Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 850: Deeply Rooted Love (295)
***
Jun Xiangyi and Xu Mohan spent the entire day fishing by the lakeside.
Compared to Xu Mohan’s catch, Jun Xiangyi caught two-thirds less.
But she felt a great sense of accomplishment because she didn’t fish as often as Xu Mohan.
Having such results was already very good.
Just as they finished packing up and were ready to leave, it started pouring down rain.
Since they hadn’t had dinner, the two decided to head to a nearby restaurant for a meal.
The bucket was placed in the trunk of her car.
Xu Mohan had flown there invisibly and accepted her invitation to ride back in her car.
Now, they resembled friends.
Their relationship had eased a lot compared to before.
"Sir, Miss, here is the menu."
Xu Mohan didn’t take it, "You order."
Jun Xiangyi took the menu without hesitation, "Do you eat seafood?"
"Whatever, you decide."
"So gentlemanly?" She immediately ordered a few dishes and two bowls of rice. When handing the menu to the waiter, she requested, "Don’t forget a dish of chili sauce for me."
"Alright."
"Do you want to order a bottle of wine?"
Xu Mohan ordered a small bottle, and since she was driving, he would drink it himself.
Jun Xiangyi looked at the pelting rain outside the glass, "It’s raining so hard."
She rested her chin in her hands, watching the rain pour down outside.
Xu Mohan sat across from her, "How did those scandals about you spread so widely?"
Jun Xiangyi didn’t expect him to ask, "There were a lot of reasons. I used to have more male friends, and I wasn’t reserved with them. Also, I anonymously created a ’Scumbag Repair Station’ online for a while. I helped fellow ladies who couldn’t resist their scumbag husbands resolve their issues. The internet isn’t exclusive to the mortal world. With information being so widespread, those I dealt with knew it was me, so is it strange they spread rumors to ruin my reputation? Later, at my father’s request, the ’Scumbag Repair Station’ stopped operating." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"You created the ’Scumbag Repair Station’?" Xu Mohan was genuinely surprised. He’d heard of it, and rumors said the men verified to have been dealt with were quite miserable.
"Yes, it was many years ago. I didn’t expect you to remember."
"The public has demonized you." Xu Mohan opened the wine brought by the waiter and slowly poured it into his glass, "When people hear about you, they don’t even have the slightest inclination to get close."
"Maybe this is why I haven’t met the right person yet. My reputation is what it is, and I don’t care anymore. Let it be. I believe there will be someone who sees the good in me. Since he hasn’t appeared in front of me yet, I’ll just wait—it could be that he’s already on his way."
Perhaps because it was dark and rainy outside, the restaurant had few guests.
The soft, warm light illuminated the two dining together.
Quiet and harmonious.
Jun Xiangyi ate heartily, not caring in the slightest that there was a man sitting across from her.
After all, he couldn’t possibly be her man.
She couldn’t be bothered to pretend to be a lady in front of him.
She ate quickly; for every bite Xu Mohan took, she ate three.
Therefore, she finished eating first. Xu Mohan ate slowly, especially since he was drinking, making it even slower.
After finishing her meal, Jun Xiangyi leaned back in her chair, rubbing her satisfied belly, "So full."
Xu Mohan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "Shall we head back?"
"Sure."
She intended to pay, but of course, he wouldn’t let her. How could a man let a woman pay?
