After the meal, Zhou Huaiyi barely got a word in; firstly because dining in such a romantic restaurant with her crush made her a bit shy, and secondly because... the steak here was really delicious!
From the first bite, she couldn't stop, just kept her head down and ate.
During the meal, the two barely talked, so they ate a bit faster, finishing in little over an hour.
Xiang Qichen hadn't planned to stay in this crowded restaurant. Once Zhou Huaiyi was full, they left the restaurant one after another.
The snow had stopped, covering the eaves and branches with a pure white layer.
Zhou Huaiyi, full and content, leaned back in the passenger seat, patted her round belly, satisfied, and said, "Ah... one must enjoy life when at ease, what a happy Christmas Eve this is."
Xiang Qichen fastened the seat belt, a subtle smile on his lips, started the car and shifted gears.
"Going back to the hotel now?" Zhou Huaiyi asked.
