Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
Chapter 705: You Really Do Have a Way to Thank Me
"The documents you’re handling, as long as my family speaks a word, we can get them for you right away."
Liu Sixu was quite confident. Although his family wasn’t as influential as Zhao Gushen, dealing with Ye Ning was no problem for him.
Now Ye Ning was truly surprised.
What’s gotten into Liu Sixu?
Why is he being so nice out of nowhere?
Could it be that Liu Sixu actually plans to seriously develop something with her?
With this thought popping up, Ye Ning started calculating in her heart.
She lowered her head slightly, revealing her best angle.
This angle was one she found from looking in the mirror or taking selfies, her most flattering angle.
Then she raised her hand and brushed the long hair behind her ear.
Only then did she give Liu Sixu a smile that was both uncertain and a bit shy, a smile that always worked. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Especially when doing business, it easily lowered the other party’s guard and sparked some tenderness towards her.
Liu Sixu, having seen countless women, could tell what Ye Ning was thinking from her reaction.
A mocking curve appeared on his lips, but he didn’t clarify to dispel Ye Ning’s misunderstanding.
"Let me thank Mr. Liu here then. If I can have your help, my work in B City will definitely be twice as effective and unexpectedly smooth," Ye Ning said softly.
"No need to be so polite with me. In Ye City, I received quite a bit of your care," Liu Sixu said. "I’m not the type to forget favors and walk away just after benefiting."
Ye Ning thought to herself that it was Ding Ruoyi who took care of him in Ye City; she herself didn’t put in much effort.
Of course, she often invited Liu Sixu, Ding Ruoyi, and others to dine at her restaurant and occasionally prepared some gifts for them.
This was because she wanted to leverage Ding Ruoyi and Liu Sixu’s influence for her development, a mutually beneficial relationship.
But compared to Ding Ruoyi, Ye Ning’s expenses were really minimal.
She wasn’t clear if there was any interest entanglement between Ding Ruoyi and Liu Sixu, but all of Liu Sixu’s expenses in Ye City were covered by Ding Ruoyi.
Therefore, Ye Ning didn’t believe Liu Sixu’s talk of reciprocity.
How could Liu Sixu be so conscientious and courteous?
If that were true, he would’ve already visited B City and offered help out of goodwill.
Thus Ye Ning was more convinced that this was because Liu Sixu had feelings for her.
"What I did in Ye City was nothing. Now that Mr. Liu is willing to help, I really have to thank you," Ye Ning said with a smile.
"If you have any requests, feel free to ask," Liu Sixu said, as if he intended to find out from Ye Ning what she needed help with today.
Ye Ning, hearing this, wasn’t hesitant to say, "Actually, the main thing is those documents. I hope they can be handled quickly. Also, I’m dealing with finding design and decoration companies. If they could be negotiated at a discounted price, that would be great."
Ye Ning naturally hoped to save as much cost as possible.
"Of course, the most crucial thing is the chef issue. Finding a chef who is both skilled and reputable is actually quite challenging. Although B City has abundant talent, the competition is fierce, with countless restaurants large and small. There are many restaurants, but truly excellent chefs are not that many. For a restaurant to last long, besides good service, it’s the delicious dishes."
"I’m new here and unsure of where to contact. If Mr. Liu has connections and can introduce some reliable chefs, that would be ideal."
"That’s no problem," Liu Sixu agreed readily. "My family business doesn’t deal in the food industry, but we do have many connections and pathways in B City. These matters are not problematic for me."
Ye Ning thought about it: Liu Sixu suddenly being so agreeable must come with a request.
Whether he wants to date her officially or simply just wants to sleep with her.
But in any case, Liu Sixu isn’t one to help people for no reason.
Even though she hasn’t known Liu Sixu for long, Ye Ning understands this point very well.
Therefore, with a hint of hesitation in her tone, Ye Ning asked, "Mr. Liu, with you helping me this much, I really don’t know how to thank you."
As she spoke, Ye Ning even reached her hand towards Liu Sixu, her soft and smooth fingertip lightly touching the back of his hand.
She lightly slid it back and forth like a feather on his hand’s back.
Then she gently placed most of her hand over Liu Sixu’s hand.
Ye Ning’s fingertips and palm were warm and smooth.
The soft palm covering the back of Liu Sixu’s hand felt both delicate and tantalizing.
But at this moment, Liu Sixu wasn’t in the mood for playful banter with her to see who was more skilled.
Instead, Liu Sixu just turned his hand to hold Ye Ning’s.
No other reason, just to prevent Ye Ning from using other tricks to seduce him.
And since Ye Ning came onto him, there’s no harm in taking advantage.
Just holding hands is nothing, especially since Liu Pingyuan and Mrs. Liu, seated in the back, couldn’t see what they were doing.
On the contrary, Ye Ning was pleasantly surprised. Wasn’t Liu Sixu’s reaction indicating that he was interested in her?
Previously, although there was mutual flirtation, at most, Ye Ning would occasionally wink at Liu Sixu, and he would brush against Ye Ning’s shoulder or hold her waist.
But it was always just a brief touch and then release.
Flirtation is about being neither close nor distant, seemingly there yet not.
Touching briefly leaves one itching for more.
There had never been a moment like this when Liu Sixu firmly held her hand without letting go.
Wasn’t this a clear indication of his intent?
With this cheerful thought, even the smile on Ye Ning’s face carried a somewhat deliberately charming look.
Though Liu Sixu couldn’t compare with Zhao Gushen, Liu Sixu was the best she had encountered since arriving in B City.
Even if she wanted to switch to someone better, it would have to wait for future opportunities.
At present, Ye Ning still intended to capture Liu Sixu first.
Even though Liu Sixu’s embarrassing moment at the evening event remained vividly in her mind, Ye Ning felt it was something she would never forget in her lifetime.
At least now, Liu Sixu’s image in her heart wasn’t as unattainably high.
Because of what happened at the event, Liu Sixu had become somewhat mundane in Ye Ning’s mind since then.
Ye Ning herself hadn’t even noticed how her attitude towards Liu Sixu had become less fawning.
Ye Ning’s words clearly hinted that although she didn’t know how to thank Liu Sixu, she could offer herself.
But who knew, Liu Sixu instead threw a flirtatious smile at Ye Ning while saying, "Actually, there really is a way for you to thank me."
