Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 62 Reluctant Cohabitation (Part 8)
Ji Chicheng said indifferently, "Her brother suddenly called, said he had an urgent matter to talk to her about, and told her to go back."
Go back? Ji Anning’s eyes widened in surprise. Could there be a mistake?
She had been thinking that during dinner, she would casually find an excuse to slip away, creating some alone time for them.
Now, ironically, an unexpected alone time for her and him had been created!
Could that girl be any more unreliable?
Seeing her standing still, Ji Chicheng frowned, "Not eating?"
He seemed to be running out of patience.
Ji Anning nodded hastily, "Eat... eat..."
If she didn’t eat, he would probably look down on her, calling her stingy.
Anyway, she had already gotten the 500 yuan cash voucher, so even if the meal was expensive, she wouldn’t have to pay much out of pocket.
It’s just that eating alone with him might be... not just a bit, but very torturous.
They went to the Western restaurant Yang Danning had mentioned before; it was just past five, so there weren’t many diners yet.
They found a seat by the window, and as soon as they sat down, a waiter came over with a smile, greeted them politely, and then placed the menu on the table.
Ji Anning, who had never been particularly interested in Western cuisine, opened the first page and directly ordered a signature set meal.
While ordering, she glanced at the price unintentionally, more than two hundred. She breathed a sigh of relief, the cost was within her budget.
Then she pushed the menu towards Ji Chicheng.
Without looking at the menu, Ji Chicheng ordered a set meal exactly like Ji Anning’s.
"Uncle, you can order something else."
Ji Anning thought it over and still felt that she should be polite.
After all, those 500 yuan in meal vouchers were won by him, and based on that, he was technically treating her to this meal.
Ji Chicheng looked at her expressionlessly and said, "I’m afraid you’ll curse me in your heart."
Ji Anning: "..."
Indeed, being pretentious without the right person is just humiliating oneself.
Ji Anning stopped talking; when the food arrived, she buried her head and started eating, cutting the steak into pieces and stuffing them into her mouth without waiting for the previous piece to be swallowed.
Eating too quickly, and it being beef, made it occasionally get stuck in her throat as it went down.
Her eyes were almost teary from choking.
Across from her, Young Master Ji finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He put down his knife and fork and frowned at Ji Anning, "Do you find eating with me that painful?"
Ji Anning was stunned for a moment, then realized what Ji Chicheng meant, and quickly shook her head with a smile to explain, "It’s not like that. I have an understudy role later, and I need to be there by seven, so I have to eat quickly."
As she spoke, she took a sip of water, and fearing that Ji Chicheng might disagree, she added, "It was introduced by Mr. Qi."
"Hmm."
Ji Chicheng responded indifferently and then lowered his eyelids, picked up his knife and fork, and continued eating elegantly.
Until Ji Anning finished her dessert, they didn’t exchange a single word again.
She put down her fork, glanced at the man across from her who was still leisurely cutting his steak, and called out, "Uncle, I’m going to head out first."
