Chapter 1191: Chapter 995: Dinner Together_2

At 5 pm, the sky had darkened and there were few pedestrians on the road.

Wang Ye walked leisurely on the sidewalk, the cold air filling his lungs made him feel refreshingly "invigorated," his mind exceptionally clear.

The several bodyguards were all dressed in plain clothes, wrapped in somewhat bulky down coats. However, underneath those coats, they were outfitted with submachine guns, invisible from the outside.

Two walked in front of Wang Ye and two behind, vigilantly observing the surroundings. If they detected anything unusual, they would take action immediately!

Wang Ye was also wearing a down jacket, looking just like any other young person you might see on the streets of Moscow, very low-profile.

Soon, he arrived near the Lake Baikal Hotel where Donia stayed, a business street lined with plenty of shops, supermarkets, coffee shops, and restaurants.

Wang Ye did not deliberately pick any high-end restaurants; he simply chose a coffee shop that looked relatively elegant and clean and walked in.

Here, coffee shops served not only coffee; they generally also offered meals, functioning somewhat like small diners.

After entering the coffee shop, Wang Ye chose a rather secluded corner to sit down, while the bodyguards dispersed into two tables, forming a triangular surround to the spot where Wang Ye sat.

Sitting down, Wang Ye called Donia again, telling her he had arrived and giving her the name of the coffee shop.

Donia cheerfully agreed to come, but she asked Wang Ye if she could bring a classmate along, as her roommate, having heard about the dinner invitation, also clamored to join.

Seemingly worried that Wang Ye might misunderstand, Donia hurriedly explained it was the classmate she had met in the lounge where Wang Ye had been.

Wang Ye, of course, had no objections.

...

While drinking coffee, Wang Ye gazed out the window at the streetscape, waiting for Donia’s arrival.

Before long, he saw Donia and another girl push the door and come in.

Upon entering, Donia peeked around, clearly looking for Wang Ye.

Wang Ye stood up with a smile and waved to Donia.

Donia walked over quickly, smiling broadly, and said to Wang Ye, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Lily insisted on putting on makeup before coming down, which delayed us quite a bit."

The girl beside her hurriedly explained, "What’s wrong with putting on makeup? Coming to dinner all dolled up is also a form of respect for others. Besides, you’re not without makeup yourself, hehe."

Donia too had put on light makeup, making her look even more delicately pretty. She naturally did not need heavy makeup since it would only conceal her inherent beauty!

The girl named Lily was also quite pretty, but her beauty paled in comparison when sitting next to Donia, making her seem somewhat dim.

Since they were sitting face to face with only a dining table between them, Wang Ye could see even more clearly.

He couldn’t help but sigh internally, "Heaven" really "favored" Donia. Many girls’ beauty was meant to be admired from a distance, or perhaps was only evident in movies or in photos. When seen up close and face-to-face, many "imperfections" became apparent.

But Donia was different; even from less than a meter away, and face to face, no imperfections could be detected, and she appeared even more beautiful.

As the three of them chatted and ate, Donia also sneaked several glances at Wang Ye.

She and Wang Ye had only acquainted themselves that afternoon, but by evening, she had already accepted his dinner invitation. This was unprecedented for Donia.

In school, she was not so easy-going with the boys who pursued her, and she had never gone out to dinner with any boy...

The reason she behaved this way with Wang Ye was that she had felt an indescribable charisma about him when they first met, which was intensely attractive to her!

Donia was young and primarily focused on her dance practice, hence she lacked what one might call life experience. Thus, she could not pinpoint exactly what that quality was in Wang Ye, though she had never felt it with anyone else before.

When she received Wang Ye’s call, she had said that when the rehearsal ended, she had instinctually looked around the venue for Wang Ye.

This was because she hoped to spend more time with Wang Ye, feeling that having him as a friend would be quite nice...

When she didn’t spot him, she felt a bit disappointed.

However, after receiving a call from Wang Ye, Donia felt an immense joy, as if she had regained something precious she had lost.

Perhaps, this was the feeling of a first love...

Sitting face-to-face and dining with Wang Ye, Donia seemed a bit shy and spoke infrequently.

Besides listening intently to Wang Ye’s words, she occasionally stole glances at him, then quickly shifted her gaze away, afraid that he would notice.

...

In contrast to Donia, Lily was much more lively, fulfilling her role as a perfect "mood maker."

She talked to Wang Ye about many of Donia’s experiences at school.

For instance, there had been a wealthy student who pursued Donia by sending flowers to their dorm every day, which Donia directly rejected without even glancing at them, distributing the flowers to her dorm mates instead.

Moreover, Donia’s aspiration was to join the Russian Royal Ballet Troupe in the future, naturally, a dream shared by every ballet student.

After all, this ballet troupe was renowned worldwide and often toured internationally. It was said that the salary and fame were also significant!

And so on and so forth...

Wang Ye listened with a smile, nodding in agreement from time to time.

About his own affairs, he hardly spoke, as there was not much to say, and he also refused to lie or deceive.

Fortunately, these two young women did not pay much attention to politics or the news, and they hadn’t recognized him, otherwise, they would not have been so natural in his presence.

If that had been the case, it would have been too dull.

As it was now, simply being an ordinary person in a regular coffee shop, chatting and dining with two beautiful women, that felt quite wonderful to Wang Ye.

He hadn’t experienced this kind of life in a long time...

In recent years, wherever he went, he was always surrounded by crowds, and his meals were largely confined to a few top-tier restaurants and private dining rooms.

It seemed like his life was becoming detached from that of ordinary people.

Not that it was bad, but it was a bit exhausting...

...

"By the way, Misha, tomorrow we are having an official performance at the grand theater. I heard that some big shots from Moscow and a foreign delegation will be there; it’s going to be quite a grand event. Will you be coming to the venue?"

Donia suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Ye.

Wang Ye nodded with a smile.

"Of course, I actually work in the government, and I am part of the preparation team for this visit by the foreign delegation. Going to watch your rehearsal this afternoon was also part of my job.

I will definitely be at the venue for the official performance tomorrow.

By the way, Donia, do you need me to present you flowers on stage after your performance?

I see those superstars receiving lots of flowers onstage from their fans."

Donia quickly waved her hand, "Please don’t come up to present flowers while I am dancing. There will be many important figures in the audience, and it could lead to an accident! But I won’t refuse if you want to give me flowers after I come offstage."

Wang Ye laughed heartily and didn’t press her further.

In fact, if Donia had agreed, it would have been tricky to handle.

Because during the show, he was supposed to accompany the Chinese delegation, and it wouldn’t look right to abandon these dignitaries midway to pursue a "fan moment" with flowers onstage.

That would seem overly impetuous and unbefitting his stature and position!
