Ding Yijing tilted her head and gave him a disdainful look. Her pretty face was full of smiles, making her look tender and charming. Li Rui saw this and his heart was filled with love. He couldn't help but reach out and grab her soft hand. Ding Yijing didn't say anything and focused on driving.
After driving for about 15 minutes, they finally stopped in front of a large restaurant decorated in an ancient style.
Ding Yijing opened her mouth and said, "This Ding Food Pavilion is one of the more famous restaurants in Jingnan. The dishes are very special and the taste is very good. You haven't eaten here before, right? I'll bring you in to try it today. "Li Rui smiled and said," Sure, looks like I'm in for a treat tonight. "
The two of them got out of the car. Ding Yijing took her handbag while Li Rui only took his wallet and phone. They entered the restaurant one after the other. This Ding Food Pavilion's business was indeed very good. It was already half past seven but there were no seats. There were six to seven diners sitting on the aisle sofa near the counter. Li Rui saw this scene and felt even hungrier. His stomach churned but since he was already in, he had no choice but to sit down and wait after getting a number from Ding Yijing.
"You can take a look at the menu first!"
Ding Yijing took a thick cookbook and handed it to him.
Li Rui didn't take it but looked at her with a bitter smile and said softly, "Do you think I'm not starving to death fast enough?" Ding Yijing frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?" Li Rui explained, "I'm already starving to death but you're still letting me look at the delicious food. Aren't you making me hungrier?" Ding Yijing sneered and opened the menu on her lap and said, "I'll look at it if you don't want to!" Li Rui suggested softly, "Dear, why don't we go to another restaurant? It's fine as long as we can eat our fill. Hurry up and finish eating. After eating, I still want to … "Ding Yijing looked up at him alertly and said," What do you want to do? " Li Rui saw her alert and nervous expression and couldn't help but laugh. He said softly, "What do you think I want to do? Go home with you and consummate my marriage? "
Ding Yijing scolded him and blushed.
Li Rui whispered, "I just want to take you to the Spring department store in Paris and buy you some clothes. What are you thinking? Am I that shameless? Is that the only thing on your mind? " Hearing this, Ding Yijing was slightly moved. She looked at him deeply, her beautiful eyes filled with a bit of shyness and moved expression. Li Rui continued, "Besides, even if I really think that way, so what? Didn't you agree to give it to me long ago? Moreover, you were the one who took the initiative both times, and I gave up both times. Otherwise … Hmph, you would have been my real wife by now. "Ding Yijing was so embarrassed that she reached out and pinched his leg hard.
"Now that there's a private room available, is there anyone who wants to use it?"
The waitress who called the number suddenly walked out and announced the latest news to the customers. Li Rui and Ding Yijing heard this and looked at her.
A middle-aged man asked, "How much is it?" The waitress replied, "The minimum charge is eight hundred and eighty dollars." The middle-aged man lowered his head and didn't ask anything else.
The other customers also felt that the fee was too expensive, and no one was willing to use the room. They would rather wait a little longer than to suffer this blow.
Li Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He stood up without thinking and said, "I'll use it!"
The waitress looked at him and said, "Sir, how many are you?"
Ding Yijing was shocked. She quickly pulled Li Rui and whispered, "What are you using? Don't use it. Wait a little longer, there will be an empty seat soon!"
Li Rui patted her small hand and said to the waitress, "Two!" The waitress was slightly surprised and confirmed with him, "Sir, are you sure you want to use this private room that costs eight hundred and eighty dollars?" Li Rui nodded and said, "Bring us there." The waitress was very happy and said, "Okay, please follow me."
Li Rui pulled the unwilling Ding Yijing and followed the waitress into the restaurant. On the way, he realized that the customers were looking at him as if he was a fool, but he didn't take it to heart. He thought to himself, Hehe, time is meaningless to you guys, but tonight's time is very precious to me. I can't waste a single second.
