Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 377 - 376 "Sweet" Sensation

He glanced at Four Eyes, who was smiling at him with earnest sincerity.

Indeed, to He Qiya, the smile on Four Eyes’ face could only be described as serious.

After all, He Qiya couldn’t fathom why Four Eyes would smile at her so earnestly.

It was understandable to He Qiya that Four Eyes would be happy at this moment.

After all, the information about the girl Four Eyes was looking for was safely tucked in his pocket.

And there was also a backup in Four Eyes’ phone.

With such an important matter resolved, Four Eyes was, of course, very happy.

If Four Eyes acted quickly, perhaps he could see his girl again in the afternoon.

So, He Qiya could understand Four Eyes’ happiness with his smile.

But she couldn’t understand why he was smiling at her so seriously.

She chose not to dwell on things she couldn’t understand, adopting such an attitude toward people or matters that weren’t very important to her.

Of course, the smile Four Eyes had so earnestly practiced for dealing with the ladies around him was completely ineffective in front of He Qiya, the Ice Mountain Beauty.

He Qiya simply ignored what Four Eyes believed to be a very sincere smile.

His face stiffening with his unrequited smiling, He Qiya still didn’t give Four Eyes an answer. novelbuddy.cσ๓

In fairness, it wasn’t entirely He Qiya’s fault.

Subjectively, He Qiya had come only because of Su Mu, and what they ate wasn’t important to her at all.

Objectively, He Qiya had only just returned to the country not long ago.

And with her personality, she had not really taken the opportunity to explore Wanda Plaza.

Before today, the only time He Qiya had been to Wanda Plaza since returning to the country was with Su Mu on her lunar birthday.

Back then, the restaurant He Qiya had picked out from online research was abandoned at the last minute because the atmosphere was too prone to misunderstandings, and she had randomly chosen another one.

Now, Four Eyes asking He Qiya to make the decision really put her in a tough spot.

He Qiya only knew about the Love Theme Restaurant at Wanda Plaza.

Was she supposed to suggest that the three of them go dine at that restaurant?

Not to mention that their relationship wasn’t suitable for that kind of place, the number of people itself was odd, wasn’t it?

A Love Theme Restaurant was naturally for couples to go into.

Two men and a woman entering together, how would that look?

If they were misunderstood, wouldn’t it be impossible to explain the situation?

If only He Qiya and Su Mu were misunderstood, He Qiya would be more than willing.

The problem lay with the addition of Four Eyes, making it impossible for He Qiya to suggest that particular Love Theme Restaurant.

"Let’s just go up first, maybe we’ll be able to decide once we’re there,"

Su Mu saw that Four Eyes kept pressing He Qiya for an answer, and she didn’t seem inclined to give one.

Feeling that standing in the parking lot discussing wasn’t solving anything, Su Mu spoke up.

"That sounds good. Why don’t we discuss it while we walk?"

Four Eyes never had any objections to Su Mu’s suggestions.

Plus, seeing the way He Qiya was acting, Four Eyes knew that this Miss He was not likely to answer his question anytime soon.

Although there were many open spots in the parking lot, there were also quite a few vehicles coming and going.

Four Eyes knew that the three of them standing around were drawing a lot of attention.

Especially since among the three, there were super handsome guy like Su Mu and a beauty like He Qiya.

As a result, regardless of whether the drivers were men or women, they couldn’t help but glance over.

Men looked at the beauty, women looked at the handsome guy; indeed, everyone found something for themselves.

Naturally, Four Eyes, who wasn’t particularly small, was automatically ignored by these drivers.

"Okay."

He Qiya certainly had no objections to Su Mu’s suggestion.

The three of them headed directly towards the elevator area of the parking lot.

Even upon reaching the floor in Wanda Plaza dedicated to dining, Four Eyes still hadn’t gotten any opinions out of He Qiya.

"Su Mu, why don’t you pick a place?"

Having no choice, Four Eyes gave up on continuing to communicate with He Qiya and turned to ask Su Mu.

"I’ll leave it up to you, you decide," Su Mu responded.

Such a trivial matter didn’t need Su Mu’s input; he was happy to be a hands-off manager.

"This, you guys are really throwing the tough question at me," Four Eyes said with some difficulty.

Four Eyes knew Su Mu well and was aware of some of his tastes.

If it were just Four Eyes and Su Mu dining together, Four Eyes wouldn’t need to keep asking what to eat.

