wasnāt grand, but it made people feel appetized just by watching her. She put large bites into her mouth, chewed slowly, then grabbed another big bite and chewed slowly again.
Ming Kai was amazed to discover that watching Bai Yiran eat was a kind of enjoyment. He was a doctor, who always had endless patients to see every day, and his mealtime was usually squeezed in, often just taking a couple of rushed bites before putting down his utensils to do rounds or perform surgery. For so long, he ate merely to live, and it had been a long time since he enjoyed the act of eating.
But now, watching Bai Yiran, her focus on food deeply influenced him, causing him to unwittingly eat a lot too.
After eating and drinking to satisfaction, Bai Yiran looked completely content and noticed Ming Kai looking at her, feeling a bit uneasy, "Is there something on my face?"
"No," Ming Kai turned his head with a smile and called the waiter to settle the bill.
As they walked out of the restaurant, there was still a long line outside. Bai Yiran looked at the seemingly endless queue, thinking to herself that in todayās world, you need connections even just to have a meal.
"Where do you live? Iāll take you home." Ming Kai offered to take Bai Yiran home after they left the restaurant.
Bai Yiran didnāt refuse, "Then thank you."
In the car, neither of them spoke. Bai Yiran felt a little awkward, trying to find a topic but couldnāt think of anything to say.
Ming Kai drove Bai Yiran to the building where she rented an apartment.
"Iām here, thank you for today," Bai Yiran politely said goodbye, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car. She stood by the car window, waved at Ming Kai, and turned to go upstairs.
Ming Kai watched Bai Yiranās silhouette, suddenly feeling a bit regretful. Why didnāt he get her contact information?
Looking up, Ming Kai gazed at the building where Bai Yiran lived. Itās okay, at least he knows the address.
Bai Yiran returned home, put down her handbag, went to the bedroom to fetch clean underwear and pajamas, and was about to head to the bathroom for a shower. Her phone rang; she assumed it was Yao Zhiqing calling to ask about her blind date, so she picked up the call without looking.
"Itās me..."
The clothes in Bai Yiranās hand instantly dropped to the floor.
"I know youāre home. Iām downstairs from your building. You have five minutes, either come down, or Iāll come up."
Bai Yiran walked to the window, and sure enough, there was a Maybach parked downstairs. She hurriedly pulled the curtains closed and leaned against the wall, her mind in chaos.
She didnāt want to see him, at least not yet.
How did he know she was back, and how did he find this place?
Five minutes...
Bai Yiran looked up at the clock, watching the second hand tick away.
She knew, Leng Yichen was a man of action, he would do what he said.
If she didnāt go down in five minutes, that man would definitely come up!
