Chapter 1099: He Doesn’t Care About His Reputation?
At this moment, Xiao Jiu said, “Uncle Shi, let someone else send me back. You and Sister Mo will go for a meal together.”
Shi Yan thought for a moment, that it was feasible, then nodded. “I’ll ask Xiao Chen to send you back. You’re not allowed to run around on the road, understand?”
Xiao Jiu acted like he was very obedient and promised, “Uncle Shi, I understand. I have to go home to eat with Mom.”
“Alright then.” Shi Yan asked Xiao Chen to drive Xiao Jiu back.
After Xiao Jiu left, Shi Yan looked at Mo Cheng and said, “Miss Mo, let’s go.”
Mo Cheng said, “Okay.”
When they reached the office building, Shi Yan walked in front and opened the passenger door for Mo Cheng in a gentlemanly manner.
Shi Yan bought the car himself, but he had only driven it a few times.
Mo Cheng felt that Shi Yan was a gentleman and even opened the door for her.
The two of them got into the car one after the other.
Shi Yan fastened his seatbelt and drove away.
It was Mo Cheng’s first time being alone with Shi Yan. In addition to the fact that she had a very good impression of him, her heart was beating rapidly due to excitement.
Shi Yan asked while driving, “Miss Mo, what would you like to eat?”
Mo Cheng did not like the way Shi Yan addressed her, so she suggested, “Mr Shi, you can just call me Mo Cheng.”
It was just a form of address, but Shi Yan did not mind. “Sure, Mo Cheng, where do you want to eat?”
Only then did Mo Cheng say with satisfaction, “Today, I’m treating you to a meal. You can just go to the restaurant you like.”
However, Shi Yan said, “I’m not eating alone, so you’d better tell me what you like so that I can decide which restaurant is more suitable.”
Mo Cheng’s impression of Shi Yan instantly reached 90. This was a very, very high score for the man she knew.
“I realized that you’re very attentive and quite good at taking care of people. If it were anyone else, they would go straight to the restaurant they like.”
This was the first time Shi Yan heard a woman praise him like this. He smiled and said, “This is a courtesy that all gentlemen should have. Ladies first. Moreover, you may not like what I like.”
“Actually, it’s nothing. I’m quite happy to have dinner with you...”
Shi Yan was puzzled. “Huh?” He asked.
Mo Cheng had spoken too hastily just now, so she told him her true thoughts. She explained, “I’m just happy to have the opportunity to ask you for advice. You’ve rejected me several times before.”
When this matter was brought up, Shi Yan still felt apologetic. It was because Lord Fu and Young Madam Fu were not at home. The reason why he stayed in Jiangcheng and did not follow Young Madam Fu to look for Lord Fu was that many things needed him to handle.
“I was too busy previously. I really couldn’t find the time.”
Previously, they had been contacting each other by phone. This time, when Mo Cheng heard him say that he was busy in person, she suddenly felt that he might really be very busy, which was why he did not have the time to come out.
However...
“Do you think being Lord Fu’s special assistant is this busy even during the New Year? No holidays?”
“Of course the special assistant is busy. It’s just that this year’s situation is special and there are no holidays,” Shi Yan answered concisely.
Mo Cheng’s sense of loss from being rejected several times before had completely disappeared. “I see. Then I’m relieved.”
Relieved? Shi Yan gave Mo Cheng a puzzled look and did not ask.
In the end, the two of them decided to go to a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant was Shi Yan’s.
In the restaurant, it was lunchtime, so there were relatively more customers.
Fortunately, Shi Yan booked a table on the way, so there was no need to wait after they went.
The location Shi Yan chose was very good. By the window, one could see the night view.
When the waiters brought the dishes to the table one after another, Mo Cheng looked at the dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good. She realized that Shi Yan’s taste was very good. She picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of hibiscus pork trotter pot, and was ready to put it into her mouth.
Shi Yan reminded her at this moment, “Let it cool down before eating. It’s very hot.”
Mo Cheng’s hands paused, but she had touched her lips. It was indeed very hot, so she subconsciously moved the dish away.
She looked up at Shi Yan, who was opposite her. He smiled slightly, then picked up his chopsticks, picked up the dishes slowly, and put a very small piece into his mouth to eat.
Previously, it was 90 points, so now it was 95 points.
Shi Yan slowly chewed the food in his mouth. When he raised his eyes, he saw Mo Cheng, who was opposite him, holding her chopsticks. The piece of meat was still on the chopsticks. He reminded her, “You can eat now.”
Only then did Mo Cheng React. Her face was slightly red. She put the meat on the chopsticks into her mouth and started eating. She found that the food here tasted very good.
Seeing Mo Cheng’s reaction, Shi Yan curled the corner of his mouth and continued eating.
Mo Cheng ate the food in her mouth. From time to time, she would glance at Shi Yan, who was sitting opposite him. She realized that Shi Yan had always been eating slowly. He was neither too fast nor too slow, and his eating style was very good.
How could such an outstanding person not have a girlfriend?
Shi Yan noticed that Mo Cheng always looked like she wanted to say something but was hesitant. He took the initiative to ask, “Do you have something to say?”
Mo Cheng pursed her lips and thought for a moment before asking, “Mr Shi, Xiao Jiu said that you have never had a girlfriend before. Is that true?”
“There’s nothing to be suspicious about. I have indeed never had a girlfriend before.” Shi Yan could not help but laugh when he heard that. Why did Xiao Jiu say everything? Did he not care about his reputation?
Mo Cheng was still a little in disbelief when she heard it with her ears. “You’re so outstanding. There must be many girls who like you. Why haven’t you had a girlfriend?”
After asking, she felt that it was impolite and quickly changed her words. “I just think that you’re very outstanding. I don’t have any other meaning.”
She smiled awkwardly and immediately lowered her head to continue eating. What kind of questions did she ask just now?
Shi Yan said indifferently, “If I really have to find a reason, I didn’t meet such women and haven’t met a suitable one. In addition, I’m very busy at work.”
What Shi Yan said was the truth. All the female employees in the company were afraid of Shi Yan. Even if someone liked Shi Yan and wanted to chase after him, no one would dare to go up to Shi Yan when he was at work with his seriousness. Therefore, he was an exception.
As for the rest, the number of women that he had contact with was really low. In addition to his special status as a special assistant, he was indeed very busy. He was so busy that he did not have time to think about his problems.
“I see.” Mo Cheng was extremely excited. She had met such a good man. If she didn’t work hard to seize him, she would really let down the opportunity that God had created for her.
Due to his occupational disease, Shi Yan subconsciously thought, “You’re so interested in other people’s love experiences. Are you trying to learn from them?”
Mo Cheng hurriedly shook her head. “No, no, no. I’m just asking.”
Shi Yan curved his lips, “Then you are not going to introduce a girlfriend to me?”
