Chapter 204 Love-brained Bai Yi (1)
The shopping mall that Bai Yi chose was open only to high-end consumers, so even though it was peak dining time, there were not many customers in the restaurant.
The two did not choose a private room, but found a quiet window booth in the hall and sat down. The waiter handed over the order tablet and left.
Ning Yuechen ordered a few spicy home-cooked dishes, then looked at the person who was leisurely drinking tea across from him and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Just something light in flavor."
"I see that their stir-fried three fresh delicacies and loofah stuffed shrimp are both very delicate. How about we order these two for you?" Ning Yuechen asked again.
She knew that Bai Yi had a small appetite, so ordering too much would be a waste.
Bai Yi had no objection to her proposal and just said, "Okay."
Ning Yuechen looked at the menu again, confirmed that it was enough for the two of them, and pressed the confirmation option at the bottom.
Looking at the price that popped up directly, she silently put the tablet back and turned her gaze to the window.
Because she suddenly realized a problem, that is, this relationship hidden under a false appearance, even if she was the one who was forced, should the cost of the date be borne by Bai Yi alone?
Although in her heart, she was not in a relationship with Bai Yi, she was just pretending to be nice to him in order to win a free future for Aunt Shi and herself under forced circumstances.
According to this logic, I don't need to care about the financial issues in their "relationship".
After all, Bai Yi, a president worth hundreds of billions, doesn't care about the small amounts he spends during his relationship.
But the more Ning Yuechen thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Although everything was fake, if he analyzed it carefully, wasn't he just being kept by the other party?
But in essence, she didn't owe Bai Yi anything. All the disputes between the two, in addition to the grudges of the previous generation, were also the result of Bai Yi's abnormal persistence.
What if you separate these from love? Even if it is fake, you should have some backbone and never take what you shouldn't take.
Black is black, white is white, what should be distinguished must be distinguished.
As Ning Yuechen was thinking about it, an idea suddenly came to her mind and her eyes became brighter. Why hadn't she thought of this idea before?
Her current plan is mainly divided into two lines. One is to pretend to cater to Bai Yi's possessiveness, let her see her compromise, and even let her believe that she has fallen in love with her.
Another option is to sneak into the company as Mr. Bai’s girlfriend, looking for a breakthrough point, and thus completely defeat Bai Yi.
Under the premise that all the initiative is in Bai Yi's hands, shouldn't the first thing she needs to do is to end this relationship?
Because people in love are often at their lowest IQ and most defenseless.
Ning Yuechen didn’t know whether this sentence was suitable for someone as extremely rational as Bai Yi, but how could he know if he didn’t try?
Bai Yi looked at the man who was frowning and thinking, and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why do you look so troubled?"
Ning Yuechen did not answer her question, but pointed to the beverage shop facing them outside the window and asked, "I want to drink milk tea, do you want some?"
Following the direction of her finger, Bai Yi shook his head and refused: "I never drink this kind of beverage, it's unhealthy, but I can go buy it with you."
"Okay, then you go with me."
At this time, the waiter came up with the dishes, heard their conversation, and said with a smile: "What flavor of milk tea do you want to drink? We have a special person in the store who can help you buy it."
Ning Yuechen said: "No need, we can go there by ourselves."
"Ok."
Bai Yi glanced at the two dishes already on the table and said calmly, "Please pour these two dishes out and make a new one. When we come back, serve them together with the other dishes."
The waiter was obviously stunned for a moment, then replied: "Okay."
After she said that, she dumped the two dishes into the trash can in front of the two of them, and then took the trash bag away when she left.
Ning Yuechen rolled his eyes in his heart, knowing that this man was suffering from paranoia. After all, he had done so many bad things and offended so many people. If he was not careful, he would easily be retaliated by his enemies.
She was too lazy to complain about the other party's capital attribute of wasting food, and just said, "Let's go."
The two walked hand in hand to the beverage shop on this floor. Before ordering, Ning Yuechen asked the person next to him again: "Are you really not going to drink? Juice is fine."
Bai Yi glanced at the menu and replied, "Juice has a higher sugar content."
Ning Yuechen turned to the staff member whose smile had frozen and said, "Hello, could you please give me a cup of bubble milk tea, large cup with ice, normal sugar, thank you."
"Okay, 85 yuan a cup, scan or cash?"
Bai Yi picked up his phone and wanted to pay, but was stopped by the person next to him.
Ning Yuechen scanned the code and paid directly, but he felt very painful inside.
She wanted to try this cup of milk tea to see if there was any kind of nectar in it. How could it be sold at such a high price? Didn't the Price Bureau care? !
The two waited in the rest area for a few minutes and the milk tea was ready. When Ning Yuechen went to get it, he asked for two straws, but after thinking about it, he returned one.
She put the straw in but didn't drink it. Instead, she handed it to Bai Yi and said, "Do you want to try it?"
Bai Yi was slightly stunned, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes, but he still refused: "I don't like drinking this."
Ning Yuechen's eyes turned slightly, and then he said in a coquettish tone: "Just drink a sip. It's so expensive, the ingredients must be good, and it's okay to drink a sip."
As if he didn't expect her to be like this, Bai Yi's usually calm expression revealed a hint of panic and helplessness, and his fair cheeks turned slightly red.
Ning Yuechen naturally saw all of her reactions and continued to press on, while moving his body closer to her, showing an intimate attitude.
When he spoke again, he was a little dissatisfied: "Why, do you dislike me? I haven't used the straw yet, the first sip is for you."
Bai Yi took advantage of the situation and put his arm around her slender waist, saying, "How could that be?"
"Then take a sip."
This time Bai Yi no longer refused. He lowered his head and took a small sip. It tasted really good.
Then he heard the person who was almost clinging to his arms ask hopefully, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
The throbbing in her heart surged again, and she nodded in response: "It tastes good."
"So how about I buy you another drink, or can we just have this one?"
"I can't drink much either. This cup is enough."
"okay."
Ning Yuechen took a big sip from the straw she had used, and commented in his mind: This milk tea at 85 yuan a cup is not as delicious as the one sold at the entrance of their school.
This money is so unfairly spent!
The two returned to the restaurant and sat down at their table. The waiter immediately brought the food over. Ning Yuechen tasted the braised vermicelli shrimp and found it delicious.
She handed the milk tea in her hand to Bai Yi again and blinked: "Take another sip."
Bai Yi had a smile in his eyes, and when he was about to drink, the other party pulled his hand back.
She looked over in confusion, only to see him drinking the milk tea in his hand with relish while looking at her mischievously.
