Chapter 52: Dinner Date
Huh?
Jiang Wan blinked her beautiful eyes, her brain momentarily freezing.
She had offered her shoulder as a pillow for Lin Shen simply because she felt sorry for him after he’d accompanied her around Changxing Island all day and was exhausted.
She hadn’t had any other thoughts.
But who knew Lin Shen would start making moves, shifting his head from her shoulder down to her chest!
Jiang Wan’s gentle face instantly flushed red, her rapidly beating heart wrapped in intense embarrassment.
She stole a glance at Lin Shen beside her, noticing his fluttering eyelashes and steady breathing—clearly deep in sleep.
It probably wasn’t intentional.
After reaching this conclusion, Jiang Wan suddenly felt relieved.
Then she carefully supported Lin Shen’s head and straightened her back, using her chest as support to give him a comfortable sleeping environment.
“Rest well.”
Jiang Wan murmured, gently brushing away Lin Shen’s fallen bangs with maternal tenderness, her beautiful eyes gentle as spring water.
A faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
8:10 PM.
“Final stop.”
When the bus stopped at the station, Lin Shen also woke up leisurely, stretching and groaning softly.
He had dreamed about playing with water balloons as a child, even getting tired and falling asleep on them.
That softness was so much better than any pillow on the market!
“Awake?”
Jiang Wan beside him chuckled softly.
“I didn’t know you purr like a little cat when you sleep.”
“Really? I had no idea.”
Lin Shen felt a bit embarrassed. After glancing at Jiang Wan, he suddenly looked puzzled.
Somehow, her strapless inner garment had slipped down more than usual, creating a deep valley between her breasts.
Lin Shen’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to it. When he came to his senses, he reminded her.
“Senior, your clothes have slipped down.”
Clothes?
Jiang Wan looked down and her face turned as red as fire, quickly pulling up her strapless top.
“Little brother Lin Shen, thanks for telling me, but…”
Seeing Lin Shen still staring at her chest, Jiang Wan tapped his forehead with her finger, pretending to be angry as she scolded playfully.
“Remember not to keep staring at girls’ chests like that—it’s very rude.”
“Sorry.”
Lin Shen quickly averted his gaze with an embarrassed smile, then changed the subject.
“Let’s go. The driver will start rushing us soon.”
“Mm.”
After the three got off the bus, Sun Wenhao immediately found an excuse to leave, no longer wanting to be the damn third wheel.
“My friend called me to dinner tonight. I’m heading out.”
“Okay, be careful on the way.”
In the subway station, after watching Sun Wenhao board the arriving train, Jiang Wan looked at Lin Shen.
“You should go home and rest early too.”
“I’d like to invite Senior Jiang Wan to dinner.”
Lin Shen smiled.
“Remember what we agreed on at the school gate last time?”
“Of course I remember, but didn’t you already treat me at lunch?”
“That was for Brother Sun. This time I want to treat just you.”
Feeling Lin Shen’s intense gaze, Jiang Wan suddenly felt her heart skip a few beats.
She thought of something, but afraid of misunderstanding, she hesitated before smiling and agreeing.
“Alright, what would you like to treat me to?”
“Just come with me.”
Lin Shen smiled mysteriously, which piqued Jiang Wan’s curiosity.
Shanghai Lujiazui CBD, Central Tower.
When Lin Shen said to get off at this subway station, Jiang Wan sensed something was wrong.
This was essentially Shanghai’s economic center, where several skyscrapers pierced the city’s heart like needles.
“You’re planning to have dinner here?”
Jiang Wan looked at Lin Shen questioningly, and he nodded.
“I made a reservation at the French restaurant on the 68th floor of Central Tower. I thought the view outside would be quite nice.”
Lin Shen’s thinking was simple—after achieving financial freedom, he should experience all kinds of life.
As an ordinary person among the masses, he had never dared to linger too long in this central business district.
Because he felt he didn’t belong here.
But now, Lin Shen wanted to try.
Try experiencing Shanghai’s true luxury and prestige as one of its masters.
But going alone would be too awkward, so Lin Shen decided to invite Jiang Wan.
After all, when a man goes out, besides proper attire adding significant points, the quality of his female companion is also one of the most crucial aspects of face.
Jiang Wan fit perfectly.
Whether in figure, appearance, or personality, she radiated the unique elegance and grace of Chinese women in every gesture.
True capacity means great tolerance.
“Let’s go.”
Seeing Jiang Wan hesitate, Lin Shen half-joked.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you like this place?”
“Little brother Lin Shen, remember this—no woman would refuse a romantic Western dinner.”
Jiang Wan graciously took Lin Shen’s arm, her smile as warm and gentle as the morning sun.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to spend the money.”
Maison Lameloise Shanghai.
As the overseas debut of the legendary French restaurant, it had consistently maintained its Michelin two-star rating since opening.
Ultimate French culinary art combined with beautiful cloud-level scenery made it a top choice for couples dating in Shanghai.
Though expensive, if the goal was to please a woman, this was definitely the right choice.
“Do you like it?”
In a corner of the restaurant, Cheng Yue pointed to the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing affectionately at Gu Wanting across from him.
“Wanting, to celebrate your successful graduation, I specially reserved this window seat.”
“Thank you!”
Gu Wanting looked around excitedly.
After all, this was her first time at such a high-end restaurant, and strong feelings of vanity and satisfaction spread through her heart.
When she was dating Lin Shen, she wouldn’t have dared dream of such a place.
But now, her dream had become reality.
This made Gu Wanting feel fortunate—fortunate to have met Cheng Yue, and fortunate to have cut ties with Lin Shen in time.
“Thanks for being so thoughtful.”
Gu Wanting actively took Cheng Yue’s hand, returning his loving gaze with equally tender eyes.
“I really like the atmosphere here. Could you take a photo of me?”
“No problem!”
Cheng Yue stood up, took out his phone, and used the orderly high-rises outside as background to capture Gu Wanting’s charming face and sexy figure in his photo album.
This made his heart burn with desire, and he licked his dry lips.
“Wanting, you’re so beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
Gu Wanting smiled politely, taking out her phone to snap photos of the exquisitely plated dishes on the table.
Just as she was about to post to social media with location tags, an elegant figure in hanfu passed by.
?
Someone actually wore hanfu to eat Western food at Maison Lameloise?
Wasn’t there a formal dress code here?
Gu Wanting looked up curiously and immediately spotted the beautiful woman in hanfu in the dim restaurant.
And her male companion beside her.
Huh?
Gu Wanting’s pupils contracted sharply, her brain instantly buzzing.
That person was… Lin Shen!?
