Free Web NovelChapter 712: Man Asked, "Why Are Your Ears So Red, Too?
"Eat, dinner?"
Next, Sheng Yi stood by and watched as Dao An took out the thermal lunch boxes from the bag one by one, uncovering each lid, and she discovered—
"It’s all Hunan cuisine!"
Her voice rose several pitches, full of surprise.
After eating foreign food for so many days, suddenly seeing her favorite Hunan cuisine in a foreign land, how could she not be surprised?
The man said, "I was a bit busy this afternoon, and the time I could spare was a bit late. In this year abroad, I’ve rarely cooked myself, not because I’m lazy, but because I really didn’t have time. My cooking skills might have regressed a bit, but the spiciness should still be there."
Hearing what the man said.
Sheng Yi was stunned: "These... were all made by you?"
Dao An nodded, naturally pulling her wrist to indicate for her to sit down, "It’s still warm, if we don’t eat it now it will get cold. If we heat it again, the spiciness might not be enough."
Sheng Yi sat down.
Looking at the four dishes in front of her, three of which had chili, and the other was a small green vegetable, they looked so appetizing, making her fingers itch to start eating.
"I love Hunan cuisine the most!" she said while wiping her hands.
The man glanced at her, "I know."
He knows?
When did he find out?
No... it should be his very confident tone just now.
But she didn’t think much about it, picking up her chopsticks: "It must have been Yuanyuan who told you before she left, it’s just too much trouble for you, being so busy with work and still taking the time to cook and bring it over, thank you~"
The last "thank you" sounded crisp and sweet.
"You’re welcome."
Dao An also picked up his chopsticks, placing a piece of spicy fried beef in Sheng Yi’s bowl: "I barged in unexpectedly just now, sorry for startling you."
Sheng Yi heard his apology, but felt embarrassed, shaking her head: "No, no, it’s just that I’ve been a bit on edge these past two days."
"I knocked on the door a few times, waited for almost a minute, and still didn’t see you open the door, I thought you might have fallen asleep and that’s why I called you. After the call connected, I didn’t hear your voice anymore, just some strange noises, that’s when I thought something might have happened and I got worried, so I used the hotel’s spare card to enter the suite." He explained the situation.
Sheng Yi looked at him, he entered using the hotel’s spare card?
It’s happening again...
Back then, Qin Bing entered this way too.
Now, Dao An entered the same way.
Why would such a high-end five-star hotel easily give a spare card to someone other than the guest?
It’s not strict at all.
Who would dare to stay at a hotel if things continue this way?
Of course, her thinking this wasn’t blaming Dao An for coming in, she was eager to see him, it’s just that the hotel’s laxity in providing a spare card was indeed a terrible thing.
Just as she was contemplating whether to complain to the hotel and demand an improvement, the man seemed to see through her thoughts and added another explanation: "I own 16% of the hotel’s shares."
Sheng Yi had just picked up the piece of beef Dao An had given her, and with a ’plop’ sound, it fell back into the bowl.
The man’s lips curled into a smile as he watched her.
Sheng Yi paused for two seconds, hurriedly picking up the piece of beef from the bowl again, swallowing hard before slowly putting the beef into her mouth.
Just as the beef was about to enter her mouth, she heard the man say, "Recently acquired shares."
’Plop’ again.
The beef that was almost in her mouth fell again, back into the bowl.
This time she didn’t rush to pick it up, but looked nearly dazed at the man sitting opposite.
— He said he owns 16% of 414 Hotel’s shares.
— He also said he recently became a shareholder.
So, he got the suite’s spare card as a shareholder.
"Last time’s incident was due to the hotel’s oversight, and because of it, the hotel management has been completely overhauled. From a realistic standpoint, even with a complete overhaul, in a money-driven world where profit is king, no one can guarantee with 100% certainty that things won’t happen again, but at least the recent issues won’t happen again, this much can be assured."
Dao An said slowly, placing another piece of beef in Sheng Yi’s bowl: "Even so, I’m not completely at ease, so after we finish eating, I’ll take you to my place to stay for a couple of days."
’Plop’ again.
This time, the sound was clearer than before.
After dropping the beef twice, this time, she directly dropped her chopsticks too.
Sheng Yi’s expression was no longer just stunned but already a little shocked.
What did she just hear?
Dao An wants to take her to his place to stay!!!
Is he serious?
"Isn’t this, isn’t this, too much of a bother for you?" Curious enough, why is it that now when she speaks in front of Dao An she gets tongue-tied, she wasn’t like this before, she patted her rapidly beating little heart, and quickly went to put the fallen chopsticks back in place.
"No, it isn’t."
She heard the man’s response.
It isn’t!
Her hand stilled for a moment while placing the chopsticks.
However, she wasn’t prepared yet and if she were to go stay there temporarily, what if his girlfriend came over? But she didn’t feel right asking this, pretending to know nothing might be more comfortable, asking might make her seem like she’s overthinking, and make her uncomfortable.
But the temptation is so great, what to do?
Should I go?
Go for it, she’s going back to the country soon anyway.
"Yuanyuan said you’re heading back to the country in the next two days, staying at your place temporarily sounds good, so I’ll be intruding on you then." She mustered up the courage to agree.
Afraid that if she agreed too slowly, he’d change his mind.
While Sheng Yi was secretly delighted at the chance to stay at the man’s place, she didn’t notice the smile curling on the man’s lips.
