The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 963 - 932: How Could I Mind?

After chatting with his parents, Tang Qian returned to his room, took out a photo of Qi Zhengmin, and looked at it secretly by himself.

This was something he had never done before.

Qi Zhengmin was truly beautiful!

And so kind and elegant!

It was a photo taken by an employee during an event; he was standing next to Qi Zhengmin, one handsome and dashing, the other beautiful as a flower.

No matter how you looked at it, they were a match made in heaven!

He placed the photo of Qi Zhengmin and "him" on the table before going to sleep.

In his dreams, he dreamed of Qi Zhengmin; they traveled together, tasted delicious food...

The next day, Tang Qian was in a very good mood all day, somewhat eager for the evening to come so they could go out to dinner together.

Tang Qian drove to pick up Qi Zhengmin.

Because it was a date, Qi Zhengmin had dressed up carefully, looking even more stunning, which made Tang Qian stare in awe.

In person, she was more beautiful than he had imagined, or than in the photos.

"Shall we go?" Tang Qian, recovering his senses, asked softly, his face wearing a gentle smile.

Qi Zhengmin got into the car and said, "Yes, I heard you’re taking me to a delicious dinner, I can hardly wait."

"It’s a private kitchen, serving only a few tables," Tang Qian said with a smile. "But the taste is really very good; you will definitely like it."

"Is it Tan Family Cuisine?" Qi Zhengmin asked, recalling that he had once taken her and her brother there.

"Not this time, it’s Song’s Cuisine," Tang Qian replied. "I guarantee you won’t find these dishes anywhere else."

"Great!" Qi Zhengmin said with a smile, her big eyes narrowing into crescents, "Drive safely!"

"Oh!" Tang Qian, somewhat mesmerized, quickly refocused his attention.

Tang Qian felt a skip in his heart, much like he was seventeen or eighteen again, a young boy seeing a beautiful girl for the first time, his heart racing.

He was absolutely certain of his feelings; he had really fallen in love with this girl.

As they drove, they talked about some business matters and, before they knew it, arrived at the place for Song’s Cuisine.

As soon as they entered, they heard a familiar voice behind them.

"Zhengmin?" He Tiantian was startled, out on a rare date with Huo Yingjie, and they had unexpectedly run into Qi Zhengmin and Tang Qian.

Seeing Tang Qian’s expression like a weasel giving greetings to a chicken during the New Year, she knew exactly what he was up to.

"Sister Tiantian, are you two here to dine as well?" Qi Zhengmin asked. "Tang Qian said the food here is delicious, and I’m really looking forward to it."

"It’s our first time here too, but we came because of its reputation; it should be delicious," He Tiantian said, wanting to invite them to join, but remembering Qi Zhengmin’s words from the day before, she didn’t want to interfere too much with Qi Zhengmin’s emotions.

"That’s great, Sister Tiantian, should we combine tables?" Qi Zhengmin asked. "If we can, maybe we can order a few more dishes?"

He Tiantian glanced at Tang Qian and said, "President Tang, don’t you mind?"

"Not at all! How could I mind!" Tang Qian said with a smile, he couldn’t curry favor fast enough. "Yingjie, let’s go in and try some of their homemade wine."

Huo Yingjie felt downhearted; it had been a long time since the couple had a date out, and just when he had finally coaxed her out, two light bulbs spoiled it.

If he had known they would encounter familiar faces, they wouldn’t have come here to eat.

But now that they had said so, Huo Yingjie could not refuse.

The four of them spoke to the host and switched to a private room for four.

He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin ordered some dishes, then let Huo Yingjie and Tang Qian order some as well.

This time they ordered a lot of dishes, enough to satisfy their cravings.

During the meal, Tang Qian adjusted his attitude, neither humble nor arrogant, as he hosted them.

This meal was his treat—ah, in his pursuit of Qi Zhengmin, he had to pamper He Tiantian!

After all, the only relative Qi Zhengmin had in Yanjing was He Tiantian.

Moreover, He Tiantian knew about his past, and aside from business collaborations, she didn’t really admire him.

On this point, Tang Qian was self-aware.

However, nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it; he would try his best.

After the rounds of drinks and the variety of dishes, Tang Qian took the opportunity to go to the restroom to pay the bill.

"How is the taste?" He Tiantian asked. "Do you like it?"

As Qi Zhengmin ate, he nodded, swallowing the food in his mouth, and exclaimed, "My goodness, this food is so delicious! I can only come here once a month or else I’d definitely become a big fatty."

"Hehe, exercise more and you can eat more," He Tiantian laughed, having also gained quite a bit of weight, but she had no resistance when it came to delicious food.

You need energy to lose weight after being full!

"Thinking about the food I had abroad, my goodness, it just can’t compare," Qi Zhengmin said sentimentally, "I’m somewhat reluctant to leave Huaxia Country! There’s so much delicious food!"

Tang Qian came back inside and laughed, "If you’re reluctant to leave, then don’t leave."

That remark had a clearly implied meaning!

"For the sake of these delicious dishes, I won’t leave either," Qi Zhengmin laughed, "You guys eat too, it’s a bit embarrassing to be the only one eating so much!"

He Tiantian served Huo Yingjie more dishes, encouraging him to eat more.

"Zhengmin, are you going back to Qijia Village for the New Year?" He Tiantian asked.

"Yes, grandma is there, so my brother and I will naturally go back," Qi Zhengmin laughed, "Sister Tiantian, do you need something?"

"No, I was just asking," He Tiantian laughed. "I just made a pair of cloth shoes for grandma the other day, and I’m going to send them over. Do you have anything you want to send? We could send them together."

"Sure!" Qi Zhengmin said. "I’ve also prepared some items and was planning to post them tomorrow morning before catching the train back to Nan City in the afternoon."

"Let’s meet tomorrow and mail the items together," He Tiantian smiled, keeping Qi Zhengmin engaged in conversation, preventing Tang Qian and Qi Zhengmin from talking.

Tang Qian also knew that with Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian around, those words he wanted to say in his heart to Qi Zhengmin were impossible to express.

So, he just kept drinking with Huo Yingjie.

In the end, Tang Qian aimed to get Huo Yingjie drunk, but unexpectedly he himself drank a bit too much, his face slightly red.

After the meal, He Tiantian went to pay the bill, only to find that Tang Qian had already paid.

He Tiantian smiled, knowing Tang Qian would pay the bill.

In pursuit of Qi Zhengmin, he was indeed investing a lot.

But Qi Zhengmin was like a golden baby; embracing him would bring wealth that multiplies, a win-win in both money and people.

Tang Qian had drunk, so Huo Yingjie had Xie Wu drive Tang Qian home.

He Tiantian drove Qi Zhengmin back to the hotel, then returned home.

Little did they know, Tang Qian, who had been drinking, told Xie Wu, "Xie Wu, let’s go to your leader’s house, I have something to discuss with Huo Yingjie."

Xie Wu was somewhat surprised, but since Tang Qian requested it, he turned the car around and headed home.

When Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian got home, they saw Tang Qian chatting and laughing with Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin, as if Tang Qian was telling a story about Journey to the West.

The couple was surprised. Hadn’t Xie Wu been supposed to take Tang Qian home?
