Chapter 273: President Wei Is Actually Coveting Other People's Food
Su Yan smiled and said, "Young Master Lan, are you panicking? Don't be. I'm just a senior assistant beside Miss Summer. I don't eat people."
Hearing this, Lan Jian couldn't help but glance at Wei Zhou, then he smiled apologetically and said, "Hehe, you must be joking. To be able to become Miss Summer's senior assistant, you're definitely not a simple person."
He didn't know how powerful Su Yan was, but someone who could be placed in an important position by Miss Summer definitely had something extraordinary about her. Moreover, if he dared to do anything to Su Yan, Su Yan wouldn't even need to make a move. Wei Zhou would be the first to beat him up.
He felt that being a bystander to their relationship wasn't very easy. He didn't dare to offend any one of them. He was really afraid!
At this moment, the waiter began to serve Su Yan. Dishes were placed on the table one after another. There were salmon sashimi, sweet prawns, arctic scallops, sea urchin sashimi, seaweed sushi, and so on. Su Yan ignored Wei Zhou and Lan Jian as she enjoyed the delicacies ,while Wei Zhou and Lan Jian could only sit opposite her and watch, because the dishes they ordered weren't ready yet.
Su Yan smiled and said, "Then I'll start eating first, President Wei and President Lan."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of bluefin tuna and smeared a thin layer of wasabi on it. Then, she gently put it into her mouth and chewed it elegantly and slowly. A faint smear of wasabi remained on her pink lips. Under the illumination of the lights, it was a highly saturated candy color. Anyone who saw it would feel the urge to kiss her.
In the past, Wei Zhou and Lan Jian had almost never eaten together with Su Yan. Even for the occasional gatherings, they wouldn't invite her. They didn't even want to take another look at her because a woman like her, who only had a good-looking appearance, was nothing in the upper class and wasn't taken seriously.
Now, they were admiring how Su Yan ate the delicacies in small bites slowly and elegantly, as if they were enjoying a food documentary. That kind of elegance wasn't faked at all. It wasn't something that someone from an ordinary family could fake.
Wei Zhou and Lan Jian were watching Su Yan eat. Not only were they not embarrassed, but they were doing so openly. This level of shamelessness was indeed far above that of an ordinary person.
Seeing Su Yan eat, Wei Zhou had a flashback to the night of New Years. He asked Su Yan to run first, but Su Yan was like a heroine as she overpowered three men in masks. Although it was late at night, in his eyes, Su Yan's entire body was emitting an aura that attracted him.
It was also from that moment that he realized the fact that Su Yan, this ex-wife whom he had despised for three years, whether it was her looks or personality, was totally his type. No matter what Su Yan did, he sincerely liked it.
As if sensing the man's burning gaze, Su Yan couldn't help but raise her head and frowned slightly. "Could it be that President Wei is also feeling hungry?"
Lan Jian silently smiled and couldn't help but look at Wei Zhou with disdain. He felt that his buddy was too useless. From the moment he entered until now, no matter what Su Yan did, his eyes were staring straight at her. His face had the words "I like you" written all over it.
Seeing that Wei Zhou didn't speak and seemed to be in a daze, Lan Jian smiled bitterly. He sat down and gently nudged Wei Zhou with his knee. Wei Zhou immediately frowned and glared at him with some dissatisfaction, then, he looked at Su Yan with a burning gaze. "Yes, I am indeed feeling a little hungry."
When he said this, he didn't have any expression on his face. It was as if when he was looking at Su Yan in a daze just now, but wasn't because he liked her, but because he was really hungry.
When she heard him say this, Su Yan revealed an expression of disbelief. However, she didn't say anything. In any case, it had nothing to do with her.
Lan Jian said with amusement, "The great President Wei is actually coveting other people's food. Who would believe it if I told others?"
Fortunately, this restaurant cooked very quickly. Su Yan had only eaten a little when the food that Wei Zhou and Lan Jian ordered was also ready. Looking at the delicious food that Lan Jian ordered, Su Yan secretly nodded. Although Lan Jian was a good-for-nothing, in terms of food, he had pretty good taste. At least the food that he ordered looked pretty good.
