Chapter 2498 - 2499: Isn’t It a Bit Late to Change Your Mind Now?
Gu Mian blinked, somewhat surprised. She fully expected Nangong Yue to say she was being ridiculous. After all, ordering one of everything was really unrealistic. Not to mention whether they could finish it, it would probably take all night to prepare everything.
So, is Professor Nangong acting like a domineering CEO?
"Alright, alright, I was just joking." Gu Mian stuck out her tongue, not really planning to ’waste money and resources’ like that!
"Oh?" Nangong Yue raised an eyebrow, unable to resist teasing her, "Mrs. Nangong, words like spilled water can’t be taken back. The kitchen has already started preparing, so it’s not really good to go back on it now, right?"
"What’s wrong with that? It’s not like it’s all done yet. Just say we don’t want it, and that’s that." Gu Mian didn’t mind. In a restaurant, it’s perfectly normal to cancel orders that haven’t been served and the kitchen hasn’t started making yet!
"Are you sure?" Nangong Yue looked at her seriously.
"I’m sure." Gu Mian nodded. She was merely joking around with Nangong Yue, trying to provoke him a little, not really intending to waste like that. Besides, if they waited for all those dishes to be served, she might have to take a nap here.
"Alright then." Nangong Yue pressed the service bell beside him to call in the receptionist.
The receptionist entered the room and bowed respectfully, "Mr. Nangong, what can I do for you?"
Nangong Yue spoke calmly, "It was just a joke from Miss Gu. We can’t eat that much food, just have the kitchen make a few specialty dishes for the two of us."
"Yes." The receptionist finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you like eating fruit?" Nangong Yue asked Gu Mian.
Gu Mian quickly nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, I love it!"
She’s the type who can live on just eating fruit.
Nangong Yue’s elegant smile appeared as he glanced at her through his glasses, "No wonder you’re so slender."
He then turned to the receptionist, "Have the kitchen make a mixed fruit platter, a really large one."
"Yes." The receptionist agreed, then respectfully exited the room.
"I’m going to the restroom." Gu Mian stood up and said.
"Okay." Nangong Yue nodded.
Gu Mian was familiar with the place and found the restroom without needing the receptionist’s guidance. After using the toilet, she came out to wash her hands and tidy her hair and clothes at the sink.
Looking at herself in the mirror seemed a bit unfamiliar. She couldn’t help but touch her face and pinch herself. It all felt a bit unreal, like a dream.
Just a moment ago, her thoughts were still at the moment she got off the plane, and now suddenly she’s with Nangong Yue getting certificates and having a meal together!!
Just as she was about to turn and leave, a man walked out of the men’s restroom and suddenly called out to her, "Is it Miss Gu Mian?"
Gu Mian looked over in response. The man’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly approached, "It really is you."
"Mayor Wang?" Gu Mian raised an eyebrow, then showed a suitable and polite smile, "I didn’t expect to meet you here."
"No need to be so formal." Mayor Wang also smiled and said in a familiar manner, "We were classmates, after all."
Mayor Wang, whose name is Wan Chenyu, was indeed her university classmate, and he had just been promoted to mayor of the capital.
To be honest, the two of them hadn’t seen each other since the last time they met with Di Mingzhe.
Gu Mian smiled and said, "Yes, are you here for a meal too?"
