The Beautiful Time With You

After that, Lin Jiage fell completely silent.

Shi Yao put down her phone, and as she ate, she apologized to Han Jing, “Senior Han, I’m sorry. I might not be able to go back with you later.”

“I got a message about a grandfather who’s always treated me very well. His condition has gotten worse, and he wishes to see me. I’ll be heading to the hospital to meet him later.”

“I see…” Even though Han Jing had his confession rejected, he still had no intention of giving up yet. So, he quickly replied, “…Should I call a taxi and go with you to the hospital?”

After which, he quickly added, “Which hospital is it?”

“It’s fine, there’s no need for that. There’s already someone driving over to pick me up,” Shi Yao quickly replied. A short moment later, she added, “Thank you, Senior Han.”

Han Jing smiled. “Shi Yao, there’s no need for you to be so polite with me.”

…

Heh, it’s only right for her to be polite!

Lin Jiage grumbled silently before raising his hand to beckon the waitress for the bill.

When he headed to the front counter to pay, Lin Jiage said, “Help me add the bill for Table 46 to my total as well.”

The waitress was slightly taken aback by those words. Feeling that she might have heard wrong, she asked again to confirm, “Mister, you mean that you wish to pay for both Table 45 and Table 46?”

Lin Jiage nodded, as miserly with his words as ever.

“Alright, Mister. Please give me a moment,” said the attendant as she began typing in the bill.

After the grand total was calculated, Lin Jiage passed over a credit card and began to type in his pin number. Due to his outstanding looks, the waitress couldn’t help but sneak several peeks at him. Out of curiosity, she asked, “Mister, why are you footing the bill for Table 46 too?”

The waitress was in charge of serving Tables 41 to 50, and she happened to hear Han Jing’s confession to Shi Yao as well. Lin Jiage didn’t respond to her question, but that didn’t quench her fiery passion for gossip, “Mister, are you also interested in that lady, just like the other mister at Table 46?”

Was this waitress blind? How could he possibly be the same as that mister?

Even before he was born, their relationship had already been confirmed. As for that mister… heh…

Lin Jiage continued with his silence, but the strength he exerted in his signature was clearly much more forceful.

Feeling irritated, he signed the receipt, put down the pen, and headed straight for the door. Two steps later, he suddenly remembered something and walked back to the front counter. Facing the waitress who had just handled his bill, he said, “Later, when those two at Table 46 leave, it’s enough if you tell them that the bill has already been paid. Don’t tell them anything unnecessary.”

The waitress nodded, but she couldn’t help herself from asking, “Why?”

Lin Jiage didn’t reply. However, such were his thoughts when he left, ” Why? The reason is simple. Those who wish to court Soft Bun must have his approval. As long as the other party doesn’t have his approval, he won’t even give that person a chance to foot the bill! ”

…

“Mister, Miss, someone has already paid the bill for your table.”

As Shi Yao and Han Jing were fighting with one another for the bill, the waitress suddenly informed them of this with a smile.

The both of them were bewildered for quite some time before they left the restaurant.

By then, the Lin Family’s driver had already arrived, so Shi Yao and Han Jing parted at the entrance of the restaurant.

They headed towards the hospital, and after driving along the night streets of Beijing for around twenty minutes, the driver’s phone suddenly rang.

Shi Yao had no idea who was calling, but the driver replied with a respectful “Yes” several times before hanging up. After which, he turned to her and said politely, “Miss Shi, Auntie Sun called earlier to say that Old Master Lin has already retired for the evening, so you don’t need to visit the hospital so late at night. Allow me to drive you back to the campus instead.”
