"Ah…"
"Paying for the previous table and getting a membership card? That sounds like a bad deal, doesn't it?"
Wen Muxue said with a slightly pained expression.
"A bad deal?"
"Although I spent 10,000 yuan to top up the membership card, that money is still mine. When we consume here later, we can use the membership card, and the restaurant also gave me an extra 500 yuan. The previous table only spent 700 yuan, so overall, I only paid an extra 200 yuan, and I saved 70 minutes of waiting time. To me, that's a very cost-effective deal."
Tang Yuan took the hot towel handed by the waiter, carefully wiped his hands, and replied matter-of-factly.
After hearing Tang Yuan's explanation, Wen Muxue's eyes showed a timely look of admiration, and she said with a smile, "The poor exchange time for money, and the rich exchange money for time. I didn't understand what that meant before, but now I do."
Tang Yuan smiled and did not deny Wen Muxue's statement, because it was the truth, it just wasn't conducive to mass unity.
"Eh?"
"Wait, didn't we agree that I would treat today?"
"How did you end up topping up a membership card?"
Wen Muxue suddenly said, somewhat belatedly.
"I originally thought going to Baoyin Zhai today would be over quickly, but I didn't expect to spend more than four hours there. It's almost nine o'clock now, and we're just eating, so I'll treat you to this meal since I delayed you for so long."
Tang Yuan gestured for the waiter to bring the menu and replied.
"No, no, no!" Wen Muxue waved her hands repeatedly, "I'll still treat. You lent me your car for the shoot, so it's only right that I treat."
"Stop arguing. I've already topped up the membership card. You can treat next time." Tang Yuan said, leaving no room for argument.
Seeing Tang Yuan's firm attitude, Wen Muxue had no choice but to stop arguing with him.
"Order whatever you like."
Tang Yuan took the menu from the waiter and handed it to Wen Muxue.
"You do it."
"I eat everything except fish."
Wen Muxue did not take it and replied quickly.
"Why don't you eat fish?"
Tang Yuan didn't argue with Wen Muxue. He opened the menu and asked curiously.
"Hmm…"
"I've never liked eating fish since I was a child. No matter what kind of fish, I always find it fishy."
Wen Muxue replied truthfully.
Afraid of fishiness?
That's not a good habit.
Tang Yuan thought to himself, but he didn't say much and immediately started ordering.
"Two grilled Boston lobsters."
"One portion of raspberry dark beer roasted pork ribs."
"Two portions of fresh scallops."
"Two portions of ribeye wagyu."
"One portion of French oysters."
...
Tang Yuan ordered without looking at the prices, simply ordering whatever he liked. The waiter next to him was secretly astonished; the consumption level at Tang Yuan's table alone was almost ten times that of other two-person tables.
"Did we order too much?"
After the waiter left, Wen Muxue asked in a low voice.
"There are so many delicacies in Shanghai, and it's uncertain if we'll come to this restaurant again in the future, so of course, we have to try more of their signature dishes." Tang Yuan replied with a smile.
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, Wen Muxue didn't dwell on the topic and instead started chatting with Tang Yuanabout other things. The serving speed at THE NEST restaurant was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, various plates filled their table.
Pre-meal photos are a must for women before eating, and Wen Muxue was no exception. After taking the photos, she said with some regret, "If you hadn't driven, we should have tried their cocktails. Although I don't know if they're good, they look quite nice in the pictures."
"Hmm…"
"Your words suddenly reminded me."
Tang Yuan thought for a moment and muttered a few words.
"What?"
Wen Muxue didn't quite understand.
"Although the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta is very cool to drive, it only has two seats, which is inconvenient if we go out for drinks. So I plan to order another car in a couple of days. What do you think of Rolls-Royce's new SUV model, the Cullinan? I think it's quite handsome, and it would be great whether I drive it myself or have a driver drive it in the future."
Tang Yuan stopped his knife and fork, looking at Wen Muxue and asking earnestly.
Wen Muxue looked at Tang Yuan's serious eyes, her heart beating slightly faster, and her mouth felt dry. She had thought she would never believe in love in this life, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel her heart stir.
A wealthy young man is truly hard to refuse!
"So handsome…"
Wen Muxue murmured.
"You think it's handsome too, right?"
"In that case, let's order the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. I'll find some time in a couple of days to go to the 4S store to take a look."
Tang Yuan nodded slightly, directly adding this matter to his plans. At the same time, another idea vaguely emerged in his mind, but whether this idea was feasible, he still had to consider it carefully.
...
The two of them ate for about an hour during the meal, chatting a lot, and their relationship further warmed up.
By the time the two walked out of THE NEST restaurant, it was already past ten o'clock at night, but the Central China Bund was still brightly lit, and countless pedestrians were still strolling along both banks of the river.
The two stood at the entrance of THE NEST restaurant. Tang Yuan didn't speak first; he looked at Wen Muxue, wanting to see what she intended.
"Oh dear, I'm so full!"
Wen Muxue rubbed her stomach, then looked at Tang Yuan, "Shall we go for a walk on the Bund?"
"Sure."
Tang Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he casually agreed.
"Wait!"
Just as Tang Yuan was about to walk towards the Bund, Wen Muxue suddenly called out to him.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Wen Muxue said nothing. She lowered her head, took a tissue from her shoulder bag, then walked in front of Tang Yuan and gently wiped the corner of his lips with the tissue. During this time, however, her watery eyes gazed at Tang Yuan with affection, and she softly said, "Senior, you have something at the corner of your lips~"
At this moment, the distance between them was only a fist's length, and they could even feel each other's breath.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Suddenly, Tang Yuan raised his hand, wanting to hold Wen Muxue's hand, but the moment he raised his hand, Wen Muxue took a step back and said with a chuckle, "Senior, let's go~"
After speaking, Wen Muxue walked out first, her graceful back and gently swaying slender waist making countless men secretly swallow their saliva.
Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue's back and suddenly smiled, "So, the teasing has begun? Interesting…"
