Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 787: The Sealed Truth (Part 7)
Thinking of the things he might have done for her, Xia Yinian found it difficult to refuse.
Although Uncle and Yu Wanqing were recognized by everyone as a couple, it seemed that Uncle had never been so passionate toward Wanqing.
But that day, Uncle suddenly walked so intimately with Yu Wanqing in public, and considering the events of the past few days, Xia Yinian felt something was amiss.
In the past several days, one problem after another had befallen Yu Wanqing, while her own life had become much more peaceful. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Xia Yinian remembered a phrase from the forums about the car accident involving Yu Wanqing a few days ago.
It’s really not easy to be the woman by the side of a powerful man.
It looked like a simple phrase, but linking it with the recent happenings, Xia Yinian had a different interpretation of it.
"Here’s your soup." Xia Yinian placed the bowl of soup in front of Gu Beicheng.
"Mhm." Gu Beicheng nodded and his large hand grasped hers that was holding the spoon.
The unique contact made Xia Yinian immediately put the spoon down and retract her hand.
When she looked up and glared at him again, Gu Beicheng had already bent down, scooped a spoonful of soup, and brought it to his mouth.
"I was in a hurry to go to the hospital this morning, didn’t have time for breakfast." The man’s voice rang out.
Xia Yinian was very clear; Uncle meant for her not to disturb him, so she begrudgingly sat down again in her own chair.
"Eat up, the Wagyu beef here is good, over five thousand for a hundred grams."
As the words left his mouth, Gu Beicheng wiped his hands and picked up the knife and fork in front of him.
Over five thousand for a hundred grams? Xia Yinian looked down at the steak that didn’t seem anything special and was momentarily stunned.
It seemed simple, but was she about to eat a meal worth over twenty thousand?
If this steak were turned into money, it could feed the orphans for four or five months.
Thinking about how the others could feast for half a month with just one bite she took, Xia Yinian really couldn’t bring herself to eat it.
"The steak will lose its value once it’s cold, and reheating it would seriously diminish its quality," the man opposite her reminded.
His woman was still worrying over money at this stage; as her man, was he not too much of a failure?
Lifting her eyes to glance at Gu Beicheng, Xia Yinian blinked and immediately picked up the knife and fork.
Honestly, this was her first time eating such expensive steak.
A meal costing over twenty thousand, she was really worried she wouldn’t be able to digest it.
But, if she was too slow and wasted the over twenty thousand worth that it should have, that would be the real tragedy.
After a short while, the two people in the private room were silently enjoying their lunch.
Top-grade Wagyu beef, Xia Yinian should indeed savor it; no matter how rushed, one must still eat, right?
But, perhaps the man enjoyed the time spent having lunch with his woman even more.
When Xia Yinian wasn’t paying attention, Gu Beicheng’s gaze unintentionally fell on her face.
This meal was indeed very good.
"Tasty?" When the girl had almost finished eating, Gu Beicheng softly asked.
"Mhm, really tasty, no wonder..." Xia Yinian lifted her eyes and met his gaze, momentarily startled, before she added, "it’s so expensive!"
One moment she was in such a rush, the next she was eating so deliciously; she truly had a craving.
Who would have thought that Uncle had prepared such delicious food that she carelessly ate too much.
But upon reflection, it should have been Chi He who prepared it.
Xia Yinian held her gaze down at the remaining steak in front of her and pursed her lips.
She was truly full, it looked like this meal wasn’t quite over twenty thousand.
With the steak at over five thousand for a hundred grams, she had just eaten at least three or four hundred grams, with a piece remaining.
To not eat this piece of meat, worth at least over ten thousand, would truly feel wasteful.
