It was already evening when they returned to the guest house.
Tang Zhi parted ways with Sun Yutong after eating in the canteen and walked to the courtyard alone.
After some hesitation, she went forward and gently knocked on the red-painted wooden door in the corner.
“Miss Tang.”
When Yun Hai opened the door and saw Tang Zhi, he was both surprised, but then felt that it made sense. After all, other than Miss Tang, no one knew they were here.
Therefore, his expression was very weird.
Tang Zhi glanced at him. “Is Master Chen inside?”
“Yes, Miss Tang. Please come in.” Yun Hai moved aside quietly.
Tang Zhi didn’t hesitate and walked in.
In the courtyard, He Chen sat on a stone chair under the pavilion with his side facing her.
It was too dark last night, so he didn’t take a closer look. Only now did he realize that this courtyard had been renovated quite well. It was a stark contrast with the humble and crude environment of the town. It looked like a place specially for resting.
Wasn’t this his first time here?
Tang Zhi pushed aside those messy thoughts and retracted her gaze. She walked to He Chen and greeted, “Master Chen.”
He Chen pointed at the stone chair opposite him and said in a deep voice, “Sit.”
Tang Zhi hesitated slightly before sitting down calmly.
“Have you eaten dinner?”
Tang Zhi was silent for two seconds before saying decisively, “Not yet.”
She had actually just had dinner.
“What do you like to eat?”
“Spicy Stewed Fish.”
He Chen looked at Yun Hai. “Heard that?”
Yun Hai said, “I’ll get the kitchen staff to prepare.”
What the heck. Master Chen actually had this side to him?
Tang Zhi looked at the cold and masculine man in front of her and fell into a dilemma.
She couldn’t help but frown.
He Chen glanced at her. “Do you have something to ask?”
“Yes.” Tang Zhi nodded and said hesitantly, “Has Master Chen seen me before?”
Otherwise, wasn’t his attitude a little too friendly?
Tang Zhi never thought that He Chen would be someone easy to get close to. His imposing aura couldn’t fool anyone.
He Chen’s gaze darkened. He leaned forward and flicked the cigarette ash in his hand. “Yes, I have.”
Tang Zhi was surprised, but also felt that this answer was reasonable.
But where had he seen her before? Why didn’t she know?
For some reason, she felt frustrated. It was a pity.
He Chen didn’t intend to tell her. He just smiled.
After a while, Yun Hai returned with a chef carrying a pot of stewed fish.
“Coincidentally, they bought fish today. Otherwise, Miss Tang would have to wait for a long time.”
At this hour, it was not easy to buy fish at the market.
Tang Zhi stared at the large pot of spicy stewed fish in front of her and sat up slightly.
It was very fragrant. She picked up a piece and put it into her mouth. The fish meat was very tender and tasted quite delicious.
“The chef that Master Chen hired isn’t bad.”
“You like it?”
Tang Zhi nodded. “Yes.”
She didn’t just like the chef.
He Chen smiled. “He learned culinary in Li Garden.”
Li Garden. Tang Zhi thought of the restaurant that this name represented and instantly no longer had any doubts.
Rong City’s top private restaurant was not a place that ordinary people could enter.
The chefs there were naturally top-notch.
It seemed like the last time she saw him in Rong City was at the entrance of Li Garden.
“You want to go there?” He Chen picked up a piece of fish and placed it in his bowl.
Tang Zhi nodded decisively. It was even better than the restaurant Qin Jiayin brought her to last time.
“I’ll bring you there next time.”
Next time…
It was still the same magnetic and deep voice, but Tang Zhi found it more pleasant than ever.
She smiled slightly, and the corners of her eyes carried mirth that she could not suppress. She was like a satiated cat, lazy but happy at the same time.
“Okay!”
Tang Zhi answered in a very lighthearted tone..
