19: Chapter 19 Alone Together (2) 19: Chapter 19 Alone Together (2) As soon as Gu Yelin and his party walked in, the manager of the restaurant came forward to greet them personally.

He greeted them with respect and cast a discreet glance at An Yiqing, then quickly collected himself.

He had met the Gu Family’s daughter before, but the girl by Third Young Master Gu’s side took him by surprise.

Everyone knew that Third Young Master Gu was not interested in women.

Many women had tried to get close to him because of their looks, only to be thrown out by him.

Apart from the women of the Gu Family, he had never seen Third Young Master Gu bring any other woman to dine; this time was truly an eye-opener.

However, the manager also knew what should be said and what should not.

It’s enough for him to know it in his mind.

The manager led Gu Yelin and An Yiqing to a private room and then excused himself.

The room had a dedicated ordering system, so there was no need for any outsiders to come in and disturb them.

The private room specially reserved for Gu Yelin was not too big, with a main and a secondary hall and an elongated square table that could seat eight people.

The table wasn’t very large; given Gu Yelin’s status, he didn’t need to entertain people specially.

This private room was just for gatherings with a few friends.

An Yiqing and Gu Tingting sat together, and Gu Yelin sat opposite An Yiqing, a position that made it convenient for him to watch the little woman.

“What would you like to eat?” Gu Yelin watched An Yiqing and asked in a low voice.

An Yiqing thought for a moment, picked up the tablet in front of her to take a look—uh, what should she eat?

She was a bit indecisive.

Gu Yelin watched with amusement as An Yiqing struggled with her choices.

Every expression of this little woman was so adorable; he really wanted to tuck her into his pocket and keep her hidden.

On the other hand, Gu Tingting had no such hesitation and swiftly clicked on a bunch of dishes on the screen.

Penglai Residence was famous for its delicious and exquisite cuisine.

The portion sizes were small, and the dishes had the delicacy of Southern cuisine, so even if they ordered more, they wouldn’t overeat.

By then, An Yiqing had made up her mind and selected a few dishes on the screen.

Gu Yelin watched from across the table, silently taking note in his heart.

At that moment, Gu Tingting’s gaze shifted, and she signaled Gu Yelin with a look.

Hehe, the moment had arrived!

Sure enough, Gu Yelin’s phone rang shortly afterward.

He looked at An Yiqing with an apologetic glance and took his phone out of the room.

“Answer the call; Grandpa is looking for you.” In less than a minute, Gu Yelin called Gu Tingting out, then returned to his seat.

The service at Penglai Residence was fast, and in a short while, a waitress clad in a cheongsam brought the dishes to the table one after another.

An Yiqing’s delicate little nose twitched, and her normally calm and gentle eyes gradually brightened—hm, the food smelled delicious.

Gu Yelin kept an eye on An Yiqing’s actions, and when he saw her wrinkle her nose like a little rabbit, his smile became more pronounced.

It seemed he had chosen the right place; he knew the standard of Penglai Residence would impress her.

But…

if he himself learned this skill, would the little rabbit be even easier to catch?

After the waitress served all the dishes, she withdrew from the room.

The identity of the master of this private room was too prestigious, and they didn’t dare to transgress.

Right after the dishes were served, Gu Tingting came back in with her lips pouted and looking visibly upset.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Gu Tingting’s obvious displeasure, An Yiqing asked with concern.

“I’m so mad!

Hmph!

Grandpa wants me to go back for a blind date now!

He’s already arranged everything!

I hate it so much!” Gu Tingting’s performance was full of fury; she was quite the professional.

“What should we do?

Shall we leave?” An Yiqing didn’t want Gu Tingting to be uncomfortable, especially since she was just accompanying Tingting.

However, Gu Tingting waved her hand dismissively, “No need to trouble yourself!

You and Third Brother keep eating, I’ll go first.

We can’t waste a whole table of dishes.

Third Brother, you make sure to take good care of Qingqing, and then you must personally take her home.

I’m going to leave first, continue eating.” She then made a swift exit, knowing that the more she said, the larger the chance for slip-ups.

Qingqing was very smart, so to avoid arousing suspicion, it was better to leave quickly.

An Yiqing watched Gu Tingting’s retreating figure, blinked her eyes, and wondered why she felt that Tingting was acting so unusual today…

“Don’t worry about her.

Grandpa arranged blind dates for her a long time ago, and she’s been putting them off.

She probably can’t dodge it this time.”, Third Young Master Gu was quite the actor himself and, of course, didn’t want to waste this precious alone time on others.

He needed to ensure that this little woman’s attention was on him, “The dishes here at Penglai Residence are excellent.

Try some.”
Normally indifferent, Third Young Master Gu was exceptionally attentive today, pouring tea and offering every convenience with great care.

If he weren’t afraid of moving too fast and scaring An Yiqing, he would have been happy to feed her the dishes himself.

It must be said that An Yiqing was really rather slow on the uptake.

With such a handsome and considerate man before her, any other woman would have been delighted beyond measure.

Yet she barely reacted, although her impression of Gu Yelin was certainly improving.

Hm, it turned out he was different from that flirtatious man from yesterday; he was quite nice.
