Chapter 153: Queen, Whatever Makes You Happy
“Miss Jie’er.” Ye Chuxiao politely stood up and bowed to Tang Jie’er.
Tang Jie’er looked at Ye Chuxiao, pursed her lips, and smiled, as a form of acknowledgment.
“Jie’er.” Lin Chusheng walked over and took Tang Jie’er’s hand.
The two people in love had a fiery warmth even in their gazes.
Tang Jie’er tiptoed and spontaneously gave Lin Chusheng a kiss on the lips.
“Jie’er, I love you!” Lin Chusheng responded passionately in French by Tang Jie’er’s ear. He put his arm around Tang Jie’er’s slender waist and led her to the dining table.
Ye Chuxiao was still standing there, her face slightly flushed. The creators of the scene acted as if no one else was present, while the onlookers felt shy.
Ye Chuxiao felt unaccustomed to such a scene. She thought about how Senior Student Ziyi had called her earlier and wondered why she hadn’t thought to invite Senior Student Ziyi to join them for dinner.
It would be better to have two people watching than one, right? Otherwise, it would be too awkward.
“Jie’er, sit.” Lin Chusheng gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Tang Jie’er.
Tang Jie’er gracefully sat down.
The waiter respectfully presented the menu, and Lin Chusheng thoughtfully placed it in front of Tang Jie’er, first asking for her opinion.
Tang Jie’er ordered the dishes, and Lin Chusheng informed Ye Chuxiao, asking if she needed anything added.
Ye Chuxiao smiled and said, “No need, everything is fine.”
Lin Chusheng suggested, “Xiaoxiao likes steamed scallops. Jie’er, why don’t we replace the baked crab shells with steamed scallops?”
Tang Jie’er’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she pouted, looking displeased. “Steamed scallops are too bland; they have no flavor.”
Lin Chusheng awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth and then said, “How about adding steamed scallops? It doesn’t matter if there’s an extra dish.”
Tang Jie’er didn’t speak, her lips even pressed tightly together. She closed the menu and pushed it towards Lin Chusheng.
The girl’s little temper seemed to be a complaint: You asked me to order, and then you think what I ordered is wrong? If you have so many opinions, why don’t you order yourself?
Ye Chuxiao didn’t want Miss Jie’er and Brother Chusheng to have a conflict. She said gently, “Let’s not have steamed scallops. I’ve eaten them many times before and want to try other dishes. The dishes Miss Jie’er ordered sound good; I want to try them.”
Tang Jie’er’s expression improved slightly, but she didn’t become any more friendly towards Ye Chuxiao because of her agreement.
Tang Jie’er and Ye Chuxiao had different auras.
Miss Tang exuded a Queen-like temperament, while Ye Chuxiao was like a girl next door. Although her family background was several levels higher than Tang Jie’er’s, her upbringing made her easygoing and well-behaved.
Dishes were served one after another, and most of what Tang Jie’er ordered was seafood.
Seafood was a bit troublesome to eat, so Lin Chusheng handled it for Tang Jie’er first, which was very considerate.
Tang Jie’er looked at her boyfriend, who was pampering her, with affectionate eyes, and the two were once again full of love and affection.
Lin Chusheng couldn’t spare any attention for Ye Chuxiao. He said apologetically, “Jie’er and I have been busy with official business since returning from France and haven’t had a chance to see Xiaoxiao. Inviting Xiaoxiao to dinner is also to celebrate Xiaoxiao’s excellent grades in Advanced Mathematics.”
“Oh? Xiaoxiao’s Advanced Mathematics is very good?” Tang Jie’er looked at Ye Chuxiao. “What grades? The preliminary results for the National College Student Mathematical Modeling Competition?”
“No,” Ye Chuxiao said sheepishly, “it’s the final exam grades.”
“What score did you get? Enough to celebrate?”
Lin Chusheng briefly explained Ye Chuxiao’s situation to Tang Jie’er.
Tang Jie’er’s lips curved up. “Eighty-nine points? Heh, but the make-up exam score of one hundred is quite interesting!”
