Chapter 674 - 672 She Likes You
Once outside, their hands were still tightly connected, an unconscious gesture that felt just like when they were in the orphanage as kids.Yuan Yumeng didn’t think much of it, but Huo Junting felt all uncomfortable and gently shook off her hand, laughing, "You’re really not in a hurry. Wouldn’t getting it done sooner have solved it sooner?"
"...Didn’t that staff member already say it? The stamp’s broken today, don’t scare them." Yuan Yumeng intentionally spoke in an exaggerated mature tone.
Actually, how could he possibly scare anyone?
Just now, she noticed that the staff member was staring at him, completely captivated. Handsome guys naturally get attention everywhere.
"Ha." Huo Junting chuckled, "Let’s go. I’ll take you to eat. What would you like?"
Yuan Yumeng teased, "Are we having this early divorce meal?"
"Come on." Huo Junting lightly patted her shoulder, "Didn’t you call me big brother? Why take every word so seriously? You can always come to me if you want to eat something good in the future."
Yuan Yumeng glanced at him, "Who’s taking it seriously here? I was just joking!"
Huo Junting quickly realized, the girl’s face before him overlapping with that of the chubby little girl from back then, "Little rascal."
At the orphanage, when she acted spoiled with him, that’s what he would call her—
"Little rascal, little girl, chubby, clumsy, etc."
There were too many, and she could barely remember them.
Back then, Huo Junting was famous for giving nicknames.
...
In the end, they went to a small, charming restaurant, its decor chic and filled with an artsy vibe.
Mostly young couples were dining inside, and the moment Huo Junting and Yuan Yumeng walked in, they became the focus of many; beautiful things always draw attention.
Yuan Yumeng glanced sideways at the man and noticed he seemed a bit uncomfortable, especially when several young girls exclaimed, "He’s so handsome, is he some kind of movie star?" His brow furrowed even tighter, giving off a chilling look.
"If you’re not comfortable, should we go somewhere else?" Yuan Yumeng asked with a smile.
"No need." Huo Junting waved his hand, speaking with an air of authority, "Here is good."
The waiter led them to a spot by the window, relatively quiet. As Yuan Yumeng looked over the menu, she naturally said, "In the future, you can bring your girlfriend here for a date. Let me tell you, the rice cakes here are amazing, super glutinous; girls love them."
"Girlfriend?" Huo Junting sipped his barley tea, "You’re thinking way ahead for me. Not even divorced yet and already looking for a girlfriend."
"..." Yuan Yumeng paused with the menu, lifting her gaze to the man, "It’s not that far-fetched. I think that Secretary Xu could totally take advantage of the situation."
Huo Junting didn’t react immediately, "What does this have to do with Secretary Xu?"
Yuan Yumeng called the waiter and ordered what she often ate before, saying, "Brother, can’t you tell Secretary Xu likes you?"
Actually, when she thinks about it, it wouldn’t be bad; before they get divorced, him having someone would ease her mind too.
That Secretary Xu is much more reliable than Lin Zheng—
"Haha, you mean Xu Jingya?" Huo Junting laughed inexplicably, "She and I... She’s my junior. If I had feelings for her, we’d have been together long ago, why wait until now?"
"..." Yuan Yumeng thought, you may not feel anything for her, but she certainly does for you!
In the next second, she confidently declared, "She likes you."
