Please Take Care of Me, Young Master Quan

Chapter 238: He Looked At the Dishes While She Looked At

“Feel free to order anything you like. As long as it’s seasonal dishes, we, Nanguo, can prepare it,” the lady boss said proudly.

Shen Wan ordered boiled chicken and garlic scallops, leaving the rest to Quan Hanting.

“Red-braised beef, steamed sea bass, lotus root and lily soup,” Quan Hanting quickly stated the dishes.

The landlady swiftly noted them down, repeated the order to confirm, and then turned to the kitchen.

The dishes were served one after another, and it didn’t take long for everything to be on the table.

This was the second time the two of them had eaten together, and compared to the first time, there was a bit more familiarity and a bit less awkwardness.

“Have you noticed that, apart from the soup, everything else is meat?” Shen Wan handed him a bowl.

Quan Hanting took it and filled her bowl with steaming rice before filling his own. “It seems we’re both carnivores.”

Shen Wan agreed wholeheartedly. She loved eating meat, and there was no denying it. “Pass the chopsticks, please.”

Throughout the meal, both of them ate with great seriousness.

To be precise, Shen Wan focused on her food, while the man looked at the dishes and occasionally at her. They each went about their business, not interfering with each other.

“You handle the chopsticks quite well with your left hand,” Quan Hanting suddenly remarked.

Shen Wan paused her chopstick motion and smiled. “Smart people are versatile in ten different ways.”

“Those ten ways definitely don’t include martial prowess.”

She moved her eyebrows lightly. Her martial skills were indeed lacking. When Shen Qian held her chin and she couldn’t resist, Shen Wan realized that sometimes, just using her brain wasn’t enough. She needed to be physically capable too.

“Maybe Sixth Uncle can introduce a master to me?”

“For what purpose?”

“To learn martial arts.”

He cast a critical look at her face, but she met his gaze without flinching, appearing entirely composed.

Suddenly, he chuckled lightly. “With your slender arms and legs, you want to learn how to fight?”

“It’s not about fighting; it’s about practicing martial arts.”

“But it’s still for fighting.”

“Wait until you’re fully healed.”

“Hmm?” Shen Wan was momentarily surprised.

Quan Hanting picked a scallop and placed it in her bowl. “I mean, wait until your injury has healed before you start training.”

“You agreed?!”

The man glanced at her inexplicably with a hint of grievance. “I’m not like you, always hiding things and guarding against everything, not agreeing to this, not approving of that…”

Shen Wan simply pretended not to hear him and focused on her meal.

Sixth Lord:”…”

After the meal, Shen Wan intended to settle the bill but was preempted by Quan Hanting.

“Didn’t I say I’m treating?”

The man spoke earnestly, “You’re treating, and I’m paying, not contradictory.”

Shen Wan:

The plot was too intricate, and she was caught off guard.

They walked back along the street. It was a rare overcast day in summer, and the breeze carried a hint of coolness.

Ten minutes later, they reached the street corner, crossed the road, and arrived at the parking area.

Quan Hanting dropped her off at her company. During the journey, Shen Wan dozed off for a moment. She woke up as the car came to a stop.

Since her head was turned to the side, the first thing she saw was the man’s distinct yet refined profile. His eyes were slender, his nose high, and his unconsciously pursed thin lips formed a subtle curve.

In both of her lifetimes, she had never seen a more handsome man than him.

Even from a distance, he was a sight to behold.

Suddenly, the man turned his head, and their eyes met. “Woke up?”

“Yeah.”

“Give me your hand.”

Maybe it was because she was still half-asleep or feeling momentarily at ease that she followed his instruction without hesitation. Shen Wan simply extended her hand…

A cold touch pressed against her palm, and she lowered her gaze. A platinum chain was lying quietly in her hand, set with white diamonds that refracted fine and brilliant light.

It was…. the Ares Tears?!
