Su Peizhen alighted from the other side of the car.
She did not see Su Qingsang, but as she noticed Qiu Yanbo staring into the distance motionlessly, she turned her attention in the direction he was looking at, which was towards the entrance of the restaurant.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing,” Qiu Yanbo looked away. “What made you want to dine at ChaoWen Courtyard today?”
“I heard that they’ve just changed their chef, and the new chef is the descendant of a cook from the royal kitchen in the past.”
Su Peizhen linked her arm with Qiu Yanbo’s. Qiu Yanbo observed the gentle manner with which she did that and did not retract his arm.
The pair entered ChaoWen Courtyard. The restaurant consisted of private dining s.p.a.ces, hence upon entering there was no way of knowing who the diners were unless one went to the lengths of finding out their ident.i.ties ahead of time.
“Oh, right, I heard that the company you work for is in the midst of negotiating a ma.s.sive partners.h.i.+p deal. How is that coming along?”
“It’s in the final stages.” At that moment, Qiu Yanbo thought of Huo Jinyao and recalled what he had seen at the entrance of the restaurant. It made him frown slightly.
Su Peizhen did not see his frown. Upon entering, they made their way to the private dining room they had reserved in a habitual manner, as they were regular customers of the restaurant. They settled into their private dining s.p.a.ce.
After ordering their dishes, they continued to converse about more work-related matters. The Qiu and Li families had always been business partners. In recent years, both enterprises had grown their businesses substantially.
After Su Peizhen finished talking about work-related matters, she suddenly changed the topic.
“Yanbo, my mother had instructed me to ask you about when we will be holding our wedding.”
Qiu Yanbo paused in his act of pouring her tea. He looked up at Su Peizhen, a smile tugging slightly at his lips.
“What’s the matter? Are you starting to be impatient about getting married too?”