He could just make a choice.

The problem was He Qiya was there too.

When it came to this Miss He, whom Four Eyes had only just met today, he truly had no idea about her preferences.

How was Four Eyes supposed to make a decision?

Four Eyes felt like the heavens were playing a joke on him.

He Qiya herself wasn’t willing to speak up, and Su Mu, who seemed to be closer with her, wasn’t giving Four Eyes any hints either.

Four Eyes felt his journey to get along well with female friends was long and challenging.

Had he not even sorted the first step?

Four Eyes’ thoughts were actually quite unfair to Su Mu.

Although Su Mu was indeed more familiar with He Qiya than Four Eyes, he really wasn’t clear on her preferences either.

The only time they had dined alone was at that Western restaurant last time.

Su Mu remembered that at first, He Qiya seemed uninterested.

But after paying the bill, she acted as if she really liked Western food.

To this day, Su Mu wasn’t certain whether He Qiya liked or disliked Western food.

Without understanding He Qiya’s preferences, naturally, Su Mu couldn’t offer Four Eyes any tips.

"Why don’t we go to that restaurant? I saw several young couples going in," Four Eyes suddenly suggested, pointing at a restaurant ahead.

"It looks like it’s quite popular with young people."

It was apparent that Four Eyes probably hadn’t eaten at that restaurant before, so his suggestion carried a hint of speculation.

Looking in the direction Four Eyes was pointing, Su Mu was momentarily stunned.

Could it be that Four Eyes hadn’t grasped the situation?

Was that restaurant suitable for him, Four Eyes, and He Qiya to dine together?

It happened to be the Love Theme Restaurant where Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan had eaten twice.

The three of them at a Love Theme Restaurant?

Su Mu had no intention of becoming an oddity in the eyes of others.

Of course, He Qiya also saw the restaurant Four Eyes was pointing to.

To be honest, she really wanted to dine there with Su Mu.

Even if not as a couple, He Qiya still wanted to experience the love-themed atmosphere with Su Mu.

Unfortunately, with Four Eyes present, she knew her dream couldn’t come true.

At least, not for now.

She had no interest, and He Qiya didn’t even want to take another glance.

"Is there something wrong with that restaurant?"

Seeing Su Mu glance over just once, his lack of enthusiasm was evident.

And He Qiya also looked just once before lowering her head, leaving everyone clueless as to what Miss He’s intentions were.

Although Su Mu and He Qiya hadn’t said anything, Four Eyes still had some understanding of their meaning.

It meant that the restaurant he pointed out didn’t meet their approval.

"Su Mu, have you been to that restaurant before? Is it the taste of the food that’s not good?"

"But I’ve seen several young men and women going in there."

"Though it’s not too crowded, it’s not the peak dining time anyway."

"The foot traffic at the restaurant seems pretty decent."

Four Eyes didn’t know if Su Mu had eaten there and disliked the taste, or what.

Anyway, Four Eyes was somewhat baffled.

A decent number of customers implied that the restaurant was quite popular.

Four Eyes even emphasized that those entering were young men and women, a demographic that matched their own group’s age.

Therefore, Four Eyes really didn’t understand the attitudes of Su Mu and He Qiya.

Because one of Four Eyes’ comments had struck a sensitive nerve for He Qiya.

He Qiya’s face didn’t show it, but she was on edge.

He Qiya was waiting for Su Mu to respond to Four Eyes’ question.

Not about the taste of the food at that restaurant.

But whether Su Mu had ever dined at the Love Theme Restaurant.

If Su Mu had been there, He Qiya didn’t know how she would face this harsh reality.

If Su Mu had been there, it would mean he certainly went with a girl.

And Su Mu’s relationship with that girl must be extraordinary.

If they dined together at the Love Theme Restaurant, even if she wasn’t Su Mu’s girlfriend, she guessed the relationship wasn’t far from it.

He Qiya’s hands clenched secretly.

In her heart, He Qiya told herself that even if she heard the last thing she wanted to hear, she mustn’t show it.

Otherwise, the relationship with Su Mu that she had barely started to improve might be gone for good.

He Qiya was good at hiding her thoughts, and neither Su Mu nor Four Eyes noticed the change in her complexion.

Of course, this was also because Su Mu and Four Eyes didn’t pay close attention to He Qiya.