After entering the private room and waiting for the waitress to leave, Ding Yijing glared fiercely at Li Rui and complained, "Are you really rich? But even if you are, you can't spend it like this. Do you know that you're wasting your money? I think you're just wasting it! "
Li Rui chuckled and didn't explain. He hugged her shoulders and led her to the innermost seat. He sat beside her and said, "Dear, it's not that I'm wasting money. It's just that it's rare for me to be with you, so I have to cherish every second that I spend with you. Even if I have to use money to exchange for time, as long as I can use the time I save to do more meaningful things, I'm willing. I'm not wasting money, nor am I trying to impress others. You know that I've never been that kind of person. "
Ding Yijing was slightly touched and said, "It's my fault. If only I had booked the table in advance. I could have booked it, but I was lazy …" Li Rui squeezed her small hand and smiled, "No one is to blame. Eating is a good thing, but why is it a responsibility? Hehe, besides, I'm starving. It's worth it to spend more money to fill my stomach. " Ding Yijing sighed, "Eight hundred and eighty yuan is too much. It's enough for you to order ten dishes, but how are we going to eat so much?"
Li Rui smiled and thought to himself that this old deskmate was still a little narrow-minded. If she was in either Gao Zixuan or Zhang Zixiao's shoes, she wouldn't care about the eight hundred and eighty yuan. Of course, this comparison wasn't fair. Although Ding Yijing's family was wealthy, she was still born in a commoner's family. On the other hand, the two girls were born in a privileged aristocratic family. The difference in their backgrounds determined the difference in their backgrounds. However, this didn't mean that Ding Yijing wasn't as good as the two girls. Compared to the two young misses from official families, her commoner's aura was more attractive and peaceful. He smiled and said, "Then let's focus on tasting the food. There's no need to eat until we're full."
After that, with the eight hundred and eighty yuan minimum, the two of them were much more relaxed when ordering dishes. They only needed to order the most expensive and good dishes. In a short while, they had ordered eight delicious dishes. Li Rui also ordered fresh fruit juice for the beauty beside him and a large bottle of jujube juice for himself.
During the meal, the two of them talked about Li Zhichao again.
Ding Yijing advised, "… No matter what, he's still an old classmate. Don't become enemies with him. I think that after this incident, he'll definitely remember this lesson and won't dare to do anything to you again. So, you should be merciful and let him go. If you let him go, it'll show that you're magnanimous, benevolent, and kind. Our old classmates will admire and respect you even more. "
When Li Rui heard this, he put down his chopsticks and drank a mouthful of jujube juice. He looked straight at her without saying a word.
Ding Yijing looked at him for a moment and raised her eyebrows. "You don't have to look at me like that. I don't mean anything by it. I'm not feeling sorry for Li Zhichao, nor am I pitying him. I just feel that I was the cause of this incident. If you hadn't kissed me in front of him during the last gathering, things wouldn't have turned out this way. I'm also responsible for this incident, so I feel that I have to speak up for him in front of you. I've already said what I wanted to say. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not. If you really don't want to listen, there's nothing I can do. "
After she finished speaking, she picked up a piece of fish head with pickled peppers with her chopsticks and lowered her head to eat gracefully.
Li Rui looked at her for a while and nodded. "Alright, after we return to Qingyang City.
I'll find someone to see if he can be released earlier. However, there seems to be a rule about reducing his sentence. I can only promise you that I'll try my best to get him out earlier. If I can't do it, there's nothing I can do. "
Ding Yijing listened without saying anything. She lowered her head and continued eating.
Li Rui leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Are you still not satisfied, my Jingjing? This is all I can do for you. " Ding Yijing raised her chopsticks and picked up a piece of cheese lobster meat for him. "This isn't about whether I'm satisfied or not. This has nothing to do with me. Whether you let him out or not won't affect my life. I only said so much for your sake … Hurry up and eat. Don't you want to save time to spend on more meaningful things?" Li Rui smiled. "The most meaningful thing in my life is to accompany you!"
After they finished eating, it was already past eight o 'clock. It was neither too early nor too late. It was the prime time for the nightlife.
When Li Rui swiped his card to pay the bill in the private room, Ding Yijing got up and went to the bathroom. When he finished paying, Ding Yijing still hadn't returned. He thought for a while and decided to give Qingman a call. On one hand, he wanted to ask her how she was doing. On the other hand, he wanted to tell her that he was returning to Qingyang City the next morning.
The couple chatted for a while. Lu Qingman suddenly mentioned something. "I just came back from work. Dad told me that Eldest Uncle's youngest son … Do you call him Little Brother? He came this morning and asked you to help his son … "
When Li Rui heard this, he didn't wait for her to finish. "Help his son arrange a good unit, right? Haha! "
