Huan Hei smiled and handed her the bouquet of roses, "These are for you, but as beautiful as these wild roses are, they're not even a millionth compared to you."
Ya Nuo stood up to receive the roses and smiled gorgeously, "Thank you for your compliment. I'm Yang Ya Nuo. So you're the heir of Xu Corps?"
He pulled the chair and signaled for her to sit down, so he can push the chair in for her while replying,"Yes. My father's health is not the greatest since two years ago so I've been managing my family's business for a while. So far it's been going pretty well."
Ya Nuo maintained her smile for others to see, "That's impressive. Mr.Xu is such a gentlemen and has great looks, you must have a lot of females around you."
Huan Hei chuckled, "Yep. I have a handful of females around me. There are my mother, house maids, grandmother, and 5 female pets in my house. They take up most of my time. Also, calling me Mr.Xu seems too distant. How about, Huan Hei? I'll call you by your name too."
Ya Nuo: "Sure. Did you come from work?"
Huan Hei: "Yep, I haven't eaten anything today, how about we order some food as continue our conversation?"
Ya Nuo nodded pleasantly, "I haven't eaten anything since breakfast. Should we get the menu?"
Huan Hei: "Allow me to order for the two of us." He snapped his finger and the waiter quickly walked over to take down their order. Tonight's dinner was set at this restaurant because it was one of the fancier places that Ya Nuo wanted to go to for a long time. He always heard her talk about how great their steaks and lobsters were, but never had the chance to take her here for dinner because she insists on earning enough to pay for her share of the food. Such a rare occasion, how could he let this opportunity go?
After ordering the chef's special five spiced lobster and Wagyu Ribeye medium rare steak that comes with a crab salad and spice combination sauce, he ordered their homemade iced tea. Even though wine is usually the perfect drink to match with lobster and steak, he didn't know her alcohol tolerance level so he didn't order it.
Ya Nuo smiled lovingly at the man in front of her,"You ordered everything I had in mind. Seems like we have similar taste in food."
Huan Hei: "This restaurant is famous for their lobster and steak. Somebody talked about how much she wanted to try it and she made it sound very delicious so I wanted to try some too."
Ya Nuo: "That girl must be someone very important to you for her to convince you."
Huan Hei laughed, "She's my future wife." His fingers reached her palm at an angle where the napkins covered their hands, and he wrote, "you" on it.
Ya Nuo: "Oh? A meal and you get a wife? Isn't that too easy?"She blushed and continued teasing him.
Huan Hei: "Of course not. I'm offering a life with food and happiness to the beautiful woman in front of me. I believe my to be wife is a foodie like me."
Ya Nuo: "True... but what other benefits do I get if I marry you?"
Huan Hei: "You get me."
Ya Nuo: "Deal."
The romantic music in the restaurant made it difficult for others to hear what they were saying, but judging from their expressions, everything was going well. What they didn't know was that while Ya Nuo and Huan Hei flirted openly, he had been typing on his cellphone asking her different questions and she was answering by typing back on his phone. Their conversation was all for show since they knew that others were eavesdropping on them.
From their text conversation, Huan Hei was relieved that she was alright. Ya Nuo asked him what his next plans are and he told her to play along until the engagement party. He will be doing a great expose at the party and all she needs to do is relax for now. Ya Nuo took this chance to ask him how Mei Ching was doing and if she had any abnormal behavior after escaping from the mansion. Huan Hei told her that she was very calm and listened to what everyone told her to do.
Ya Nuo found her behavior suspicious even though she didn't do anything. It is exactly because she's too obedient that makes it a problem. She didn't even ask about her daughter or husband after escaping from the mansion and is following what strangers are telling her. After thinking for a bit, Ya Nuo asked him to help her test something out and tell her about it when they see each other next time.
Huan Hei purposely said this loud and clear for others to hear, "Ya Nuo, I'm very happy and hope that we can meet up to discuss about the engagement before our family officially meet each other. What do you think?"
Ya Nuo smiled, "I'm always free so you can contact me anytime."
Huan Hei: "Can I get your personal cellphone number?"
Ya Nuo: "Uhm... about that, I'll have to ask..."
The chauffeur walked into the restaurant and to their table with her cellphone in his hand. "Miss, you left your cellphone inside the car." He handed her cellphone to her, and she smiled in response,"Thank you."
Chauffeur: "Also, Master Yang asked me to pass a message to you that you don't have to hurry home. You two should get to know each other more so you can stay out as long as you want."
Ya Nuo blinked a few times, "Uh.. okay. Then, Huan Hei, do you want to have dessert if it's not too late for you?"
Huan Hei revealed a charming smile,. "Sure, I'll join you." He waved his hand and gave the waiter his credit card. The chauffeur bowed respectfully, "Miss, are you going to ride with Mr.Xu after this?"
Huan Hei replied, "If you don't mind, I'd like to stay with your miss during the ride to the dessert spot."
The chauffeur replied, "Alright. I will follow behind your car. Please excuse me." He walked out of the restaurant while Huan Hei signed his signature for the dinner bill.
Ya Nuo whispered, "Hoho, that worked well."
Huan Hei: "I like my dates to be one on one."
Ya Nuo let out a slight chuckle, "So you do go on dates."
Huan Hei looked at her and smiled, "Only with you."
