Chapter 17: Unexpected Encounter in the Restaurant 2_2

Ou Chengtian's great reputation is not only renowned in the business world but also very well known in the entertainment industry. His company, ST Company, has risen in such a short time and nurtured so many outstanding newcomers, causing a stir among people in the entertainment industry.

However, Ou Chengtian is always low-profile in his actions, so few people have seen him.

But now, he actually called her, which greatly surprised Luo Ai'ai.

"Miss Luo, do you have time later?" Ou Chengtian's mellow voice, like a glass of vintage wine, was intoxicating.

Afraid that he would not know her eagerness, Luo Ai'ai quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, I have time all day today."

"Good, let's meet at Lu Lake Restaurant at seven." Ou Chengtian finished speaking and immediately hung up the phone, showing no intention of treating her with tenderness.

His gentle and cultured demeanor is only maintained for necessary people. For a woman like Luo Ai'ai, whom he would never meet, there was no need to keep up such a demeanor.

The feeling of abruptly being hung up on made Luo Ai'ai a bit stuffy. After all, she had always been cherished by others. No one had ever given her a hard time. She was always the one to hang up on others, not the other way around, and so, naturally, she was a bit upset.

However, thinking of Ou Chengtian's incoming call, all dissatisfaction flew away as if it had little wings.

Ou Chengtian, who he himself was, the CEO of the Ounuo Group, a multinational company across Asia and Europe, was not only talented but also very wealthy.

Moreover, he was extraordinarily handsome.

Luo Ai'ai had seen him in newspapers before. He was indeed exceptionally handsome, far better than the male actors she had worked with. His temperament alone left them far behind.

While she was no sheltered woman, any woman facing Ou Chengtian would be quite excited.

Luo Ai'ai glanced at the time, it was already five fifty.

She quickly jumped up from the bed, walked into the dressing room, and began to dress herself.

No matter what Ou Chengtian wanted with her, the night was very important, and Luo Ai'ai chose her outfit for the night carefully from inside to outside.

Fearing to be late because of traffic, Luo Ai'ai even made a point of leaving early.

She always had people waiting for her in the past, but today, she was until now, willing to wait for someone else for the first time.

The environment of Lu Lake Restaurant was excellent, surrounded by water on all sides, with mountains in the distance. No matter where you looked, the scenery was pleasant.

Consequently, the prices here were quite in line with its scenery.

Ruan Xiangchen handed his car keys to the valet, and then walked in with Xia Liyou and Ai Wei.

It was still early, so there weren't many people dining.

Because having dinner at Lu Lake Restaurant was more enchanting later, with breathtaking views.

Moreover, lots of wonderful things happen at night, like, say, romantic encounters.

The waiters here were professionally trained, so even though they all recognized Ruan Xiangchen, they calmly led his party to the private room.

Xia Liyou looked up at the surroundings. The decoration here was all in a Western style, from the dining table to the furnishings, everything was delicate and thoughtful.

In the center of the ceiling hung a huge, brilliantly beautiful chandelier.

But in the private room, there was a sense of claustrophobia. Xia Liyou touched her chest and lightly frowned.

Seeing her discomfort, Ai Wei asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Xia Liyou exhaled lightly, trying to maintain a smooth breath, and asked in a negotiating tone, "Can we sit in the main hall?"

Ruan Xiangchen chuckled softly, "If Miss Xia wants to sit in the main hall, of course we can." He then ordered the waiter, "Lead us to the main hall, and find us a seat with the best view."

The waiter understood and immediately escorted them out of the private room, choosing a spot with a great view in the main hall.

The sky wasn't dark yet, dusk was approaching, and the setting sun was slowly sinking, casting scattered light on the lake, causing the entire lake to shine with a subtle luster, displaying its quality.

"Feel free to order anything you want to eat," Ruan Xiangchen generously passed the menu to Ai Wei and Xia Liyou.

Xia Liyou withdrew her gaze from the window, took the menu from Ruan Xiangchen, and said lightly, "Mr. Ruan, you don't have to be so polite. Just ordering a few dishes will be fine."

"How can that be? I specifically invited you guys to come for dinner. If you don't eat well, others will say I Ruan Xiangchen don't treat people properly," Ruan Xiangchen said, jokingly.

Men who are humorous, fun-loving, and gentlemanly are always more likely to win the favor of women.

But in Xia Liyou's case, it wasn't very effective.

Her expression was indifferent, and she couldn't even be bothered to give a perfunctory response. Ai Wei, however, was very perceptive and sided with him.

Seeing that Ai Wei's face didn't show any surprise at Xia Liyou's reaction, it seemed that she was always like this.

So it turned out that this woman didn't put on an act, but rather, she was exactly like this.

That made Ruan Xiangchen quite interested. He'd never come across such a woman. It seemed that his decision to seek her out had been correct.

Ai Wei casually ordered a few dishes and then returned the menu to the waiter. Xia Liyou didn't order anything because Ai Wei had already ordered the dishes she liked for her.

After the waiter left, the three of them were a little silent.

Xia Liyou was looking out the window from time to time, occasionally checking her phone. Ruan Xiangchen, on the other hand, was just observing every move Xia Liyou made with a hint of amusement.

Ai Wei, having nothing better to do, watched the reactions of the two of them carefully. As she saw Ruan Xiangchen's smile growing stronger, she started to feel a little worried.

It would be a good thing if Ruan Xiangchen really liked Liyou after all, but, if he just wanted to fool around, then she wouldn't allow it.

But from the looks of it, Liyou seemed to have no feelings for Ruan Xiangchen at all. In fact, judging by her attitude, she seemed not to like Ruan Xiangchen much.
