Chapter 718: Chapter 718 I Like You_1

Concerned that he might arouse Cheng Bingbing’s suspicion, Huo Qilin reined himself in a little.

"I’m happy because I can help a friend," he hastily invented an excuse.

A thoughtful look flashed in Cheng Bingbing’s eyes.

Was he happy because he could help others?

She tentatively asked, "This friend of yours is a girl, right?"

"Um." Huo Qilin ambiguously nodded his head.

This ’friend’ of his was something he made up on the fly, and he had no idea if they were male or female.

Though clueless why Cheng Bingbing thought this fictional individual was a girl, he didn’t dare to refute. He was afraid of messing up in front of her.

A tinge of sadness flashed in Bingbing’s eyes.

Perhaps, the person Qilin referred to during their red carpet appearance was the girl who owns the restaurant?

As this thought occurred to her, a touch of bitterness rose within her heart.

But this was fine too!

Once he had a girlfriend, she could completely give up on him!

Huo Qilin, oblivious to Cheng Bingbing’s thoughts, cheerfully led her into the restaurant.

The ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant were exceptionally terrific; there was nothing to pick on.

Of course, if it weren’t so, Qilin wouldn’t have spared no expenses to book the entire restaurant, choosing to confess his feelings to Bingbing right here.

Because the restaurant was exclusively serving both Qilin and Bingbing, the dishes were served with exceptional speed.

After the two of them ordered, the dishes were served within minutes.

Cheng Bingbing earnestly wanted to contribute something for Huo Qilin’s friend, even if that friend could be someone Qilin was interested in.

Following the serving of the dishes, she earnestly tasted the food.

After just one bite, her eyes revealed a touch of astonishment. The food was delicious, fresh, sweet, and retained the original flavors of the ingredients. It was very unique.

This was the first time she had tasted such unique and delicious dishes.

Bingbing initially thought that the dish she tasted was a signature dish. Therefore, it was that delicious, while the other dishes probably wouldn’t be as tasty.

So, she tasted the other dishes.

But she found that she was completely wrong. The other dishes were even more delicious. The first dish she found fabulous was comparatively the plainest.

Cheng Bingbing could now proclaim that this was her favorite restaurant - none could compare.

However, she didn’t dare jump to conclusions readily.

After all, given her background and experiences, she didn’t have much exposure or experience. Perhaps what she found delicious could just be average for someone who had tasted countless delicacies.

She put down her chopsticks and looked towards Qilin, "Qilin, how do you find the dishes here?"

It took a moment for Qilin to react and understand her intention behind the question.

"Ah, I..." he was momentarily lost for words.

All he had been thinking about was his upcoming confession, causing his heart to be in turmoil. Even if he was served with the most exquisite delicacies, he would have no mood to taste them.

How would he know how the dishes tasted here?

Unable to answer Bingbing’s question, Qilin threw the question back at her. "What do you think?"

"I think it’s delicious," said Bingbing, biting her lip, her face glowing slightly with embarrassment. "In all the restaurants I’ve been to, this one serves the best food."

"I think it’s delicious too," Qilin immediately shared the same opinion.

Seeing that his view aligned with hers, Cheng Bingbing felt relieved, a smile spreading across her face.

She praised while smiling radiantly, "Right, their food is really delicious. It’s unbelievable that no one is dining here."

While speaking, she couldn’t resist picking up a piece of fish, enjoying it with a look of delight on her face.

Qilin had never seen her praise a restaurant or anything this effusively.

This showed how much Cheng Bingbing genuinely loved the dishes at this restaurant.

Realizing this, he put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said, "You continue eating; I’m going to the restroom."

Cheng Bingbing nodded and continued with her meal.

Once Qilin left his seat, he did not go to the restroom but to find the manager of the restaurant to delay the schedule of his confession a bit.

He could tell Bingbing loved the dishes at the restaurant, and he didn’t wish to interrupt her midway. He decided to confess only after she had finished her meal.

"Sure, our staff is ready at any time. As soon as you give us a sign, we’ll execute your original plan immediately," said the manager, obliging respectfully.

The reason wasn’t just that Huo Qilin was a superstar, but also that he was the second young master of the Huo family and younger brother of Young Master Huo.

The restaurant absolutely didn’t dare to offend Huo Qilin and couldn’t afford not to satisfy him.

After discussing with the restaurant, Qilin returned to his seat and continued to accompany Cheng Bingbing with her meal.

Bingbing didn’t know whether it was because the food was just to her taste, or because she was pregnant and had a large appetite, but nearly all of the full table of dishes ended up in her stomach.

After she was full, she sincerely commented, "I think the food at this restaurant is delicious. Maybe it’s not popular because they don’t advertise, so people don’t know about it."

Knowing that the owner of the restaurant might be the one Huo Qilin liked, she generously offered, "I’ll post a status in a bit to help promote your friend’s restaurant."

"Mm, okay," Huo Qilin agreed, his legs trembling from nervousness. He hadn’t clearly heard what Cheng Bingbing said and just nodded his head in agreement.

Considering Cheng Bingbing was done eating, she stood up with her purse in hand, ready to leave.

Seeing this, Huo Qilin immediately stood up too, his voice filled with agitation. "Where are you going?"

"We’re finished, of course we leave now," Cheng Bingbing stated matter-of-factly. Seeing Huo Qilin this agitated, she assumed it was because she hadn’t posted a status and said, "The status to help promote your friend’s restaurant will have to wait until we get back. Otherwise, my location will be exposed, making it unsafe."

"That’s not what I meant!" Huo Qilin quickly explained.

Bingbing looked at him with confusion, "Then you...?"

Sweat beads formed on his forehead from the nervousness, "What I meant was, we can’t just leave without having dessert."

Seeing him say this, Bingbing had no choice but to sit back down, "You can ask them to serve the dessert then."

Qilin wiped the sweat from his palms onto his clothes, "You sit here for a bit. I’ll go check why the dessert hasn’t arrived yet."

Bingbing wanted to tell him not to rush, but since he seemed to be in such a hurry, she didn’t stop him and let him go to the kitchen to urge on the dessert.
