Chapter 238: I'm Always Very Careful (2)
"Did you wait long?" He walked up to her and whispered in her ear.
"Hmm? You're here. I didn't wait long, I just arrived too."
Refusing to believe her, Zhao Chengning reached out and grabbed her hand.
Her hands were freezing. It was obvious that she hadn't just arrived.
"It's so cold; why didn't you wait inside?" He said as he frowned and wrapped his hands around hers in an attempt to warm them up.
Shen Jingbin was a little shocked by his actions. "What would you do if you couldn't see me because I was waiting for you inside? Actually, I really just-" She wanted to explain herself, but didn't want to raise her head and meet Zhao Chengning's intense gaze. For a moment, her words were stuck in her throat.
"Let's go in, it's cold outside. Where's Shen Jingchen?"
"He went in first."
Zhao Chengning s.h.i.+fted to holding Shen Jingbin's hand instead of clasping it before leading her in.
The waiter by the entrance was extremely attentive and hurriedly opened the door from the inside for them, eliciting a polite word of thanks from Shen Jingbin as they walked past.
In that instant, the waiter was so moved by her word of thanks that his face turned red.
He'd long since seen this beauty standing outside her stomping her feet due to the cold. The heavens knew how much he wanted to strip his clothes off and hand it to her…
But he was working! It really was exhausting to fall in love.
Thankfully, the person the beauty was waiting for was about to arrive. He felt rather gratified about that.
However, he felt weak at the knees when he saw the beauty's companion.
The beauty turned out to be waiting for B City's golden bachelor, Zhao Chengning! His face was frequently featured in finance magazines and on B City's television stations, so the waiter definitely wouldn't be mistaken!
His younger sister would always kneel and lick the magazines that had Zhao Chengning's picture printed on them!
His heart suddenly felt heavy. In comparison, didn't that mean he had no chance whatsoever?
Sure enough, the beauty belonged to someone else. He'd be better off putting his all into his job.
The first floor of the restaurant was the reception, while the dining area was on the second floor. A waitress with exquisite makeup on greeted them when they entered. Her eyes lit up when her gaze fell on Zhao Chengning, but immediately dimmed when she saw them holding hands.
After asking if any of their companions had arrived beforehand, the waitress took them to where Shen Jingchen was seated.
