Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

Saint Virtue Academy.

As school was about to end, Su Xintian walked up to Gu Zhihua and Mo Yiqing. "I'll buy groceries and cook tonight. If you don't mind, let's have dinner at my rented apartment. It'll also be a way to celebrate Xiao Lan's first day at work."

"What are you saying? How could I complain? I haven't had your cooking in so long, I miss it so much." Gu Zhihua swallowed hard just thinking about it.

"I'd be happy to." Mo Yiqing never acted like a rich young lady.

"That's great! I came from my hometown and brought some local specialties. I'm sure you'll like them," Su Xin said with a smile.

"Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. The last time I had it was when my parents came over. I just video-chatted with them yesterday, and they said they'd send some over by express delivery." Gu Zhihua swallowed hard; she really wanted to eat it.

"Hehe, let's pack our things and go," Su Xintian said, adding, "Don't tell Xiao Lan yet. She'll be pleasantly surprised when she comes back and sees a table full of food."

"Okay, let's go." Gu Zhihua took someone's arm with one of them and walked out.

The group went to a nearby supermarket to buy some groceries before returning to their rented apartment together.

When she got home, Gu Zhihua made a phone call to her husband to let him know, and after hanging up, she went to help wash the vegetables.

Mo Yiqing wanted to help, but was pressed down to sit on the sofa. "You stay here and wait obediently."

She had no choice but to sit on the sofa and wait.

The two worked well together, and Su Xintian quickly prepared several dishes.

"Oh right, I forgot to buy some alcohol. This kind of atmosphere just doesn't feel right without drinking." Su Xintian suddenly realized that she had forgotten to buy alcohol.

"It's okay, I'll just order takeout." Gu Zhihua opened her phone and ordered takeout.

Soon all the dishes were served, and the wine was brought over. I checked the time and it was already seven o'clock.

"Xiao Lan should be off work by now, why isn't she home yet?" Su Xintian untied her apron and put it aside.

"Let me make a call and see." Gu Zhihua took out her phone and dialed Xiao Lan's number.

Xiao Lan was already sitting in Liang Tao's luxury car, feeling both nervous and excited.

At that moment, the sound of a cell phone ringing broke the quiet atmosphere in the carriage.

Seeing that it was Gu Zhihua calling, she frowned. Why would she call her at this time?

Liang Tao was driving, looking straight ahead. She glanced at him furtively, then pressed the answer button. "Feed."

"Xiao Lan, where are you? We're waiting for you at your rented apartment for dinner," Gu Zhihua said with a smile.

"Oh, well, it's my first day at work today. I was treating my colleagues to dinner to build good relationships. Why didn't you tell me sooner? What a coincidence." She lied, then secretly glanced at Liang Tao, who was still driving straight ahead and ignored her.

"Oh, I see. It's all our fault for not telling you beforehand. We didn't know you'd become so close with your colleagues on your first day. Well, it's good to spend time with your colleagues. We can get together again anytime." Gu Zhihua told her to drink less alcohol and then hung up the phone.

"Is Xiao Lan not coming back for dinner?" Su Xintian asked.

"Yes, he said it was his first day at work and he was treating his colleagues to dinner." Gu Zhihua understood that interpersonal relationships needed to be maintained.

"Alright then, you must all be hungry, let's start eating," Su Xintian opened a beer can and handed out a can to everyone. "She's not here, so let's eat and drink well on our own."

"Okay, let's have a sip first." Gu Zhihua raised her beer can, and the three of them clinked it together.

the other side.

Only after she hung up the phone did Liang Tao ask, "Your friend?"

"Well, my friend asked me to come back for dinner, and I didn't know how to explain it to her, so I told a little lie. You won't mind, will you?" Xiao Lan bit her lip.

"I understand. You can't exactly say, 'You went out to dinner with a guy you just met,' can you? Although I'm not a bad person and I wouldn't do anything to you." Liang Tao was a master at understanding women's hearts, especially women he had asked out on their first date.

"That's good." Xiao Lan thought to herself, "I actually hope you can do something so I can stick with you."

The two chatted for a while before arriving at a restaurant.

The hotel is upstairs from the restaurant; this is Liang Tao's usual way of picking up girls—he eats and drinks his fill before going up there to do his thing.

Xiao Lan got out of the car and saw the luxurious hotel, which further satisfied her vanity.

The two entered the restaurant, and a waiter politely greeted them, "Welcome! Do you have a reservation?"

The restaurant was very upscale, and someone was playing the violin, creating a very romantic atmosphere.

This was Xiao Lan's first time in a restaurant like this. She was glad that she wasn't dressed in a shameful way. She looked at the other women in the restaurant, and they were all dressed in designer brands.

"It's reserved. The surname is Liang," Liang Tao said.

"Okay, sir, your reserved table is this way. Please follow me." The waiter led the way.

They were led to the floor-to-ceiling window, where the view of the violin performance was excellent.

Liang Tao gentlemanly handed her the menu, "Order whatever you like."

Xiao Lan glanced at the menu and exclaimed inwardly, "Wow, these dishes are so expensive! This is truly the life of the elite!" She had already begun to fantasize about her future good days.

She didn't know what was good to eat, but expensive things must be good, and dishes with signature items must be good too. She randomly ordered a few things, "I have a small appetite, this is enough."

Liang Tao glanced at what she had ordered, then added some more, not forgetting to order a bottle of red wine.

Soon, the waiter brought out all the dishes and helped them decan the wine, pouring it into wine glasses.

"It's a pleasure to meet you today. Let's have a drink first." Liang Tao's aim was to get the man drunk.

Xiao Lan wasn't a big drinker, but she knew that drinking would give her a chance. She picked up her glass, clinked it with his, and downed the drink in one gulp.

"Miss Xiao has a very high alcohol tolerance," he said with a smile.

"We're friends now, just call me Xiao Lan." Her voice became exceptionally sweet.

The sound made Liang Tao's heart flutter. He wondered if her voice would sound even better later.

"May I call you Lanlan?" He looked at Xiao Lan with deep affection in his eyes. "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Xiao Lan, who had never been in a relationship before, was overjoyed by his sweet words. "Mr. Liang, you wouldn't say you fell in love with me at first sight, would you?"

"Look at you, I asked you to call me by my name, but you're being formal and calling me Atao," he said gently, looking into Xiao Lan's eyes. "What if I told you I fell in love with you at first sight?"

"I...I don't know." Xiao Lan turned her head away shyly, her heart really racing from his teasing.

Seeing her expression, Liang Tao knew that things were more than halfway done. He carefully cut the steak and placed it in front of her. "I've cut it for you. Try it and see if it's good?"

Xiao Lan was very touched. Are all rich men in Kyoto warm-hearted? She had seen Mo Yeting treat Gu Zhihua the same way before, and she never thought that she would be pampered like this.
