The food arrived shortly after they ordered . Both of them ordered the signature steaks and the chef’s recommended dish .
Ai Ruili ordered a bottle of red wine .
A tall and slim waiter served the food and uncorked the bottle of wine . He was about to pour the wine when Ai Ruili raised her head with a smile . “Thank you . We’ll do it ourselves later . ”
The waiter bowed politely and placed the bottle down .
They were left alone, and Su Yan removed his coat . He unclipped his cufflinks and rolled up his sleeves .
He began to cut his steak quietly and elegantly .
“President Su, have some wine . ” Ai Ruili raised the bottle as she offered to pour it into Su Yan’s glass .
Su Yan glanced at her and opened his mouth .
Ai Ruili noticed it and she halted her movements and stared at Su Yan .
Su Yan didn’t utter a word and continued to cut his steak in silence .
As the saying goes, silence means consent .
Ai Ruili smiled and tipped the bottle . Then she poured some for herself .
She placed the bottle on the table and raised her glass to give Su Yan a toast . “President Su, let’s have a toast . To a pleasant working relationship . ”
Su Yan put his cutlery down and raised his glass . He clinked his glass with her, and said, “To a pleasant working relationship . ”
Both took a sip of their wine .
Ai Ruili glanced at Su Yan and smiled . “I’m surprised . ”
Su Yan raised his eyebrow and waited for Ai Ruili to continue .
Ai Ruili replied, “I was surprised that you agreed to have dinner with me today . I know that you are a busy man . Every time I meet you, we don’t even have time to talk . ”
Su Yan curled his lips and apologized . “Sorry, I wasn’t considerate enough . ”
Ai Ruili waved her hands to dismiss his apology . “It’s fine . All successful businessmen are busy . ”
She took another sip of the wine .
Her seductive red lips sparkled under the light, and the wine on her lips made her exceedingly attractive . Any man would find it hard to resist her charm .
No one knew if she was deliberate or not, but she didn’t use a napkin to dab at her lips . She smiled invitingly at Su Yan .
However, Su Yan’s attention didn’t linger on her at all . After a fleeting glance, he continued to eat his steak .
He had a long day, and he had to discuss work during lunch . He had nothing for teatime, and he was famished by now .
Ai Ruili was a little disheartened when she saw how engrossed Su Yan was in the food . She picked up the napkin to wipe her mouth .
She too picked up her cutlery and began to eat .
She was a famous celebrity and had lots of fans . Even if she was interested in a man, she wouldn’t act like a smitten fool .
The silence stretched between them throughout the entire dinner .
After paying the bill, Su Yan and Ai Ruili left the restaurant . As Ai Ruili walked, she put on a pair of sunglasses .
“Be careful!”
They exited through the revolving doors, and a plump woman entered with a little girl .
Ai Ruili recalled something, and she glanced at Su Yan . “President Su, the girl in your office the other day . Is she your niece?”
