Chapter 416: 122: A long-term cinnabar mole, the drama is really good to watch!_2
Shangguan Dehui wasn’t an unreasonable man, understanding that accidents happen, he wouldn’t be unyielding, “What sort of accident is it? Is everyone okay?”
Lin Fang replied, “Everyone is fine, it’s just delayed some time, I truly apologize.”
“As long as everyone is fine.” Shangguan Dehui handed the menu to Lin Fang, “What do you fancy eating?”
Accepting the menu, Lin Fang browsed it and said, “I would like a Fillet Mignon done medium rare, and a fruit salad.”
“I will have the same as you,” said Shangguan Dehui, who was not particular about Western food, as he preferred Chinese cuisine.
Lin Fang, who had done ample homework before coming and even researched on Shangguan Dehui’s hobbies, thus brought up something of his interest, “I don’t really have any specific hobbies during my free time. Besides taking care of my plants and feeding the birds, my major interest is rock climbing.”
A sparkle appeared in Shangguan Dehui’s eyes as he laughed, “I also enjoy rock climbing. Do you prefer indoor or outdoor climbing?” The most crucial thing for two people to live together is to share common interests, compatible values and ideally, same hobbies.”
Seeing Shangguan Dehui’s reaction, Lin Fang knew her words didn’t miss the mark, “Both are fine for me. But outdoor climbing is more dangerous, I rarely go alone.”
Shangguan Dehui nodded, “That’s thoughtful of you. Outdoor climbing is indeed riskier. We could go together sometime.”
“Sure,” Lin Fang readily agreed, “As long as you wouldn’t mind me being a little clumsy.”
“How could that be possible.”
Because of Lin Fang’s clear attempt to concede and please, their conversation was rather smooth and pleasant.
Having paid the bill, Shangguan Dehui asked, “Do you mind if we pack this?”
Shangguan Dehui was taken aback.
Lin Fang explained, “We live in a place where there are many stray cats that no one wants. Seeing so much of the steak left untouched, it seems a terrible waste to just dispose of it…”
She was truly a kind person!
Commending her inwardly, Shangguan Dehui immediately summoned the waiter to pack the leftovers.
“Is this enough steak? If not, I can order another serving to be packed.”
Lin Fang said, “This is enough. If it’s not, I can cook some rice back home, no need to order more. It’s a bit of a waste to throw leftovers, food does not come easy, and we should all hold a profound respect for it.”
Hearing her words, Shangguan Dehui gave a more approving nod.
It seemed that Lin Fang was way more virtuous and good-natured beyond his imagination. Her like was hard to come by, and to meet her was indeed his fortune.
People of this era were generally more innocent. Marriages were rarely practiced after a relationship of a year or two, most people got married after a few months of knowing each other.
Shangguan Dehui believed that Lin Fang was his ideal partner.
At his age, Shangguan Dehui had long given up faith in love. He simply wished to find a woman who could live with him, as long as he had a companion for the future days.
The waiter handed the packed steaks to Shangguan Dehui.
Accepting them, Shangguan Dehui thanked him.
The two of them stepped out of the restaurant together.
Shangguan Dehui then said, “Miss Lin, where do you live? I could drop you home.”
Lin Fang said, somewhat embarrassed, “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”
“Just a simple press on the accelerator, it won’t be a bother.”
Lin Fang nodded in agreement.
Shangguan Dehui’s car was an imported model, fitted with genuine leather seats. As Lin Fang sat in the passenger seat, she suppressed her inner exhilaration while discreetly observing all aspects of the car.
Upon her previous research, a car like this would cost over three hundred thousand yuan!
With her current monthly salary of 33 yuan, it would probably take her entire life to save up to that amount.
Rich people were indeed rich.
A simple tool for transportation was a luxury beyond reach for ordinary households.
Knowing that she was soon to marry Shangguan Dehui and enjoy all of this, Lin Fang again tried to control her excitement.
Noticing that Lin Fang’s face was growing a little red, Shangguan Dehui asked with concern, “Is the air in the car a bit stuffy? Shall I open the car window?”
Lin Fang nodded, “It’s kind of stuffy.”
Shangguan Dehui rolled down the car windows.
The car drove along the highway and soon arrived at Lin Fang’s home.
As Lin Fang got out of the car, she said with restraint, “My house is quite messy, I better not ask you to come in.”
From this, Shangguan Dehui perceived her as a reserved and conservative person who cared much about her image. He gently nodded, “Then I’ll be on my way.”
