Chapter 60 Call Me Darling
"Yes!" Lin Yourong nodded emphatically.
Sister Ru felt nauseous watching from the side.
It's so sweet it's cloying!
After glancing around, I spotted a dim sum restaurant across the street and quickly pointed, saying, "Long Fung Lou on Hong Kong Island! That's it!"
Yu Huan looked up in the direction Sister Ru pointed, and saw a three-story dim sum restaurant.
On the third floor, rows of neat windows come into view, each with a semi-transparent curtain hanging on it, some slightly open and others half-open.
They should all be private rooms.
"it is good."
Yu Huan straightened up, took Lin Yourong's hand, and followed Sister Ru across the road.
As the man who had offered to treat them, he reluctantly let go of Lin Yourong's hand and inquired at the front desk.
I learned that the minimum spend for the small private room is 200.
Without saying a word, Yu Huan made the arrangements immediately.
Although the private room was not large, it did not feel oppressive or cramped.
The walls are a soft, warm yellow, adorned with several exquisite calligraphy and paintings.
In the middle is a small rectangular table covered with a clean white tablecloth.
Overall, it can barely seat four people.
Yu Huan rinsed the dishes for the two ladies with hot water and poured the wastewater into a large, transparent plastic bowl.
Traditional morning tea is sold by vendors pushing carts. They stamp the order slip according to the stall, and customers take the slip to pay after they finish their tea.
However, as times have changed, the current method is to place orders by ticking boxes on paper, and in the future, there will be another method: ordering by scanning a QR code.
Not to mention the dim sum restaurants in Shanghai, the background noise doesn't even have a Cantonese-speaking environment, which makes it feel a bit off.
of course.
These three native Hunanese simply equated morning tea with breakfast, as they were just trying something new.
Lin Yourong sat on the inside by the window, while Yu Huan sat on the outside, the two of them side by side.
Sister Ru sat opposite them.
A variety of tea snacks were laid out on the table.
Sister Ru used the tip of her chopsticks to poke a shrimp dumpling with a crystal-clear outer skin, put it in her mouth and bit into it. The filling was fresh and bouncy, and every bite was full of the deliciousness of shrimp.
Savor it slowly.
Watching the two people opposite me eating their own food, they finally quieted down for a while and stopped showing off their affection.
The three of them enjoyed their meal in quiet contemplation.
But Sister Ru couldn't help asking a question she had been pondering for a long time: "How long have you known each other since you met through a blind date?"
"Let me do the math," Yu Huan said, holding a golden lava bun in her right hand and counting on her left fingers: "We met on November 27th, and it's December 9th now."
"Oh." Sister Ru glanced at Lin Yourong, who was silently gnawing on steamed ribs. "We've known each other for over a year now."
We've known each other for so long, but this girl hasn't revealed a single word; she's quite good at keeping things to herself.
After counting, Yu Huan gently bit into the custard bun, and the remaining half of the custard filling slowly flowed out from the tip of her chopsticks.
He quickly turned his chopsticks so that the exposed side was facing up.
He chewed slowly and carefully.
Hearing Sister Ru's words, he immediately shook his head and explained, "No, we've known each other for thirteen days."
“Oh, you’ve known each other for thirteen days,” Sister Ru replied casually.
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
what?
She froze instantly, her eyebrows rising high as if to leap out of her forehead, revealing her inner astonishment.
Her mouth opened slightly, about to let out a gasp, but she was suddenly choked by surprise.
Thirteen days?
No wonder they're so inseparable.
They were still deeply in love, having only known each other for less than two weeks!
Sister Ru forced herself to remain calm and pressed on, "No, you two only knew each other for less than half a month before getting your marriage certificate? A whirlwind marriage, right?"
Yu Huan swallowed the custard bun in her mouth and smiled brightly, revealing eight big white teeth: "To be specific, we got our marriage certificate the day after we met."
"What?" Sister Ru swallowed hard, so dumbfounded that her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly: "You two got married the day after you met?"
This young man, holy crap!
"Mm!" Lin Yourong nodded.
She picked up another piece of steamed pork rib, dipped it in the sauce, put it in her little mouth, and with a gentle suck, the meat separated from the bone. Then she gently spat the bone onto the bone plate.
Yu Huan shared a small portion of the rice noodle roll with her.
Sister Ru picked up a spoon and scooped up the preserved egg and lean pork congee with a clattering sound.
Suddenly, his movements froze.
Remembering that Lin Su had mentioned before that Yu Huan was her father's subordinate, and that the reason the two were able to go on a blind date was because of her father's arrangement.
Clearly, Yu Huan had already been tested by these two men.
Sister Ru has met Lin Su's parents; both are leaders, and they are shrewd old foxes who know how to speak cryptically.