Lan Jian rubbed his hands and wanted to start eating. However, when he looked at Su Yan and Wei Zhou, he generously placed the food he ordered in the middle of the table. He even took the initiative to say to Su Yan, "Miss Su, would you try this sashimi? The taste of this sashimi is superb. Also, this barbecued bird skewer is actually barbecued chicken. I guarantee that you won't forget it after you try it."
Chapter 274: This Meal Is Lan Jian's Treat
Su Yan took a look. She heard that this so-called "lantern" had become very popular on the internet recently. Many internet celebrities had come to this restuarant. They said that it was very delicious, but in her eyes, it was just a strange egg that was a little disgusting to look at.
However, she still smiled politely and said, "Thank you, I've already ordered a lot."
Lan Jian smiled awkwardly. He felt that he had gone overboard with his enthusiasm again, but he still replied, "Oh, it's okay. I'll treat you to other delicious food in the future."
Wei Zhou glanced at Lan Jian coldly. Although he didn't say anything, that gaze made Lan Jian's heart tighten. He felt as if he was about to be punched again.
"Cough, cough cough..." Suddenly, Wei Zhou raised his head and coughed. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. It turned out that he had been too focused on looking at Lan Jian and had dipped too much wasabi, so he choked on the strong taste of wasabi.
Looking at Wei Zhou's disheveled appearance, Su Yan couldn't help but smile. Just as she was about to drink a mouthful of fruit juice to hide the smile on her face, the cup in her hand was snatched away by someone.
Without waiting for her to react, Wei Zhou specifically drank from the place she had just drunk from. This PDA stunned Lan Jian, who was beside her. He immediately felt that the lantern in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"F * ck, this PDA makes me lose my appetite. If I had known, I wouldn't have ordered so much food," Lan Jian thought to himself.
However, after she saw Wei Zhou's actions, Su Yan's pretty face turned cold. "Wei Zhou, don't you think it's a little rude to do this?"
"Cough, don't blame me. The wasabi was too strong." Wei Zhou pretended to cough.
Su Yan took a deep breath and didn't argue with him anymore. She asked the waiter to pour her another cup of fruit juice. The fruit juice in this restaurant was actually sour plum soup. They could drink as much as you wanted, but the taste was very good.
When he saw her unhappy face, the corners of Wei Zhou's mouth couldn't help but curl up. He felt a little proud inside. Ever since the divorce, this was the first time he had made Su Yan angry in a direct confrontation. In the past, he wanted to make Su Yan angry, but she didn't take him seriously at all. She always treated him with a cold and indifferent look. But today, he finally saw an angry expression on Su Yan's face. This was an improvement for him.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Su Yan was almost done eating. After drinking another cup of sour plum soup, she said, "I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. You guys can take your time to eat."
Before she finished speaking, she took her menu receipt and was about to pay the bill. However, just as she stood up, Wei Zhou grabbed her arm.
Su Yan froze. Looking at the arm that Wei Zhou grabbed, she frowned and asked, "President Wei, are you doing this in public? Want another trending search?"
Hearing this, Wei Zhou reluctantly let go of her hand. However, he took the receipt from her hand and stuffed it to Lan Jian, who was eating. "This meal is your treat. You can just leave."
Looking at the receipt in his arms, if it wasn't for the food in his mouth, Lan Jian would have cursed, "F * ck you!" But when he looked at Wei Zhou's serious eyes, he still gave Su Yan a brilliant smile. He was his buddy, so he had to endure it. Forget it, the main thing was that he couldn't beat Wei Zhou!
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and her beautiful eyes shifted to Lan Jian's face. Seeing that he was smiling at her, Su Yan nodded and said, "In that case, thank you, Young Master Lan."
It was just a meal. It wasn't like she couldn't afford it. However, Wei Zhou had even sold out his buddy, so she didn't mind satisfying this scumbag's weird hobby.
Lan Jian said generously, "Miss Su, you're too kind. It's just a meal."
Just because he looked at Su Yan twice, he received a death stare from Wei Zhou. If looks could kill, he would be riddled with holes by now.
Lan Jian was angry but didn't dare to say anything. It was fine if he asked him to spend money, but now, he couldn't even look at her. This friendship was over!
Su Yan glanced at the two of them again and left with her bag. Before she walked out of the door, she burped. Suddenly, the aroma of food lingered in her nose.
"Hmm, free food is indeed delicious," Su Yan thought to herself.
