Xiao Miaomiao held Li Jingcheng's hand tightly with a worried look on her face, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "I really had no idea that Luo Ran would be here. I only found out about this after I got on the plane."
After that, she hastily added: "During these three days, I have never been alone with him. I swear to God!"
At this moment, Xiao Miaomiao looked extremely nervous, and her beautiful eyes looked straight at Li Jingcheng, as if she was afraid that he would not believe what she said.
In fact, although Xiao Miaomiao had promised Second Senior Brother that she would not help persuade Luo Ran to return home, she did not want Li Jingcheng to stop Second Senior Brother's actions.
After hearing Xiao Miaomiao's explanation, Li Jingcheng nodded slightly to show that he believed it.
But then, he leaned close to Xiao Miaomiao's ear, lowered his voice and said coldly: "We will settle this account later."
Although there was no obvious anger in his words, the threat contained in them was self-evident.
Luo Ran, who was standing by, took in the whole scene. Looking at Li Jingcheng's attitude of declaring sovereignty, a hint of helplessness and unwillingness flashed across his eyes.
Once upon a time, I should have been the one standing next to Xiao Miaomiao... Unfortunately, fate played a trick on me, and now everything has changed.
However, even though he felt very uncomfortable, Li Jingcheng finally took into consideration that Xiao Miaomiao was present and did not deliberately make things difficult for Luo Ran in person.
Because he knew very well that if he really wanted to teach Luo Ran a lesson, he would have to at least wait until he got away from Xiao Miaomiao.
Otherwise, if this leaves a bad impression of being narrow-minded and unreasonable in front of Xiao Miaomiao, it would be a loss.
So, Li Jingcheng just said to Luo Ran calmly: "Long time no see."
His tone was as calm as water, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.
Luo Ran also nodded politely and responded, "Yes, it's been a long time."
Luo Ran and Li Jingcheng had the same idea. They couldn't bear to see Xiao Miaomiao fall into trouble.
At this moment, Shui Yunshan saw Li Jingcheng walking towards him, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and he thought secretly in his heart.
This guy actually chased after me! Then, Shui Yunshan stepped forward and said, "How about we go have a meal first, how about that?"
When Li Jingcheng heard this, he immediately turned his gaze to Xiao Miaomiao and asked softly, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to try the restaurant your senior brother mentioned? I'll take you there today."
Xiao Miaomiao nodded slightly, indicating that she really wanted to go, but then responded with difficulty: "Forget it, that restaurant requires reservations in advance. If you don't make a reservation in advance, there will be no seats at all."
"Let's find another opportunity to go next time. There's no rush anyway."
However, Li Jingcheng shook his head confidently, and then said to Xiao Miaomiao: "Don't worry about the reservation, we can go directly there and eat."
Xiao Miaomiao was shocked when she heard this. She stared at Li Jingcheng with wide eyes and asked curiously, "Do you have any acquaintances there? Or have you reserved a seat in advance?"
Li Jingcheng smiled and explained calmly, "I have known the owner of this restaurant for a long time. He also gave me a VIP card. With this card, I can dine here anytime and anywhere without any reservation procedures."
After hearing this, Xiao Miaomiao almost jumped up with excitement, a bright smile on her face, and she responded impatiently: "That's great! In that case, let's set off quickly, I'm really greedy."
In fact, Xiao Miaomiao regretted it very much when she heard from Second Senior Brother about the delicious food in that restaurant. It would have been great if she could have asked Second Senior Brother to help pack a portion for her to bring back.
Now that she finally has the chance to taste it in person, how can she not be overjoyed?
It’s not that the food Li Jingcheng arranged for her was not delicious enough, but sometimes people are full of desire and yearning for things that are difficult to obtain or temporarily unavailable.
Just like at this moment, the food in front of her was rich enough, but perhaps it was precisely because of this temporary unavailability that she became more and more greedy for these Western foods.
Luo Ran had never expected that Li Jingcheng actually had acquaintances in a foreign country.
When he was in China, he didn't realize there was anything special about this.
And now that he is abroad, Li Jingcheng can so easily use his connections to enjoy such convenience and preferential treatment, which is really amazing.
One has to admit that Li Jingcheng does have extraordinary abilities and means, and his abilities far exceed Luo Ran's original imagination.
The card in Li Jingcheng's hand was an extremely distinguished VIP card. The box he booked with this card was even more luxurious, comfortable, spacious and bright than the one Luo Ran had previously booked.
