One Child Two Treasures: The Billionaire Chief’s Good Wife Chapter 543

How does one consume this stuff?!

It was too late now for regrets as everything was already served on the table . Rejecting the order would turn her into a joke, right?

Thus, with a determined look on her face, she clenched her teeth, picked up the utensils, and proceeded to slice the steak .

The steak was half-raw, and with the heavy stainless-steel utensils, as well as her awkward table etiquette, she was totally unable to make a cut at it .

She grimaced in deep vexation and embarra.s.sment .

She glanced up at Gu Xingze who had neatly and effortlessly sliced his share into bite sizes . Seemingly sensing the pair of desperate eyes trained on him, he looked up and saw her silently cry for help at him by pouting her lips .

He chuckled to himself, thinking that the little fool should not have ordered the same menu as his . How would she be able to accustom her palate to his acquired taste?

Quietly, he pushed his plate to her in exchange for hers . She was momentarily stunned by his thoughtful action . Eyeing the bite-size chunks of meat on the plate, she, albeit with some difficulty, put a piece into her mouth using a fork and swallowed it with her eyes closed!

Oh! The half-cooked steak was so raw she was unable to swallow it .

She looked suffocated as her mouth was stuffed with the meat slice she could neither spit out nor swallow .

She really regretted ordering this dish . If she had known earlier, she would have ordered something different!

Ye Minglan's order was served soon after, and hers consisted of tasty tapas that looked so tantalizing to Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+'s eyes . The former was unaware of what she was thinking, though, and just happily ate while she chatted with Gu Xingze .

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ wanted very much to order something else, but it would be rude to interrupt . Hence, she could only bow her head and continue swallowing her food without chewing it .

The man was not keen to chit-chat in the first place, and when he turned to regard her, he saw that her face was looking miserable and forlorn . He could not help laughing at that . Casually putting down his utensils, he asked, “Do you want to order something else?”

Her eyes brightened at his suggestion, and she nodded vigorously, as if she had just received a pardon . She could not bear eating this kind of food any longer .

He subsequently ordered a plate of pasta and some desserts for her . Having a small appet.i.te to begin with, her little tummy quickly bloated from the food she swallowed .

Halfway through their meal, Ye Minglan suddenly thought of something . Turning to face the man, she requested, “Xingze, today is my birthday . I wonder… if I can have the honor of having you at my birthday party?”

Before he could reply, she quickly added something else . “I am going to hold my birthday celebration in a bar; many friends are attending as well! Xingze, surely you won't reject me, right?”

True to her status as a frequent socialite, worried that he might reject her request, so she skillfully put it across in a way that he would be unable to refuse .

He thought for a while before nodding in acquiescence .

The woman was naturally elated with his response .

He turned to Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and said, “Let's go . ”

“Mm . ”

He stood up elegantly and left together with her . Ye Minglan and Huang Na were ready to go as well and asked for the bill, only to be told that the man had placed all their meals on his tab .

Huang Na, who was very besotted with the man, expressed her curiosity over the woman who was with him . Her friend's face sank with her question and curtly retorted, “Who else can she be? She's just a mere friend of the superstar! Do you really expect that woman to be his girlfriend?”
