Fu Xiaoya felt a pang in her wallet, but seeing Fu Song so enthusiastic, she could only bear with it.
"Welcome, do you have a reservation?" The front desk receptionist, a beautiful lady, carried out her duties professionally, with a sweet voice and a pleasant attitude.
Fu Song replied, "No, our last name is Fu."
The receptionist's eyes immediately lit up, and her attitude became even better than before. She personally escorted Fu Song and Fu Xiaoya to the elevator, respectfully saying, "Mr. Fu, I wish you a pleasant dining experience."
Fu Xiaoya stood in the elevator, watching the ground become more distant, and the panoramic view of the sea and the city expanding in the distance. There was a sense of being on top of the world. It was indeed enjoyable, but it was also burning a hole in her wallet!
Just as Fu Xiaoya felt sorry for her wallet, Fu Song chose a prime spot for sightseeing and handed her a tablet. "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat."
Fu Xiaoya browsed through the menu, each dish looking appetizing and tantalizing, but the prices were quite high... In the end, she settled for the cheapest option, a vegetable salad.
Fu Song took a look at the tablet and burst into laughter, his eyes squinting. It seemed like his sister thought their family was poor and couldn't afford such luxuries.
Fu Song said, "Sister, you don't need to be so frugal. Our family has plenty of money. Spend freely; you could spend for several lifetimes and still not run out."
Fu Xiaoya thought Fu Song might be sick with delusions.
"Brother, don't worry. I'll work hard to make your wish come true. But after we finish eating, can we visit a hospital?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Why would I go to a hospital if I'm not sick?" Fu Song rolled his eyes and ordered a few signature dishes. He then said to Fu Xiaoya, "Although I may not be as glorious as before, I can still afford a Western meal. Don't worry."
"Oh, it appears our fortune indicator has been on the rise lately if you can dine at a place like this," a teasing voice sounded behind Fu Song.
The term "fortune indicator" was used because whenever Fu Song invested in something, it would inevitably fail. People started going against his investments, and they ended up earning quite a lot. Everyone jokingly called him the "fortune indicator".
Fu Xiaoya was directly facing Qin Huaichen, and she was surprised to see him approaching them with a familiar expression as if he knew Fu Song well. It made her wonder if her brother was a fan of Qin Huaichen.
Qin Huaichen pulled out a chair and sat down directly, politely asking Fu Xiaoya, "Do you mind if I join you for a meal?"
Fu Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, only realizing that he had already taken a seat before she could respond. What else could she say? Ask him to leave? Well, since he had done her a favor today, she could let him join them for a meal.
Before Fu Xiaoya could nod, Qin Huaichen said, "I actually helped you out today. Isn't it worth a meal?"
Fu Xiaoya was speechless.
This person was resorting to moral blackmail!
"Naturally, it should be my treat." As Fu Xiaoya spoke about the matter, she felt a little guilty. After all, the dress she was wearing didn't justify its price. It was solely due to Qin Huaichen's influence that she ended up spending over a million on it.
"What's going on?" Fu Song glanced at Qin Huaichen, then at Fu Xiaoya. Why did he feel like these two had a secret?
"It's nothing, someone just accidentally bumped into me,"
Fu Xiaoya gave Qin Huaichen a warning look, signaling him to keep quiet about what happened today. She didn't want her brother, Fu Song, to find out. While she acknowledged her own misdeed, she believed it was a response to someone else's provocation.
"Is that so?" Fu Song looked at Qin Huaichen. He felt like things were not as simple as they seemed.
Meanwhile, Qin Huaichen felt a sharp painin his foot! A slender high heel was stepping on his instep and rotating forcefully!
"That's my water glass!" Fu Xiaoya reminded him through gritted teeth.
"Cough...," Qin Huaichen hastily put down the water glass and stood up, saying, "I'll go to the restroom."
Fu Xiaoya didn't want Qin Huaichen to reveal what happened today, so as a precaution, she also stood up and said to Fu Song, "Brother, I'll go to the restroom too."
"This is all very strange..." Fu Song watched Qin Huaichen and Fu Xiaoya go to the restroom one after the other, feeling even more certain that something had happened between them that he was unaware of.
Once Qin Huaichen entered the restroom, his face wrinkled up. He stood on one foot, hopping in an attempt to alleviate the pain in his instep, completely opposite to his usual kingly image.