At this moment, Wei Zhou caught up with her with big strides. He glanced at her indifferently. Seeing that the man didn't say anything, she ignored him and continued to walk out.
Chapter 275: Give Me Another Chance
The two of them walked one after the other, neither talking to the other. The atmosphere was awkward. When Su Yan found her car in the parking lot, Su Yan turned to look at Wei Zhou. "Why are you following me?"
Wei Zhou replied, "I didn't drive. Please give me a ride. Sorry for the trouble."
Although he said so, Su Yan couldn't see any guilt or embarrassment on the man's face. It was as if she was supposed to give him a ride.
Su Yan was so angry that she laughed. "Wei Zhou, do you think I will believe you if you use the same excuse a second time? Do you think I am gullible, or are you gullible?"
Wei Zhou answered without hesitation, "I am gullible."
He gave the answer without thinking. Su Yan didn't expect the man to admit that he was stupid. However, he also choked back all the words that she had prepared. He had already started to mock himself. What else could she say?
Su Yan took a deep breath. "But I don't want to be troubled by others, especially you."
As if he had already guessed that she would reject him, Wei Zhou immediately said, "It's no trouble. I'll drive."
Hearing this, Su Yan was completely speechless. Why didn't she realize that Wei Zhou was still a stubborn person in the past? Being constantly pestered by the man had completely ruined her mood, and the smile on her face gradually faded. "Wei Zhou, I'm really not in the mood and don't want to joke with you."
The man had repeatedly challenged her temper. No matter how good her temper was, she had already endured it to the limit. If it weren't for the fact that they were once husband and wife, she would have already sent a flying kick over.
Wei Zhou retracted his smile and his expression became very serious. "But I'm not joking with you. I'm in love with You, Su Yan. I hope you can give me another chance."
Three years ago, he had let Su Yan down. After three years, he had finally come back to his senses. Therefore, he wanted to win Su Yan back, love her, and give her everything he had to make up for the debt he owed her.
Listening to the man's words, Su Yan only looked at Wei Zhou indifferently. Whether it was on her face or in her heart, there were no ripples. During the three years of marriage, she had accumulated three years of disappointment. Time and time again, she had rebuilt her confidence, but it was destroyed by him again and again. In the end, she was disheartened. There was no greater sorrow than falling out of love. After three years of marriage, the moment she received the divorce certificate, she only concluded with one sentence, "When enough disappointment has accumulated, even the person who loves you will also leave."
It had already been a year and a month since the divorce. She had long moved on from that failed marriage. This feeling made her feel as if she had a new life. Thinking back to the past, she felt that she was stupid. Why did she have to rush to get married? Being single was so great, but now, Wei Zhou had changed his mind and wanted to pull her back into the whirlpool of marriage. How could she jump back to suffer?
Su Yan's expression was slightly cold as she said, "Then you'll be disappointed. I gave you a chance for three years, but you didn't cherish it once, so I won't give you any more chances because you don't deserve it!"
Then, she pressed the car keys and opened the car door. Without looking back, she sat inside. Her youthful and pretty face was filled with unhappiness.
Seeing how determined she was, Wei Zhou gritted his teeth. After hearing Su Yan turn on the engine, he went around to the passenger seat and slapped the car window hard.
The parking space here was a little narrower than normal. Now that Wei Zhou's tall body was blocking it, she couldn't move the car, because she would definitely hit Wei Zhou.
Su Yan rolled down the window and said coldly, "What do you mean? The president of Excellent Era Corporation wants to play dirty?"
Wei Zhou continued, "I just want you to send me back."
His hand was already holding onto the passenger door handle, but when he thought about it, he let go. However, he had no intention of moving away. He continued to stick to the passenger door like an octopus.
Seeing the man acting shamelessly, Su Yan looked at him through the door for more than ten seconds. Then, she unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned over to push the passenger seat door open.
Seeing the man get into the passenger seat as he wished, Su Yan's expression was cold. She couldn't help but think to herself, "Very well. You're the one who provoked me."
Wei Zhou fastened his seatbelt and turned to look at Su Yan. Su Yan, on the other hand, was looking ahead at the car. There was no trace of a smile on her small face. The two of them didn't speak, so the atmosphere in the car was both depressing and awkward.
