Chapter 807: Is He Your Boyfriend?

Wen Chi looked at his phone and was stunned for a while before he pressed the answer button.
“Dr. Wen, where are you? Have you gone home? I’m at the hospital now. If you are still here, I’ll send you home.” Gu Huanhuan secretly complimented herself for being such a nice person as she spoke. She was so thoughtful and considerate.
“Sure, I’m at the hospital main entrance driveway now. Pick me up here.” Wen Chi said matter-of-factly.
Of course, Gu Huanhuan didn’t mind doing it. After all, it was her fault that his car was at the workshop.
After Gu Huanhuan picked Wen Chi up, she asked tentatively, “Would you like to drive?”
“Nah. You drive. Please send me to a place where I can eat. I’m hungry. Join me.” Wen Chi extended the dinner invitation to Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Huanhuan rubbed her growling stomach. She hadn’t eaten much today too. So, she didn’t play hard to get and agreed. What was there to be afraid of?
However, just so she wouldn’t be recognized, she drove them to a private dining place that she frequented.
“The owner of this private kitchen is nice. He only serves a table tops a day, but his dishes taste excellent. Not many people know this place.” Gu Huanhuan explained, worried that Wen Chi would look down on the place.
“I’m fine with anything.” Wen Chi said indifferently. He just needed to fill his stomach. He had been easy with food since he moved out from his parents’ place. His mother would nag him whenever he went home to eat, so he ate there less and less often now.
When they arrived at the restaurant, there was an empty table. How lucky…
Not long after they sat down, the boss walked over to their table. He was about fifty and looked very kind. The private kitchen didn’t have any menu, so patrons could only order common home-cooked dishes.
“Miss Gu, what brings you here today?” It was obvious that Gu Huanhuan was a regular customer and the boss was very familiar with her. Before Gu Huanhuan could even answer his question, the boss’ eyes lit up as he said, “Oh, I get it now. So, you brought your boyfriend here for dinner. Thank you for patronizing my private kitchen. I’ll definitely make you a tableful of delicious food.”
The boss smiled knowingly as he spoke.
Gu Huanhuan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face instantly turned red as she explained quickly, “No, no, you’ve misunderstood. We’re just friends.”
Gu Huanhuan stole a glance at Wen Chi, who was sitting across from her. He looked very calm, as if he did not hear the boss’ comments. Only then did she feel a little less nervous.
“What would you like to have?” Gu Huanhuan asked Wen Chi. She didn’t know his taste.
“Anything is fine. You come here often, why don’t you order?” Wen Chi said casually.
“Alright then.” Gu Huanhuan thought for a moment, then said to the boss, “Boss, we’ll have a steamed turbot, a tofu dish, a beef fried egg, and your soup of the day.”
The boss quickly wrote her order and said, “Got it. Please wait a moment.”
After the boss left, Gu Huanhuan said with embarrassment, “The boss was just joking. Don’t mind him.”
Wen Chi glanced at her and asked, “What did the boss say?”
“That you’re…” Gu Huanhuan swallowed her words suddenly. Fortunately, she did not say the words “my boyfriend”, or it would have been really embarrassing.
“Nothing.” She immediately corrected herself. Gu Huanhuan felt like she had been acting like a lunatic.
Soon, their dishes were served. They were all delicious and appetizing.
“Let’s dig in.” Gu Huanhuan picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu and ate it with relish. The tofu was very tender and smooth; it was a dish that made people want to go back for more.
