Chapter 64: 62, Girl’s Wine? Want to have a sip?
"Eh!"
Seeing her action, Luofeng thought for a moment and didn’t press further; moreover, his good feeling for her also rose a notch.
Luofeng really appreciated a young lady like her, one with principles.
She hadn’t succumbed to the temptation of something worth over eight hundred thousand yuan.
Of course, Luofeng wasn’t foolish; he could tell whether this was a case of playing the long game to catch a big fish.
What girls fear most is accepting expensive gifts from men. Once they do, the relationship is bound to become significantly more involved.
Perhaps she’d already consider him a prospective boyfriend.
Perhaps some women, even if they were in a relationship, wouldn’t accept expensive gifts from their boyfriends.
"So, may I ask Miss Lu, what exactly is going on between you and Mr. Xia?"
Although Luofeng suspected it was likely about some unspoken rules, he wasn’t clear on the specifics.
"Do you have time, Mr. Luo? If you do, may I buy you a coffee?" After a few seconds of silence, Lu Yaqing finally spoke.
"Of course, I have time. But let me treat you to coffee," Luofeng nodded and agreed. "Old rules: you pick the place, how about that?"
"Sure, let’s go to Antique Rose over there." Lu Yaqing pointed outside. "It’s quite close."
Soon, she put on her mask and sunglasses, and the two of them left Tan’s Restaurant side by side.
The waiter who had served them watched them leave. He had been gossiping that this woman came to such an upscale place but supposedly couldn’t afford the expensive dishes. But then another male waiter corrected him, saying she had arrived in a Rolls-Royce. This puzzled the first waiter. If she was so rich, why order inexpensive dishes? They discussed it and concluded that perhaps she genuinely wanted to eat something light and not heavy dishes.
"Driver, we’re going to Antique Rose; it’s nearby too."
After getting in the car, Luofeng gave the instruction.
The Rolls-Royce then drove out of the parking lot.
"Driver Wang, go get something to eat. We might be talking for a while."
Ten minutes later, Luofeng arrived at the Antique Rose Coffee Shop. After Driver Wang parked the car, Luofeng generously pulled out ten hundred yuan bills for him.
If it were an ordinary driver, Luofeng would have given him 200 yuan, and that would have been sufficient.
But for a driver of such a luxury car, who likely chauffeured guests of high-end establishments, he couldn’t be too stingy.
It wasn’t because Luofeng feared being mocked, but because he had the money, didn’t mind, and the driver seemed like a decent person.
"Oh, and Master Wang, could you please put this in the trunk for me?" Luofeng added.
This was the watch worth over eight hundred thousand yuan that Lu Yaqing had returned.
It would be rather awkward to keep holding it, wouldn’t it?
Soon, Luofeng and Lu Yaqing arrived at a private room in the coffee shop.
A place like this didn’t just offer coffee or other drinks; simple cocktails and sparkling wines were also available.
But Luofeng didn’t choose any of those.
Instead, he ordered a Citrus Dream Juice.
"I’ll just have a juice to cut through the richness from dinner," Luofeng said, pushing the menu towards her. "What would you like?"
"I’ll have the same," Lu Yaqing replied, her impression of Luofeng improving slightly.
If he had ordered alcohol right away, even a low-alcohol one, she would have politely made do for a short while before making an excuse to leave. But if it was just juice, she was willing to chat more with this young man.
"This place’s Moscato Sparkling Wine is quite good. Don’t you want to try some?" Lu Yaqing probed intentionally.
It was a sweet wine with a girlish appeal. Upon tasting, one could sense lychee, peach, and tropical fruit aromas. The fine, soft bubbles made it like sipping a sweet, fruit-flavored beverage with a hint of alcohol that even those with very poor alcohol tolerance could easily handle.
Lu Yaqing said this on purpose, waiting for Luofeng to ask if she wanted it.
But Luofeng played dumb. "No need!"
He didn’t even ask if Lu Yaqing wanted any.
Since he could perceive her underlying desires, Luofeng could perfectly sidestep such a test.
Her test was quite clever. If Luofeng didn’t ask if she wanted a drink, he would seem like a typical clueless guy, because this was a ladies’ wine. But knowing her intentions, Luofeng preferred to play the clueless guy.
"Alright then." Lu Yaqing smiled faintly, pressed the service bell, and ordered, "Two Citrus Dream Juices, please."
Once the waiter left the private room, Lu Yaqing took the initiative to speak.
"As for that Mr. Xia, Xia Wen, he’s the boss of Summer’s Love Entertainment Company. Our brokerage company is supposed to co-produce a web series with them," she explained.
"But this time, he specifically requested me to discuss this matter with him."
Hearing this, Luofeng chuckled. "And you still say I didn’t cause you any trouble?"
Lu Yaqing shook her head. "Mr. Luo, you misunderstand. When I first came, I also thought he couldn’t do anything to me. But I later found out it wasn’t that simple. Actually, I’ve wanted to pull out for a while now, but I was afraid of offending him. You did me a favor and made him leave."
"That old, ugly man. He indeed harbored ill intentions," Luofeng chuckled.
Lu Yaqing gave Luofeng a sidelong glance. "So, Mr. Luo, are all your intentions purely good then?"
As they became more familiar, Lu Yaqing could also make some light-hearted jokes.
Luofeng simply smiled without responding.
But Lu Yaqing couldn’t figure him out and felt she might have offended him. "Sorry, Mr. Luo, I was just joking."
"Just joking? I was about to say that I harbor ill intentions too," Luofeng smiled. "Would you treat me the same way you treat Mr. Xia then?"
"..."
Lu Yaqing was at a loss for words, rolling her eyes at him again.
If Luofeng were that kind of person, he would have naturally ordered the wine when she hinted at it, even if he had initially pretended to be a gentleman by not ordering alcohol. But he hadn’t. He definitely wasn’t that type of person. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"So, Miss Lu, you mentioned earlier about shooting a web series, right?" Luofeng changed the subject, wanting to inquire about the specifics.
