Chapter 297 You Can Only Marry Me
Ning Yuechen walked into the restaurant that had been booked in advance, and under the guidance of the waiter, he sat down at a window seat, and just stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
Not long after, a pretty girl with long hair sat down opposite her and introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Lin Zilu."
After that, she added timidly, "You look even better in person than in the photo."
Ning Yuechen smiled softly and said, "You are also very beautiful."
As she spoke, she pushed the menu on the table to the other party, raised her hand to signal the waiter who had been waiting not far away to come over, and then said: "The specialties and desserts of this restaurant are very good, you can try them all."
Lin Zilu stole another glance at her and said, "I'm fine with anything. You order. I'm not picky about food and I don't have any dietary restrictions."
Ning Yuechen did not refuse and said directly: "When we were chatting before, you mentioned that you like to eat seafood. Their lobster bisque is good, and the salmon sauce and tomato beef soup are also very special. Do you want to try it?"
Lin Zilu's eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, I like all of these."
Ning Yuechen smiled at her, then said to the waiter beside him in fluent French, "In addition to what I just said, bring two more of today's new original cut butter steaks, an avocado salad, a meat roll, and two glasses of lemon juice."
"OK, just a second."
After the waiter left, Lin Zilu looked at her with some admiration: "You speak French very well, did you learn it when you were young?"
"Yep."
Ning Yuechen nodded and said briefly, "When I was in school, the school offered a compulsory French course."
"I went to international schools for middle school and high school. Unfortunately, I don't have much talent for languages. My English is just okay," said Lin Zilu.
"Did you study abroad?" Ning Yuechen asked, following her topic.
"Yes, because my aunt settled in Country M, so I have been studying there since I graduated from elementary school. I returned to China right after I graduated this year, and I still want to work in China."
"That's good. Our country's economy is developing very well now. Some international students I know have chosen to return to China for development. You majored in art in college. Do you plan to continue to work in a related field?"
"Yes, my family is helping me prepare to open a Starry Sky Art Museum, which will display some of my award-winning works and paintings from college. I can invite you to visit when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll definitely go if I have the chance."
At this time, the waiter came to serve the dishes, and the two stopped talking. After their orders were served, Lin Zilu continued to find a topic: "I heard that you started from scratch and have come all the way to where you are today. I have met career-oriented women with similar experiences as you before. When I saw you today, I admired you even more."
"Ms. Lin, you're too kind. I can't say I'm a strong woman, but it's just a little better than working for others, and I have more freedom in my time."
Lin Zilu saw that her words and actions revealed the qualities of a lady from a noble family. She was not at all as cruel, shrewd and strong as the rumors said. She liked her more and more.
Just as she was about to get to know the other person better, her cell phone rang. It was her mother calling. She could only say sorry and then got up and went to a corner to answer the call.
Ning Yuechen looked indifferently at the girl not far away as her expression changed from relief to confusion, and finally to grievance, without any surprise in his heart.
I just feel a little sorry for her. She has no intention of enjoying such a delicious dinner tonight.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, Lin Zilu came over with heavy steps, bowed and apologized: "Sorry, I have something to do at home, and I have to go back now. I'm sorry for taking up your time, let me treat you to dinner today."
Ning Yuechen stood up and faced her, saying sympathetically, "It's okay. Family matters are the most important. I invited you to this meal. You don't have to be so polite to me."
Lin Zilu looked at her with some reluctance. She couldn't understand why her family would not agree with such an outstanding and strong woman, and even threatened to cut off her credit card. Even though she felt it was a pity, she had to give up.
When she walked out of the restaurant with regret, a woman happened to walk towards her. She originally just glanced at her casually, but after seeing her appearance clearly, she couldn't help but look at her again.
Not only is the food in this restaurant delicious, but the girls dining there are all stunningly beautiful, especially this one, with her cool and dignified features and strong aura, she looks like a character from a comic book. Especially her pair of deep but bright narrow eyes, they are so beautiful.
Lin Zilu was stunned for a moment. As the two passed each other, the long-haired woman who had been looking straight ahead suddenly turned her head to look at her. The deep hostility in her eyes made her wake up instantly.
She looked at the woman who walked into the restaurant and blinked a little slowly.
If I saw it right, did that woman glare at me just now? I just glared at her a few more times, was there any need to be so angry?
Ning Yuechen ate the steak on the plate leisurely, ignoring the person sitting opposite him.
Just when she was almost done eating, Bai Yi said, "If you like his house so much, I can accompany you to dine here in the future, or buy it for you, it depends on your wishes."
"Boss Bai, are you always so free?"
Ning Yuechen looked at her calmly: "I really underestimated your ability to call the wind and rain. Even a noble family like the Lin family dare not offend you."
"I really don't have such a great ability. It's just an exchange of interests."
"So no matter who I go on a blind date with in the future, the person sitting opposite me can only be you, is that what you mean?"
Bai Yi looked at the half-used plate in front of him with disgust, asked the waiter to clear it away, and then said, "Why are you in such a hurry to get married? Is it because you want to avoid me?"
"It's not just because of you. Another reason is that I'm old enough to get married and I want to have a family of my own."
Ning Yuechen looked at her numbly: "Bai Yi, not everyone can be like you, who regards the mundane world as dispensable sand and just lives out the value of their own life. Sometimes when you are bored, you find someone to play with feelings, and when you get tired of it, you just throw it away. But I am different, I am just an ordinary person who just wants to live an ordinary life. Not to mention that I am old now, and both physically and mentally, I can't satisfy the kind of bad taste you used to like. So, I ask you to spare my life, okay?"
Bai Yi listened to her quietly, and then gave his own answer: "Ning Yuechen, when I let go four years ago, I really wanted you to return to your own free life. I have always been sincere to you, and you are the only person I love in my life."
She looked at the man with a sarcastic look in his eyes and said, "I'll take you to a place."
