What a rip-off!

  Fang Yu glanced at Su Qiao with a slanted gaze, wanting to get Su Qiao's help to extricate himself, but as soon as he saw Su Qiao's eerie expression, he knew it was impossible. He had no choice but to continue to force himself, and calmly met Chen Ran's gaze. "Chairman, I've already booked a table for you at Xi Yuan Western Restaurant. Shall we go now?"

  Chen Ran glanced at Su Qiao with a hint of sharpness in his eyes, then turned to Yu and pointed to a stack of files: "Alright, you handle the aftermath."

  Fang Yu let out a silent scream in his heart, knowing that every time he messed up the president's good deeds, he would be dragged to do hard labor. How could he be so stupid! Not even knowing how to find a good timing, "Yes, President." Then he walked to the office desk with a bitter expression and started processing files.

  Su Qiao rubbed his nose, feeling a chill on his back. He wondered if Fang Yu was talking about him behind his back. He turned his head quietly to take a look, but found that Fang Yu wasn't even looking at him. What's going on? Stiffly turning his head around, Su Qiao discovered that Chen Ran had been staring at him all along. It was indeed like this! The power of Fang Yu's resentment couldn't compare to the intimidation of Chen Ran's gaze. "Uh, I'm a bit hungry."

  "Well, let's go eat then." Chen Ran walked up to Su Qiao and took her hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.

  Su Qiao awkwardly touched the back of his head, although his hand was being held by Chen Ran, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. What's wrong with him! "What are we having for lunch today?" Su Qiao asked, still looking at Chen Ran with some expectation.

  Chen Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, his Su Qiao was so cute, "What do you want to eat?"

  "Want to eat..." Su Qiao made an innocent face looking at the ceiling, and somehow couldn't remember what she wanted to eat. Her favorite cod had already been eaten, so what should she have today?

  Fang Yu, who was busy with his work, raised his head with a hint of resentment. He had already booked the table, and they were only discussing what to eat now. Would it be too late? But he didn't want to disturb them again. Heaven knows what other ways Chen Ran would come up with to torment him.

  Chen Ran gave Fang Yu a sideways glance, scaring him into quickly lowering his head. "Let's go over there later and think about what we want to eat."

  Su Qiao nodded, they should know what's going on over there. However, he seemed to have forgotten to mention Liu Bo's matter, well, let's finish dinner first and talk about it later, now is the time for everyone to rest during dinner.

  Poor Liu Bo was forgotten like this and still sat there waiting for an interview.

  Xiyuan Western Restaurant.

  Su Qiao looked at the menu in his hand, speechless. Why was this Western restaurant different from all the others he had been to before? The dish names were obviously Chinese-style! What's with "Spicy Beef" - did Western restaurants really have dishes with names like that?

  Chen Ran couldn't help but smile as he looked at Su Qiao's non-stop talking, and stretched out his large hand to gently rub Su Qiao's head, "What do you want to eat?"

  Su Qiao originally wanted to brush off the big hand on his head, but when he looked up, he found Chen Ran looking at him with a doting expression, and couldn't help but blush, "These dish names are really strange, is this really a Western restaurant?"

  Chen Ran smiled lightly and said, "I discovered that the first time I came here too. At that time, I didn't have enough time, so I had to eat a meal here. That's how I knew that their Western food is very authentic, except for the name." "Of course, this is a Western restaurant, and it's very authentic."

  Seeing Su Qiao's disbelieving look, Chen Ran took the menu from Su Qiao's hand and explained: "I'll order for you, is there anything in particular that you don't like to eat?"

  Su Qiao shook his head. He's a foodie, how could there be anything he doesn't like to eat? Uh, of course, if it's not delicious then he won't like eating it. "Nope, I like everything."

  Chen Yan lowered his head to look at the menu, covering up the smile at the corner of his mouth. A foodie? Hehe, that's even better, he was very confident in his culinary skills. Once Su Qiao couldn't leave him alone, then nothing could stop them from being together.

  "Waiter, order." Chen Ran beckoned the waiter over.

  Su Qiao listened stupidly to Chen Ran's smooth recitation of a string of dish names, her head spinning. Can the two of them really eat that much? Won't it be wasted? Just as she was about to remind Chen Ran, Su Qiao discovered that Chen Ran had given her a sly wink, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

  It seemed like they were going to be those people who ordered a huge meal, and after the waiter left, Su Qiao hastily asked: "The two of us can't finish that much food, right?"

  Chen Ran propped up his chin, staring straight at Su Qiao, "Wait till the steak comes, and you'll know if you can finish it or not." A hint of slyness flashed in Chen Ran's eyes. The boss of this Western restaurant was notoriously stingy, giving only a tiny bit per serving. If you wanted to eat your fill, you had to order more.

  Su Qiao nodded, not saying a word, and imitated Chen Ran's manner, propping up her chin with her hand, but turned her face towards the window. Chen Ran must have eaten here many times before, she believed that Chen Ran was not wrong.

  Looking at Su Qiao's reddened ear roots, Chen Ran stretched out his hand to tease him a bit, and just as Su Qiao was about to get angry, he quickly withdrew his hand. How lovely, it's all his, hehe.

  Su Qiao pouted, somewhat resentfully turning his head to look at Chen Ran. He actually dared to play with his ears in front of so many people, was he mistaken?! But he couldn't get angry, looking around, fortunately everyone else was quietly eating, otherwise he...

  Otherwise, he couldn't take Chen Ran either. He shook his head with some helplessness. Su Qiao somewhat despised himself, now that he was living off others, must he still offend the boss? Moreover, that feeling just now wasn't bad either.

  Looking at Su Qiao's increasingly red face, Chen Ran curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, with a pampered expression on his handsome face. Su Qiao looked at him with those watery eyes, what to do, really wanted to kiss him.

  Just as both of them were indulging in their own fantasies, the waiter arrived with the steak.

  Su Qiao's eyes widened as he stared at the plate of meat in front of him, and he looked at Chen Ran with a pair of questioning eyes, pointing to the plate in front of him. "This... can really fill me up?"

  "Well, I ordered a lot, enough for you to eat." Chen Ran lowered his head to arrange the tableware, his shoulders shaking constantly. Su Qiao's astonished expression was truly not concealed at all.

  Su Qiao's eyes darted around, and only then did he remember that Chen Ran had indeed ordered a lot. He thought they wouldn't be able to finish it all. Alas, it seemed he was overthinking things - now he was worried that even that little bit wouldn't be enough to fill his stomach.

  When Chen Ran raised his head again, he saw Su Qiao staring at the steak on his plate with green eyes, and constantly poking the steak on his own plate with a fork. "What's wrong? Do you like eating mine?"

  Su Qiao Meng nodded vigorously, only to realize what he had just done, and quickly lowered his head to eat the steak in his plate. Then, with a strange twitch of the corner of his mouth, what exactly had he just done?

  Just then a pair of white and tender hands reached out, Su Qiao hadn't even reacted yet, the steak in front of him had already been swapped with Chen Ran's.
