Chapter 104 - 104 104 Some games she cant afford to play

?Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Some games, she can’t afford to play! Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Some games, she can’t afford to play! Zhu Qianying knew that he was a picky eater, but she didn’t expect him to be this fussy.

In the end, Qin Xiu had no choice but to call his home and order takeout again from his exacting grandfather, and all the snacks specially bought by Zhu Qianying ended up in Qin Xiu’s stomach.

Having witnessed the sheer extent of Qin Xiu’s pickiness when it comes to food, she absolutely refused to express any opinion on where they should go for dinner.

Qin Xiu decided that they would have French cuisine.

What is the essence of French cuisine?

Sophistication!

However, Zhu Qianying usually eats more than other women. The restaurant Qin Xiu recommended was famous for its authenticity.

The taste was undoubtedly excellent, and the servings were small and exquisite.

Having finished the meal, Zhu Qianying felt no sense of satisfaction!

Her bank account, due to this one meal, had decreased by quite a bit.

Of course, Qin Xiu had offered to pay, but Zhu Qianying felt that since he had been bothered by her all afternoon, it wasn’t appropriate for him to bear the cost. Even though she was penniless, she could still afford to treat him to a meal.

More importantly, she didn’t want to owe him a favor!

Zhu Qianying handed her card to the waitress, and Qin Xiu didn’t insist anymore. When the waitress took the card and turned to leave, Qin Xiu looked at her and said, “I’m sort of regretting it now!”

“Hmm?!” Zhu Qianying didn’t quite understand what he was regretting.

“I sort of regret coming here for a meal,” Qin Xiu explained patiently.

Zhu Qianying thought that the Eldest Young Master had finally understood the feelings of ordinary people, spending a large sum of money on a dinner that didn’t sate their hunger.

However, she heard him say, “If I had known, I would have asked you to cook at home. I believe it would have been even more delicious!”

Zhu Qianying cursed in her heart, “Damn!” So it wasn’t because he felt bad about her wallet, but because he thought she hadn’t toiled enough!

She had believed that he had finally understood the hardships of common people, it turned out she was wrong.

“I don’t know how to cook French food, nor do I plan to learn,” she retorted.

Zhu Qianying could cook Chinese style meals and snacks, but her initial motivation to learn wasn’t out of free will.

When she was little, the only safe place she could play was the kitchen.

In the Zhu family, aside from picking on Zhu Qianying and her sister, the other children would look down on her and her sister whenever they saw them. The Zhu family’s home and garden were both huge, but they could run into their arrogant siblings anywhere, hence she and her sister preferred to stay in the kitchen with their mom most of the time.

For a child of that age, use a knife to cut all sorts of fruits and vegetables, or kneading dough into different shapes of lovely small animals can be a fun activity.

Even now, cooking and making snacks were still seen as fun by Zhu Qianying, even though others might see it as a chore.

“I didn’t ask you to cook French food. You could cook anything, and I bet it would taste good,” Qin Xiu said leisurely sitting on the couch, holding the cup in his slender fingers, his dark eyes fixated on her. The peaceful atmosphere made Zhu Qianying a bit uneasy.

“Heh, is that so? You’re overestimating me, Young Master Qin,” she said modestly.

Zhu Qianying was known for her thick skin and would rarely feel uncomfortable in front of people.

Nevertheless, she felt really uncomfortable at that moment, and didn’t even have the courage to meet his gaze.

She didn’t understand what was making her feel this way, neither could she comprehend why Qin Xiu, the unusual-tempered man, was being exceptionally gentle towards her, as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

Qin Xiu raised his eyebrows, “Really? Anyway, I find everything you’ve made so far to be really good!”

Qin Xiu, likewise, didn’t think much about it.

Did he assume that whatever Zhu Qianying cooked would taste nice because everything she had made so far were nice?

Or did he assume that whatever Zhu Qianying cooked would taste nice because he was totally smitten by her?

Zhu Qianying reminded herself that she wasn’t the kind of person who would blush with modesty upon hearing praise.

But at that moment, she felt a burning sensation in her ears, this unfamiliar feeling of embarrassment made her awkward, she wished she was an ostrich that could bury its head in the sand.

“Miss, can I have the password for the card, please?”

The waitress holding the POS machine was Zhu Qianying’s savior.

Zhu Qianying lifted her head and let out an inner sigh of relief, quickly inputting her password into the machine. After signing her name on the transaction paper given by the waitress, her earlier flustered state induced by Qin Xiu’s baffling comments had calmed down.

She put her card back in her purse, and then she heard Qin Xiu’s voice across the table.

“Where do you fancy going next?”

Zhu Qianying only wanted to get as far away as possible from this eccentric Qin Xiu at that moment, “I want to return to the hotel. I’ve been out the whole day and I’m quite tired. If you have other things to do, I can take a taxi back myself.”

Zhu Qianying was self-aware, she knew for a person like Qin Xiu, any game could be played.

Because he had the capital to do so, whether it be his appearance, financial status or IQ, he could easily switch between different games.

But she wasn’t like him!

For example, the cost of today’s French meal meant nothing to Qin Xiu.

But for her, it cost almost half of her assets.

She didn’t even know when she could earn back this half of her assets.

This was only about money, not to mention her feelings!

“Alright then, I’ll drive you back,” the man across the table said, with a tone hinting a sense of disappointment.

Zhu Qianying didn’t want to overthink his emotional changes. She quickly packed up, put on her bag and strode towards the exit.

Qin Xiu followed her, watching her swiftly disappearing out of the door, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

This girl! She really is truly innocent!

She is so easily teased!

The distance from the restaurant door to the car wasn’t far, but leading the way, Zhu Qianying felt as if she had a target on her back. She wished to grow wings and fly away quickly out of his view.

Originally, she was worried about what to do inside the cramped car with Qin Xiu present who had become unusually tender all of a sudden.

However, as soon as she opened the car door, a ringtone sounded from behind her.

“Speak,” Qin Xiu said, getting in the car after Zhu Qianying.

As soon as he got in the car, a massive oppressive aura engulfed her. Zhu Qianying put on her earphones and slowly slid herself towards the side. She rested her head on the window, deliberately increasing the distance between herself and the man.

Luckily, Qin Xiu’s phone call lasted the whole journey, up until Zhu Qianying got out of the car at the entrance of the hotel, he was still talking on the phone with a serious face. Seeing Zhu Qianying getting off the car, he winked at her and waved goodbye.
