At six in the evening, the shopping plaza in the center of the city was bustling with activity.
Chu Yu pushed open the door to the dining hall and saw Xiang Qicheng sitting at a seat close to the window with her back to him. That was the seat exclusive to her and Rui Ni every time they came to the dining hall.
She was surprised that Xiang Qicheng had arranged to meet her at this restaurant, but he had stayed in Australia for a period of time after all. It would not be strange for him to know about this restaurant.
”I ordered some congee for you, no sugar.” Once he sat down, Xiang Qicheng looked up and said to her.
Chu Yu's stomach was not good. When he was at home, he would occasionally let the nanny cook some congee to nourish his stomach. After drinking it for a few months, his stomach had finally recovered a little.
However, in Australia, Xiao Mi could not be bought anywhere. The reason why Xiang Qicheng chose this restaurant was because it was a Chinese restaurant, and also had a lot of stomach-nourishing porridge.
She did not like eating sweet things, so when she was ordering, Xiang Qicheng specifically reminded her not to put sugar on it.
”Thank you.” Chu Yu indifferently said as he put down his bag. However, these two words caused Xiang Qicheng's brows to tighten.
Although she might have said it without thinking, to his ears, she seemed too distant and polite, as if she was trying to distance herself from him.
Xiang Qicheng finally suppressed the words from his mouth after drinking a mouthful of the tea at his side.
”This morning, Rui Ni and I went to the School of Design …” Chu Yu slowly spoke out. The hand that was holding the white porcelain cup was a little nervous, and he thought about what to say to not make Xiang Qicheng feel like his decision was too sudden.
Although she knew that Xiang Qicheng would definitely understand and support her, she was still a little nervous and apprehensive when she really had to say it out loud.
”Hmm, what's wrong?” The waiter brought out two bowls of porridge, Xiang Qicheng helped her stir the porridge with a spoon to cool it down.
”I... I plan to continue completing my studies, so you may have to take care of the matters regarding Chu Family Group. What do you think? ” Speaking till here, Chu Yu suddenly became terrified, his firm tone in front of Rui Ni turned into a question, he carefully looked at Xiang Qicheng and asked softly.
She suddenly thought that the matter of the Xiang Family Group was enough for him to be busy, furthermore the company was getting bigger and bigger, Xiang Qicheng had to do it himself. Now with the addition of Chu Family Group, he would probably need to use a body splitting technique to be able to make it over … Thinking about it, Chu Yu suddenly regretted that he made a decision that was too hasty, and did not consider these issues.
”How about I …”
”Alright, you take care of it and finish the book.” Xiang Qicheng interrupted her words and pushed the congee in front of her, his expression did not change at all.
After hearing the answer, Chu Yu was startled for a moment. Then, a warm feeling flowed through his heart, and he did not know what to say.
”It's cold.” Xiang Qicheng opened his mouth once again and took a sip of the congee in front of him.
”Hmm?” Chu Yu did not react and looked at him suspiciously.
”You'll be cold if you don't drink the porridge, or do you want me to feed you?” He raised his eyes and looked straight at her with a pair of beautiful eyes. His expression was extremely serious.
Chu Yu's face immediately turned red, she shook her head and quickly picked up her spoon to drink the porridge. The seats in the dining hall were practically all full. Thinking of what Xiang Qicheng had just said, she wanted to cover her mouth with her hands.
