Chapter 18 - A Big Bundle of Chocolate
As if he could feel Yuan Han's restraint, Gu Mohan put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at Yuan Han gently, ”Xiao Han, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me. ”You just have to keep what you are used to with me.”
”Right.” Yuan Han nodded her head, but her speed of consumption was still much slower.
Gu Mohan sighed helplessly. He picked up his knife and fork and sliced the steak into large pieces, which were two times bigger than before. Then, under Yuan Han's shocked and doubtful gaze, she ate the meat in big gulps.
Looking at Yuan Han's stupefied expression, Gu Mohan laughed and opened her mouth: ”Are you surprised? Hehe … Actually, I prefer to eat like this as well. When she was young, his family wasn't so good. How could they afford a steak and a hot meal? ”Therefore, every time I see meat, I eat it big chunks …”
”Then why now …?” Yuan Han said somewhat hesitantly.
”Isn't this what you do with your customers! Those people eat like I did, and it would be rude of me to eat. As a result, over time, they developed the same way they ate. In fact, I think eating meat like this is more satisfying. ” With that, Gu Mohan took another big bite of the meat.
Yuan Han only knew that Gu Mohan must have suffered a lot when he was young, otherwise she wouldn't have had the chance to help him. But why couldn't he resist the pain in his heart after hearing what Gu Mohan had said just now?
Although she was the daughter of an electronics merchant, due to her stepmother Yang Huanqing and her savage sister Yuan Qi, she had to suffer quite a bit when she was young. In her spare time from junior high, she had to find a way to earn a living on a part-time basis. After reaching university, he had to worry about his tuition. Thus, every time he ate, he would eat it as fast as he could. Because she needed to save more time to earn money and study!
Perhaps, it was because Gu Mohan found it hard to endure similar to his past, but Yuan Han felt that she was one step closer to him. ”Since you're no longer tied up like you were just now, I can't help but laugh heartily.” Yes, it was too tiring to keep up with the dining etiquette. If you want to eat something, you have to eat it happily. Otherwise, no matter how delicious the food is, it won't have any flavor. ”
”Right.” Seeing that Yuan Han finally revealed a smile, Gu Mohan happily nodded his head.
Just as he was about to wipe off the grease from his mouth with a tissue and get ready to leave, he saw a waiter carrying a large bouquet of flowers. Please wait a moment, this is a gift unique to our shop. For every couple who come for the first time, we'll give them away. ”Thank you for eating here, please come back next time!”
Yuan Han unexpectedly took the bouquet from the waiter. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was not a bouquet of fresh flowers, but a bunch of chocolate! This was the first time she had received so many chocolates. Furthermore, they were packed so beautifully! Yuan Han was overjoyed in her heart, she liked this shop more and more.
”Thank you.” After seeing the waiter leave, Yuan Han turned to Gu Mohan and said, ”I never thought that this shop would be so considerate, I really like this place.”
Gu Mohan glanced at the bunch of chocolates that Yuan Han was holding and raised her eyebrows, ”You like it?”
Yuan Han nodded, ”En, I like chocolate the most.”
”Don't eat too much at once.” Gu Mohan secretly noted down what Yuan Han had said, but he did not forget to remind him.
”Yes, I know.” Yuan Han hurriedly nodded his head in agreement.
At night, after returning to Gu Mohan's house. After Yuan Han finished washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she sat down by the desk and started to seriously look through the documents she brought back from the company.
