Xingze .

Xingze… What a wonderful-sounding name!

Qin Zhou"s words were brought to her mind; very few people seemed to be experienced enough to call him by his first name . He permitted her to do so, though . Did that mean that he considered her as a friend?

Thinking of this, she suppressed her glee by pursing her lips .

Western cuisines were prepared in a similar fashion, yet steak was the most sought-after specialty in Secret·Love for its unique flavor and delectableness .

He decided on some snacks and a medium rare filet mignon with peppercorn sauce . Yun Shishi, conversely, was at a loss!

Flipping through the menu, her eyes were filled with a variety of dishes, including mouth-watering steaks and pastas, as well as visually appetizing snacks, fine desserts, and ice creams . Everything was truly bedazzling to the eye .

She had never ordered western food on her own before . Thus, without anyone guiding her, she did not know what to choose at all . This looked good, and so did the other . She was in a dilemma!

Her stomach was already growling from hunger . To satisfy her greed, she wanted to select a portion of everything, yet she was worried that she could not finish them all, and the food would go to waste . Her eyes then desperately flew toward him for help .

He appeared not to notice her imploring gaze, however . Right now, his attention was occupied with wiping the utensils using a napkin he had retrieved .

Feeling defeated, she dropped her head and agonizingly pouted her lips . She skimmed through the menu again before lifting her gaze and beaming . “I"ll have the same as him!”

She might not know exactly what his order was, but with his palate, it should be delicious! She did trust his preferences .

The waiter bobbed his head in understanding and respectfully asked for clarification . “May I know if you want your filet mignon to have peppercorn sauce and be medium rare?”

She affirmed her order with a dip of her head . The waiter then stored the menus away and took his leave with a smile .

Her lips curled up in satisfaction . She turned around to watch the man wipe his utensils with a napkin a second time . For some reason, her eyes were riveted to his fair and slender fingers .

His hands were so beautiful they looked better than woman"s .

His hands" joints were distinct and his fingers were thin and long . A dazzling ring decorated his pinky .

Though the beautiful hands" owner was holding a fork and a knife now, they were still a beautiful sight to behold .

She suddenly recalled Qin Zhou mentioning that this man was extremely squeamish about cleanliness . Puckering her lips, she copied his action and seriously wiped clean her utensils with a napkin, too .

“Oh, it"s Xingze!”

A saccharine voice rang out and interrupted the ongoing comfortable silence .

She lifted her gaze, looking perplexed . A woman in a glamorous black dress and expensive makeup stood at the side of the booth .

Besides the woman stood another who was dressed just as beautifully, and sophisticated, as her .

The two, who paired off for a meal, walked past their booth and unexpectedly saw Gu Xingze!

He rarely visited a restaurant like this for a meal, so the woman was very surprised . Still, as stunned as the woman was… She then cast her sight onto Yun Shishi and was somewhat in doubt . Who was this gal sitting across him?

Dressed innocently like a student, she appeared prim and proper . However, unlike a young mistress from a rich family, she seemed to be just an ordinary citizen . Was she a newbie actress?

The woman could not help being startled . She seldom saw him with a girl like this .
