567: Chapter 567 May I take pictures?

"That wouldn't be very appropriate, would it?" Xu Yan was still a bit reserved.

"What's wrong with that?" Chen Cheng said, turning his head to give Xu Yan a beaming look. "It's my honor to be of service to a beautiful woman."

"Hiss~"

Xu Yan instantly felt a current of electricity surge through her body, leaving her tingling.

This man's gaze was so bewitching.

A faint blush uncontrollably crept up Xu Yan's fair cheeks.

Chen Cheng's comment about being "of service to a beautiful woman" had truly made her feel wonderful.

"I'm going home," Xu Yan said, blushing.

Chen Cheng raised his hand to check his watch. "It's barely past six. If you go home this early, wouldn't you be wasting the whole evening?"

He smiled as he spoke, "How about... we grab a bite to eat?"

Meeting his deep, soulful eyes, Xu Yan felt a jolt of electricity. She said reservedly:

"That... wouldn't be very appropriate, would it?"

Chen Cheng didn't mind. "Just think of it as getting to know each other, making a new friend."

Looking at his sharp jawline and the free-spirited demeanor he exuded while driving the ferrari with one hand, Xu Yan found herself captivated for a moment, secretly thinking, "So handsome."

She thought about it again; if she went home now, she would really just be lying around, scrolling on her phone or binge-watching shows, which was indeed a bit boring.

Xu Yan swallowed and said softly, "Alright then."

A corner of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up. "Young people shouldn't waste their precious time on phones and TV."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at her, "Don't you agree?"

"Mm~" Xu Yan nodded with a bright smile on her face.

Suddenly, the car fell into a silence. Chen Cheng didn't feel anything.

But Xu Yan felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Since she had already agreed, Xu Yan didn't bother pretending to be reserved anymore. Her eyes kept darting between Chen Cheng's face and the interior of the center console.

Pursing her lips, she took the initiative to start a conversation, "Is this car new?"

"The interior looks so new."

Chen Cheng had a smile on his lips and nodded faintly, "Yes, that's right. I just picked it up a few days ago."

"A luxury car like this must be very expensive, right?" Xu Yan asked softly.

Chen Cheng's mouth curled up slightly. You really know how to play the game.

He said in a relaxed tone, "It's alright, a little under nine million."

"Nine... nine million?"

Xu Yan's eyes nearly popped out. She had expected it to be expensive, but she hadn't realized it would be that expensive.

Chen Cheng nodded faintly, "Yeah, with the recent major flu, transportation hasn't been convenient."

"There's been a premium, so it's over a million more than in a normal year."

"A million in premium?" Xu Yan was truly shocked.

Chen Cheng smiled, "That's not important."

"Tell me about yourself, what do you do?"

"Me?" A flash of embarrassment instantly appeared on Xu Yan's face.

He has the capability to drive a ferrari with one hand; isn't my job as a small customer service representative a bit too low-class?

Chen Cheng didn't rush her and drove quietly.

Xu Yan pondered for a few seconds, then a playful smile appeared on her face, "My job requires me to use a sweet voice and a nimble tongue to ensure every customer is satisfied."

Hmm?

A nimble tongue?

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment. Are you sure you're talking about work?

Immediately after, Chen Cheng smiled again.

This is probably the charm of driving a ferrari with one hand.

The girl not only knows how to find topics, but also uses a playful and sweet voice to give you very subtle sexual hints.

Sitting in the car, Xu Yan felt the vigorous roar of the V12 engine every second.

At this moment, she was indeed feeling a bit carried away and lost in the moment.

Chen Cheng smiled, "Your voice is indeed very pleasant."

"Really?" Xu Yan was very pleasantly surprised, opening her round eyes and looking at Chen Cheng with great anticipation.

"Of course," Chen Cheng said without hesitation, "I rarely praise people."

"Your voice is very clean, without any thick, dragging quality, and it even has a bit of a magnetic quality to it."

"It really is very pleasant."

Chen Cheng was just forcing a compliment.

But she actually believed it. Xu Yan's mouth curved into a crescent moon, and she blushed without responding.

Chen Cheng turned his head to look at her, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"So I can see where we should go to eat."

Xu Yan immediately shook her head, reacting extremely quickly, as if afraid he would change his mind and not take her to eat.

"I don't have any dietary restrictions, anything is fine."

Chen Cheng frowned slightly, feigning inquiry: "Then... how about French food?"

Xu Yan was very well-behaved, didn't offer any objections, and agreed immediately, "Sure."

Chen Cheng smiled and didn't say anything more.

In fact, he had already booked the restaurant while waiting at the traffic light.

It was the same place Chen Cheng had taken Sun Xin to for the first time.

One reason was that he couldn't be bothered to ask Zou Yu and the others to find a new place.

Second, he had been to this place before, there were no issues, and it was perfectly capable of impressing this little gold-digger, Xu Yan.

Chen Cheng smiled, "Then it's settled. I'll book a restaurant."

As he spoke, they happened to stop at a red light, and Chen Cheng pretended to take out his phone and tap on it.

Xu Yan looked cautiously at Chen Cheng, pursed her lips, and asked:

"Can I take a photo?"

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Take a photo of me?" He shook his head as he said, "I don't like being on camera."

"No," Xu Yan quickly waved her hands, "That's not what I meant."

She gave an awkward smile, "I meant... can I take a photo of your car?"

"I've never ridden in such a nice car before."

"Of course," Chen Cheng said without hesitation, "Feel free to take photos."

"We're friends, it's just a photo, you don't really need to ask."

After speaking, he gave Xu Yan a bright smile.

Looking at his gentle expression, Xu Yan's nervousness lessened a bit.

"Whew~" Xu Yan let out a sigh of relief, took out her phone, found a few angles, and took two photos of the car's interior.

She also revealed the shield emblem on the seat and took a few selfies.

Before long, the two arrived at the destination.

Xu Yan followed by Chen Cheng's side, her expression very reserved and timid.

She couldn't figure out how she had... ended up coming to eat with a strange man.

"Good evening, Mr. Chen. Welcome back to our establishment."

Before Chen Cheng had even walked into the restaurant, the restaurant manager, wearing a suit vest and a bow tie, came up to greet him.

"Mm~ Good evening," Chen Cheng nodded faintly.

"Good evening, Miss," the restaurant manager turned and greeted Xu Yan as well.

Xu Yan was instantly a bit flattered, squeezed out a smile, and nodded, "Hello."

After the greetings, the restaurant manager led the two to the best-view seat in the restaurant.

Before Xu Yan even sat down, she was already stunned by the sky dyed red by the sunset outside the window.

It wasn't that she had never seen a sunset, but seeing it from here had a unique charm.

Chen Cheng took a glance, withdrew his gaze, and gestured with his mouth to the opposite seat, "Sit down, see what you'd like to eat."

Xu Yan nodded slightly reservedly, sat opposite Chen Cheng, and lowered her head to look at the menu.

Chen Cheng smiled, "You seem very nervous?"

Xu Yan instantly looked up at Chen Cheng, feeling embarrassed.

"If you're not familiar with it, you can also order like this," Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows at the waiter.

The waiter immediately understood, with a smile on his face, waiting attentively for instructions.

"This... this... this," Chen Cheng pointed casually at a few items on the menu.

He then looked at Xu Yan and said with a smile, "See, it's not that hard."

"Pfft~" Xu Yan was instantly amused by him.

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows at her, "Want to try?"