When Xiao Miaomiao stepped into the box, her eyes were instantly attracted by the dazzling array of exquisite dishes on the table.
Faced with so many delicious dishes with such a wide variety, she didn't know which one to choose for a moment and seemed a little overwhelmed.
"Don't worry, I have already informed the person in charge here in advance. We will come here to dine in the next few days, and I will try to let you try every specialty dish here." Li Jingcheng said with a smile.
He himself was actually quite surprised. He didn't expect that Xiao Miaomiao, who had always been fond of Chinese food at home and even preferred Chinese flavors for breakfast, would...
After coming to a foreign country this time, I unexpectedly developed such a strong interest in Western food.
"If I had known that you had a special liking for Western food, I should have given you the card when you went abroad." Li Jingcheng looked at Xiao Miaomiao gently and said softly.
Xiao Miaomiao smiled and responded, "It's not too late now! Actually, I don't particularly like Western food. I just came here and followed the local customs. I want to try different flavors."
"When I'm at home, my favorite is always the delicious Chinese food." As she said this, she happily took the steak that Li Jingcheng had carefully cut for her.
At this time, Li Jingcheng turned to look at Shui Yunshan and Luo Ran, and then handed them the secondary cards that the waiter had just handed over respectfully.
He looked at them and said slowly, "Please keep these two cards. If you want to eat here in the future, just show these cards at the front desk. Someone will arrange seats for you. You don't need to make reservations in advance."
Shui Yunshan was not at all pretentious. He readily took the card and thanked him.
Luo Ran on the side smiled lightly, wondering in his heart whether Li Jingcheng had other intentions in doing this.
He nonchalantly played with the cards in his hand and teased with a half-smile: "Mr. Li, you are really charming. You can attract many admirers wherever you go."
"Look, even the sister of the restaurant owner is your admirer. I saw clearly just now that you had a very pleasant conversation with the restaurant owner. I'm sure there must be a lot of stories between them, right?"
Obviously, Luo Ran did not miss the warm greetings between Li Jingcheng and the restaurant owner.
There was a look of deep regret on that man's face, as if it was a great pity that Li Jingcheng failed to marry his daughter.
Li Jingcheng calmly explained to Xiao Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, don't get me wrong. I just bought a stake in this restaurant when I came here to discuss business."
"As for Lance's sister, I've never met her at all."
Xiao Miaomiao frowned and asked in confusion: "Since she has never met you, why would she be so in love with you?"
In fact, Xiao Miaomiao had just noticed Li Jingcheng talking to the boss.
But because what they were talking about was too professional and complicated, Xiao Miaomiao was confused and bewildered. In the end, she simply stopped paying attention and focused her attention on the recipe in front of her.
Li Jingcheng quickly held Xiao Miaomiao's hand and said softly to comfort her: "I really don't know anything about this. But please believe me, there is only you in my heart, and I have never responded to anyone else."
"My feelings for you are consistent and unwavering." After saying this, he gazed into Xiao Miaomiao's eyes affectionately to show his true feelings.
At this moment, Li Jingcheng turned his head and glanced at Luo Ran who was sitting next to him, secretly wondering how to get rid of this person. What a waste of time!
When everyone had almost finished eating, Li Jingcheng first glanced at Luo Ran, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Not long after, Luo Ran also stood up and said that he was going to the bathroom.
Shui Yunshan saw the two "big Buddhas" leave one after another, and finally breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
After all, in front of these two people, he always felt a little restrained and depressed.
Xiao Miaomiao raised her head slightly, looked at him with eyes as clear as water, and said with red lips: "Brother, why are you so nervous?"
Throughout the whole evening, he was even more taciturn than I was when I first arrived. Especially at the dinner table, he just kept his head down and ate without opening his mouth.
At this time, Shui Yunshan pushed the tray full of food in front of him aside with a helpless look on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Tell me, how can I not be nervous?"
"Not to mention that one of them is my important investor, the other one is a big shot that I took great pains to invite back! I dare not offend either of these two big guys easily!"
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, and then muttered: "Faced with this situation, what else can I do except shut up and eat obediently?"
Shui Yunshan shook his head and continued to complain: "In my opinion, they both got up one after another and said they were going to the bathroom. That was just an excuse. Their real purpose was to find an opportunity to discuss things in private without you."