Su Yan drove the car out of the parking lot. The man found a topic to talk about and said, "We met ten years ago."
Chapter 276: Never Forgive You
Su Yan's expression didn't change as she said, "You have the wrong person."
Wei Zhou looked at her and said with certainty, "It's impossible. Moreover, you can't lie to me because I've remembered your appearance. I was the one who saved you on that snowy night."
"Screech..." Su Yan stepped on the brakes and the car slowly came to a stop. Wei Zhou thought that she was shocked, but then he realized that there was a red light ahead.
Su Yan looked at him indifferently. "So, you've mentioned the matter of saving me again and again. What is it for? Do you want me to repay your kindness?"
Seeing that she had admitted it, Wei Zhou said, "Su Yan, ever since I remembered that it was you, I understood why you like me. It's because in this world, there is no one who doesn't like strong people, especially girls. And it is precisely this feeling that gradually evolved into love. Just like in those melodramatic dramas, whenever a young girl encounters a hero saving a damsel in distress, there is no girl who wouldn't be moved."
Su Yan froze for a moment. Wei Zhou's words had removed her last veil of shame. She felt ashamed and angry, as if someone had seen through her heart at a glance. She could no longer remain as calm and composed as before.
Everyone had their own weak side, but outsiders only saw her calm and composed side. They ignored the fact that she was only a young girl in her twenties. She also had things and people that she cared about, such as Wei Zhou, and the past that she had hidden deep in her heart and didn't want to be mentioned.
"Screech..." Su Yan's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. The veins on the back of her hands bulged. It was obvious that she had used a lot of force.
Seeing the change in the woman, Wei Zhou was also stunned. He never expected that Su Yan's reaction would be so intense. He raised his hand and gently wrapped it around the woman's hand. He said softly, "Su Yan, I'm sorry."
Ever since he found out that he had fallen in love with Su Yan, he didn't know how many times he had apologized to Su Yan. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the person he let down the most was the girl he had saved back then. That girl had found him with great sincerity. Because of that kindness and innocence, she had endured three years of a marriage that was unbearable to look back on.
"Wei Zhou! Don't say you're sorry anymore, because I won't forgive you. I will never forgive you!" After saying that, Su Yan couldn't help but close her eyes. Her body was trembling slightly, and she was very emotional.
Soon, the green light lit up, and Su Yan forcefully shook off Wei Zhou's hand. "Don't disturb me while I'm driving!"
Wei Zhou didn't say anything. He reluctantly withdrew his hand, and he gripped his fingers, as if he was reminiscing the beautiful touch of Su Yan's smooth hand.
Looking at his hands, he suddenly felt amused. In the past, he could have touched her smooth hand whenever he wanted. But now, he couldn't even touch it. There was a good saying, 'only when you have lost it will you know how to cherish it.' Wasn't that referring to his current situation?
However, Wei Zhou wasn't discouraged. He knew that the grievance that Su Yan had suffered back then was unimaginable. Moreover, all of this had happened because of him. Therefore, he had to bear the consequences of his own actions. He looked at the scenery as his mind raced. He kept replaying the events that had happened in those three years. However, what made him feel bored was that even though there were so many memories, there were very few memories of Su Yan. Even if there were, they were all scenes of him scolding Su Yan. Most of them were scenes of him watching coldly from the sidelines.
These memories proved everything. His attitude toward Su Yan during those three years was far worse than Su Yan's current attitude toward him. This made him feel a little uncomfortable. Therefore, he leaned back in his chair. He could only think about that snowy night ten years ago.
Although he had done something heroic to save the damsel in distress that night, he didn't take it seriously. If it weren't for the fact that after the divorce, Su Yan had gone back to the Wei family to ask for her graduation photo, he would never have recognized Su Yan from that somewhat familiar pretty face in the photo.
When the car stopped, Wei Zhou slowly opened his eyes. He tilted his head and glanced at Su Yan. After more than half an hour of silence, Su Yan calmed down. "It's very convenient to take a taxi here. You can leave now."
Wei Zhou looked at her and said seriously, "Su Yan, what do I have to do to make you forgive me?"
Hearing that he still didn't give up, Su Yan chuckled. "Forgive you? Okay, our first meeting was on a snowy day. If you can make it snow in Jiangdu in June, I will forgive you."
