Chapter Eleven: Longing for Shao in the Capital

  The place for dinner was chosen at Chus's favorite hotel, Wangfujing Hilton Hotel.

  She remembered that when they opened a hotel meeting, Secretary Zhong Rui had chosen several hotels that were not satisfactory. In the end, she drove herself to inspect according to his taste and finally chose this hotel. The meeting was very successful and a big case was concluded. Since then, whenever he had time, he would always choose to dine here.

  When she was in college, she would also take him to the "bookstore" of the hotel to read books. Chus Han always said that she was petty bourgeoisie, but she never thought so, and she enjoyed her rare leisurely life with ease.

  Although this hotel is a global chain hotel, in this location, compared to other hotels, it appears somewhat small, but does not affect its uniqueness.

  In the midst of a bustling city, yet serene and tranquil, the bookhouse has a great environment, with rows of bookshelves, a lightly burning fireplace, and a lively street scene outside, forming a unique landscape that is characteristic of the bookhouse.

  Here is the translation:

  Have a cup of cappuccino here, a freshly baked croissant, or quietly enjoy a delicious afternoon tea while reading a good book. Look up for a moment and glance at the busy figure of your loved one opposite you. Even just looking like this is enjoyable.

  Later, she went to City A. The busy work had already made her lose that comfortable mood and time. The files and agreements piled up on the office desk were always endless, and the monotonous phone ringing sound was always echoing in her ears. She quietly passed five years in this dull and busy work!

  As usual, Nianqin chose the Thai Tang Chinese restaurant. As Chusen was from Beijing, in this ancient city with a rich cultural atmosphere, many people would have a traditional emotional connection. The Thai Tang Chinese restaurant happened to have a dazzling theater-style decoration, and its dishes combined China's regional characteristics with modern cooking techniques, which suited his fastidious palate.

  The interior is decorated with traditional Chinese utensils and luxurious chandeliers. This place gathers the finest Cantonese, Sichuan, Anhui, and Hunan cuisine, and gives them a unique modern interpretation, making it a great place to dine.

  As soon as she sat down, the considerate waiter handed her a menu and opened it for her with a bow. "Ms. Su, it's been a while since we last saw you! You must take care of yourself despite being busy with work!"

  Although I don't come here often now, the waiters here are particularly thoughtful in serving customers. For regular customers, they will remember their preferences clearly.

  "Ah, thank you!" As she was flipping through the menu, Su Nianqing looked up and smiled gently at the waiter. When she turned her head back, she heard the attendant say: "Young Master Chen is also here, currently at Wan Si Ge."

  "Oh?" Upon hearing this, Nian Qing raised her head, slightly narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "No need to tell him I'm here, lest it disturb his interest."

  "Alright!"

  Su Shaocen's private life has always been secretive, even when the media exposed his many mistresses, he never openly acknowledged their relationship. Now that his grandfather is in the hospital and he still has the mood to go out with a woman for dinner, it seems their relationship is not shallow. If she disturbed his interest, he would definitely settle accounts with her afterwards!

  As she flipped through the menu, she looked up at the man sitting across from her, sipping lemon water alone, and spoke softly: "Spring is a season of high incidence of diseases, and recently the weather has been quite cold. The temperature difference between A City and Beijing is very large, and you're traveling back and forth like this - if you're not careful, it's easy to get sick. During the second spring season, the liver energy in your body is flourishing, so it would be good to order some warm and nourishing food!"

  She noticed that his face was tired, and his skin tone was a bit dull, probably because he had been working too hard for the past few days and hadn't rested well. "First, let's have some Chuanbei stewed pigeon with milk, and then ask the head chef to decide on the other three dishes, all of which should be warm and nourishing. What do you think? Do we need anything else?"

  "It's fine." He put down his cup and turned his head indifferently towards the window.

  She closed the menu and handed it over to the waiter, turning her head to gaze at his handsome profile, slightly dazed.

  It's actually easy to fall in love with him, although he is a bit more aloof than the average man. His attitude towards handling things is crisp and decisive, never backing down once he makes a move. This strong and resolute character has earned her genuine admiration.

  It's undeniable that he is strong in all aspects, perhaps this is why she surrendered her heart so quickly, and for the past five years, she has been running around for him without any complaints or regrets.

  She gazed at his face with infatuation, as if to comfort the longing of the past few days. When they were together, it was mostly her talking and him listening on the side, occasionally giving brief answers to her questions. His handsome face showed no impatience, so she believed this was his usual temperament.

  Deeply in love with this man, even his shortcomings she will tolerate and forgive, seeing his good qualities while ignoring his flaws.

  Women in love are like this, blindly confident and even a bit paranoid.

  "Oh, isn't that Mu Shao! What a coincidence!" Just as she was lost in thought, a not-too-loud-or-soft voice suddenly came from the quiet restaurant, with a strong Beijing accent.

  At the sound, Su Nianqing slightly came back to himself, subconsciously looking towards the source of the sound. Under the emperor's feet, people with the surname Mu were not many, and consumption here was not low either. Those who could come in here were certainly either wealthy or noble.

  On the spacious walkway, several figures were walking towards this side. The man in the lead wore a black woolen coat, elegant and refined, standing among many young men, quiet as if he was a noble aristocrat. His extraordinary demeanor and temperament made it almost impossible for people to look away!

  There are many rich and noble young masters from prominent families, and there are countless playboys who drive sports cars and chase after beautiful women. But someone as elegant and refined as him is rare, and it's surprising.

  After some thought, she finally recognized who this person was - someone she had seen just that morning at the airport.

  She rarely saw Chusen Han being so polite to anyone, and the appearance of this man was quite unexpected.

  She came back to her senses and patted Chu Si Han's hand, calling out softly, "Si Han, do you know him?"

  Turning her head, Chu Suhan quietly withdrew his hand and looked in her direction, his dark eyes slightly narrowing as he slowly stood up. Meanwhile, Mu Yichen, who was chatting with the friend who had just greeted him, also noticed them and elegantly paused his steps, quietly looking over at them.

  Chu's face was cold and indifferent, but he didn't lose his respectful demeanor as he nodded slightly at Mu Xi, just like at the airport, even though he was being aloof, he still remembered to show the proper courtesy.

  Seeing them, Mu Yi Chen hooked up the corner of his mouth with a faint smile, and nodded at them, then turned around, leading the people behind him to walk towards the private room. His elegant and refined figure made the guests in the restaurant involuntarily sigh in admiration!

  One of the three young masters in Beijing, Mu Shao. Everyone here knows that Mu Shao from Xishan No. 1 Courtyard represents - power and wealth!
