Chapter 126 – Queen of the Entertainment Circle vs. Lucky Newcomer (11) When Gu Shengyin arrived at the restaurant, she saw Ludwig’s head lowered, looking down at his phone.
She had good eyes and saw right away that it was her on the screen. Looking at the background, she should have been secretly photographed in the coffee shop before.
Ludwig saw that she had come. He did not exercise restraint and saved the photos to his alb.u.m right in front of her.
Gu Shengyin: …
Ludwig smiled and said: “Very beautiful.”
Gu Shengyin: “…Thank you.”
Ludwig handed the menu to her: “Take a look and see what you want to eat.”
He looked at her, and then looked at their surroundings. He smiled considerately: “I listened to Miss Song’s recommendation. She said that this place is very safe, and you do not need to worry about being photographed by dogs.”
(T/N: gǒu zǐ [狗仔] – another name for paparazzi, keen nose for sniffing out scandals and whatnot ;))
Gu Shengyin enjoyed a good meal. The waiter, who had been waiting at the side, quickly took the things away.
Ludwig got up and poured wine for Gu Shengyin.
His slender, white fingers held the goblet filled with red wine that s.h.i.+ned was exceptionally nice-looking.
Gu Shengyin snapped out of her daze. This man, every movement was truly full of unspeakable charm.
“I offer beautiful wine to the beauty.” Ludwig raised the gla.s.s of wine in his hand.
Gu Shengyin took a sip and praised: “Your Z language is very good.”
Ludwig smiled: “My maternal grandmother is a Z countryman. I am quite fond of Z Country.”
The food was quickly delivered. Gu Shengyin leisurely ate, bearing considerable grace.
From beginning to end, Ludwig supported his chin with his hand and watched her.
His gaze was too strong, and Gu Shengyin could not ignore it. She helplessly put down the tableware in her hand.
“Mr. Gardner…”
Ludwig interrupted her: “Call me Ludwig.”
Gu Shengyin: “Okay, Ludwig, is there something wrong with my makeup today?”
Ludwig said with a smile: “No, you are very beautiful today.”
Gu Shengyin: “Then, you staring at me…?”
Ludwig smiled brilliantly: “It’s because Keyi is very good-looking. Z Country has an old saying that is called ‘a beautiful countenance that can be eaten’. I intended to try to see if it was true or not.”
(T/N: xìu sè kě cān [] – Chinese idiom equivalent to English idiom: a feast for the eyes
literal translation: beautiful countenance that can be eaten)
Gu Shengyin: Okay, she was already certain that Ludwig was making fun of her.
However, she couldn’t do anything about it because getting angry for this did not seem to have much grace.
Gu Shengyin thought, and then said to Ludwig: “Ludwig, if you go on like this, perhaps you will not feel hungry, but the lady in front of you will be too embarra.s.sed to eat.”
Ludwig blinked, his azure eyes were sincere: “Why?”
Gu Shengyin was grinding her teeth in her heart, but on the surface, she still had a perfect smile: “Because being stared at by a handsome man like you, no women would be able to concentrate.”
How did she never know that Ludwig was this shameless?
“Oh, I know.” Ludwig seemed as if he understood something. “Keyi, you like my face.” He said with certainty.
Gu Shengyin had never seen a shameless person with such a thick face. She smiled while gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth: “The love of beauty is in every person’s heart.”
Ludwig revealed an expression of sudden realization. He suddenly smiled extremely brightly and said to Gu Shengyin: “In that case, Keyi, how about being dating me, okay?”
Gu Shengyin: …Wait! What was this development?
Ludwig continued: “Look, you like my appearance, indicating that you have a good impression of me, and it just so happens that I like you very much. Therefore, we should be in a relations.h.i.+p.”
Gu Shengyin calmly interrupted him: “If I recall correctly, we have only seen each other once. This is the second time we met.”
“No, no, no.” Ludwig refuted her in an extremely serious way. “As a matter of fact, this is the third time. The first time we met was at the airport. You were with Miss Song.”
He looked at Gu Shengyin and said adoringly:
“Miss Ruan Keyi, I fell in love with you at first sight.”
