Chapter 167: I Don't Need Your Feelings (1)
Jian Cishu's hand froze on the car's door handle. Raising her head, she first looked at Zhao Chengan standing on the other side, then looked back at Shen Jingbin who was riding shotgun and was overcome by a momentary loss of words.
Sitting in the driver's seat Zhao Chengning was unable to see Jian Cishu's look of shock, so he turned to Zhao Chengan standing outside and said, "Don't just stand there gawking, get in and let's go get something to eat."
Zhao Chengan nodded and beckoned Jian Cishu over. After he called out to her, Jian Cishu had a pale face as she closed the car door and slowly s.h.i.+fted over to the rear of the car before slipping into the backseat.
As the car started moving, the scenery outside began to slowly s.h.i.+ft behind them and the interior of the car fell silent as no one spoke a word. After a moment's hesitation, Jian Cishu did her best to make her voice sound as innocent as possible and said, "Brother Chengning, where are we going for lunch?"
"What do you guys want to eat? I'll bring the two of you to lunch. Little Jing and I have already eaten."
At that, the smile that Jian Cishu had worn on her lips immediately disappeared and the glint in her eyes darkened as she slowly repeated, "You've already eaten…"
Zhao Chengan shot a glance at Jian Cishu by his side and noticed that she was feeling down, so he said, "We're not very familiar with City A, do you have any recommendations?"
Shen Jingbin thought for a bit. People from A City preferred spicy food, so the specialties around here were either very mouth-numbing or spicy. Hence she asked, "Do you guys take spicy food?"
Zhao Chengan nodded. "I'm okay with it."
Shen Jingbin straightened her back and turned to look at Jian Cishu. "What about you?"
"Ah?" Upon noticing that Zhao Chengning was looking at her through the rearview mirror, she immediately hid her disappointment and said, "I…I…I don't really want something spicy."
Shen Jingbin thought for a moment before she came up with something. "There's a hotpot place in Fushun Square that's pretty authentic. Their mandarin duck1 soup base is made from boiling ribs. We can try that."
