Chapter 137: What Comes Is Safe

In a luxurious restaurant, Zhang Lin was standing in the hall, and just wanted to ask the waiter about it, she saw Mu Cheng waving to her. Zhang Lin and Mu Cheng sat together, and the atmosphere was very warm and luxurious. Zhang Lin had never had such a dining experience, and she began to worry about the problem of paying the bills and whether the money she brought was enough. She quickly picked up the menu, pretending to be elegant, and pretending to be casual in its browsing. However, the price figures on the menu left her dumbfounded. Numbers 588, 999, 1288, and others surprised her one after the other. She realized that the price of a large table of meals at the company could be just the price of a single dish here. However, she immediately thought about it, after all, there were only two of them, and they could order a maximum of three dishes. She gritted her teeth and grudgingly accepted the fact.

Zhang Lin politely asked Mu Cheng to order food, and said that he would pay for it today to thank Mu Cheng for his rescue that day. Mu Cheng sat opposite Zhang Lin and took the menu with a smile, clapped his hands gently, and motioned for the waiter to come over. The waiter respectfully walked over and asked with a smile, "Sir, what do you need to order?" Mu Cheng smiled faintly, swept his gaze over the various delicacies on the menu, and then said confidently: "Let's have a luxurious set meal, which includes a fresh seafood platter, roast beef, foie gras, black truffle pasta, and top red wine." Zhang Lin listened to Mu Cheng's order, and struggled a little in her heart, but still smiled and nodded, and then said to the waiter, "Just do what this gentleman said." The waiter respectfully accepted the order, smiled and prepared to turn away. Suddenly, Zhang Lin said: "I'll see if there's anything to add to the menu." She took the menu and found the price of the luxury package that Mu Cheng said just now, the number of 5188 shocked her whole person, this is her two months' salary, and it is hard to say whether there is so much money in the card now. In order to suppress her embarrassment, she pretended to be elegant, handed it to the waiter again, and said, "Forget it, if there is no suitable one, let's do it first!" ”

Mu Cheng looked at Zhang Lin, noticed her strange expression, and probably guessed her thoughts. Recently, Zhang Lin has been wanting to have dinner with him, but due to the matter of the fish pond, he has been busy these days and has no time to meet her. However, today he finally finished dealing with the affairs, and suddenly remembered Zhang Lin's invitation, so he decided to take the initiative to invite her to a meal. This restaurant was recommended by the other party when he dined with Li Jing a few days ago, and he also wanted to try it. However, he watched Zhang Lin's expression change when she looked at the menu, although she had always behaved very elegantly, Mu Cheng noticed her instantaneous change. He found it all interesting, so he chose to remain silent and not break the atmosphere.

After the waiter left, Zhang Lin didn't speak, staring intently at the plate in front of her. The atmosphere became awkward, Mu Cheng observed quietly, his heart was full of curiosity, and he really wanted to open Zhang Lin's memory fragments and see the story behind it. However, he restrained his curiosity and chose to remain quiet.

Zhang Lin was grateful and kept thinking about inviting Mu Cheng to a meal to express her gratitude. However, when she had just ordered, she began to waver. She suddenly remembered that she had heard some wine and food trays from her colleagues before, which made her feel uneasy. Every dish at this restaurant was expensive, and there were only two of them who ordered such a hearty meal. What made her feel even more wrong was a bottle of red wine, which seemed to be much more expensive than the ones on the market. This made her more angry the more she thought about it, and Mu Cheng's previous tall and glorious image in her heart began to change. However, she kept telling herself that this time it was to thank him for a grand victory, after all, he saved her, even if she was slaughtered, it didn't matter, it was just once.

After thinking about it, Zhang Lin raised his head and saw the red wine that had already been poured. She picked up her wine glass and said, "Mu Cheng, thank you very much!" A toast to you. Mu Cheng looked at Zhang Lin and felt that her words were a little strange. Still, he raised his glass and touched it with her. He took a small sip and just put down the wine glass, but found that Zhang Lin's wine glass was empty, and he drank it all in one sip. At this time, Mu Cheng felt a little embarrassed, is this lady so bold? As a man, he felt like he was a little petty. At this point, he didn't know if he should pick up his glass again and finish it, or wait for the next one.

Zhang Lin saw that Mu Cheng only took a sip of red wine, she didn't realize the truth that red wine should be tasted slowly, but she was even more convinced that Mu Cheng was a wine tray, deliberately ordering so many dishes, and she didn't use chopsticks herself, she was worried that there might be more accidents waiting for her. She had considered slapping the table and getting up and leaving immediately, but she specifically looked around and observed the situation. I don't know if she's a little scared or she's comforting herself as a way to thank others. In short, she did nothing.

Suddenly, Zhang Lin thought that since she had ordered so many dishes, she would try to eat as much as possible, so as to get back to her roots. She sped up her eating, gobbling it up. Mu Cheng looked at Zhang Lin opposite, confused by her sudden behavior, and didn't understand what she was doing at all.

At this moment, Zhang Lin's mobile phone suddenly rang. She saw the caller ID and had a headache on her face. The call was her boss, and she hesitated, not knowing whether to answer or not. However, she thought that there was no need to maintain a good image in front of Mu Cheng, so she decisively picked up the phone. But as soon as she put it to her ear, she took the phone away again. The reason was that the voice on the other end of the phone was full of anger and questioned her. Originally, she wanted to apologize to her boss, but when she thought that her boss always let her drink for socials, if she hadn't socialized so late, she wouldn't have had to take a taxi home, and she wouldn't have encountered what happened that day. Today she had something to do, but she was forced to participate in the entertainment, coupled with the fact that Mu Cheng's tall and glorious image collapsed instantly, making her feel that the whole world had become gray, and she felt very wronged. She put her phone close to her ear, and suddenly shouted emotionally: "I said something, don't you understand?" Then she hung up the phone and threw herself on the table and cried.

Mu Cheng was shocked when he saw everything in front of him, and the surrounding restaurant guests also turned to their tables. Mu Cheng has never experienced such a situation, he can't stand a woman crying the most, but today it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him! Seeing this scene, the waiter walked up to them, patted Zhang Lin lightly on the shoulder, and asked with concern what happened. Then he said to Mu Cheng: "Sir, please come and comfort your girlfriend!" Zhang Lin hurriedly explained that they were not a couple, and she also realized the embarrassment of the situation, picked up a tissue and began to wipe her tears. The people around heard Zhang Lin's denial that Mu Cheng was her boyfriend, but they were even more convinced that the couple was arguing.
