Big wantons[1]?
“Let’s go. I think I saw a wanton restaurant just now. The atmosphere there is not bad.” As he spoke, she took the initiative to hold his hand and walked towards a wanton restaurant that they had passed while strolling.
When they arrived in front of this wanton restaurant, the atmosphere was indeed quite good, except… there were no private rooms.
“Two portions of big wantons with preserved egg, and lean meat filling!” Seeing a waiter coming over, Zuo Weiyi ordered two portions with a smile.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they immediately attracted the attention of many customers who were eating, especially some women.
“Wow, that man over there is so handsome…”
“Isn’t that… Shi Yuting, the next president…?”
“You must be mistaken. How could Mr. Shi come to such a place to eat wantons?” Some people who had never seen Shi Yuting face-to-face just felt that a person with a noble status like him would not come to such a small place to eat.
After all, the restaurants he goes to should have few Michelin stars or be owned by a foreign company, right?
Though the atmosphere here was not bad, there was not even a private room!
“But it really looks like him. Although I haven’t seen him with my own eyes, only on TV…”
“Then you must have seen it wrong!
The two girls whispering to each other were not far away, so Zuo Weiyi could still hear them very clearly.
Perhaps a person like Shi Yuting would really not come to such a place to eat?
But such a place was a luxury for her and her mother’s in the past.
While waiting, Shi Yuting’s gaze fell on the paper bag beside her and asked casually, “What did you buy?”
Looking at his gaze, Zuo Weiyi finally remembered the scarf she just bought.
She brought the paper bag to the table and pursed her pink lips. She looked at the man in front of her and said, “I…bought you a New Year’s gift.”
For a moment, Shi Yuting’s heart skipped a beat after hearing her words.
A New Year’s gift?
He had received gifts almost every day since he was young. They were all sent by some women who admired or were infatuated with him. However, in the end, he was so annoyed that he asked Xiang Yi to get rid of all those gifts! They were not allowed to appear in front of him again.
However, when he heard her say that she had bought him a New Year’s gift today, his heart was obviously swayed. He had never felt so happy before.
He reached out and was about to take the New Year’s gift.
However, Zuo Weiyi refused to let go. Instead, she looked at him a little nervously. “You… won’t mind it, right?”
If she did not give him a scarf that cost 98 yuan, she reckoned that he would never have any interaction with such a street vendor for the rest of his life, right?
Hearing her words and seeing the expression on her face, Shi Yuting frowned slightly. “Why should I dislike it?”
God knows, how happy he was right now!
However, he restrained the excitement in his heart.
In the past 28 years, he had never been this eager to know what the present before him was.
In the past, his grandfather would give him a New Year’s gift, but every time, it was a tie.
So in his cloakroom, there were already several drawers of ties!
In the end, he didn’t even need to open the New Year’s gifts his grandfather gave him. He already knew what was inside.
Hearing his answer, Zuo Weiyi let go of the paper bag and pushed the gift to him.
When he opened the gift and saw the familiar brand, he was slightly startled at first. Then, he raised his head and looked at the person opposite him. “You bought this?”
This was an internationally famous brand, and it was handmade. A scarf that costs tens of thousands of yuan.
