Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 780: Can Getting Drunk to Drown Sorrows Be Used Like This?

Another suffocating question.

Mr. Leng suspected that Zhang Lingying might have come to claim his life today.

He didn’t answer the question, nor did he give her the chance to elaborate. He asked her if she had driven over. Once he was sure she hadn’t, he took her with him in his car.

Before closing the car door, he caught a glimpse of her sitting stiffly, not moving or buckling her seatbelt. He hesitated for a moment, then reached over and fastened it for her.

Mr. Leng hadn’t been back in the country for long, but as he lived here, he was fairly familiar with the area.

He would occasionally dine out at the nearby restaurants, and due to his outstanding appearance and very unique aura, the waitstaff all remembered him, particularly the female waitresses who were exceedingly enthusiastic toward him.

As soon as he entered the restaurant with Zhang Lingying, someone greeted him and asked if he wanted the usual arrangement.

The next second, when the waitress saw Zhang Lingying standing next to him, the smile on her face stiffened a bit.

"Mr. Leng, is this your girlfriend?"

"..." Mr. Leng was not accustomed to explaining his personal life to others and frowned slightly.

Before he could say anything, Zhang Lingying already chimed in with a smile: "We’re not boyfriend and girlfriend yet. I’m the one pursuing him, but he has not agreed yet!"

Waitress: "..."

The waitress was probably not used to such a straightforward girl and was momentarily dumbfounded.

Mr. Leng also raised an eyebrow, looking back at her with a touch of surprise.

Zhang Lingying didn’t seem to think she had said anything out of the ordinary and blinked, "I’m getting a bit hungry. Can we go in and eat now?"

Mr. Leng had intended to take her out for a meal in the first place. Hearing her words, he nodded and led her through the foyer to a table by the window with a wide view and a tranquil ambiance.

As soon as they sat down, Zhang Lingying grabbed the menu from the table and started examining it on her own.

Mr. Leng watched her do this, not saying anything, but his eyes emitted a faint light, relieved that she wasn’t planning to treat him like a pampered princess as before.

Suddenly, Zhang Lingying put down the menu, looked up at him, and asked, "You’ve been to this restaurant before, haven’t you?"

"...Yes." Mr. Leng didn’t know what she was getting at and hesitated before responding truthfully.

Zhang Lingying: "Then I don’t need to look at it anymore. You order the dishes, I’ll follow your lead. Whatever you like to eat, I’ll eat with you."

Mr. Leng: "..."

It looked like she was intentionally not letting him have a peaceful meal today.

In the end, Mr. Leng still had the waitress come over and recommend a few signature dishes.

He had been to this restaurant, that’s true, but his taste was rather bland, which most people wouldn’t fancy too much.

The young lady looked energetic, and he suspected her taste in food was probably for stronger flavors.

A few signature dishes should be to her liking.

Throughout the ordering process, Mr. Leng tried to solicit Zhang Lingying’s opinion, but as she had said earlier, she would eat whatever he liked, nodding obediently throughout, trying her best to indulge him.

Mr. Leng felt a bit of a headache. Once the order was placed, he found an excuse to step out and make a call.

Zhang Lingying sat alone at the table, and when she saw Mr. Leng had walked away, she covertly took out her phone and snapped a photo of his back.

Then, she sent it to Ji Weitian, "I’ve managed to get the handsome guy out. But for some reason, he seems a bit down today."

Without waiting for Ji Weitian to reply, she added, "They say drunkenness solves all sorrows. Can I get him drunk and take him away later?"
