Chapter 1363: Chapter 1356: The Proposal is Underway (14)

Qin Zhiyou booked this restaurant, a famous landmark building in Yan City, once the tallest in Yan City, located in the financial center.

The financial center is in the most expensive CBD District, overlooking the Yan River, its exterior shaped like a scepter, with a rotating restaurant at the head of the scepter, serving the highest standard French cuisine in Yan City. Many celebrities and politicians host banquets here, and it’s never short of marriage proposals or birthday celebrations.

What’s splendid is, even though it’s in the CBD District, across the river lies an open park. Yan City often holds large events there, all visible from the financial center. Seats by the window, especially on weekends, are usually booked a month in advance. If it wasn’t for Qin Zhiyou’s reservation, they probably wouldn’t have gotten the best view even a month later.

Lu Weixi followed Qin Zhiyou in, led by the waiter to a window seat, where they could see the scenery of Yan City through the floor-to-ceiling window. Below their feet, a winding river, alongside beautiful stretches of greenery, with a park not far away. However, surrounding the park were closely spaced buildings.

With beautiful views, naturally, there was also gourmet food. Lu Weixi wasn’t particularly interested in whether it was French cuisine. Now over three months pregnant, she suddenly felt her morning sickness disappear one day. As long as the dishes weren’t too fishy, she could eat fish and meat. The only requirement was that everything had to be well-cooked, with beef fully done, and no blood duck. After all, she now needed to be cautious for the baby.

The two settled down, ordered today’s chef-recommended set menu, and Qin Zhiyou even swapped Lu Weixi’s main dish of blood duck for a truffle beef steak, well-done. The wine and champagne in the set were also replaced with non-alcoholic beverages. After ordering, the waiter first brought over some bread. Lu Weixi didn’t eat, just looked at the scenery outside, feeling a faint anticipation.

Thinking back to the news she saw yesterday, where boyfriends would hide rings in soup. French cuisine is rather elaborate, with dishes like blood duck requiring bones to be crushed, meat juice extracted, and various spices added for stewing. Even if rings could be hidden inside such dishes, they would be sticky when retrieved, so it seemed better to place them in soup, at least diminishing the flavor.

By the time they arrived, lots of people were sitting at the neighboring table. It appeared someone was celebrating a birthday, Lu Weixi noticed, seeing a multi-tiered birthday cake in the distance. When they took their seats at six-thirty in the evening, it wasn’t dark yet. By nearly seven o’clock, night fell, and lights lit up near and far in Yan City. Under the neon lights, the sight was stunningly beautiful, incredibly compelling.

After a short wait, the appetizer and soup were served. Lu Weixi showed no interest in the appetizer, casually set aside the dish after a few bites, waiting for the soup. As soon as it arrived, she eagerly grabbed a spoon, not to drink, but to stir the bottom of the soup, checking for any foreign objects.

"What’s wrong, is there something not right?" Qin Zhiyou asked curiously, looking up at her.

Lu Weixi shook her head: "No."

But it was so strange. Although the soup had some cream in it, not entirely clear, she stirred for ages and found nothing.

That’s right, the best was always saved for last; she would eat slowly, waiting for the ring to appear.

Finally, carefully finishing one dish after another, they arrived at the last dish - dessert. If Qin Zhiyou were to hide the ring, this tiramisu was the last possibility.
