Bo Su was silent for a moment before agreeing readily. "Alright, you guys decide on the location. I'll bring Bo Chen over."
Mi Le was buying dinner. She immediately got into her role as a rich young lady. "Shushu,your husband Bao Xu seems to have a taste for the finer things in life. I must treat them to a meal at the most upscale five-star hotel in the city."
Yan Shu said, "You don't have to spend so much. My Bo Su lives very frugally. He has never been particular about food and entertainment. The ingredients in his fridge are very simple, and there are very few items in his wardrobe. He might not be comfortable going to a five-star hotel."
Mi Le was a little surprised. "Although I only caught a glimpse of him, I couldn't tell that he was such a thrifty person."
She reminded Yan Shu warily, "Shushu, it's not good for a man to be too frugal. Such a man is stingy to himself and even more so to others. Take Gu Yucheng for example—he's a 100% phoenix man who lives off his wife. Don't find another man like him…"
Yan Shu swallowed hard. In fact, after her relationship with Gu Yucheng, the terrible experience made her somewhat distrustful of her own judgment.
"I can't be that unlucky," she murmured.
Mi Le said, "Don't worry. I'll help you check him out. Whether he's a freeloader or an eligible bachelor, he's not going to escape from my discerning eyes."
As it was a blind date, Mi Le did an exquisite makeup look for herself and also did a nude look for Yan Shu. Yan Shu's skin was in tiptop condition and her pores were almost invisible. The natural makeup only enhanced her long and curly eyelashes, transforming her from a cool goddess to a lively and enchanting figure.
Mi Le stood behind Yan Shu and gritted her teeth in jealousy. "Really, Shushu, the heavens favor you too much. They gave you extraordinary intelligence and unparalleled beauty. You're just too perfect."
Yan Shu said self-deprecatingly, "But it didn't give me everlasting love."
Seeing the frustration in Yan Shu's eyes, Yan Shu knew that Yan Shu had not forgotten about Gu Yucheng. She reminded Yan Shu, "Shushu, forget about him. You have to be fair to Bo Su."
Yan Shu was slightly shocked. These words were like a blow to her head.
Yes, she was already Bo Su's wife. She had no right to reminisce about other men.
Mi Le and Yan Shu arrived at the city's most renowned five-star hotel. Mi Le was full of praise for the establishment. "Shushu, this hotel is owned by the Bai family, the top financial conglomerate in the capital. I heard that their prices are incredibly high, but their service makes you feel like you're royalty."
Yan Shu had only heard about the four major financial conglomerates in the capital but never bothered to understand their internal workings or the people who worked there. She had no interest in the lifestyle of the upper echelons of society.
She sent Bo Su the hotel's location so that he could find her easily.
Unexpectedly, Bo Su was stunned when he saw the location that Yan Shu had sent him.
Wasn't this the Ming Jin Hotel that his grandfather had gifted him?
Bo Su's eyes flashed with a glint of amusement. He then made a call to the hotel's lobby manager to give some instructions. After that, he got up and made his way to the hotel.
Yan Shu and Mi Le felt like country bumpkins entering a palace for the first time. They looked around and then timidly came to the reception desk. "We would like to dine in. Are there any available seats?"
The waitress couldn't help but chuckle at their request, as if she had heard something funny. "I'm sorry, but our hotel requires reservations about half a year in advance. Moreover, we do not accommodate private requests."
Mi Le was dumbfounded.
Yan Shu grabbed Mi Le and attempted to leave.
Unexpectedly, the lobby manager suddenly walked over and asked politely, "How should I address you?"
"Her name is Yan Shu. My name is Mi Le."
The lobby manager's eyes were clearly filled with respect as she humbly addressed Yan Shu, "Miss Yan, Miss Mi, if you can find a gentleman to accompany you for the meal, our restaurant can offer a complimentary trial of our couple's set menu."
Yan Shu declined politely. "We are not trying the couple set."
The lobby manager's face fell. She was on the verge of begging them, "Miss Yan, this is a mission assigned from the management. We have to find two couples to try our couple's menu today. Otherwise, our salaries will be deducted."
Mi Le held Yan Shu's hand. "Shushu, let's help her. Besides, it would be a waste not to take up the offer."
Yan Shu was dragged to a very gorgeous presidential suite by Mi Le.
The manager led them inside and meticulously guided them through the dining experience, explaining every detail of the dining culture at the Bai family's restaurant.
When the big meal was served, Yan Shu and Mi Le were stunned.
"King crab? Jumbo abalone? There's even bird's nest? Shark fins?"
After the dishes were served, the manager said to Yan Shu with a smile, "Miss Yan, if there's anything else you need, you just have to instruct our smart bot, Xiaolan."
"Okay."
The wait staff retreated in a crouched posture.
While leaving the presidential suite, she bumped into Bo Su and Bo Chen.
The waitress was about to speak when Bo Su raised her hand to stop her. He instructed her, "Bring me the best dishes in the kitchen. The portions don't have to be big, but make sure there's variety."
"Yes, CEO."
Bo Chen was so happy that he rubbed his palms together. "Wow, I'm in for a treat today."
Bo Su placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't get too excited. You better be nice to Shushu's friend. My happiness lies in your hands, bro."
Bo Chen was speechless.
"Brother, with your unparalleled charm, Shushu will be completely enchanted by you. Even if you don't do anything, you can easily win her heart. Why bother trying so hard to please the people around her?"
Bo Su shot him a sharp look.
Bo Chen sighed. "Okay, okay. I promise to charm her best friend."
With his assurance, Bo Su confidently pushed open the door to the presidential suite. Yan Shu and Mi Le were sitting side by side and chatting with their heads leaning against each other. They seemed very close.
When she saw Bo Su, Mi Le looked very shocked.
Bo Chen waved his hand in front of her and teased her, "Stop looking. My brother is taken. It's useless for you to look so hard."
Mi Le playfully threw a punch at Bo Chen. "He looks so handsome; it's a waste not to let people admire his good looks."
Mi Le and Bo Chen seemed to hit it off immediately, arguing with each other as soon as they met.
Bo Su took the opportunity to sit beside Yan Shu. When he saw Yan Shu, who was wearing makeup and looking so pretty, Bo Su couldn't help but praise her, "Shushu, the makeup today suits you very well."
Yan Shu said shyly, "I'm not very good at makeup. Mi Le helped me with it."
Bo Su said, "It seems that I have to buy a set of cosmetics for my wife."
Yan Shu smiled and said, "Are you forcing me to learn makeup?"
Bo Su said, "If you don't want to learn, then I'll do it."
Yan Shu, "…"
This was the first time Mi Le had heard Bo Su uttering sweet nothings. She was stunned by those words.
If some other men had said those words, they would have sounded very cheesy.
However, coming from Bo Su's mouth, it's like a pure stream, refreshing and uplifting to the soul.
