Gu Lingling didnāt know about these things, but Liu Yating insisted on celebrating for them and even brought food coupons along. "Letās go, we can eat whatever we want at the state-owned restaurant."
"Itās rare for you to splurge like this, of course weāll eat to our heartsā content," Gu Lingling said with a smile.
But how much can a few young girls eat?
"Isnāt this too much?" Zhao Jingmiao said worriedly.
Four dishes and a soup. They all looked quite expensive. Zhao Jingmiao had never thought she would ever dine at a state-owned restaurant. It was simply too extravagant.
"Itās not too much. There are four of us," Liu Yating said.
Gu Lingling had come here with Yang Yunhai twice before, and she really liked their braised pork ribs, so she ordered them without hesitation.
"You have a good eye. This is their best dish," Liu Yating said with a grin. "You should learn it, so we can make it ourselves at home."
"This isnāt something you can easily learn. They have a unique recipe," Gu Lingling said with a smile. "But we can give it a try at home."
While the taste might not be as authentic as here, it should be quite close.
"Wow, who do we have here?" Suddenly, a male voice came over. "Isnāt this our little sister Yating?"
Liu Yatingās smile vanished as she ungracefully rolled her eyes. "I canāt afford to be your little sister, Yang Yunfeng. We have nothing to do with each other."
Indeed, it was Yang Yunfeng who walked in.
Gu Lingling was sitting with her back to the door, and Liu Yating, being in high spirits, hadnāt looked toward the entrance, so they hadnāt noticed him.
"Huh? So itās you, little girl. Do you guys know each other?" Yang Yunfeng then noticed that sitting across from Liu Yating was Gu Lingling, causing him to smile. "We sure have a connection."
"I donāt know you," Gu Lingling said flatly.
"One meal and you will," Yang Yunfeng said, pulling a chair over from another table and sitting down. "What are you eating? Itās on me."
"Sir," Gu Lingling said calmly. "We donāt know you, so please donāt disturb us while weāre eating."
"Yang Yunfeng, youāre not welcome here, please leave," Liu Yating said angrily.
This guy had been trouble since he was a kid, and he was very sneaky. If Liu Yating had known she would meet Yang Yunfeng here, she wouldnāt have invited them to eat out even if it killed her.
"Why are you always so mean to me?" Yang Yunfeng suddenly said, a bit aggrieved. "Though Iām not your real brother, our families are related. Itās just a meal together."
"Alright then, you guys enjoy," Yang Yunfeng said, standing up and walking to the cashier desk. "What dishes did that table order? How much? Iāll pay for it."
He was referring to Gu Linglingās table.
"Sir, theyāve already paid," the waitress said.
Oh my, last time it was a handsome soldier who came, and now thereās another one. So handsome, and so cool too.
Suddenly, she felt envious of those girls at the table.
If only he could treat them to a meal, that would be wonderful.
"Already paid?" Yang Yunfeng awkwardly scratched his nose. "Then add another dish for them."
"No need, thank you," Liu Yating said flatly. "Weāll order what we want to eat ourselves."
"That works too." Yang Yunfeng, surprisingly not annoyed, even smiled at Liu Yating. "You guys enjoy your meal."
He waved towards Gu Linglingās table, "Goodbye."
...
None of the girls at the table responded to him, and Yang Yunfeng didnāt mind, leaving directly.
"Wasnāt he here to dine? Why did he leave?" Hao Lianlian whispered.
Gu Lingling frowned but didnāt say anything.
