“Please . Even if you don"t know how to reply, smile! You must maintain your G.o.ddess-like image, always! What"s with that dumb face earlier?! The reporters will always choose pictures with shock value to publish along with their articles . You were so stunning back at the gala, but once you turned around, your candid pictures were taken by them . Do you still want your G.o.ddess-like image?!”
His rapid bombardment of savagery had Yun Shishi"s soul almost leaving her body .
Gu Xingze squeezed his brows and reminded, “Qin Zhou, be gentle . ”
“Fine . Clear up everything . We still have a photo shoot with the creator tonight . Remember; if someone fights you for your seat later, don"t give in to them, got it? You"re the female lead . Just stand beside Xingze . ” He gave her this advice, worried that Yan Bingqing would vie for her seat .
She nodded in understanding .
After the photo shoot with the creator, the kickoff ceremony officially ended .
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt “Shall we have dinner together?” Gu Xingze shifted toward Yun Shishi and asked .
She smacked her lips together . She somewhat felt famished, so she dipped her head in consent .
He probed again . “What do you want to eat?”
“Erm… Is there anything good to eat nearby?”
He replied, “We"ll go to wherever you want to eat . ”
She suggested with a playful giggle, “Let"s go have western food . ”
He could not refrain from letting out a chuckle as he acceded to her request .
Secret·Love, a restaurant serving western cuisines, was located within the busiest area on Huaihai Road . The restaurant, which was decorated with elegant finishes, served exquisite western food – hence its popularity . Without a reservation, it would be difficult to arrange for a seat in the establishment, and furthermore, it was currently dinner time .
Gu Xingze was aware that Yun Shishi was craving for western food at Secret·Love; thus, he requested an a.s.sistant to phone the restaurant for a reservation .
The restaurant manager subsequently reserved a booth with a nice ambiance for them . With dim lightings, stained gla.s.s windows, and beaded curtains, it looked uniquely romantic .
As such, when the waiter led them into the booth, her heart tingled with joy and excitement!
She occupied her seat, looking all satisfied; her little head spun around curiously to inspect the ornaments in the booth .
Gu Xingze, meanwhile, slid into his seat gracefully . She glanced up at him just then and shot him an extremely bright smile, saying joyously, “It"s really romantic here . This is a good place for a meal . Xingze, thank you . ”
He fell into a tiny stupor . It just dawned on him that she had thanked him for bringing her here to enjoy western food . At that, his brows could not help coming to a slight crease .
He was tired with western cuisines for he had eaten such from a young age . To be honest, the food prepared by Secret·Love did taste authentic, but his picky taste buds deemed it to be only of an average standard .
He originally intended to bring her to a French restaurant he frequented if she enjoyed western food, yet seeing how she longed to come here, he disposed of that thought .
Observing his knitted brows, she came to an a.s.sumption that she had somehow angered him . As she remembered her calling him directly by his name just then, she timidly corrected herself as her face blushed with embarra.s.sment . “… Mr . Gu!”
He raised a brow in suspicion, and she went on to explain herself . “I shouldn"t be addressing you by your first name . ”
“You may . ”
“Hm? What…”
He picked up the menus in composure and handed one of them to her . Looking deeply into her eyes, he simply said, “You may call me by my first name . ”
There was a moment of warmth in his...o...b.. before they quickly reverted to their original calmness . He glanced downward to read the menu .
She was stunned for a while . Did he just say that she could call him directly by his first name?!
