After the incident where he was secretly photographed in the park with Lin Yuner, Tang Jinyan was much more cautious in this regard. The restaurant they went to was a couple restaurant under the Pan-Western Group. The Pan-Western Group did not know how to do business, but they were very experienced in this kind of thing. They would not let people secretly photograph them easily, and they were very popular with celebrities.
The private room was a closed couple's private room. It was specially designed for young couples to be intimate with each other. When their feelings were strong, no one would know.
Pu Chulong followed in. Looking at the seats in the private room, her pretty face turned red.
This was not a seat facing each other. There was only one side of the sofa for couples to sit close to each other.
Tang Jinyan also frowned. Before coming, he did not think that the so-called small private room would be so ambiguous. However, he was not in the mood to change places. He sat down first and said lightly: "Sit down."
Pu Chulong bit her lower lip and looked at the small space beside him hesitantly. Finally, she sat down with a red face.
In fact, it was nothing. It was similar to sitting next to each other in the car.
The waiter came in with the menu. Before he could speak, Tang Jinyan waved his hand and shooed him away: "Come back later."
Obviously, Tang Jinyan had no desire to eat at this moment, and neither did Pu Chulong.
Seeing the waiter leave, she did not say anything.
The private room was dimly lit, and the candlelight on the table was hazy and swaying. The saxophone was playing in the hall outside. The sound rippled in the private room. The atmosphere was ambiguous and romantic.
Pu Chulong's throat was dry. She nervously picked up the black tea in front of her and took a sip.
She did not know why she was willing to come to such an ambiguous place with him. But when everyone thought that he was going to play with the unspoken rules, she saw the struggle in his eyes. At that moment, she felt a little distressed.
Songs were the easiest thing in the world to arouse people's hearts. Who knew how many people were inspired by music? Because of music, they fell into depression because of music.
Logically speaking, a person like him with a heart as strong as steel should not be easily affected. However, in reality, he had always been weak in front of kindness. No matter how calm he appeared on the surface, there were ripples hidden in his heart that no one could see.
What's more, today was his birthday.
He actually wanted Eun-thi to accompany him, right?
However, he stubbornly blocked this path.
Eun-thi might or might not know, but it didn't make a difference. He couldn't ask Eun-thi out, and Eun-thi wouldn't agree.
There was a huge crack between them. Even with the Heaven Mending Miraculous Hand, it was impossible to restore it to its original state.
He just needed someone to accompany him in place of Eun-thi, so she came.
Pu Chulong slowly finished the black tea and calmed down.
She put down the teacup. The crisp sound of glass hitting glass was like a fuse that woke Tang Jinyan, who had been silent since he sat down. He also picked up the black tea and drank it all in one gulp. He put down the cup and sighed. "You're quite bold."
Pu Chulong remained silent.
Tang Jinyan said faintly, "Sometimes, I've had such vicious thoughts …"
Pu Chulong turned to look at him.
"I've thought of tying up the Apink members one by one and forcing myself on Jung Eun-thi in front of her. I want to see her expression." Tang Jinyan grinned. "You dare to come out with me alone, and more than once."
The vicious scene he described did not scare Pu Chulong. She just replied seriously, "The grudge between you and Eun-thi shouldn't involve others."
Tang Jinyan was still smiling. "You want to reason with the underworld?"
Pu Chulong whispered, "We … don't think of you as a member of the underworld."
Tang Jinyan said, "So, Jung Eun-thi is the only one who can see my true nature?"
Pu Chulong was stunned. Eun-thi's words flashed through her mind. She sighed and whispered, "Even if I'm wrong, whether you're a bad person or not, I owe you."
Tang Jinyan tilted his head and sized her up. There was some surprise in his eyes. "You've put on some weight again. Are you fulfilling the original conditions?"
Pu Chulong said awkwardly, "Yes."
"But I remember you've fulfilled another condition. You don't have to do this?"
Pu Chulong fell silent. After a long time, she said softly, "Because this is what you want to see."
Tang Jinyan was also stunned. He looked at her for a long time. Finally, he softened his tone and whispered, "I'm sorry. Because of the chain reaction of several things, I couldn't control my temper today. My words and actions were unfair to you.
You … shouldn't be the target of my anger.
You're willing to come out and accompany me. I'm very grateful. "
Pu Chulong looked up at him and then quickly lowered her eyes.
He … looked strong and domineering. In fact, he was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. As long as you treated him well, he would treat you even better.
The atmosphere with Eun-thi was always not harmonious. That was because Eun-thi couldn't soften first. That would lead to an even more unpredictable ending. So Eun-thi could only be stubborn. Then, he would be even more stubborn.
Tang Jinyan got up and opened the door. He called the waiter again and turned with a smile. "I have nothing to repay you with. I can only treat you to a good meal."
Pu Chulong finally smiled. "Okay."
Tang Jinyan found that it was rare to see this girl smile.
There was no other reason. It was because he rarely interacted with them. It could be said that the atmosphere was always more oppressive or formal.
It was rare to see her smile. She looked very cheerful and beautiful. It was not the same as her shy and introverted personality.
Speaking of which, even if she was an introvert, she was braver than anyone else.
How should he say … she was a very responsible captain?
Because of this, she shouldered a lot of things that shouldn't be her responsibility.
Even this time, she bravely stood out to block the bullet hole.
Pu Chulong looked at the menu and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Tang Jinyan shook his head. "I'm not familiar with this pretentious Italian food. I'll eat whatever you order."
Pu Chulong whispered, "It's so expensive."
Tang Jinyan's eyes were in a trance for a moment. Then, he quickly returned to calmness. "It's my own restaurant. It's free. Just order."
"Then, I'll recommend the set meal." Pu Chulong returned the menu to the waiter embarrassedly and stuck out her tongue. "I'm not familiar with it either."
The waiter smiled and left. Tang Jinyan tilted his head and asked, "Are you very poor?"
"Uh … It's okay …"
"Eun-thi used to say the same thing to you.
She's very petty. "
Pu Chulong felt a little embarrassed and retorted, "Isn't that good? Anyway, I'm replacing Eun-thi today. The more I look like her, the better."
Tang Jinyan paused and shook his head. "You only represent yourself. You don't have to replace anyone."
Pu Chulong smiled and shook her head. She didn't refute.
Tang Jinyan said again, "Am I not very promising?
I thought I had already done it when I put it down and said it calmly.
But inexplicably, I was reminded of the past and was in a bad mood. I even took my anger out on you. "
Pu Chulong whispered, "No.
At times like this, I feel that you're a living person. You also have an unforgettable first love and a stubborn and awkward relationship. You're not … "
He wasn't the president of a corporation that was out of reach on TV. He wasn't the omnipotent leader that was rumored to be. He wasn't the big tree that we could rely on in the eyes of the president. He wasn't the gangster with a cold face who took advantage of us.
Only at times like this do I feel that I'm very close to you.
It's a pity that I can't only represent myself.
In your heart, I can never only represent myself.
So, I can only look at you from afar and look up to you with all kinds of lofty labels in the news.
Even if I'm sitting close to you, I can only use the most careful attitude and shout "Chairman Tang nim".
