Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 624 - 617: I Would Die for This

The place Wu Chengzu chose is quite interesting; it’s a little street-side eatery. Bai Yiran took a careful look and realized it was the spot where Wu Chengzu first invited her for a meal. It was summer back then, so the restaurant had set up street-side stalls outside. The weather wasn’t quite warm enough now, so they sat inside the eatery.

Wu Chengzu, based on memory, ordered exactly what Bai Yiran had ordered the first time. Of course, Bai Yiran didn’t notice this detail; she couldn’t even remember what she ordered so long ago.

From the moment Bai Yiran entered, Wu Chengzu’s gaze didn’t leave her. Until Bai Yiran was seated, she could feel Wu Chengzu’s intense gaze on her.

Bai Yiran slightly avoided his gaze, "Mr. Wu, why did you suddenly decide to invite me to dinner today?"

Wu Chengzu frowned; he really didn’t like Bai Yiran calling him Mr. Wu, but he began speaking anyway, "All this time, you’ve always taken good care of Jingjing. I’ve never properly expressed gratitude to you, so I wanted to invite you to dinner today."

Bai Yiran laughed, "So, you’re expressing your gratitude to me here?"

Wu Chengzu’s eyes deepened, "I thought you liked the food here; otherwise, we could also change the place."

Bai Yiran quickly waved her hand, "I’m just kidding. I’m always open to delicious food."

Bai Yiran skillfully eased the subtle awkwardness between them. A deeper smile appeared on Wu Chengzu’s face as he said, "I have some matters to handle recently, so I’d like to ask you to take extra care of Jingjing."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yiran’s entire being focused intensely; her eyes fixed on Wu Chengzu as she smiled apologetically, "I’m afraid... you know, I now have two children at home, so I might not be able to constantly look after Jingjing."

Wu Chengzu nodded, "I understand, I’ve hired someone specifically to take care of her. But that child likes you; I just hope during this time, you can call her and chat with her when you’re free. She listens to you."

Bai Yiran deliberately showed a hint of reluctance on her face but ultimately agreed.

Wu Chengzu reached out, picked up a freshly grilled skewer, and handed it in front of Bai Yiran, "Here, eat it while it’s hot."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu," Bai Yiran reached out to accept it. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Not again with Mr. Wu! Wu Chengzu felt tormented by being called Mr. Wu and dropped the skewer to grab Bai Yiran’s hand extended in mid-air.

"What are you doing, Mr. Wu!" Bai Yiran exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Yiran had a listening device on her. Leng Yichen and Gao Sheng could hear the conversation inside and, with binoculars, they could see Wu Chengzu grabbing Bai Yiran’s hand!

Leng Yichen could no longer stay calm and prepared to open the car door to barge in, but Gao Sheng forcibly stopped him and locked the car door.

"Open the door!" Leng Yichen’s voice was cold and his eyes stared fiercely at Gao Sheng. He began to regret agreeing to Gao Sheng’s plan to let Bai Yiran come!

Gao Sheng, calmly holding the binoculars, said, "It’s just holding hands; what’s the big deal? At this point, do you want to waste all our efforts? Tell Wu Chengzu you’re right outside, watching and listening to everything inside?"

Leng Yichen gritted his teeth and kicked the car door, "Gao Sheng! I guarantee that you’ll never be reinstated in this life!"

Gao Sheng nodded, "Doesn’t matter, as long as we catch Wu Chengzu, I’m willing to die!"
