Chapter 691: Chapter 693: Fingers Intertwined

She tightened her grasp on Luo Qinghe’s hand, their fingers interlaced and palms together, her voice as sweet as ever, "I’m easygoing, you can have whatever you fancy. I... When I went before, I wasn’t the one ordering, so I don’t really know what’s good and what’s not."

"This is simple," Luo Qinghe’s fingers gently pinched the back of Bai Wei’s hand, which was soft to the touch—only someone who has never had to lift a finger their entire life would have such hands, "I’ll order the food. Have them serve up their signature dishes, and then you and your parents can decide which ones to include in our engagement banquet."

It seems they really didn’t concern themselves with small details, considering that their engagement was the day after tomorrow, but they had yet to decide on the dishes for the engagement banquet.

But, their delay could be attributed to the fact that they had an argument a few days before the engagement, and both were too proud to concede easily.

Last time, Luo Qinghe grudgingly admitted defeat, but his unwilling attitude not only failed to appease Bai Wei, it made her even angrier, hence their cold war lasted until today.

As a result, the decision kept getting postponed till today. If Luo Qinghe hadn’t come over, it’s very likely they would only be able to choose the dishes tomorrow during the day.

However, by the looks of their carefree attitude, they didn’t seem to realize that making menu choices for their engagement ceremony the night before could cause a considerable inconvenience to the chefs.

It was fortunate that the hotel belonged to Luo Qinghe’s family, otherwise a typical hotel would have objected long ago and might have even canceled their event.

The streetlights on both sides of the road were reflected on the car windshield and on their faces, making them look even more attractive under the brilliant lights.

As traffic increased, Bai Wei voluntarily released Luo Qinghe’s hand, "Focus on driving, be safe."

Luo Qinghe chuckled, not saying much—his hands obediently took hold of the steering wheel, yet the corners of his eyes kept falling on Bai Wei’s figure.

Their year-long entanglement and almost six months of dating had rarely led to tender moments like this, as their relationship had always been filled with arguments and noise.

Whenever Bai Wei saw He Xing and Fu Han enjoying their peaceful moments together, she couldn’t help feeling envious. She always thought that her way of interacting with Luo Qinghe was somewhat problematic and different from other couples, which could be one of the reasons for her insecurity.

But now, there were no more issues between them. With the barriers removed, Bai Wei believed that there would be many more beautiful and tender moments like this in their future.

Suddenly, Bai Wei’s phone rang, "Who’s calling me at this time? Are they not afraid of getting scolded?" Bai Wei muttered and took out her phone.

Upon seeing the caller ID on the screen, her expression changed drastically, from initial impatience to an anger she couldn’t express.

She gritted her teeth and answered the call, "Hello, Cousin He Xing, what do you need?"

Luo Qinghe didn’t miss any nuance of Bai Wei’s expression, he was especially pleased. Whenever Bai Wei mentioned He Xing, she seemed resentful, leading him to believe she disliked He Xing; but it appeared more like she was actually afraid of him.

Not knowing what He Xing said, Bai Wei’s voice relaxed considerably, "Ah, you’re coming to have dinner with us? You should have told me earlier, I’ll send you the location right now."

After hanging up, Bai Wei stuck her tongue out at Luo Qinghe and playfully said, "He Xing knows Fu Han is having dinner with us, he’s probably planning to surprise Fu Han, so he called me."

Luo Qinghe’s lips remained curved upward, not intending to respond to Bai Wei, but feeling she was expecting an answer from him, he smiled calmly, "Yeah, that’s probably it."

Bai Wei spoke again, as if talking to herself, "Actually, it’s good that He Xing is coming. We’re all in pairs, and Fu Han is a third wheel. Adding her is quite the influence, she’s like a high-wattage bulb."

Luo Qinghe’s lips were coaxed into a bigger smile by Bai Wei, and he pinched her cheek, which felt great, mirroring his current mood, "I think you have a point."

The hotel where they were having dinner was a five-star establishment that had reserved a private room for them in advance.

Before Fu Han entered, she looked up, trying to discern how many floors the hotel had. Luo Qinghe answered her casually, "The hotel is twenty-two stories high. The first five floors are dining areas, and the rest are hotel rooms. Our engagement ceremony will be held on the fifth floor."

*Cough cough*, "This hotel is indeed quite expansive," Fu Han nodded and smiled, "Not surprising for the Li Family."

Bai Wei looked up nonchalantly, "What’s so impressive about that? Fu Han, have you forgotten about our hotel in M Country? It’s much bigger than this one."

Sometimes, Fu Han really wanted to pry open Bai Wei’s head to see what was inside—how did she manage to offend people so effortlessly?

Just a second ago, pride was evident on Luo Qinghe’s face, but in the next moment, his expression changed and following an awkward cough, he said helplessly, "Well, your family is certainly more impressive."

Bai Wei lifted her chin, the words "Of course" almost slipping out before Fu Han grabbed her, whispering sternly in her ear, "You won’t lose a piece of yourself by talking less."

After that, Fu Han pulled Bai Wei into the hotel.

The five-star hotel deserved its accolade; upon entry, it exuded opulence and brilliance. The lobby reached the height of a three-story building, adorned at intervals with gigantic crystal chandeliers that bathed the area in daylight-like brightness.

The ground floor featured an open dining area, with tables seating a maximum of five people. It was almost full at the time, indicating good business.

A staircase at the center of the lobby, with thick red carpeting and finely carved railings, suggested everything was luxurious and spotless.

Private dining rooms were located on the second floor and above. They were led to a spacious private room, not only equipped with a dining area but also a sitting room with facilities for watching TV and singing, plus a separate restroom. The huge sofa was comfortable enough to sleep on, and a hint of fragrance lingered in the room, creating a truly cozy atmosphere.

Waiters filed in to set the dishes and arrange the table settings. Fu Han noticed six sets of cutlery being placed, but there were only five of them. Curious, she wondered if Luo Qinghe’s parents were also coming. However, with their arrival, there should have been seven sets instead.
