It wasn't too expensive.
But it looked good.
The performance was also good.
Liu Ning gave Zhan Xiaojun a thumbs-up, "Miss Zhan has good taste!"
Zhan Xiaojun smiled, "Which floor is your President Ning on?"
"The third floor, a private room, absolutely quiet. This hot pot restaurant is also an industry of Ning's Group. Eat whatever you like," Liu Ning said as he led the way.
The entire building was this hot pot restaurant.
It had a total of three floors.
As soon as they entered, a rich aroma of hot pot wafted towards them.
Zhan Xiaojun wasn't hungry originally, but the delicious smell made her instantly hungry.
After going upstairs and sitting opposite Ning Yecheng, she remembered something, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, you can't eat spicy food."
Ning Yecheng's thin lips curved, "Worried about me that much?"
"I've been paid," Zhan Xiaojun dodged his teasing gaze.
Ning Yecheng's eyes deepened, and he smiled, "I'll have clear broth."
Zhan Xiaojun nodded, "Clear broth is fine."
In no time, the waitress brought up the pot base and ingredients.
The dishes filled the entire table.
It must be all the dishes the restaurant had.
Zhan Xiaojun's eyes sparkled.
When she was with her family, they also loved hot pot, and she, like her mother, could eat a lot of spicy food.
Fortunately, there were two pots, one for him and one for her.
Her side was full of tempting red, while Ning Yecheng's was completely clear.
"When your injuries are completely healed, if I'm still in Yan City, I'll treat you again," Zhan Xiaojun felt a little embarrassed.
Eating clear broth hot pot was no different from not eating hot pot at all.
Ning Yecheng caught the remark about her still being in Yan City, and his eyes darkened, "Leaving Yan City?"
"Not sure yet, I might leave then," Zhan Xiaojun's eyes were fixed on the dishes in front of her, and she put her favorites into the pot.
She had been eager to leave before, but under Ning Yecheng's gaze, she even hesitated.
Was she really going to leave?
She actually didn't know when she could go back.
But lately, she had a strange feeling.
It felt like she was going home.
A feeling from the depths of her being.
Last night, she seemed to have heard her parents talking, saying she would wake up soon.
So…
She felt that the way they were getting along like friends now was quite good.
Ning Yecheng looked at her thoughtfully.
Suddenly.
A woman with a great figure appeared at the open door.
She first looked at Ning Yecheng, a flash of greed in her eyes, then looked at Zhan Xiaojun with surprise, "Zhan Xiaojun, is that really you? I thought I was mistaken just now."
Zhan Xiaojun turned to look.
Seeing Liu Xiyuan at the door, she raised an eyebrow.
"It's you."
Seeing Zhan Xiaojun's cold and distant attitude, Liu Xiyuan's smile froze for a moment, but it quickly recovered, and she once again wore a knowing and decent smile.
"It's me, we met a couple of days ago, didn't we? Although I lost the competition, it doesn't stop us from being friends," Liu Xiyuan said, while observing Ning Yecheng from the corner of her eye.
While she was talking to Zhan Xiaojun, Ning Yecheng glanced at her.
This glance was enough to make her incredibly excited.
They had met before, but there were always so many people around, he would never notice her.
She had boasted to her grandmother that she would find a way to make Ning Yecheng like her.
Finally, she found an opportunity.
She knew this hot pot restaurant was part of Ning's Group, so she decided to try her luck today.
As it turned out, her luck was too good.
As soon as she came up, she saw Zhan Xiaojun, and then looking inside, she saw Ning Yecheng.
Now she was even more displeased with Zhan Xiaojun, being able to have dinner alone with Ning Yecheng.
"We did meet a couple of days ago," Zhan Xiaojun's tone was indifferent.
They had indeed met a couple of days ago.
But they were not friends.
She looked down on someone who dared to make a bet with others but didn't dare to honor it.
"A friend invited me here, but she suddenly had to leave, can I join you?" Liu Xiyuan's voice was gentle and her smile was sweet.
She looked like a very good friend of Zhan Xiaojun's.
Others, out of politeness, wouldn't refuse.
Ning Yecheng narrowed his eyes, his expression suddenly turning cold.
Liu Xiyuan suddenly felt an invisible pressure piercing her to the core, and she bit her lip.
She knew Ning Yecheng was looking at her.
Wouldn't he be unhappy if she stayed?
Her makeup today was exquisite, even more dazzling than usual. When she entered the hot pot restaurant, she had already attracted many people's attention.
However, she also knew that compared to Zhan Xiaojun, she was indeed inferior in appearance.
But Zhan Xiaojun wasn't wearing any makeup today, so she lacked some of her usual allure compared to Liu Xiyuan.
She was very aware of her figure advantage.
"Xiaojun?" Liu Xiyuan's tone became a little more sweet and coquettish.
With such a beauty before him, she didn't believe Ning Yecheng wouldn't feel pity for her.
A girl abandoned by her friend, alone in a hot pot restaurant, looked a bit pathetic, didn't she?
Zhan Xiaojun put a piece of tender, spicy beef into her mouth.
After chewing slowly, she looked at Liu Xiyuan.
"Why are you still here?" she asked.
The charming and pitiful look on Liu Xiyuan's face seemed to freeze, "Didn't you hear me just now?"
Did her words mean nothing?
"Get out," Ning Yecheng said with a cold shout.
His voice was icy and merciless.
Liu Xiyuan was shocked.
Liu Xiyuan's exquisitely crafted eyes widened, like a frightened little rabbit, "Mr. Ning…"
He told her to get out?
Here was such a delicate and radiant beauty, showing him half her chest, and he showed no pity or tenderness?
She had been studying for the past two days. She was four years older than Zhan Xiaojun, so she couldn't pretend to be a pure student. But he probably didn't like pure looks either, right? At least Zhan Xiaojun looked both seductive and charming, and indeed had some pure and alluring style, but she had also managed to exude this kind of temperament.
Why was he still unmoved?
Now she looked hesitant, her eyes slightly red, tears shimmering, wouldn't any man feel pity?
Zhan Xiaojun saw through Liu Xiyuan's intentions.
She was using the opportunity of talking to her to seduce Ning Yecheng.
She had been used as a tool.
"Please, miss, do not disturb the guests' meal."
The store manager, who was delivering wine, saw the scene before him. He didn't expect anyone to be so bold as to disturb President Ning's meal.
Overtly seductive.
Liu Xiyuan's face instantly turned red, "I, I…"
"Please…"
Liu Xiyuan stamped her foot and ran away crying.
Zhan Xiaojun acted as if she hadn't seen this scene.
When she and her three brothers roamed the martial world, women often used various excuses to seduce her brothers, and she was used to it.
However, this time it made her feel a little different.
"President Ning, this is the new wine delivered by the winery today. Please, President Ning and Miss, have a taste," the store manager brought over the decanted wine.
The moment Zhan Xiaojun saw the wine, her eyes lit up. She hadn't drunk alcohol in a long time!
She often drank with Aunt Yi Qing and had a good tolerance for alcohol.
"Want to drink?" Ning Yecheng asked her.
Zhan Xiaojun nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
How readily Zhan Xiaojun agreed now would be the source of her deep regret later.