Old Lin may seem kind, but he has a lot of pent-up authority. He doesn't say it outright, but it's obvious that he's very dissatisfied with Lin Su being an artist.
Aunt Duan solemnly warned her not to lead Lin Su astray, scolding Lin Su for being disobedient, but in reality, she was fulfilling Lin Su's dream of becoming a singer.
These two are not to be underestimated.
Could it be that Lin Su simply accepted the marriage arranged by her parents?
But can arranged marriages really lead to such deep and lasting love at first sight?
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
However, the question that had puzzled them for so long suddenly became clear, no wonder they still sleep in separate beds!
Hey!
Judging from their inseparable state, they'll probably be sleeping together soon.
Although Lin Su is a rather conservative girl with strict family upbringing, she is still a young woman in her mid-twenties.
What's more, this is the son-in-law favored by both of the leaders in the family!
After a thousand thoughts raced through my mind, I sighed with envy, jealousy, and resentment: "It's true that the two of them fell in love at first sight."
"You could say that!" Yu Huan grinned and placed a chicken foot on Lin Yourong's plate.
have to.
These two started being all lovey-dovey again.
Suddenly, I grasped the key point in Yu Huan's words.
"What do you mean, 'okay'?" Sister Ru teased, "Could it be that my Susu took the initiative?"
Yu Huan chuckled at Lin Yourong.
Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know.
Lin Yourong calmly put down her chopsticks.
From Sister Ru's perspective, it looked like she had only straightened the hem of her clothes, but there seemed to be some crumbs on it.
In reality, he secretly pinched Yu Huan's thigh.
hiss--
That's so refreshing!
Yu Huan gritted her teeth secretly, her face remaining expressionless, and hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, of course I took the initiative!"
Lin Yourong raised her right hand to the table, picked up her chopsticks, and nodded in satisfaction.
Full of tea and rice.
Sister Ru was covering her mouth and politely letting out a burp when she heard Lin Yourong, who had finished eating the chicken feet and put down her chopsticks, say:
"Sister Ru, I want to go to Henglong Plaza with Yu Huan."
have to.
They're kicking people out again.
Sister Ru asked with a smile, "Going to buy clothes?"
"Yes." Lin Yourong nodded and smiled.
Looking at her bright smile, Yu Huan felt a little uneasy when she heard the words "Hang Lung Plaza".
It's not that I find shopping with women unbearable; it feels like I can do anything as long as I'm with Lin Yourong.
Instead, he secretly weighed his wallet... and realized he was short of money.
Hang Lung Plaza in Shanghai is a landmark luxury shopping center.
Speaking of Lin Yourong, she should know his current spending level, since he has spent all his money on buying shops and even borrowed money to leverage his finances.
The current situation is beyond our control.
Making money is urgent, and we must accelerate the process!
We can't expect Rongrong to have to downgrade her lifestyle after she gets together with him, can we?
Although he is indeed living off a woman now, Yu Huan still has a bit of a male chauvinist streak.
Thinking that Lin Yourong was so good to him, he should spend a lot of money to go shopping with her, but he couldn't cut off his main artery all at once. For example, he should never do something like taking out an online loan to pretend he was rich.
Well, when she tries those entry-level high-end products, I have to use flattery and praise them enthusiastically.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Huan had already made a plan in his mind.
"Are you going to drive?" Sister Ru asked, then suddenly shook her head: "To be honest, Susu, I'm a little worried about your driving skills."
Lin Su nodded towards Yu Huan with her lip: "He can drive."
As he said this, Yu Huan also said in unison, "I can drive!"
"That's fine."
Sister Ru opened the handbag on the seat next to her, took out the car keys, and handed them to Yu Huan.
Yu Huan hurriedly accepted it with both hands: "Thank you, Sister Ru!"
"No need to thank me!" Sister Ru waved her hand. She was very sensible and didn't want to be a third wheel or witness their lovey-dovey moments anymore. "You guys have fun. I'm going straight to the hotel to take a nap."
"Row."
Lin Yourong took a tissue from the table and wiped her mouth.
Yu Huan had already paid when she booked the private room and ordered the food.
After tidying up a bit, Lin Yourong put on her mask and habitually took Yu Huan's hand.
This action startled even herself.
Yu Huan couldn't help but smile; this was the first time Lin Yourong had taken the initiative to hold his hand.
The three walked back to the hotel in ten minutes. Before going upstairs, Sister Ru took out a free parking voucher from her bag and gave it to Yu Huan.
Finally, he emphasized, "I didn't sleep well last night because I was thinking about work. Don't call me for lunch, and put your phone on do-not-disturb mode. I want to sleep until I naturally wake up!"
"Okay." Lin Yourong nodded.
Yu Huan waved: "Goodbye, Sister Ru."
"Goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Sister Ru turned around and pouted.
