Chapter 269: A Romantic Dinner

The restaurant décor was contemporary. There was a low, heart-shaped, centerpiece of roses in different colors on every table. The room looked dreamy under the soft and warm lighting.
Melodious music was also playing in the restaurant. It was a famous piano piece that Xiaomeng liked very much: Pachelbel’s Canon in D.
Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t help but hum along as she listened to the piano piece.
She was in high spirits and her eyes were crystal clear. She looked like a fairy.
He Ming, who was sitting across from her, couldn’t take his eyes off her.
His soft gaze fell on her.
Ye Xiaomeng said to him, “This is one of my favorite classical pieces.”
He Ming gestured for the waiter to pour them some red wine. He then raised his glass and clinked it lightly against hers. “Here’s to our meeting, getting to know each other and falling in love.”
Ye Xiaomeng glanced at the bottle. Good heavens, it was a 1982 Chåteau Lafite. This kind of red wind was super expensive for a working-class person like her.
She couldn’t help but secretly ask He Ming, “This wine is fake, right? It’s really expensive.”
He Ming couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her. Who would drink it if they knew that it was fake wine?
“Don’t worry, it’s the real thing and I can afford it. You can drink it in peace.” Ye Xiaomeng’s expression really amused him. She probably thought that he was just a lowly paid employee pretending to be rich.
Ye Xiaomeng felt much more at ease when she heard He Ming’s words. Since a rich man was giving her a treat, she wouldn’t stand on ceremony.
She clinked glasses with He Ming and said, “Cheers!”
He Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Cheers!”
Ye Xiaomeng finished her entire glass of wine in one gulp.
He Ming couldn’t help but chuckle. This was the real Ye Xiaomeng: forthright and unpretentious.
“Mengmeng, you shouldn’t drink like that. You’ll get drunk easily if you drink like that.” He Ming saw her downing her alcohol like a waterfall and quickly stopped her.
Ye Xiaomeng didn’t seem satisfied as she licked her glossy cherry lips.
It was such a subconscious action but He Ming found it extremely seductive.
A hint of lust appeared in his eyes.
He almost couldn’t wait for dinner to be over.
Ye Xiaomeng seemed to have sensed He Ming’s burning gaze as she looked away and said, “This wine tastes really nice. I’d like another glass.”
“It’s easy to get drunk when drinking on an empty stomach. Eat something first.” He Ming gestured for the waiter to quickly serve dinner. He Ming ordered medium-well steak, fruit salad, and spaghetti.
Ye Xiaomeng hadn’t eaten since lunch.
Once the steak was served, she couldn’t wait to start eating.
He Ming saw her impatience and cut his steak into small pieces, his movements swift and elegant, before he gave his plate to Ye Xiaomeng.
“Aren’t you hungry? Hurry up and eat.” He Ming said dotingly.
“Thank you.” Ye Xiaomeng felt like she was floating on a cloud of honey.
Her heart was bubbling.
Ye Xiaomeng was full after the meal but she felt a little dizzy from the wine.
He Ming knew that this would happen, so he supported her helplessly.
What a sweet burden.
Ye Xiaomeng chuckled.
She was in such a high-end restaurant, listening to music with a handsome man. Even if she didn’t drink, she would be drunk..
