After that, Lin Jiage didn't respond to her message anymore.
Shi Yao put down her phone and continued eating. At the same time, she said to Han Jing apologetically, "Senior Han, I'm sorry, but I might not be able to return to school with you later."
"I just received a message. A grandfather who treats me very well has suddenly fallen gravely ill, and he really wants to meet me. So, I'll be heading to the hospital to visit him later."
"I see …" Even though Han Jing's confession had been rejected, he didn't give up just because of that. So, he quickly added, "… I'll call a car to take you to the hospital later."
Saying so, he asked, "Which hospital?"
"There's no need for that. My grandfather has already sent someone to pick me up," Shi Yao hurriedly replied. After which, she added, "Thank you, Senior Han."
Han Jing smiled. "Shi Yao, there's no need for you to stand on ceremony with me."
…
Heh, of course I'm going to stand on ceremony with you!
Lin Jiage muttered under his breath as he gestured for the waiter to pay the bill.
While he was swiping his card at the front desk, Lin Jiage said, "I'll have to trouble you to pay for Table 46 as well."
The waiter was taken aback. Thinking that she had heard wrongly, she asked, "Sir, are you saying that you're paying for Table 46 and Table 45?"
Lin Jiage nodded. He was so stingy that he didn't say a word.
"Very well. Sir, please wait a moment," the waiter replied as she began typing out the bill.
After reporting the price to Lin Jiage, just as Lin Jiage was about to key in his password, the waiter couldn't help but take a few more glances at Lin Jiage's handsome face. Then, she asked nosily, "Sir, why are you paying for that table as well?"
The waiter was in charge of tables 41 to 50, so when she heard Han Jing's confession to Shi Yao earlier, even though Lin Jiage hadn't said a word, she couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you also a suitor of that girl like that mister?"
How am I the same as that mister?
I've already had a status even before I was born! That mister … Heh …
Lin Jiage still didn't say a word, but the force he used to sign the bill had clearly increased.
Because he was in a bad mood, after signing the bill, he put down the pen and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he seemed to have thought of something and retreated. He said to the waiter who was in charge of paying for him, "Oh right, just tell them that the bill has been paid. Don't say too many irrelevant things."
Although the waiter nodded in agreement, he still blurted out, "Why?"
Lin Jiage didn't respond. As he turned around to leave, he thought in his mind: Why? The reason was simple. If you wanted to court Soft Bun, you'd have to wait and see whether he would allow it or not. As long as he didn't allow it, he wouldn't even give you the chance to foot the bill!
…
"Sir, Miss, the bill for your table has already been paid."
While Shi Yao and Han Jing were fighting to be the first to pay the bill, the attendant spoke up with a smile.
The two of them were puzzled for a long time before they left the restaurant.
The Lin Family's chauffeur had already arrived, so Shi Yao and Han Jing parted at the entrance of the restaurant.
The car drove along the night streets of Beijing, and roughly twenty minutes later, the chauffeur's phone rang.
It was hard to tell who was calling, but the chauffeur replied with a few respectful "Mm" before hanging up. Then, he turned to Shi Yao and said politely, "Miss Shi, Auntie Sun just called to inform you that Grandpa Lin has already gone to bed, so there's no need for you to head to the hospital at such a late hour. She instructed me to send you back to school."
