Chapter 37: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!

  

Chapter 37: Is She Working Here?

The restaurant manager glanced at the little girl next to Si Yechen. They were holding hands, so it was obvious she was future Mrs. Si!

He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Mrs. Si, please come this way!"

"I'm not Mrs. Si."

Seeing them holding hands, the manager nodded hastily, "Of course! Mr. Si has never brought a girl here before, you're the first!"

"..."

"Do you have any dietary restrictions, Mrs. Si?"

"No restrictions, just change the way you address me, call me Ou Yan."

"Even if you gave me ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to address Mrs. Si directly..." The manager smiled apologetically and whispered into his headset, "Quick, clear the place! As fast as possible!"

Ou Yan glanced at Si Yechen as if to ask: Is it necessary to make such a fuss just for a meal?

"This is our first time." Si Yechen didn't let go of her hand as they entered the restaurant together.

On the other side,

Bai Muyao walked arm in arm with Gao Yang, happily saying, "Brother Gao Yang, this restaurant is so expensive, and you still brought me here... you're so good to me!"

Gao Yang looked at her indulgently, "You are my fiancée, of course I have to treat you well."

As they approached the restaurant's entrance, the greeter bowed apologetically, "I'm sorry, but we've been booked for a private event tonight."

"Booked? I didn't receive any notification on my phone..." Gao Yang's brows furrowed slightly, showing some displeasure.

"It was a last-minute notification... really sorry about that. You can reschedule through our app for another date, and next time, we'll give you a fifty percent discount..."

Bai Muyao was surprised, fifty percent off?! Such a big discount?

You should know, this restaurant is ridiculously expensive, even a simple fruit tea costs over two thousand...

Even if you have the money, you're not guaranteed a reservation. Gao Yang had to book half a month in advance...

And it's just for a regular table!

The top private rooms? No need to even think about it!

Who's the big shot that booked the entire place today?! So extravagant!!

"Alright."

Just as Gao Yang was about to leave, Bai Muyao noticed a familiar figure inside, heading towards the VIP elevator!

That elevator goes to the top private rooms!

Isn't that Ou Yan?!

That figure, she wouldn't mistake it!

Bai Muyao quickly pointed to the girl inside, "Why can she go in?"

"Who are you referring to?" The greeter turned around but didn't see anyone, explaining gently, "The only people allowed in here tonight are our honored guests and the restaurant staff."

"Muyao, who did you see?" Gao Yang looked over curiously but didn't see anyone familiar.

Bai Muyao whispered in Gao Yang's ear, "I think I saw my sister."

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

People who can enter here are either wealthy or important. Obviously, Ou Yan's spending power doesn't match this place!

Moreover, the restaurant has been booked entirely tonight, so how could she possibly get in?

"Maybe my sister is working here to stay in the capital?" Bai Muyao sighed feignedly, "Brother Gao Yang, could you use your connections to find a job for my sister? I'm afraid wealthy people here might take a liking to her and get too familiar. My sister used to be proud. If she's compromising just to stay in the capital..."

"Her life or death has nothing to do with us." Gao Yang held Bai Muyao's hand, "Let's go eat at the restaurant across the street."

"Okay." Bai Muyao deliberately chose a table by the window to better observe Ou Yan's predicament. This way, she could clearly see Ou Yan leaving the Starry Sky Restaurant!

"Mr. Si, Mrs. Si, please have a seat."

The spacious and luxurious private room had a view of the outside scenery.

This was a high-end restaurant located on the mountaintop, with the ceiling opened up to reveal the real starry sky.

Si Yechen sat next to Ou Yan, holding her hand without letting go, and an iPad was placed in front of her, "What would you like to eat?"

Ou Yan looked at the menu and randomly chose a few dishes, but Si Yechen added several more. When the manager left the room, Ou Yan raised an eyebrow, "Can you let go now?"

Si Yechen naturally released her right hand but then held her left hand, seamlessly transitioning.

Ou Yan: ...

"Do you want to eat like this?" Ou Yan wasn't used to this posture.

"After we finish eating, we'll talk." Si Yechen picked up a peeled shrimp and brought it to her lips, "Try it?"

"Put it in the bowl, I'll eat it myself."

Si Yechen, hearing her speak, directly put the shrimp into her mouth.

Ou Yan warned him with her eyes, but Si Yechen didn't get upset. He looked at her gently and asked, "How is it?"

"Not that great!"

The foreign chef nearby was startled and asked in broken Chinese, "Mrs. Si, could you tell me what's wrong with this dish? I'll fix it right away."

"I was referring to the person, not the dish."

The foreign chef was a bit confused and didn't understand what she meant.

"I suggest you all leave."

Upon hearing Si Yechen's words, the chefs and the manager hurriedly left, as if they had been given a new lease on life.

"Are you angry?" Si Yechen looked at the little girl in front of him gently, "I was too hasty."

"Can you sit across from me?"

In short, could you sit farther away from me?

"I want to sit with you."

Looking at Si Yechen's serious face, Ou Yan was speechless.

After finally finishing the meal, the restaurant's lights dimmed, and the ceiling opened up to reveal a beautiful starry sky.

Ou Yan looked up at the stars, suddenly remembering the days she spent in the countryside when she was young.

Back then, Bai Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin's business hadn't taken off yet, and they were busy outside all year round. Grandma Bai accompanied her through many nights.

The countryside back then was just like it is now, full of stars.

It's just that the people from back then are long gone.

A violinist stood in a corner of the private room with his instrument, playing romantic music.

As the piece ended, the night sky suddenly erupted with brilliant fireworks. Ou Yan looked up at the fireworks, while Si Yechen looked down at her.
