Chapter 568: Taking Advantage
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Owing a favor was the most troublesome thing? When An Nuo heard Murong Chen say that it would be another day, she directly rejected this idea in her heart. Therefore, she had no choice but to follow Murong Chen’s words and start thinking about the place to eat.
Fortunately, Murong Chen gave the rights to decide on the venue. He also wanted to use this move to make her feel more relaxed and not be too nervous.
“just go to this place.” An Nuo quickly reported an address.
The restaurant she chose was not far from her and Murong Qiao’s house. This way, it would be easier for her to go home after dinner.
Murong Chen was not picky. Seeing that An Nuo had given him the exact address, he changed the route and drove towards that restaurant.
When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, they happened to arrive at the restaurant at night. There were many people at the front desk. It was obvious that business was booming and they were very popular.
Usually, Murong Chen would have booked a table long ago and gone straight to
his seat.
However, today was a last-minute decision. Moreover, it was the restaurant An Nuo had chosen. Other than queuing up, there was no other choice.
“Young Miss An?” The lady boss standing at the side suddenly recognized An
Nuo, and her eyes immediately lit up.
An Nuo was stunned for a moment before nodding. “It’s me.”
“Young Miss An, there’s no need to line up. Coincidentally, the most beautiful private room is still empty. Bring the two guests over.” The lady boss looked at An Nuo warmly and then casually called an attendant beside her to lead the way.
“Do you come often?” Murong Chen asked casually.
An Nuo nodded hesitantly. “Sort of. I came to eat with Qiaoqiao occasionally
before, but I got to know the lady boss.”
She hid a portion of the truth and didn’t say it.
in fact, this lady boss was a huge fan of hers. Ever since she recognized An Nuo when she came to eat one time, she was very enthusiastic every time she saw An Nuo coming over, but she didn’t cause any trouble.
Coupled with the fact that An Nuo and Murong Qiao liked the food here very much, they would visit every few days.
The attendant brought the two of them to the door of the private room and politely pushed it open before not entering.
Although it was called a private room, it was actually a semi-open-air design.
The dining table was placed beside the balcony. One only needed to look out slightly to see the graceful night scenery, causing one’s appet.i.te to increase greatly.
Therefore, many people came here to eat. Most of them were greedy for the quiet and beautiful scenery in this corner. Eating was secondary.
However, what was embarra.s.sing was that because of the recent Valentine’s Day event, most of the tables were still filled with red roses. They were beautiful and added to the atmosphere.
However, when it came to An Nuo and Murong Chen, the effect was not good
or bad.
“The two of you can take a look at the menu. In addition, our new Valentine’s Day package is also very good. It’s very popular.” The waiter smiled and gave his recommendation.
This time, An Nuo mustered her courage. “We… are not a couple.”
Even though the recent Valentine’s Day festival was filled with a pink atmosphere, An Nuo had no choice but to clarify that it was a misunderstanding.
Otherwise, she felt that she was taking advantage of Murong Chen.
“I see… I’m sorry.” The waiter was very embarra.s.sed.
However, looking at the harmonious and vaguely intimate atmosphere between An Nuo and Murong Chen, the waiter felt that they were not just friends.
Forget it, it is better to be blind.
Murong Chen’s reaction was calm. He finished ordering first.
“As for the other things, just serve it as per normal. Also, please add another cup of iced coffee.” He gestured to the waiter.
As for An Nuo, she ordered the same things every time she came. The waiter was familiar with her and remembered it especially clearly.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, An Nuo wanted to find something to talk about, but her manager’s call interrupted her thoughts first.
“I’m sorry, I’m going to take a call.” An Nuo stood up and left apologetically.
It was something related to work. The manager was afraid that something would happen to An Nuo, so he called to inform her in advance.
Murong Chen naturally wouldn’t interrupt the call rudely. He just watched as
An Nuo stood up and went to the balcony to answer the call. Her back was facing him, and he subconsciously recalled the misunderstanding the child had said today.
Couple?
Murong Chen thought for a moment and his gaze involuntarily landed on An Nuo’s back.
When sitting down to eat, they naturally had to take off their coats, and An Nuo was wearing a slightly shiny off-shoulder dress. Any casual action could stir the fine and dazzling light on the dress.
in the dark night, her exposed fair back seemed to have become an especially dazzling scenery. The beautiful and exquisite curves of her shoulder blades made Murong Chen reluctant to look away for a moment.
The scene in front of him reminded Murong Chen of the magazine cover he had seen some time ago.
Previously, when he met the other party at the branch company and even helped her out, the secretary thought that Murong Chen was concerned about her. Hence, when the cover of the magazine that An Nuo had taken was released, the secretary immediately sent it to him.
It was not that he had never seen a beautiful girl before.
However, when he recalled An Nuo’s slightly closed eyes on the cover, she leaned sideways and rested her head on the flower branches. Her dress that was slowly blooming like a flower spread out wantonly, and it was filled with soft and fragrant colors. It was so quiet and pa.s.sionate that it seemed to be the beauty that surrounded him…
Even Murong Chen was distracted for a moment.
It was as if there was an additional vine in his heart that gradually tightened around him, causing his heart to race uncontrollably.
The night gradually darkened, so much so that the starlight faded a little, leaving only the next round of white and soft moons hanging in the air alone to show their existence.
It was even colder in autumn, so Murong Qiao closed the window as soon as she returned home and pulled the curtains to block the darkness outside.
However, when she returned home and didn’t see An Nuo, she couldn’t help but be surprised for a moment.
At this moment, she was on the phone with Huo Yichen. She held the phone to her ear with her right hand and carried some doc.u.ments she had brought back from the company with her left hand and casually placed them on the coffee table.
“How about going out to play in a few days? I’m going to the show tomorrow to rehea.r.s.e.” Murong Qiao thought about her schedule.
On the other end of the line, Huo Yichen was at the office. “It’s up to you, naturally.”
“It’s a pity that you’re very busy now. Otherwise, I would have brought you overseas to travel.”
Huo Yichen was a little regretful about this, but when he thought about how he could appear beside Murong Qiao anytime and anywhere without any restrictions, he couldn’t remain unhappy anymore.
-There will be a chance in the future,” Murong Qiao agreed with a smile. Traveling allowed her to see countless rare things. She also looked forward to it, but the piled up company’s matters had yet to relent, preventing her from being a hands-off boss.
As Murong Qiao spoke, she turned around and sat on the sofa in the living room. She reached out and flipped through the doc.u.ments she had brought back.
As soon as Huo Yichen heard the sound of paper flipping, he knew that Murong Qiao was going to be busy again.
■’I’ll hang up first. I’ll pick you up after your rehearsal tomorrow?” Huo Yichen said helplessly.
Murong Qiao was thinking about her work, so she agreed vaguely.
Huo Yichen knew that she was working seriously, so he hung up with a smile and didn’t disturb Murong Qiao..
