384: Chapter 384 Couple's Restaurant

One thing is one thing.

Although Shen Yan greatly disliked the Employees at this shop, the owner was quite understanding, so he had no intention of taking advantage of him.

He decisively took out the card from his wallet and handed it to the young owner.

"Just take it as I told you to. I'm not short of this little money."

Hearing this, the young owner no longer declined.

As he accepted the card Shen Yan handed him, he said to Shen Yan, "Although I have already apologized once, I still have to apologize again. This time it was due to my poor management, and this will not happen again."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Shen Yan just smiled.

After buying everything he needed, Shen Yan led Wu Ya out of the evening gown shop.

The exhibition was scheduled for two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

It was still early, so Shen Yan turned to ask Wu Ya, "What do you feel like eating?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Wu Ya thought for a moment and replied, "Before coming, I heard there was an internet-famous restaurant with pretty good reviews. How about we give it a try?"

Wu Ya had accompanied him on this business trip to S City, so how could he possibly refuse such a small request?

Shen Yan readily agreed.

One hour later.

The two appeared at the entrance of the internet-famous restaurant.

Although Shen Yan already knew from Wu Ya that this restaurant had good reviews and was extremely popular, he was still shocked by its popularity when he reached the entrance.

From the entrance to the parking lot, a very long queue was lined up.

"This... do we also have to queue up with them?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Wu Ya quickly shook her head and replied, "I already made a reservation before we came, so we don't need to queue and can go straight in."

As soon as she finished speaking,

Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

If he really had to stand at the entrance and wait for several hours, he definitely wouldn't agree.

Thinking that, he and Wu Ya walked toward the restaurant entrance.

Two Waitresses were standing at the entrance to receive guests.

As soon as they saw them, the two bent over and asked, "May I ask how many people you have for dining?"

Wu Ya: "Two."

The Waitress nodded, took out a tablet, and asked them, "Do you have a reservation?"

Wu Ya nodded: "Yes, the last four digits are one eight nine four, Ms. Wu."

Not long after, the Waitress found the reservation information on the tablet.

"All right, your reserved number is eighteen. You still need to wait about half an hour."

Hearing this, Wu Ya's eyes widened.

"I booked two days in advance, why do we still have to wait half an hour?"

The Waitress looked apologetic,

"I'm truly sorry. Our reservation methods are divided into online and offline modes. Since yours was an online reservation, even though it was two days in advance, the time slots overlapped with those who booked offline."

Well, it was still because there were too many customers that they had to wait half an hour even after booking two days ahead.

Thinking this, he suddenly met Wu Ya's hesitant gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Ya pursed her lips and asked him, "He says we still have to wait half an hour. Should we go eat somewhere else?"

Actually, Shen Yan didn't mind.

As long as the food wasn't bad, he could eat anything.

But after all, this was the restaurant Wu Ya had booked two days in advance.

He didn't want Wu Ya to have run all this way only to leave dejectedly back to the hotel.

So he nodded to Wu Ya and said, "It's fine, just half an hour. It will take time to go somewhere else too."

Hearing this, Wu Ya immediately smiled.

"Okay, then we'll wait for half an hour!"

Half an hour was half an hour.

Half an hour later, the Waitress came out to greet them and led the two inside.

The decoration of this high-end restaurant was European style.

Entering felt like being immersed in high society.

The Waitress led the two to a window seat and said, "Please wait here for a moment. A dedicated Waiter will come to serve you shortly."

Shen Yan nodded.

After a while, a Waiter with a buzz cut and wearing a mask came over.

The restaurant's signature dishes were Western cuisine.

Shen Yan didn't have much of an appetite for Western food, so he casually ordered a steak that looked decent and handed the menu to the Waiter.

Wu Ya ordered a salad and a bottle of red wine.

After ordering, Shen Yan finally had the leisure to observe the surrounding guests.

As he looked around, he noticed something was off.

All the guests in this restaurant were pairs, and they were all a man and a woman, with an intimate atmosphere—clearly all couples.

A sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Shen Yan frowned and asked Wu Ya, "Is this internet-famous restaurant a couple's restaurant?"

Wu Ya's heart skipped a beat. She guiltily touched her nose and shook her head, "No... it's not."

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and said nothing more.

Since they hadn't ordered much food, the Waiter finished serving all the dishes shortly after.

Before leaving, the Waiter also placed two pink roses covered in dew drops into a vase.

"These pink roses are a gift for the two of you. We hope you like them."

Looking at the pink roses dripping with dew, Shen Yan and Wu Ya were uncharacteristically silent.

"Cough... Maybe it's because everyone who comes to this restaurant is a couple, so they mistakenly thought the two of us were also a couple."

Wu Ya felt guilty even as she said this.

Seeing her voice trail off, Shen Yan sighed, "Forget it, let's eat."

The meal ended.

Shen Yan and Wu Ya hadn't spoken much.

On the way back, Wu Ya suddenly spoke while looking at the street scenery flashing by the window.

"Are you angry with me?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan countered while driving, "Why would I be angry?"

Wu Ya's fingertips trembled, and she lowered her head to reply, "Because I tricked you into coming to a couple's restaurant to eat with me."

As she finished speaking,

Shen Yan sighed.

"So what did we do?"

Wu Ya looked up and blinked.

"Huh? Do what?"

Shen Yan shook his head.

"We went there to eat, not to do anything else. Whether it's a couple's restaurant or an internet-famous restaurant, it makes no difference to me."

Knowing that Shen Yan wasn't angry, Wu Ya felt both relieved and sad.

"That's great," she murmured.

Shen Yan didn't hear clearly and asked, leaning closer, "What did you say?"

Wu Ya pursed her lips into a smile and shook her head, replying, "Nothing, I didn't say anything."

Shen Yan didn't press the issue further.

They didn't speak another word until they returned to the hotel.

Standing at the door of their room, Wu Ya suddenly took a deep breath and said to Shen Yan standing beside her, "Brother Shen, don't worry, I won't do anything that crosses the line."

Shen Yan hadn't expected Wu Ya to suddenly say that.

He was stunned for a moment before asking Wu Ya, "Don't you ever... ever think about liking someone else?"
