Cheng Xiaoyou sat dazed on the spot, unsure whether to follow up or wait for Gong Chen. He seemed to have left in anger.

  The waiter didn't idle around and pushed a serving cart over to them, bringing a full cart of dishes, then brought up the nourishing and invigorating sea cucumber stew.

  "Miss, if you need service, just press the bell on the table and our server will come over." The shift leader said with a smile.

  "But there's really a lot of dishes, we might not be able to finish them, can we get a refund?"

  "Excuse me, are you Palace's girlfriend?" The leader seemed to find her question somewhat laughable and couldn't help but curve the corners of his lips as he asked.

  Cheng Xiaoyou's face turned red as she shook her head, wondering why everyone she met asked this.

  "This is the first time I've seen Young Master Gong bring a girl over, and usually he only orders a few seafood dishes and some vegetarian dishes. This time, except for three things he doesn't eat, he's ordered everything else, probably to cater to your taste." The manager said with a smile that was as warm as spring rain, calmly pointing out this fact.

  "Are you saying he doesn't usually order so many dishes?" Cheng Xiaoyou was surprised and couldn't help but ask the leader again.

  "Uh, Young Master Gong has a unique taste, he only likes to eat those few dishes. The leader saw that his goal had been achieved, and it seemed that this girl was shocked by the news for a moment, temporarily forgetting about the issue of taking back the dish. In this way, at least the performance brought by Young Master Gong's meal today won't be lost."

  Cheng Xiaoyou's gaze followed Gong Chen's disappearing figure, he didn't say anything, she had no idea that she was taking care of her. Just now she said he was wasteful, no wonder he got angry.

  "Miss, take your time, I'll go down first!" The leader nodded and left with the waiter.

  Cheng Xiaoyou looked at the full table and the cart of dishes with a slightly worried expression, not knowing that hot pot could be eaten like this. Although she still felt it was a waste, thinking about what the leader had said earlier about Gong Chen's efforts, her chest was filled with an unknown emotion.

  Today he was clearly kind enough to take her out shopping, but ended up getting annoyed by her all the time. Thinking about it, she seems to be overreacting.

  Now, Gong Chen has been driven away by her and doesn't know if she'll come back to settle the bill later. To be honest, even if they sold her, they still wouldn't be able to afford this meal.

  Cheng Xiaoyou smelled the fragrance coming from the bottom of the pot and couldn't care about anything else. Anyway, she hadn't eaten breakfast yet and was already starving. Forget it, let's eat first.

  And she worried that Gong Chen, who was angry and didn't come back to settle the bill, was now wandering around in circles inside the mall, and had returned to the previous household goods section, pretending to look at things.

  "May I ask what you would like to purchase?" The waitress, who had just switched shifts, came over with a bright smile, not knowing if this was a repeat customer.

  "I heard you have couples' sets here?" Gong Chen asked nonchalantly, his eyes already scanning the product area that the waiter had pointed out to them earlier.

  "Yes, our brand has specially designed a couple series, there are three display cabinets here, you can take a look and see what products you need?" The salesperson introduced enthusiastically. Couple's items are all sold in pairs, and the price is relatively high, so the performance will definitely be better.

  Gong Chen looked at the display cabinet filled with various couple's decorations, seemingly all uniquely designed. He turned his head to the waiter and said: "For each type, wrap up the most expensive ones for me!"

  Then he sat there watching the waiter bring over each item for him to review before ordering, and finally packaging everything up and having the waiter fill in the delivery address before heading back.

  "Gong Chen, I thought you weren't coming back!" Cheng Xiao You was so excited to see him that she almost had tears in her eyes.

  She had almost eaten her belly into a ball, but the person who was supposed to pay the bill still hadn't returned. She even asked for the menu again and looked at it, only to find that even the cheapest dishes were no longer within her budget.

  Gong Chen has finally come back, so it won't be a case of being stood up and not knowing how to settle the bill.

  "You can really eat!" Gong Chen looked at the messy table, and the empty pot with nothing left, even the sand ginger used for seasoning was all scooped up and eaten, Cheng Xiao You's appetite is indeed good!

  "I'm mainly afraid of wasting it!" Cheng Xiaoyou leaned back in her chair, rubbing her round belly, and didn't even know what she had eaten earlier. She only knew that by ordering the most expensive dishes on the menu, at least she wouldn't be wasting as much.

  "Let's go!" Gong Chen looked at her and shook his head. There was nothing more to say about her deeply ingrained habits.

  "Wait, help me up, I can't get up!" Cheng Xiaoyou felt her stomach was bloated and she couldn't stand up at all. She stretched out her hand and waited for Gong Chen to pull her up.

  She has never been so embarrassed, and she can't even stand up straight.

  "Cheng Xiaoyou, can you be even more stupid?!"

  Gong Chen turned around, looked at her pitiful appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head again. He chuckled and reached out to pull her up. Then, he pulled her along as they walked outside.

  "Aren't you going to pay?" Cheng Xiaoyou asked, finding it strange that the two of them were leaving without anyone stopping them.

  "This is none of your concern, they will send the bill to the Gong family when the time comes!" Gong Cheng felt that she really liked to worry unnecessarily and ask curious questions about everything.

  Cheng Xiaoyu hummed in response, then looked at Gong Chen walking ahead with large strides, seemingly having no intention of letting go of her hand. The two of them walked like this, feeling quite awkward!

  Holding hands is something only couples do, right?

  But because she was the one who sought help first, she had no idea how to tell Gong Chen to let go.

  This awkward feeling wasn't resolved until they got on the car, when Gu Tong let go of her hand. Cheng Xiao You felt a sense of relief in her heart, but for some reason, she also felt a little lost.

  So firmly holding one's own hand, and others' are not the same, forever giving people a kind of, as long as being held like this, it seems that there is no danger in the world.

  Just like the feeling he gives people, although very cold, but very reliable!

  "You didn't eat lunch just now, are you okay?" After the car started, Cheng Xiaoyou glanced at her phone and saw that it was already past two o'clock. Gong Chen seemed to have not eaten anything yet.

  "Squeak——"

  The car under her suddenly stopped, and then, Cheng Xiaoyou saw Gong Chen's body slowly tilting towards her. Those black crystal-like eyes seemed to have a magical power in the sunlight of the afternoon, firmly attracting Cheng Xiaoyou's gaze like a magnet.

  Then, Gong Chen's lips curled up slightly as she gazed at her and asked, "Who said it was nothing, so - how do you plan to make it up to me?"
