Chapter 576: A Chance Encounter in a Restaurant
"There are no guests today, I'll close when I help this guest wrap this bouquet of flowers." Shangguan Wanbai spoke, continuing the work in hand.
She has quick hands and feet, and her movements are graceful, pruning the overly long branches, matching them with other decorative leaves, and then wrapping the bouquet in a piece of vintage wrapping paper and tying a beautiful bow with a ribbon.
"Hello, the bouquet you asked for is ready, please go to the front desk to checkout." Shangguan Wanbai smiled and handed the bouquet to the female guest.
The female guest had been secretly looking at Li Zi'an just now, and it was only when she heard Shangguan Wanbai call her that she came back to her senses, and ran out shyly after settling the account.
Shangguan Wanbai looked at the female guests who ran away, and couldn't help but quip: "You are really as popular as ever." β
Li Zi'an raised a wicked smile meaninglessly, and suddenly approached Shangguan Wanbai's side: "What? Are you jealous? β
"You think too much, don't feel too good about yourself!" Shangguan Wanbai was ashamed and annoyed.
"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner." Li Zi'an said.
Shangguan Wanbai took off the apron he was wearing when he was working, and said awkwardly: "Why should I have dinner with you, there should be many people who ask you to eat, you go to them." β
"Didn't you eat too? You must have been strained with your family lately, so instead of going back and eating with them, you should eat with me. β
Li Zi'an walked over and took Shangguan Wanbai's hand without saying anything: "Besides, I just want to eat with you, and I'm not interested in anyone else, let's go!" β
The man led her out domineeringly, with a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Hey, wait! Wait for me to lock the door of the flower shop! β
Half an hour later, Shangguan Wanbai followed Li Zi'an to an upscale revolving restaurant in the center of the city, which serves French food.
"Why don't I go back and change my clothes first." Shangguan Wanbai looked down at the simple skirt on his body, and then at the glamorous men and women around him, and felt that it seemed inappropriate.
"It doesn't matter, you look good in whatever you wear, you don't care how others wear it." Li Zi'an saw through her careful thinking and said with a smile.
"How are you talking slimy now?" Shangguan Wanbai saw Li Zi'an talking about love seriously, and his cheeks were a little hot.
"Don't you like it?" Li Zi'an looked at her seriously.
"It's not ......," Shangguan Wanbai suddenly shy.
The two of them ordered a table of authentic French food, and also ordered a bottle of fine red wine, Shangguan Wanbai has been away from France for a year, and he has not eaten such authentic French food for a long time, so he is very happy.
"This restaurant just opened this year, and a business partner recommended it to me before, so it's rare to come and taste it with you today." Li Zi'an smiled and raised his red wine glass to her.
"It tastes really good, thank you for inviting me to dinner." Shangguan also raised his glass, and the two of them touched the cup.
Halfway through eating, Shangguan Wanbai got up and went to the bathroom, she walked along the long corridor, and at a corner she bumped into a person head-on.
"I'm sorry!" Shangguan Wanbai hurriedly apologized.
"Wanbai? Why are you here? A familiar man's voice rang out.
Shangguan Wanbai raised his head and saw Jian Maoxun standing in front of him with a stunned face, and was immediately surprised, he didn't expect to meet him here.
Today she came over to dinner with Li Zi'an, and Li Zi'an was still waiting for her in the position, it would be bad if the two men met.
Shangguan Wanbai panicked in his heart, and his eyes were a little evasive: "I, I heard that the food here is delicious, come and taste it, it's a coincidence." β
Jian Maoxun said happily: "It's a coincidence, I came here with a friend, why don't you come over and share a table with us?" β
"No!" Shangguan Wanbai hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
Then she pushed Jian Maoxun away and ran towards the women's bathroom in a panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she entered the bathroom, and after going to the toilet, Shangguan Wanbai washed her hands and walked out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked outside, she saw Jian Maoxun waiting for her in the corridor opposite the bathroom, and her heart instantly panicked.
"I haven't finished talking to you just now, why are you in such a hurry? By the way, did you come alone? Jian Maoxun threw away the cigarette in his hand and walked to Shangguan Wanbai's side with a smile.
"No, I'm also coming here with friends, so it's inconvenient for us to share a table, so I'll go back first." Shangguan Wanbai lowered his head and walked quickly towards the restaurant.
Jian Maoxun frowned and followed, he kept a distance from Shangguan Wanbai, and saw her walk to a position close to the window.
But because of the angle, the person who came with Shangguan Wanbai was facing away from him, and the seat blocked the person so firmly that Jian Maoxun couldn't see the person's face clearly.
ββ¦β¦ Who the hell is it? Jian Maoxun frowned.
At this time, his friend called and asked him if something had happened and he hadn't come back for so long, Jian Maoxun said apologetically that he had met an acquaintance and chatted a few words, and now he will go back immediately.
Jian Maoxun secretly noted down Shangguan Wanbai's location, and then walked back to his place.
"Wanbai, why have you been so long? I thought you had been kidnapped by the bad guys and was about to save you. Li Zi'an quipped.
"There were a bit of people in the bathroom just now, so I waited a while." Shangguan Wanbai lied uncomfortably.
Li Zi'an didn't care, and the two continued to eat delicious food and chatted happily.
"Your flower shop is too small, why don't I help you find a shop with a good location and a lot of space." Li Zi'an proposed.
"No need, I specially rented a small shop, so that such a person can be busy." Shangguan Wanbai smiled and shook his head.
She opens her shop not only to make money, but because of her hobbies, and when she hands the packaged bouquets to customers, she has a sense of accomplishment and a better mood.
"Okay then." Li Zi'an looked at her helplessly with a smile, "I will support you in whatever you do, remember to tell me if you need help." β
"Okay." Shangguan Wanbai nodded.
The two of them had almost eaten and were about to leave, when a tall man came up to them, and he was standing in front of them.
"Wanbai, it turns out that the friend you said about eating together is Li Zi'an?" Jian Maoxun asked bitterly.
"Maoxun, I'm ......" Shangguan Wanbai lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Any questions?" Li Zi'an stood up, stood in front of Shangguan Wanbai, and looked at Jian Maoxun coldly.
The two men were about the same height, both dressed in suits and leather shoes, and their appearance was impeccable, which immediately attracted the attention of many people around them.
"Wanbai is my fiancΓ©e, don't always harass her, it bothers us a lot." Jian Maoxun tightened his brows, then turned his head and said softly to Shangguan Wanbai, "Go, Wanbai, I'll send you home." β
