Arranged marriage, love blossoms: Marrying into a wealthy family while holding a miniature version o

"Brother, did you book a private room?"

You need to book a table in advance for this restaurant. I don't know if you've made a reservation yet.

Qin Shi kept looking at the person in the rearview mirror.

At that moment, as that soft voice came, his gaze shifted from that deep expression to the face looking at him: "It's ordered."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Okay."

Turning his gaze away, Zhou Yi said to the person beside him, "Sir, Qilixiang Restaurant only serves food at night, not during the day. Because the food is so delicious, many people come specifically to try it. You must make a reservation in advance, otherwise you'll have to wait."

As Zhou Yi looked at Qin Shi, Wenren Chen's gaze fell on the person's face in the rearview mirror, meeting those cold eyes.

As that gentle voice reached his ears, he turned his gaze and stared at her: "Hmm, no rush."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi remembered telling him to eat some fruit, and wondered if he had eaten any.

"Sir, have you had some fruit?"

Wenren Chen's voice was quiet. After two breaths, he said, "I ate."

Zhou Yi clearly sensed Wenren Chen's pause, so she was somewhat skeptical of his words: "Really?"

"Ah."

"..."

Zhou Yi looked at Wenren Chen's expression, but the car was dimly lit, with the streetlights shining in intermittently, illuminating his face. She could see his features and his eyes, but she wasn't sure if what he said was true or false.

The atmosphere inside the car quieted down.

However, not long after, a whirring vibration sound came from inside the car.

Upon hearing this sound, Zhou Yi looked at Qin Shi in the passenger seat ahead.

It was Qin Shi's phone ringing.

Qin Shi took out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and answered, "Hello."

Zhou Yi looked away from Qin Shi answering the phone, handed the phone to Wenren Chen, and whispered, "Sir, here's your phone."

"Ah."

Wenren Chen took the phone. In the dim light, his fingertips touched hers. He moved his fingertips slightly, gliding over her fingertips, and took the phone.

Zhou Yi withdrew her hand and looked out the window.

The car had been traveling on the highway, but now it had exited the highway, and the scenery of the small town came into view.

They are almost here.

A light shone in her eyes, and a smile spread across her face.

"Coming."

"..."

"Three people."

"..."

"Let's talk about it when we get there."

"..."

"Ah."

It was unclear what the person on the phone said, but as Qin Shi answered the call, all other sounds in the car ceased, leaving only Qin Shi's voice.

Zhou Yi heard what Qin Shi said and looked at Qin Shi.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Is there anyone else?

As the phone landed in his palm, Wenren Chen held it, feeling its warmth. His eyes were fixed on the person in front of him, his gaze deep and unfathomable. Under the flickering streetlights, the light fell into darkness, only to be swallowed by it again.

The car quickly stopped outside Qilixiang, and Qin Shi ended the call and hung up.

Zhou Yi opened the car door and got out.

It was already past nine o'clock, quite late, but the area outside Qilixiang was very lively.

It was all vehicles, and people coming and going.

It seems there's still plenty of time.

Zhou Yi stopped outside the car and looked at the brightly lit restaurant in the night. There were all kinds of lanterns inside and out. Guests were moving up and down the stairs, talking and playing music. It was like the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The restaurant was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and full of guests. It was very lively.

The last time Qin Shi brought Zhou Yi here, it wasn't this late, so she didn't think much of it then.

But tonight, so late, the colorful lights here have pushed back the gloom and darkness, creating a truly bustling and prosperous scene.

Wenren Chen got out of the car and stood beside Zhou Yi.

He looked up at the restaurant, which was dazzling in the night.

Because of this restaurant, all the shops on this street are open and lit up.

This place is like a fairyland hidden in a corner of the human world, opening up in the night and is isolated from the mundane world outside.

Qin Shi got out of the car and looked at the person standing next to Zhou Yi: "Mr. Wenren, please come in."

His gesture of extending his hand was a polite gesture from the host.

Wenren Chen said, "Hmm."

Step inside.

Zhou Yi followed Qin Shi inside, who walked on her other side and took her small hand in his.

Zhou Yi's hand was taken, and she turned her gaze away from the restaurant to Qin Shi: "Brother, this place is beautiful at night, even more beautiful than when you brought me here last time."

Qin Shi held her small hand tightly and said gently, "There have been some changes here, but it gets more lively as the night goes on."

"Yeah, I can see it."

Wenren Chen listened to their conversation, his eyes falling on their faces, and then on their clasped hands.

He twitched his fingertips slightly, put his hand in his pocket, and walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant has five floors, with carved beams and painted rafters, and is packed with people.

It was lively as soon as you entered, but the air conditioning was on and there were ice fans running, so it was still cool inside even with the windows open.

Clearly, the boss has a great understanding of elegance.

The first floor was almost full, and people were still coming in from outside.

The people who came in were in groups of several or a dozen. They were talking, and there were even groups of more than a dozen people gathered together, seemingly old friends meeting and exchanging pleasantries with each other.

As Zhou Yi and Wenren Chen Qinshi entered, a man among the dozen or so people gathered around looked over, said something to one of them, and then walked towards them.

Zhou Yi immediately spotted the person walking towards them; he was tall, handsome, and had a smile on his face.

He looked at Qin Shi.

Zhou Yi's eyelashes fluttered as he looked at Qin Shi.

She thought of the phone call her brother had just received in the car; did her brother know this person?

As the man approached, he immediately opened his arms and hugged Qin Shi.

"It's been a long time."

After patting Qin Shi twice, the man released Qin Shi with a broad smile.

Clearly, the men from Qin Shi were quite pleased to see him.

A rare smile appeared on Qin Shi's face: "It has been a long time."

"Then you'll have to stay here tonight. After you've entertained your friends, we'll have a good drink together."

Qin Shi said, "Not tonight."

"Not tonight? Then when?"

“I remember your job as a doctor is in Yunzhou City, not in this Shan City. You have time now.”

After speaking, the man seemed to remember something, looked at Zhou Yi and Wenren Chen beside Qin Shi, and then his gaze fell on Qin Shi holding Zhou Yi's hand.

A look of surprise flashed across his eyes as he looked at Qin Shi: "Girlfriend?"

Wenren Chen heard these three words, looked at the man, and remained silent.

Qin Shi's eyes flickered slightly, and a different look appeared in the eyes behind his glasses: "My sister."

"younger sister?"

"Which one are you..."

After saying that, the man seemed to remember something and stopped talking.

He looked at Qin Shi's expression, then at Zhou Yi, and immediately understood. He smiled and said to Zhou Yi, "Hello, I am Qin Shi's friend, Lu You."

Zhou Yi kept watching the man, watching him exchange pleasantries with Qin Shi.

She stood quietly and obediently beside Qin Shi, without making a sound. Now, upon hearing the man's self-introduction, she was stunned, and then asked, "Are you the Lu You of the poet Lu You?"

Upon hearing her question, Lu You's smile widened instantly: "Yes, the same surname, the same You."

Zhou Yi thought of something for a moment, looked at the restaurant, then at the person in front of her, and then noticed Lu You's clothes, which were very traditional Chinese style. She said, "Are you the owner of Qilixiang?"

Lu You was surprised, then looked at Qin Shi: "Did you tell your sister?"

Qin Shi smiled slightly: "No, she guessed it herself."

"Haha, your sister is so smart."

This is the second time Zhou Yi has been praised tonight.

She smiled shyly, then looked at Wenren Chen.
