Shen Liang feigned a stomachache, so he and Gu Xiaonuan agreed to meet at a vegetarian restaurant.
Gu Xiaonuan was a meat-eater all year round, and eating vegetarian was just a way to cleanse her system once in a while.
However...
She looked up at the simple yet tasteful vegetarian restaurant in front of her.
Subconsciously rubbing her purse, she had a feeling that she would max out her credit card today.
Shen Liang was late, but when he saw Gu Xiaonuan standing at the entrance of the restaurant in a daze, he quickly walked over.
He patted Gu Xiaonuan's shoulder. "Why didn't you go in and wait for me?"
Gu Xiaonuan retracted her astonished gaze and covered the fleeting embarrassment in her eyes with a forced smile.
"I'm the one treating today, how could I go in first?"
Shen Liang offered his arm in a gentlemanly manner. "So, can we go in now?"
Gu Xiaonuan, caught in a dilemma, bit her lip hard. "Mhm."
No pain, no gain; no investment, no return with Shen Liang.
