The waiter, who was waiting quietly on the side for them to order, could tell that he had been trained well. Even though he saw that the star, which was the favorite of the ten thousand people on the screen, was sitting right in front of him, he didn't show any other emotion on his face.

An Ning wasn't too keen on Western cuisine, so she handed the dishes over to Gu Ruoyun. After asking her if there were any taboos, Gu Ruoyun quickly finished ordering, then closed the menu and passed it to the waiter.

With the door closed, only the two of them were left in the room. Gu Ruoyun let out a long breath and leaned back against the back of the chair.

”I've been tired these past few days. I've been rushing to announce it.”

Gu Ruoyun's voice was full of fatigue, and the dark circles in her eyes that she hadn't covered even with makeup were exposed under the light.

An Ning looked at Gu Ruoyun with a pained expression, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it wasn't easy for everyone to live their lives. When she saw Gu Ruoyun on the television, she always wore a delicate and exquisite appearance, and her smile was calm and charming.

”How long has it been since you last slept? Your dark circles are so heavy.”

Gu Ruoyun raised her eyes to look at An Ning, her fingers moving slightly as if she was counting the time.

”It's been three days already, but I should be able to have a good night's sleep.”

Having said so, Gu Ruoyun suddenly sat up, placed her elbows on the table, and supported her chin as she looked at An Ning.

”Oh right, how are you doing now? Who's so lucky to be in the top three?”

Seeing that Gu Ruoyun had regained her vigor as soon as there was gossip, An Ning smiled helplessly.

”Yes, Li Xiaoran is one, as well as the two young misses from the Song and Wang families!”

Upon hearing a name that she was very familiar with, Gu Ruoyun's eyes widened with interest.

”Li Xiaoran?” She's quite fast. ”

The waiter carried an ice bucket and placed her on the table. He opened the bottle and prepared to pour some wine for An Ning, but An Ning hurriedly stopped him. She was currently pregnant and couldn't drink, so Gu Ruoyun didn't mind.

While the wine was being poured, the waiter behind them came in and placed a serving of Marseille Corn in front of them. The next waiter ordered it precisely, and after the two used it, the appetizer, Citrus Mussel Ball, was brought in.

On a comma-shaped black plate were four round balls that looked like Soup Dumplings. However, their structure was more similar to that of Soup Dumplings. Their skin was thin and coffee-colored with purple shell shaped petals on their heads. They looked very attractive.

From the looks of it, Gu Ruoyun was not only very tired, she didn't seem to have had a proper meal these past few days. After serving the food, she rarely spoke to An Ning, and only occasionally brought up something delicious with this dish. It wasn't until the dessert was served and the waiters had all left that Gu Ruoyun finally put down the knife and fork in her hands, letting out a long sigh of satisfaction.

”Oh right, I actually want to ask you something.”

It was unknown whether it was because she was full or because Gu Ruoyun was a little drunk after drinking a few cups of wine, but her tone of voice carried a bit of laziness. If the person sitting opposite her was a man right now, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist and soften half of his body.

An Ning put down the knife and fork in her hand, and looked at Gu Ruoyun seriously.
