After getting into the car, she sent everyone the location for their dinner. Then, she put down her phone and looked at the man with a smile.
“I received a gift from my Master today, and I also received a flower from you. I’m really happy.”
“Well? What did your Master give you?”
“Well… a copy of his work,” Xu Wanwan said, “But this is what I asked for Lin Jianan. It actually doesn’t belong to me.”
Li Jingran’s focus was not on that. “Then which one do you prefer?”
“Huh?”
“Do you prefer your Master’s work or the flowers I gave you?”
Xu Wanwan thought for a moment and said seriously, “I like both!”
“You can only pick one.”
“But they’re not comparable.” Xu Wanwan blinked and replied seriously.
One was a painting from her Master, and the other was a flower from him. She really liked both of them.
If she had to name one, she really couldn’t say which one.
But as soon as she said that, the atmosphere in the car fell silent.
She carefully glanced at the man. Seeing his cold side profile and his thin lips tightly pursed as he drove, she felt a little depressed.
He wouldn’t get angry over such a small matter, would he?
Xu Wanwan quickly thought about it and said softly, “Actually, I like the flowers you sent me. I’ll like whatever you send me!”
Li Jingran remained silent, but the emotions in his eyes had become much gentler.
Xu Wanwan looked at him again and whispered, “Are you angry?”
Angry?
Li Jingran couldn’t help but smile.
In her heart, was he such a petty person?
But he suddenly wanted to see her reaction, so he simply followed her words and said, “Yes, I’m angry.”
The corners of Xu Wanwan’s lips curled up slightly, and she said in puzzlement, “I’m sorry, I won’t say that again.”
“In my heart, you’re the best. Of course, the things you gave me are also the best!”
As she spoke, her tone became softer and softer. “Well, I’ll cook something delicious for you when I get back. Don’t be angry, okay?”
Li Jingran nodded his head without further ado, feeling inexplicably happy.
Was he being coaxed by a little girl like her?
Xu Wanwan was in a good mood again. Along the way, she talked a lot with Li Jingran.
When the two of them arrived at the Night Sky Hotel, it was already six o’clock in the evening.
Li Jingran had already made reservations and the staff led them upstairs.
Xu Wanwan looked at the magnificent decorations in front of her and was amazed.
It must have cost a lot of money to eat in such a high-end hotel.
“Mr. Li, we have prepared the dishes according to your reservation. Would you like to have the dishes served now?”
Li Jingran pulled out a chair for Xu Wanwan and looked at the time with his wrist. “Wait a minute.”
“When will your Master arrive?”
Xu Wanwan reacted and opened her phone to check the message. “He should be here soon.”
After sitting down, Li Jingran pushed the menu in front of Xu Wanwan. “Let’s see if there’s anything else you want to eat.”
Xu Wanwan looked at the English menu and pursed her lips. She ordered a dessert symbolically. “This one!”
“I’ve ordered this dish. Change it.”
“Okay.” Xu Wanwan changed to another dessert. “Then this one.”
“I’ve ordered it too.”
She suddenly looked up and met the man’s deep eyes. “These are my favorites. You’ve ordered all of them?”
Li Jingran nodded indifferently.
Xu Wanwan silently pushed the menu back and smiled contentedly. “That’s great. I’ll order these.”
At that moment, there was a knock on the door from outside the room. The waiter pushed the door open and came in.
“Mr. Li, your friend has arrived.”
Xu Wanwan quickly got up and wanted to greet her Master, but before she could walk forward, Li Jingran walked past her and strode toward the door.
She was a little stunned.
Didn’t they say that Li Jingran was a cold person and didn’t like to come to these ceremonies?
Xu Wanwan stared blankly at him as he walked to the door and extended his hand to her Master.
Master Nanshan was surprised for a moment and couldn’t help but size up the man in front of him who has an extraordinary aura.
Li Jingran’s tone was easy-going. “Hello, I’m Xu Wanwan’s family.”
When Master Nanshan heard that he was Xu Wanwan’s family, the surprise in his eyes immediately disappeared. He reached out his hand in a friendly manner and shook it. “Hello.”
“I’ve long wanted to know what kind of family could nurture Little Xu to be so outstanding.
Seeing you today, you’re indeed extraordinary.”
Li Jingran said courteously, “You’re too polite. Please come in.”
“Jingran, what a coincidence! We actually met here!”
Zhou Lin followed behind Master Nanshan and especially created a feeling of reunion after a long separation.
The moment Li Jingran saw her, his eyes immediately turned cold.
Zhou Lin frowned unhappily when she saw his reaction to her.
What did he mean by this? How could he be so disgusted with her?
Master Nanshan said in surprise, “You two know each other?”
Zhou Lin quickly put away the emotions in her eyes and said with a smile, “Master, this is the engagement partner I mentioned to you before.”
Master Nanshan smiled and said, “That’s really a coincidence.”
Now that he took a closer look, he also felt that his disciple and Li Jingran were very compatible.
Zhou Lin pursed her lips and smiled happily.
“So, you should have known Little Xu a long time ago, right?”
Zhou Lin was startled, but she did not hide it. ‘Yes, we’ve met a few times before.”
“That’s good too. The two of you will take care of each other from now on!”
Xu Wanwan stood at the side and listened to this awkward conversation. She just wanted to end this small talk as soon as possible.
“Master, please take a seat. I’ll make some tea for you.”
Master Nanshan then walked toward the restaurant. After he sat down, he casually looked at his surroundings and gained a rough understanding of Xu Wanwan’s background.
To be able to choose such a high-end hotel for a meal with a stranger meant that the other party was very capable.
The group of people behind also took their seats one by one. Xu Yue’s expression had never been good since she came here. She immediately found a seat in a corner and sat down.
If she had not already come, she really wanted to leave now.
When she saw Xu Wanwan’s beaming face, she was extremely displeased.
Hmph, what’s the point of showing off? Isn’t it just relying on a man?
Zhou Lin sat next to Li Jingran very shrewdly. Her gaze toward Xu Wanwan was full of provocation.
Today was a great opportunity. She must make this country bumpkin make a fool of herself in front of everyone.
After everyone had arrived, the service staff began to serve the dishes.
The spacious crystal table was soon filled with exquisite dishes and some bottles of expensive red wine.
Some of the people present knew a lot about wine. When they saw the red wine on the table, they couldn’t help but ask, “Little Xu, this is Lafite 1869, right?”
Xu Wanwan did not know anything about wine at all. When she was suddenly asked a question, she subconsciously looked at Li Jingran.
Li Jingran gave the lady a reassuring look and said calmly, “Not bad.”
“Oh my God, it’s said that there are only three bottles of this wine in the world!”
Who would have thought that Xu Wanwan’s family would be so generous? It was their first time treating a guest to a meal, and they could already bring out such good wine to entertain the guests..
