12: Meet

The main reason for Jiang Yuwei's fear and apprehension was Feng Fangfang.

What if Unrestrained Wind was the type of person Feng Fangfang had encountered?

After much deliberation.

Jiang Yuwei decided to meet this 'Big Brother' first. If he really turned out to be an old man she couldn't accept, she would just return the rewards to him.

Thinking this, she felt much more relaxed and began to type: "Brother Feng, you decide, as long as it's not during class time."

"Then let's set it for tonight, at the St. Regis Hotel Chinese Restaurant."

Why did Xu Zimo choose this place?

The St. Regis is inherently a top luxury hotel in Xingcheng, so after dinner, wouldn't it be perfect to check into the hotel?

As for other things...

Although he had a mansion, Xu Zimo only had a little over nine thousand in usable funds, so he couldn't spend it recklessly. Moreover, going to the St. Regis Hotel wouldn't lower his status.

It was also fortunate that it was Xingcheng, where various expenses were still relatively cheap. Nine thousand was more than enough, even enough to book a decent suite.

In the chat box, 'typing' kept appearing and disappearing.

Xu Zimo didn't rush her.

After about three minutes, Jiang Yuwei finally sent a message: "Okay."

"Then I'll wait for you!"

Then, Xu Zimo quickly went to book the restaurant and a room.

He booked a window seat in the restaurant for a better ambiance, and for the room, he booked a Caroline Astor Suite.

Two thousand seven hundred for one night.

Daytime.

Xu Zimo slept until the afternoon before getting up.

Working was out of the question; he wouldn't work another day.

He had sent a resignation text to his supervisor yesterday and didn't accept their attempts to make him stay.

So refreshing!

It had been a long time since he'd woken up naturally.

Opening his WeChat, possibly due to that moments post, many people had sent messages to Xu Zimo.

He replied to a few of them casually.

Then there was Lu Jiaqi, who had already started working, selecting furniture and sending Xu Zimo many pictures of actual items.

Lu Jiaqi was indeed good at her job, meticulous, with clear details on the items and prices.

"You've gone to a lot of trouble."

Afterward, Xu Zimo got up, washed, and chose a looser set of clothes to hide his love handles.

On Jiang Yuwei's side.

All day, she was in a daze during class. After class, she rushed back to her dorm, dawdled for half an hour, and was about to leave when Feng Fangfang pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing her dressed so beautifully, Feng Fangfang teased, "Tsk tsk, dressed so pretty, won't your Big Brother be utterly smitten by you?"

She then feigned a sigh, pitying herself: "Alas, it seems I have no chance at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Jiang Yuwei's cheeks flushed slightly as she retorted, "I'm just going out for a meal, it's not what you're imagining."

"Really not?"

Feng Fangfang teased.

"It's all your fault!"

Jiang Yuwei glared at her, then walked out of the dorm without looking back.

"Weiwei!"

"Be careful, call me if anything happens."

"Got it."

After leaving school, Jiang Yuwei hailed a taxi and headed to the St. Regis Hotel.

On the way, she sent a message to Xu Zimo, saying she had already set off.

When she arrived, it wasn't completely dark yet, and there were quite a few people walking around. Jiang Yuwei's palms were sweating from nervousness.

"Brother Feng, I've arrived. Where are you?"

"I see you!"

Xu Zimo, who had just gotten out of the car, spotted her at once.

At this moment, Jiang Yuwei was wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, its hem gently swaying like a lily blooming in the morning breeze, pure and flawless.

Her upper body was adorned with a light, transparent chiffon blouse draped over the dress, its faint blue color like the early summer sky, fresh and pleasant. The cuffs of the blouse were slightly rolled up, revealing her slender, fair wrists, adorned with a simple silver bracelet that shimmered with a soft, understated luster in the morning light, complementing her temperament perfectly.

The young girl's long hair fell smoothly over her shoulders. She gently tucked a few stray strands behind her ear, revealing a pure and lovely face.

Her bright eyes were like deep spring water, crystal clear, her nose bridge tall and delicate, her lips naturally pink and tender, her long eyelashes gently trembling, and her lightly pursed lips all spoke of her nervousness.

Jiang Yuwei's gaze was fixed on the hotel exit. Just then, a big, fat man, over two hundred catties with a round face, walked out.

At that moment, she almost suffocated.

Sure enough, was this the standard for a 'Big Brother'?

She instinctively wanted to run away. The moment she turned, she bumped into someone, and as she stepped back, she said, "Sorry..."

"Weiwei?"

It was Xu Zimo.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Yuwei was stunned for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Are you Brother Feng?"

"Who else?"

Upon receiving the answer, Jiang Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the man in front of her was slightly chubby, his age and looks were barely acceptable.

She hadn't dared to hope that 'Big Brother' would be a handsome young man in his twenties.

Those three conditions were too difficult to meet.

Moreover, Xu Zimo had a very attractive face shape, somewhat similar to a young Zun Long, just a bit rounder.

"Hello, Brother Feng, I'm Jiang Yuwei."

She seemed very nervous, her face slightly red.

"Xu Zimo."

Xu Zimo glanced around. "Let's go, this isn't the place to talk. Let's head to the restaurant first."

Saying that, he extended his hand to Jiang Yuwei.

Jiang Yuwei hesitated for a moment, then reached out and shook his hand.

But what she thought was a handshake turned into Xu Zimo leading her by the hand into the hotel.

She tried to pull away several times but didn't dare to use force. Once in the elevator, with others present, it was even harder to speak up.

Thus, her small hand remained held all the way to the 49th floor of the St. Regis Hotel.

The entrance to the Chinese Restaurant was visible right out of the elevator.

Although the lobby space wasn't large, the overall design was dominated by elegant white, complemented by luxurious crystal chandeliers, exuding a refined atmosphere.

Because they had a reservation, a Waiter quickly led them inside and proactively pulled out chairs for them.

It was then that Xu Zimo naturally let go of her small hand.

Jiang Yuwei was clearly entering such a high-end restaurant for the first time; she was a bit nervous, even declining when Xu Zimo asked her to order.

So Xu Zimo casually ordered a few dishes.

However, both of their minds were clearly not on eating; one was nervous, the other expectant.

When they were almost finished eating, Jiang Yuwei finally mustered the courage to say, "Brother Feng... Brother Xu, actually, those conditions weren't proposed by me."

"Oh?"

Then, Jiang Yuwei briefly explained the whole story.

She didn't know why she felt compelled to say it, perhaps to convey that she wasn't a casual person?

Xu Zimo, of course, understood her mindset. It seemed her roommate had provided an assist.

If it were just two 'Number Ones', it might really just be a meal.

But filling up the exhibition hall and the mysterious shop... could that still just be a meal?

If this matter went smoothly, in the future, he could treat her roommate to something if he had time.

He wasn't a stingy person.