I'd be a dog if I went out with you two lovey-dovey couple again and let you show off your love like that!
The young couple walked to the open-air parking lot on the side of the hotel building.
Lin Yourong pointed out, "This is Sister Ru's car."
Yu Huan followed the direction of her raised hand and saw a black Audi A4 with a Shanghai license plate.
"Not a company car?"
"No, it's her own. Sister Ru is quite well-off."
The two walked closer.
Yu Huan asked with some curiosity, "Sister Ru must be over thirty, right? Aren't you married?"
“They’re divorced. The child is in Changsha right now, he’s only about four or five years old, and his maternal grandparents are taking care of him.”
"Oh." Yu Huan nodded.
I didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone has a gossipy heart, but few people have it as much as Yu Huan.
After getting in the car.
The two fastened their seatbelts, and Lin Yourong adjusted her mask, continuing their previous conversation: "Sister Ru's family is in business. Her ex-husband studied architecture at Tongji University. It was a single-parent family, and they weren't well-off. They got married very early—"
"The first sword strike after landing will be to slay the one I desire!" Yu Huan suddenly interrupted Lin Yourong.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong smiled and said, "What you said is very insightful, you're absolutely right."
"That heartless bastard!" Yu Huan feigned anger, but actually flirted with her in a somewhat greasy way: "If I ever get out of this mess, I'll definitely cherish you and protect you like a treasure!"
Lin Yourong was taken aback for a moment, then came to her senses and rolled her eyes at him vividly: "Then I'll wait for you to come ashore."
Yu Huan, who was setting up the navigation on the center console, glanced at Lin Yourong and rolled her eyes, looking confident: "Fine! I'll definitely cherish you."
After setting the path, I didn't hear her say anything for a long time.
He turned his head and realized that Lin Yourong was staring at him blankly.
After exchanging glances, Lin Yourong immediately turned her head to look out the window and softly hummed in agreement.
Yu Huan smiled without saying much, released the handbrake, turned the steering wheel, and drove out of the parking space.
When we arrived at the toll booth, I rolled down the car window, took the free parking ticket out of my pocket, and handed it to the security guard.
The security guard took it, glanced at it, and waved for him to pass.
Half past nine in the morning.
There was some congestion when we passed through a two-lane road; the long queue at the traffic lights stretched as far as the eye could see, and impatient drivers were honking their horns from time to time.
It should be noted that horns have been banned in Shanghai for many years.
They probably just couldn't stand the cut-off dogs who would squeeze through any available space.
Yu Huan glanced at Lin Yourong, who was leaning back in her seat, gazing out the window. Lin Yourong had pulled her mask down to the tip of her chin, perhaps feeling stuffy.
The car windows were tinted with privacy film, and with the sunlight shining brightly, it was impossible to see inside from the outside.
Yu Huan said in a relaxed and cheerful tone, "Rongrong, have you noticed a problem?"
"Ok?"
"At first it was Yu Huan, then it was Xiao Yu, then it never called me again! It's always been you!"
Lin Yourong remained motionless and silent.
Seeing this, Yu Huan started rambling on: "Let me think, if you call me brother, I'm a few months younger than you, and if you call me husband, I doubt you'd be able to say it. How about you try calling me 'darling' first?"
Lin Yourong ignored him, as if she were about to fall asleep.
Just as Yu Huan was about to give up, a soft voice came from the passenger seat: "Darling~"
For example, mosquitoes and flies.
But Yu Huan, who had been listening intently, clearly caught it and couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "Yes!"
Lin Yourong suddenly turned around and pinched Yu Huan's arm: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and drive!"
Several parking spaces were already available in front of the car.
However, Yu Huan was truly stunned when she looked at Lin Yourong, whose face was as beautiful as a flower with dew on it.
Until a sharp horn blared from the rear of the car.
"Oh!" Yu Huan reluctantly withdrew her gaze, gripped the steering wheel, and slowly pressed the accelerator.
He suddenly turned his head: "Didn't hear you clearly? Should I call out again?"
"Watch where you're going!" Lin Yourong pretended to pinch him.
"Hey! Are you a crab or something?" Yu Huan quickly turned slightly to the side.
Lin Yourong simply raised her head arrogantly and snorted.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. After passing through the congested area, when they could see Hang Lung Plaza in the distance, Lin Yourong immediately opened the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat.
He pulled out an eyeglasses case, opened it, took out a pair of sunglasses, put them on, and then lifted his mask.
Since its opening in 2001, Hang Lung Plaza was the tallest building in Puxi at the time. Located in the heart of Shanghai, it is a well-known luxury destination.
Top international luxury brands are gathered here, offering everything from fashionable clothing to exquisite jewelry, from world-renowned watches to high-end cosmetics.
This is a den of iniquity in Shanghai, a paradise for women, and a nightmare for men.
