Yu Qingwei's heart was pounding with nervousness, and she felt that this couldn't go on. 'You...' 'Secure your seatbelt.' Both spoke almost at the same time. Yu Qingwei froze, seatbelt? What seatbelt? Looking down, she indeed saw a black seatbelt already fastened across her chest. Chen Lidan asked, 'What were you about to say just now?' Yu Qingwei immediately shook her head: 'Nothing, where... where shall we go for dinner?' Chen Lidan turned and got into the car, saying, 'You'll know when we get there.' Yu Qingwei rolled down the car window, pretending to look at the scenery that was rapidly receding outside, but in her heart, she sighed softly, 'Oh, how embarrassing,' thinking he was going to do something to her, andI'm glad I didn't say it，Otherwise, she would really have no face to see him again。 Chen Lidong turned his head and glanced at Yu Qingwei，But I only saw a dark back of the head，The corners of the mouth slightly curled upwards, revealing a hint of a smile。 Chen Lidong took Yu Qingwei to a French restaurant on Chengde Road。 Looking at the big French sign in front of me，Yu Qingwei couldn't help but feel a headache，Because the most important aspect of French cuisine is table manners，For example, even if the stool is comfortable，Sitting posture should be upright，Don't lean back on the chair。When eating, the body can lean forward slightly，Both arms should be tightly attached to the body，To avoid hitting the fence。

fortunately didn't say it out loud, otherwise she really wouldn't have the face to see him again. Chen Lidan glanced at Yu Qingwei, but all he saw was a dark back of the head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of a smile. Chen Lidan took Yu Qingwei to a French restaurant on Chengde Road. Looking at the large French sign in front of her, Yu Qingwei couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, because French cuisine pays the most attention to table manners. For example, no matter how comfortable the chair is, one should maintain a straight posture and not lean back in the chair. When eating, the body can lean forward slightly, and the arms should be close to the body to avoid bumping into the partition.

When using cutlery, one should start with the utensils farthest from the plate and work inward. After finishing each dish, place the knife and fork side by side on the plate, with the fork tines facing up. All these rules are in place to dine with a noble air. She used to complain to Huo Liyang about whether this was dining or just eating elegance. Huo Liyang would pinch the tip of her nose and say, 'Just endure it a little longer, once you've learned, I'll take you to eat your favorite hot pot.' Then she would laugh like a fool. In truth, what made her happy wasn't the hot pot, but having him by her side. Chen Lidong handed the car keys to the doorman, then extended his arm for Yu Qingwei to hook onto: 'Let's go.' Yu Qingwei looked at him in a daze and then hooked her arm around his, just as dizzy. This French restaurant is said to be a one-to-one replica of the decoration style of the French flagship store, and the antique arrangement indeed has a strong exotic flavor. Moreover, both the waitstaff and the head chef are authentic French. The menu is also in French, which Yu Qingwei had been forced to study by Huo Liyang for a while, so she can basically understand it. What surprised her was that Chen Lidong could actually converse fluently in French with the waitstaff. She had thought Chen Lidong was the kind of old-fashioned person through and through. Onion soup, escargot, oysters, and foie gras are all famous French delicacies, and the most famous way to eat escargot is with garlic butter cooked escargot.

Yu Qingwei didn't particularly care for snails; her preference was for French seafood puff pastry with cream sauce. It was made with smooth cheese and tangy sour cream, baked onto crispy potato skins, paired with a special South American fish salad, tender salmon, plus vibrant green peppers and French onion soup. The combination was tangy and sweet, an appetizing delight. Looking at Chen Lidan, she noticed he had ordered something quite similar. She thought to herself that their tastes weren't so different after all. After placing their orders, Yu Qingwei casually asked, "You speak French so well, you must have studied abroad in France, right?" Chen Lidan glanced at her and then replied indifferently, "No." "Oh." "But I did have a French girlfriend once." "...Really? Is that so?" What was there to boast about! After the meal, Yu Qingwei asked again, "Why exactly did you want to see me?" Chen Lidan handed her four sets of documents: "Choose any you like, buy the one you prefer. If you like them all, you can buy them all." He then placed a black credit card beside her hand: "Add whatever else you like, there's no PIN." Yu Qingwei flipped through the documents and saw that they were introductions to luxury villas, with detailed descriptions of location, transportation, size, decoration, and layout. Without looking further, she guessed the rest would be similar. She closed the documents and asked casually, "Are you buying a house?" "Not just me, us." "What do you mean?" "What I mean is, since we're married, we naturally should have our own marital home. Do you plan to live with your parents for the rest of your life?"

Yu Qingwei's hand, hidden beneath the table, tightened. The idea of buying a house meant that she would no longer have to face Madam Chen and Chen Hanxue every day, which was certainly good. But it also meant that she would have to live alone with Chen Liedong, a wave of intense insecurity sweeping over her heart. After struggling for a while, she pushed the documents and credit card back together, her eyes lowered, and said indifferently, 'Can the commander and his wife agree? The elderly must hope that their children can be by their side.' This was a refusal. Chen Liedong's gaze fell coldly on Yu Qingwei's face, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate her heart and see through her thoughts. He was silent, as if he was judging every word she said, to see if it was true or false. After a long time, he snorted coldly, 'Yu Qingwei, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it yourself.'
