28 She Isnst Ladylike at All in Private (1/2)
Director Zhang and his secretary had a good sleep in their respective rooms too.
Everyone reconvened in the evening when it was time for dinner.
The dinner place was at this hotel as well.
There was a huge courtyard at the back and it had many different varieties of tropical flowers and plants. There were four dining tables, each propped with a large green umbrella.
Wen Xuxu was the first to arrive. She chose the first table on the right and sat down.
Director Zhang and District Head Liu all arrived, one after another.
Yan Rusheng was late.
He'd changed into a new outfit—a white t-shirt with light gray three-quarter slacks. His usual gloominess was missing, and he looked as if sunbeams were shining on him. From top to toe, he radiated a youthful vibe.
He had transformed from an overbearing President to a boy with a cheerful and sunny disposition.
The glow from the sunset shone on half of his face, the light reflected in his charming peach blossom-shaped eyes. Time flickered and just like ripples in the water, they sparkled.
Men were jealous of his looks while the ladies were mesmerized by him.
Xiaoling, who had led them to their rooms earlier, came out of the kitchen with a notepad and pen. The minute she caught sight of Yan Rusheng, her tanned cheeks instantly flushed crimson and looked as if blood had rushed up to her face.
Xuxu watched and observed the whole situation and she glanced teasingly at Yan Rusheng. His hands were hidden in the pockets of his slacks as he slowly walked over.
He went straight to the seat next to Xuxu and sat down. He had probably showered as his body was emitting the mild and faint scent of body soap.
After he sat down, he stared at Wen Xuxu. ”The bed is too hard, what kind of horrible hotel is this?”
Sure enough... She knew his precious body wouldn't be able to get used to the stiff bed. Xuxu gave a light reply, ”I know. I'll put a quilt on your bed later, so that it'll be more comfortable.”
”Which dish prices would you like to order?” Xiaoling walked over as she asked. She looked at Yan Rusheng and her crystal-clear eyes seemed to ripple, reflecting her racing heartbeat.
It looked like this girl had grown up on this island and had never seen a handsome man before. Her actions were flustered and she didn't seem to know what to do after seeing such a good-looking man.
In her heart, Wen Xuxu pondered and the lingering smile on her lips was thought-provoking.
”Isn't there a menu?” Yan Rusheng raised his head and asked Xiaoling.
Xiaoling shook her head timidly. ”No... No.”
She realized that Yan Rusheng's expression was darkening and she hastened to explain. ”Our menu goes according to the prices per table. The prices are $198, $298, and $398.”
