Chapter 303: dine together
Chapter 303 Dining together
Pass by.
Xia Ling finally knew why she looked familiar—her hairstyle, face shape, and dressing style were all very similar to her previous life! It was almost like seeing another version of myself.
Her eyes followed the girl's back unconsciously, and she couldn't hide the shock on her face.
“Is she pretty?” It was still Pei Ziheng’s low-pitched voice.
Xia Ling came back to her senses and shook her head subconsciously. That girl was a beauty, yes, but she was still far from her in her previous life. She was not on the same level at all. Although they are similar, they are just crude imitations of clothing, and there is a sense of inconsistency that a tiger cannot be compared to a dog.
There was a trace of regret in the depths of Pei Ziheng's eyes, but his gaze at Xia Ling was even deeper: "It's really not good-looking." She was far inferior to the girl in front of him, although her appearance was not similar to his Xiao Ling. But every move and every move, that kind of natural and irreplaceable charm, is simply the rebirth of his Xiao Ling.
If she were not eighteen years old this year and she was already sixteen when Xiao Ling died, Pei Ziheng would really doubt whether she was Xiao Ling's reincarnation.
It’s ridiculous.
But he missed her to the point of madness.
“Come and sit here,” he invited again. “Everything happens, why don’t you even give me a meal?”
"I already..." She really didn't want to face him too much and wanted to use her previous excuse to refuse.
"Have you eaten?" Pei Ziheng said, still in a very gentle voice, "Then eat some desserts with me. Or I can ask the waiter to bring some to your table."
Xia Ling glared at him, this person definitely did it on purpose!
Ask him to send someone to deliver dessert to her table? Jimmy and Rong Ping, who had dinner together today, were both outsiders, and even Lin Yunan was not someone they could confide in. Her entanglement with Li Lei has already aroused great interest from the outside world. If Pei Ziheng is involved again...
Just thinking about it, she felt that the picture was too beautiful to look at.
For the sake of world peace and peace of life, she gritted her teeth and agreed to his invitation.
Isn't it just to have a meal with him? Then leave after eating and make a quick decision.
Xia Ling made good plans and sat down opposite him.
Pei Ziheng asked the waiter to bring back the menu and handed it to Xia Ling: "What do you like to eat?"
Without even looking at it, Xia Ling asked the waiter directly: "What's the most expensive thing here? Bring it all!" She was in a bad mood and made up her mind to take revenge on him, starve him until his flesh hurts.
Pei Ziheng just looked at her indulgently, with a hint of imperceptible sadness deep in his eyes.
Even when she lost her temper, she was exactly the same as the girl who had passed away.
Xia Ling saw the look in his eyes and suddenly realized that she was too childish, would she make him poor? According to this way of eating, you won't be able to shake him even a hair in the next life, you will just create trouble for yourself. She got even angrier and grabbed the menu she had thrown aside. This time she ordered what she liked: "Grilled scallops, medium-rare veal steak, salt-baked cocktail shrimp, pumpkin porridge..."
Finished it in one breath, finally satisfied.
The waiter was polite: "Excuse me, do you want the dishes you ordered before? There are a lot of them, and this table can't fit them."
Xia Ling was stunned for a moment. She didn’t even notice how many things she had ordered. The dining table in front of her was quite spacious and could accommodate four people for normal meals. Could she be... too wasteful...
"Yes." It was Pei Ziheng's voice, with a slight smile, "Go slowly one by one, we are not in a hurry."
Could he be planning to let her eat here all night? "You won't let me leave until I finish eating, will you?" she asked weakly, losing all the momentum she had when ordering.
Pei Ziheng hummed vaguely.
Xia Ling is about to cry.
“Can you return the unfinished food?” She discussed it with him nicely, but she knew she was wrong, really.
"Let's start with the ones that the lady ordered later." Pei Ziheng seemed to be in a good mood and was surprisingly easy to talk to. "Pack the rest for her and send them to this address." He took the pen and paper and wrote down an address. It was the place where she and Luoluo rented.
“I didn’t say packing.” She protested quietly.
“It’s a late night snack.” He said warmly.
Well, she went out for a meal and went back with so many late-night snacks. The most important thing is, these are not just a midnight snack, they should be enough to last all day tomorrow, right? Impulse is the devil, and she will never order randomly again.
The food arrived, the shrimp cocktail and veal steak were all delicious and delicious.
Xia Ling buried her head in eating. She had to say that these dishes were much more to her liking than the clear soup on Rong Ping's table. The fatigue caused by socializing this night was wiped away when she faced the temptation of delicious food. Food was definitely her best choice to restore her strength.
Pei Ziheng didn't move his chopsticks very much, and looked at her with gentle eyes as he ate the big meal.
Even the way she eats is very similar to Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling also had a physique that kept her from getting fat when she was alive. She didn’t have the worries of other actresses losing weight. She loved to eat meat and felt full of happiness every time she ate. The light in the elegant booth was dim, as if even her person was cast in a circle of blurry light and shadow, infinitely overlapping with the perfect girl in his memory...
“Xiao Ling.” Unknowingly, he murmured.
She was so focused on eating that she didn’t hear it.
Another booth in the restaurant.
"Miss Ye has been gone for a long time, right?" It was Jimmy, looking at his watch, "Why haven't you come back yet? Are you okay?"
Lin Yunan was also confused. He was supposed to go to the bathroom and it should be quick. He dialed Xia Ling, but found that she had left her phone in her bag, which was on their seat.
“This kid is really annoying.” Lin Yunan showed an apologetic expression to Rong Ping and Jimmy, summoned the waiter, and asked him if he had noticed the lady who had just left her seat.
"Ms. Ye?" the waiter was very smart, "I just saw her and went to another booth nearby, and was invited to have a meal with the people over there."
Everyone was a little surprised.
“Who is it?” Rong Ping asked first.
The waiter smiled politely and did not answer. In a high-end club like theirs, protecting the privacy of guests is a very important principle. If it were not related to Miss Ye's safety, he would not even tell her whereabouts to the people at the same table. Now, that's all they can say. As for who Miss Ye is with, they can only ask her herself.
and…
Compared to the guests at this table, Mr. Pei at the table over there is a regular customer.
Mr. Pei is a very good guest. He is of high status and generous, and he is not difficult to serve. Except...he doesn't like to be disturbed. The waiters here, large and small, were all given orders when they took office.
