Chapter 99: Chapter 99 This gentleman, we do not want to share a table

Following Zhuang Shuqing’s gaze, Leng Yixing saw a woman who looked innocent but was dressed seductively. He squinted his eyes, scanned her from head to toe, and asked Zhuang Shuqing, "Is she the woman who got drunk at No.9 Mansion last time?"

"Yeah, you still remember?"

"Heh, occupational hazard. Let’s go."

Qin Huaixin was fretting over the menu when a large face suddenly appeared in front of her. She jumped in fright, but once she recognized it was Zhuang Shuqing, she exhaled in relief, "Zhuang Shuqing, are you trying to murder your bestie here?"

Zhuang Shuqing did not expect to startle Qin Huaixin and gave an awkward smile. She sat next to her and then motioned for Leng Yixing to sit across from them.

"Why are you eating alone today?"

"Don’t remind me, my dad wants me to learn cooking, so whenever he’s not home, he gives the household staff and nanny time off. You know, with my cooking skills..."

"Pfft~"

Zhuang Shuqing couldn’t help but laugh outright. Qin Huaixin’s culinary skills were simply unbearable, not just for others but even herself.

"Mr. Qin is doing the right thing, but he overlooked one issue."

"What issue?"

"His daughter has no talent in this area."

Qin Huaixin: "..."

Turning her face away from her heart-wrenching best friend, she then realized there sat a tall and handsome man opposite her. Though not as handsome as Lu Jinyang, he could easily take the lead when Lu Jinyang was not around.

"Sir, we prefer not to share this table."

Zhuang Shuqing was startled and then burst out laughing, "He’s my... my friend." She initially wanted to say Lu Jinyang’s friend, but Qin Huaixin didn’t know her relationship with Lu Jinyang, so she quickly corrected herself.

"Oh? Zhuang Shuqing, since when did you have a male friend that I don’t know about?" Qin Huaixin frowned, could it be this man she spoke on the phone last time?

But she dismissed that thought quickly because the man’s voice was not the same as the one she heard on the phone.

"Hello, Leng Yixing." Leng Yixing looked up from the menu and greeted her with a friendly smile, both gentlemanly and appropriate.

Qin Huaixin thought, this man’s smile seemed at odds with his cool and classy demeanor, turning him into a warm-hearted guy when he smiled.

"Hello, Qin Huaixin."

Leng Yixing nodded and continued looking at the menu, "What would you guys like to eat?"

"Steak, thank you." said Zhuang Shuqing.

"You can just pick something for me, I’m also struggling." She had already tried every dish here and all tasted good, which made it hard for her to decide even after looking at the menu for a long time.

Leng Yixing looked up at her and suggested, "How about drunken shrimp and some golden fried rice."

Qin Huaixin raised her eyebrows, impressed by his culinary choices.

She gently nudged Zhuang Shuqing and whispered, "Where did you find such an outstanding man?"

"Cough, cough~" At that, Zhuang Shuqing choked on her saliva, and it took her a while to recover before she could say, "Not found, he is... is..."

In her urgency, she started to stammer.

Qin Huaixin smirked slyly, "Nah, don’t lie, you always make that face when you lie."

Zhuang Shuqing: "..."

She didn’t want to lie, but she couldn’t just say she met Leng Yixing through Lu Jinyang. Given Qin Huaixin’s penchant for gossip, this meal wouldn’t go smoothly, especially with a man sitting opposite them.

"Zhuang Shuqing, spill the beans!"

"We met during an interview. Miss Zhuang came to our military base for an interview."

Both women stopped and turned to look at Leng Yixing, one surprised and the other enlightened.
