Chapter 33 - Eating

"Sure." Jiang Sheng smiled, his eyes light.

Hence, under Liang Yan's lead, the group entered the restaurant.

The renovation style of the restaurant was a court retro style. The restaurant was not big, and it was simple yet elegant. When they walked in, the waiters were all wearing palace clothes. Their clothes fluttered in the wind, making them look very unique.

They asked for a private room. Not long after they got off the plane, everyone was hungry. They ordered food before sitting down.

Liang Yan busied herself with the water bottle, ordering and urging the kitchen to hurry. However, she did not notice Pei Yu and Chen Yuan who were eating not far away.

Liang Yan said to the waiter, "The dishes have to be served quickly. Cold and hot dishes can be served at once."

The waiter nodded.

Liang Yan turned around and walked in. They were chatting happily in the room. They had specially reserved a seat for Liang Yan. It was next to Jiang Sheng. Liang Yan hesitated for a long time before sitting down.

Liang Yan's face was expressionless. Jiang Sheng seemed to sense her coldness and asked in a low voice, "Miss Liang, do you like spicy food?"

Liang Yan turned her head slightly and glanced at the man beside her. She smiled politely. "I don't eat spicy food."

She turned the spicy dish in front of him and said to him, "Eat this. You used to like it…"

Liang Yan suddenly paused and retracted her hand from the turntable stiffly.

Jiang Sheng was also stunned. There was a deeper meaning in his eyes. "Miss Liang, you know me so well? Can you tell me what I was like in the past?"

Liang Yan thought of the young man in her memory and her heart ached. She lowered her eyes calmly. "I said something wrong. It was just a slip of the tongue."

Jiang Sheng picked up the dish and asked meaningfully, "Is it really a slip of the tongue? I'm getting more and more curious about what kind of person Miss Liang is."

Liang Yan paused and raised her cold eyes. She asked, "You said that I only seduced you because you're the young master of the Jiang family."

Liang Yan said such shameful words calmly, as if she was used to hearing them.

When Jiang Sheng heard her words, he actually felt a hidden pain in his heart. He recalled in a daze, "At that time, everyone around me told me that. I also investigated."

"Then I am that type of person, President Jiang," Liang Yan said coldly. She felt very tired and did not want to speak again.

He got someone to throw her out. He called her an indecent slut.

She was punched and kicked, and her heart was in constant pain. It was difficult for her to breathe. He always knew that her heart was not good, but he still watched coldly, causing her to miss the best opportunity for treatment.

From then on, Liang Yan's heart became even weaker. Later on, it was inevitable that her heart would fail.

At that time, his cold and disgusted gaze was like a knife that stabbed into her body inch by inch. His words were also mean and heartless. "How could I like a lowly woman like you?"

He grabbed her clothes and threw her to the ground like a piece of trash. "Don't look for me again. I find you dirty."

He found her dirty.

She looked at Jiang Sheng. He had the same face as Wei Lan, but his identity and personality were completely different. Wei Lan would not embarrass her, would not say such cruel words, and would not let her face such a dangerous world.

Wei Lan would always protect her. He would hug her. Even if he was bleeding, he would protect her very well.

Liang Yan did not have much of an appetite, so she just listened to everyone's conversation and drank the tea in her cup from time to time.

Jiang Sheng kept frowning. He really couldn't believe that Liang Yan was really as he had found out, that she had seduced him just because of his identity.

He really couldn't understand why her every move always affected his heart. Why did he care so much about her?

The waiter served dessert. Jiang Sheng picked up a piece for her. "I keep feeling that you'll like it."

Liang Yan looked at the taro dessert on the plate and pursed her lips slightly. His intuition was right. This was indeed her favorite.

Not only did Wei Lan know that she liked this dessert, but he also learned to make it for her and almost burned his hand. Liang Yan hurriedly pulled him to the sink to flush. Wei Lan smiled nonchalantly and said that it was fine. His eyes were very bright, and he was as stubborn as a child. He promised her that he would definitely make it for her to eat.

Liang Yan's heart ached. She stood up and walked out of the private room. Suddenly, she felt as if her heart was being squeezed. It was so tight that she could not breathe. She fell back into a warm embrace.

Her eyes were blurry, but she saw a figure looking at her not far away. He seemed to be Pei Yu. He seemed to reach out to her, but in the end, he put down his hand and turned to leave.

Only his cold back was left behind.

"Yanyan, what's wrong?"

Jiang Sheng stopped Liang Yan and realized that he had subconsciously called her so intimately.

Liang Yan leaned against Jiang Sheng and panted weakly. "Medicine, medicine…"

Jiang Sheng found a bottle of medicine from her coat pocket and poured it out for her. He frowned and asked, "Is this it?"
