Chapter 291: Chapter 284: The First Face-to-Face Encounter
Leng Yichen brought her to a private restaurant that only serves five tables a day. To eat here, you typically need to reserve half a month in advance to get a spot. Originally, todayâs five reservations were fully booked, but due to Leng Yichenâs sudden decision, the owner had to cancel one of them.
Bai Yiran felt a bit embarrassed looking at the ownerâs attentive demeanor.
"You donât need to feel sorry," Leng Yichen said, "Iâve already given a considerable compensation to todayâs scheduled guest. Itâs a win-win, so you can relax and enjoy your meal here."
Bai Yiran nodded after hearing this, "How did you think of coming here?"
Given Leng Yichenâs usual dining habits, he would certainly never choose such a private restaurant.
"Because you said you wanted to come here."
Leng Yichenâs voice was soft and gentle, sounding especially pleasant to Bai Yiran, "Did I say that?"
Bai Yiran thought carefully for a moment, and she seemed to have said that. At the time she was reading a magazine, and its food column recommended this place. She casually said, âI really want to eat there.â Afterwards, she forgot about it, but didnât expect Leng Yichen would remember.
Looking at the man sitting opposite, Bai Yiranâs face was full of tenderness.
After waiting a while, the owner personally came to serve the dishes. There were five dishes in total, and Bai Yiranâs foodie spirit was awakened again, her eyes lit up looking at the dishes on the table.
Leng Yichen liked seeing Bai Yiranâs cute appearance, his lips constantly smiling, he said, "Hurry up and eat, I see your saliva is about to drop."
Bai Yiran glared at Leng Yichen and started eating each dish.
The magazineâs recommendation wasnât wrong; Bai Yiran found every dish delicious, to the point where she focused entirely on the five dishes.
Leng Yichen ate in a slow and leisurely manner; for every five bites Bai Yiran took, he might only take one, spending other times watching Bai Yiran eat, as if just watching her would fill him up.
After a while, Bai Yiran finally realized and put down her chopsticks, "Just watching me eat fills you up?"
"Hmm." Leng Yichen smiled indulgently.
Scoff!
Bai Yiran scoffed, her pretty eyes gazing at him, "What nonsense you say..."
Leng Yichen gently shook his head, leaned towards Bai Yiran, and softly said, "Donât you know thereâs an idiom âfeasting your eyesâ? Now youâre eating, and when we go home, I feast on you."
Bai Yiran froze for a moment, lightly tapped Leng Yichenâs forehead, "I really want your employees to see this rogue side of you!"
Leng Yichen leaned back, a smile on his lips, "My employees generally donât dare to look me straight in the eye, besides, Iâm only like this with you."
Since reconciling, Bai Yiran found Leng Yichen to be different from before. She felt that the former Leng Yichen treated her more like a child, but now Bai Yiran truly felt she was Leng Yichenâs wife.
After that incident, both of them had grown.
"Yiran!" A manâs voice suddenly rang out from not far away.
Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen simultaneously raised their heads, following the sound, and saw Wu Chengzu walking towards them with a modest smile on his face.
Leng Yichenâs eyes suddenly turned cold, his long eyes sharp like an eagleâs, staring at Wu Chengzu. Ever since that man took Bai Yiran to eat at a roadside stand, Leng Yichen had already tasked Wang Hai to investigate him. But the results were all trivial, this person appeared as clean as a blank sheet.
Yet, with Leng Yichenâs intuition as a man, he knew this Wu Chengzu wasnât as simple as he appeared on the surface.