Otherwise, they might have noticed that her unusually pale complexion was somewhat different from the norm.

"Four Eyes, haven’t you noticed that all those entering the restaurant were in pairs?"

Instead of answering Four Eyes’ question, Su Mu turned the question back on him.

"Yeah, they were all young men and women in pairs, what’s wrong with that?"

Four Eyes felt he had been saying that several couples had been going in to dine, so why was Su Mu asking such an obvious question?

Four Eyes looked innocently at Su Mu and then at He Qiya, who was still looking down.

Without having heard Su Mu’s answer, He Qiya naturally didn’t dare to lift her head.

She was afraid of losing her composure in front of Su Mu and ruining her image.

"Don’t you know that it’s a restaurant with a love theme?"

Su Mu thought he had hinted so clearly that Four Eyes should have caught on by now.

"A love-themed restaurant?"

"No wonder they’re all in pairs; those people are couples."

With Su Mu’s hint, Four Eyes finally came to a realization.

"Su Mu, how did you know that restaurant was love-themed?"

"Did you really go there?"

Four Eyes wondered if Su Mu could actually be that miraculous.

Merely by seeing a few young couples going in, could he determine it was a love-themed restaurant?

Four Eyes found this extremely unscientific.

In Four Eyes’ opinion, Su Mu must have visited that restaurant before.

But Su Mu came with whom, Four Eyes couldn’t determine at the moment.

After all, Su Mu wasn’t like him, still single.

Su Mu had a proper girlfriend, Jiang Xinxuan, and a beautiful woman, Xia Shuya.

Because He Qiya was there, Four Eyes didn’t feel it appropriate to directly ask Su Mu which beauty he had come with and had to ask in an indirect way.

"Haven’t you been to Wanda Plaza recently? There’s an advertisement in the lobby on the first floor."

Su Mu looked at the non-large eyes behind Four Eyes’ glasses, which were rolling with curiosity.

Su Mu knew Four Eyes must be curious about who he had gone to the Love Theme Restaurant with.

Without satisfying Four Eyes’ curiosity, Su Mu gave another answer.

He Qiya, who had been keeping her head down, relaxed her clenched fists upon hearing Su Mu’s words.

Relieved, He Qiya felt as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.

So Su Mu knew only because of the advertisement.

It wasn’t because he had already been to the restaurant for a meal.

He Qiya felt that this should indirectly suggest that Su Mu didn’t have a girlfriend yet.

Or maybe he didn’t yet have a female friend close enough to go to the Love Theme Restaurant with.

For He Qiya, this was, of course, terrific news.

He Qiya, having regained some color in her face, finally lifted her head that had been down all the time.

"I really haven’t been to Wanda Plaza for a long time."

Without a girlfriend, how could Four Eyes often come to a shopping mall?

But Four Eyes felt that Su Mu hadn’t told the whole story.

Su Mu had already seen the advertisement for the Love Theme Restaurant.

Wouldn’t he take Jiang Xinxuan to experience it together?

Leaving aside Xia Shuya, Jiang Xinxuan was publicly Su Mu’s girlfriend.

Owing to He Qiya’s presence, who Four Eyes didn’t know very well, he refrained from asking Su Mu whether he had taken Jiang Xinxuan to feel the atmosphere of the Love Theme Restaurant.

Four Eyes’ remark effectively put an end to the topic regarding the Love Theme Restaurant.

After all, no matter what, it was unlikely the three of them would go to that restaurant today.

The relationship wasn’t right, the number of people wasn’t right, in short, nothing was right.

"Let’s choose a different one then, how about the Western restaurant next to that one?"

Western food?

Upon hearing these two words, He Qiya instinctively felt repelled.

But the Western restaurant Four Eyes mentioned was the one next to the Love Theme Restaurant, the same one where He Qiya had dined with Su Mu on her birthday, wasn’t it?

Remembering her "sweet" experience at that Western restaurant with Su Mu, He Qiya no longer felt averse.

Of course, this "sweet" was merely He Qiya’s own feeling.

For Su Mu, it was just a meal with He Qiya, nothing special.

Su Mu had no objections to Four Eyes’ suggestion, as long as it wasn’t a special restaurant, he was fine with either Chinese or Western cuisine.

He Qiya also nodded, indicating acceptance of Four Eyes’ suggestion.

Once they had unanimous agreement, they naturally headed straight for the Western restaurant.
