Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Almost Maddeningly Annoyed

He was very serious and focused, his dark eyes resting on her face, emanating an oppressive feeling that she couldn’t determine the source of.

She was astonished by the man’s words!

An apology?

Did "apologize" really exist in Fu Chenlie’s dictionary?

Wen Ran had always thought that someone as domineering, autocratic, and self-righteous as Fu Chenlie wouldn’t even know how to spell the word sorry.

He hadn’t waited for her to speak, his tone rising as he urged, "Mrs. Fu, I’m waiting for your response, hmm?"

It was then that Wen Ran snapped back to reality.

She glanced at the flowers he had offered her, understanding dawned on her—

If she accepted them, it meant agreement.

If she didn’t, it meant rejection.

But, this was just a juncture for the two to make peace, there seemed no need for rejection?

Wen Ran’s gaze shifted from the captivating fresh flowers to Fu Chenlie’s face, meeting his intense eyes before looking away in panic, her lips pursed as she uneasily took the flowers, barely managing to say two words: "Thank you."

Fu Chenlie’s expression darkened slightly.

Was this woman really so composed?

It seemed she wasn’t touched at all; her face didn’t even display the vanity he had imagined.

He found it unbelievable, moving her chair slightly for her to sit back down, his perplexed gaze resting on her face as he slightly squinted.

Wen Ran didn’t notice Fu Chenlie’s scrutiny.

After sitting down, she placed the flowers beside her and then looked up at him.

Fu Chenlie returned to his seat.

At that moment, the waiter knocked and came in to serve the meal.

The two maintained a moment of silence until the waiter left, and Wen Ran, staring at the scrumptious food before her, suddenly became curious after remembering the exorbitant prices on the menu, wondering how the meal would taste.

A voice interrupted her thoughts, "Mrs. Fu, I’ve invited you to dinner and given you flowers, what do you think?"

Wen Ran’s gaze moved from the food to Fu Chenlie’s face, looking at his handsome, smiling visage, she grinned slightly, "I think the food at this restaurant is quite expensive, the cost-performance ratio seems a bit low."

Fu Chenlie, "..."

His expression turned gloomy immediately.

Undeterred, he asked again, "Nothing else?"

Anything else?!

Wen Ran thought for a moment, and glanced at the flowers she had put aside, "The flowers are pretty, today is the first time I’ve received flowers from someone, I’m quite happy."

Fu Chenlie frowned slightly, "Is that all?"

She also frowned, puzzled, staring at the man, "Boss, what exactly do you want to ask?"

What did he want to ask?

His lips twitched, "Nothing, let’s eat."

"...Oh."

After responding, Wen Ran picked up the cutlery and started eating.

She first tasted a bite of broccoli, chewing carefully, trying to discern if broccoli from such a high-end restaurant, priced so extravagantly, could offer a taste she had never experienced before.

The verdict was, no.

If there was anything special, it was probably that this broccoli tasted more intense than the usual broccoli.

She looked at Fu Chenlie with a hint of confusion, "Boss, can I ask you a question?"

He replied disinterestedly with a single word, "Ask."

"This restaurant is so expensive, do you think their food is better than other more affordable restaurants?"

He frowned, "What, you think it’s not good?"

Wen Ran shook her head, "No, I just think it’s too expensive. Although you’re very rich, boss, you shouldn’t take me to such expensive places to eat in the future, it feels like a waste of money. If you want to take me out for a meal again, I can choose the place. I’ll take you to eat at affordable and delicious restaurants, how about that?"

How about that?

Fu Chenlie’s mouth nearly twisted from annoyance.

The dinner and fresh flowers he had meticulously prepared, in her mouth, had unexpectedly turned into—

Waste?!
