The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 464 - 267
Chapter 464: Chapter 267
Two minutes later, Wenyan got on the elevator with oversized sunglasses and pressed the button for the 99th floor.
Two minutes later, a ding sounded as the elevator door opened.
Wenyan naturally prepared to step out.
But upon the door opening, the first thing that caught her eye was a large bouquet of fiery red roses.
Seeing the bouquet, Wenyan immediately felt uneasy.
What’s going on? All she wanted was a nice meal. There was no other implication when she made dinner plans with Ji Yuanzhou, so why send such a big bouquet of flowers now?
What does it mean?
Suddenly, Wenyan lost interest in the meal.
Just as she was thinking this, the person holding the flowers suddenly spoke.
"Excuse me, were you planning to get off? Please go ahead."
The man peered out from behind the huge bouquet, and Wenyan realized that he was not Ji Yuanzhou, but a total stranger.
She immediately checked the elevator and discovered that it was not the 99th floor, but the 89th!
This was rather embarrassing, having mistaken the floor.
However, Wenyan felt relieved that she hadn’t said anything embarrassing.
The man with the flowers quickly exited, and Wenyan finally took the elevator up to the 99th floor alone.
When the elevator doors opened, there was no one waiting outside. Ji Yuanzhou was sitting on a leather sofa about three meters away, looking at his phone.
Seeing Wenyan step out of the elevator, he then got up to welcome her.
Seeing his unhurried and casual demeanor, Wenyan couldn’t help but mock herself inwardly.
What was she thinking just now? It seemed a bit self-centered.
But this was more to her liking and made her feel more at ease.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just got here myself. This is your first time here, right? Let me show you the way."
Wenyan nodded, "Thank you, it seems you’re very familiar with this place."
"Not particularly, but I’ve dined here a few times indeed."
Yuanzhou led Wenyan and they were quickly seated with the guidance of a waiter.
The kind waiter also took the time to introduce Wenyan to the view from their spot.
It was then that Wenyan learned she was seated in a spot reserved for VVIPs.
She certainly knew that Yuanzhou came from a prominent background, but she was still a bit curious.
"Just how close are you with this acquaintance of yours? To get such a hard-to-book spot on a whim?"
Yuanzhou chuckled, "Well, let’s just say it’s the kind of closeness you have when you’ve known someone from birth."
Wenyan made an ’oh’ sound, "Childhood friends, or maybe brothers who grew up wearing the same pants?"
Yuanzhou shook his head, "Neither."
"Then what kind of relationship is it, knowing someone from birth? It can’t be—" Wenyan said, pausing and widening her eyes with a suggestive look.
Yuanzhou found her expression particularly lively and adorable, gesturing for her to continue, "Go on." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Wenyan guessed the answer, "Your dad? Am I right?"
"Correct," Yuanzhou said with a chuckle and a nod, "It’s my dad. He owns this hotel, so I don’t need a reservation to sit here. What do you think? Isn’t the view of the whole B City from here quite nice?"
"Yes, it’s all within sight."
"Actually, it’s even better at night, but it’s a pity you have work arrangements in the evening. Otherwise, you could enjoy the night view of B City."
Wenyan smiled, "To tell you the truth, my primary goal for coming up here was for a delicious meal; viewing the scenery was secondary. But if I have the chance, I will come to see the night view here. That’s assuming the food here suits my palate."
"It seems you really are a foodie."
"Not exactly a foodie, since this is a restaurant after all, so food takes priority."
"I hope you won’t be disappointed. Have a look at the menu first."
While speaking, Yuanzhou passed a menu to Wenyan.
It had to be said, deserving of a restaurant with an average consumption in the five-figure range, even the menu was made of genuine leather.
Wenyan flipped through it and seemed to have decided what she wanted to eat.
But she still asked, "Mr. Ji, is there any signature dish that you’d recommend?"
With a smile, Yuanzhou looked at Wenyan and said, "Calling me Mr. Ji feels too formal. I am the same age as your elder brother; if you don’t mind, you can call me Brother Yuanzhou, or directly by my name. But calling me ’brother’ won’t be losing for you—next time you stay at a hotel from Jun Group, I’ll waive your fee."
"That sounds great, but I don’t need it to be free, just give me a discount, Brother Yuanzhou."
Without any coyness, Wenyan straightforwardly called Yuanzhou ’brother’.
Yuanzhou chuckled softly, "Sure, I will definitely look after Ji Family’s business. I’ll recommend a couple of signature dishes for you."
