Chapter 22 Romantic dinner
Before Qin Yue started the car, he lifted his hand to gently stroke the corner of his lips. A faint smile appeared in his cold eyes. Jian Ran looked just like she did three years ago.
The car rolled slowly out of the parking lot and quickly merged into the noisy traffic of the city. However, the interior of the car was so quiet that even the breathing of the two of them seemed a little loud.
Jian Ran sat upright and looked out of the window. She didn't dare to look Qin Yue in the eye, but she couldn't help but secretly look at him.
He was very serious as he drove, looking straight ahead, as if what had just happened had never happened.
Jian Ran's mouth twitched as she thought in her heart — An aloof man!
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a skyscraper.
Qin Yue threw the car keys to the staff member and walked into the hall with Jian Ran.
The skyscraper was 69 stories high, and was the tallest building in Asia when it was built. It was also the landmark building that had been in Jiangbei City for many years.
The skyscraper was located in the most prosperous business center of Jiangbei City, it had many people and many tall buildings, especially on the top floor of the skyscraper where the sightseeing restaurant would be even more famous.
Many visitors from other places would come in for tickets, sit quietly and enjoy a cup of coffee while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Fragrant River City, which was separated by the Jiangbei River.
When Jian Ran first came to the Jiangbei, she had come with Ling Feiyu before. Just the entrance fee to this building was eighty yuan, and there was no need to mention the price of the dishes in the viewing district.
However, even though it was expensive, there was still an endless stream of customers coming and going every day, as if it had never stopped. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦
Today, it was still not eight o'clock in the evening. Jian Ran was surprised, but when she waited for the elevator, she saw no one else.
Just as Jian Ran was thinking this, her hand was once again held by the warm big hand. Qin Yue took her hand and led her to the VIP staircase, then they headed straight to the 69th floor.
His hand was really warm, or perhaps Jian Ran's hand was really cold. When he held her hand like this, Jian Ran really loved the warmth he gave her.
She looked up at him and smiled: "Qin Yue, you're inviting me here for di
er?"
He stood very straight, facing the elevator door, and just as Jian Ran thought he wouldn't answer, she heard him say, "Yes."
It was just a simple "En", but Jian Ran felt it was enough. He spoke very little, and she didn't know it until today.
Not long after, the elevator arrived at the 69th floor. The place which used to be packed with people was now very quiet. Other than the staff members, no one else could be seen.
The LOVE restaurant was surrounded by roses of all colors. In the middle of the room, there was a table, and on the table, the roses were arranged in the shape of a heart.
"Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, this way please!" The beautiful waitress came up to welcome him, saying some polite words, but she didn't even look at Jian Ran.
The waiter's gaze almost fell on Qin Yue, as if he didn't care that Jian Ran was with Qin Yue.
Jian Ran thought to herself, 'A woman's looks are a disaster. This man is a monster!' When this woman looked at the handsome man, her gaze was even simpler and more rough than a man's when he looked at a beautiful woman.
Qin Yue suddenly stopped and looked at the waitress coldly: "Tell your manager to come over."
The waitress laughed: "Mr. Qin, I am the person in charge of this restaurant."
Qin Yue's brows twitched as he said gloomily, "It's time to change the person in charge of this restaurant."
The female service perso
el's smile instantly turned into a wry smile, but her professional standards still forced her to force out a smile, and she said: "Mr. Qin, please come over here. I'll get the others to come over."
After they sat down, Jian Ran couldn't hold back her laughter.
Qin Yue looked at her strangely: "What's so fu
y?"
Jian Ran forced herself not to laugh and looked up at him. "Do you always treat women that way?"
"You like me?" Qin Yue raised his eyebrows and said straightforwardly, "I don't like her."
The female attendant from before had a really good figure. Ordinary men wouldn't reject her so easily.
Perhaps it was the first time that the woman had been rejected in such an obvious ma
er, which was why her expression turned so unsightly in that instant.
Jian Ran suddenly thought of what Ling Feiyu had said and couldn't help but take a glance at Qin Yue. Normal men couldn't bear to refuse a beauty; could it be that Qin Yue really didn't like women?
Thinking of this, the way Jian Ran looked at Qin Yue seemed to be quite curious.
If he really didn't like women, was that good or bad for her?
A melodious music played. It was a song that Jian Ran was very familiar with and liked very much. It was your fragrance.
Listening to her, Jian Ran couldn't help but start humming along. Her eyebrows shot up, and her eyes were clear and sparkling. She looked just like a fairy.
Jian Ran snorted and felt an unusually gentle gaze. When she looked up, she saw Qin Yue looking at her quietly.
She smiled at him. "It's one of my favorite songs."
Qin Yue signaled the waiter to pour them some red wine and lightly raised his glass. "Do you want some?"
Jian Ran glanced at Lafite in 82. This kind of wine was extremely expensive for a working class like her. Normally, she wouldn't even have the chance to drink it. Now that she had a tycoon's boss to treat her to, of course, she wouldn't be polite.
She raised her glass and clinked it with Qin Yue. "Cheers!"
Qin Yue raised his eyebrows: "Cheers!"
Jian Ran raised her glass and downed the wine in it with a grand air.
Qin Yue shook his head helplessly: "This isn't how you drink wine."
It wasn't because he felt sorry for the wine, but because the way Jian Ran drank was easy to get drunk and she didn't seem like a woman at all. It was more like the wild Jian Ran that was hidden deep in her bones.
Three years ago, Jian Ran had possessed an energy that made people yearn for her youth. Now, Jian Ran had hidden all the curves in her body that she had three years ago, and there was an extra sense of tranquility in her.
Whether it was three years ago or three years later, the only thing Jian Ran didn't change was her optimism about life and her enthusiasm for work.
Jian Ran didn't finish her thought. Instinctively, she licked her cherry lips, which were shining like water.
It was an unintentional action, but Qin Yue's eyes were filled with charm. A different light slowly rose in his eyes.
Jian Ran didn't know what was going on and hurriedly said, "This wine tastes pretty good. I want another pre-meal bar."
This time, Qin Yue stopped the waiter. He personally poured a cup for Jian Ran and said, "Drink slowly."
"Alright." "Yes," Jian Ran answered, but her body refused to obey him as she gulped down the wine in her cup once again.
"Drinking wine on an empty stomach is easy to get drunk." Qin Yue gestured for the waiter to serve the dishes.
He had someone prepare two pieces of fruit salad and a fillet steak, both of which were cooked to perfection.
It was almost nine in the evening. Jian Ran hadn't eaten lunch, so she couldn't wait to take action as soon as the steak was served.
However, when her knife and fork made a sound, Qin Yue remained silent as if nothing had happened.
