Only then did Su Xinyi realize this place was where Duan Jian had brought her before.
She remembered the time they encountered Gu Jingshen’s vinegar king character, so they didn’t eat here that day.
Seeing her silent, Gu Jingshen joked, "Since you couldn't enjoy our food last time, I'll make up for it. You can have double portions today."
Su Xinyi smiled slightly and gently said, "It's already very kind of you to bring me here; no need for two meals."
Gu Jingshen smiled without speaking and gently led her into the restaurant.
They sat by a window where Gu Jingshen pulled out the chair and asked her to sit down.
Outside, Su Xinyi was amazed by the view. She could see the whole city of Hai Cheng and even the distant hills.
As she gazed in wonder, music caught her attention. In the center of the restaurant was a rotating stage where a band was performing.
The song playing was a light piano melody, very elegant and soothing.
Gu Jingshen looked at Su Xinyi’s surprised expression and said jokingly, "I’ll buy you double portions this time so that next time we don’t come here."
Holding her hand gently, Gu Jingshen said, “No matter how expensive it is, I will do anything for you.”
This made Su Xinyi unable to argue. A warm feeling spread through her as his touch provided enough security.
Gu Jingshen added, "Just relax and enjoy the view. Don’t worry about anything; my abilities are still good."
Su Xinyi realized that Gu Jingshen was no longer the poor boy she had first met but now a company president. She knew there was nothing to worry about anymore.
She said softly, "Okay, your way then."
As they sat, a flower attendant approached and asked Gu Jingshen, “Sir, do you want to give this lovely lady a bouquet of flowers in such a romantic moment?”
Thinking of being a flower seller, Su Xinyi was about to refuse when Gu Jingshen happily paid for the bouquet.
He then handed it to her formally, saying, "Beautiful lady, I am expressing my love. Please accept."
Surprised by this, Su Xinyi accepted the flowers and said gratefully, “Thank you.”
The attendant wished them, “May the two of you find true happiness together.”
Such an act drew many admiring glances from other guests.
Embarrassed, Su Xinyi looked out the window, but her heart felt sweet.
Gu Jingshen didn’t disturb her and waited a moment before the server brought their food.
Gu Jingshen said, "Xinyi, come try it; I ordered their specialties."
He kept putting food in her bowl while speaking.
Su Xinyi said, "You should eat too; don't just keep feeding me."
But Gu Jingshen continued to feed her.
In the end, Su Xinyi also fed him, making Gu Jingshen smile wryly.
