Zhou Peiyun originally planned on joining them for dinner, but who would’ve expected her to receive a call along the way; there were some problems with one of her actresses, Xiao Xin. She needed to rush back to the company to take a look, so it was only Wang Wenhao and Su Yaya went to dinner together.

Wang Wenhao brought Su Yaya to a private restaurant. It was located in an inconspicuous alley in a bustling city. The restaurant was decorated in an antique style with tables, chairs, and utensils that all imitate the ancient styles. 

“The dishes in this private restaurant taste very good. I came here a couple of times. Yaya, you’ll know after trying them out, and you’ll like it here.”

The owner of the private restaurant was naturally acquainted with Wang Wenhao. As Wang Wenhao escorted Su Yaya to the entrance, the owner enthusiastically welcomed them along with his staff. They greeted Wang Wenhao and brought them to the private room at the back.

After the two sat down the owner had the waiter bring them tea, they then asked the guests what they wanted to eat. Wang Wenhao passed the menu to Su Yaya and asked for her opinion. “Yaya, what do you want to eat? Order it.”

Su Yaya glanced at the menu and was shocked by the prices. They weren’t eating food. They were basically eating money!

Look at the price, a fermented tofu with water spinach costs 55 yuan. She could buy a bunch of water spinach at the wet market for just two yuan. What’s more, the minced pork with egg cost 85 yuan, was the egg a dinosaur egg? Or was this minced meat, dinosaur meat? Su Yaya continued to flip through the menu, but the prices further behind were even more expensive. She didn’t dare to order any dishes because it was way out of her expectations.

While she was complaining internally about how expensive the dishes were, Wang Wenhao commented, “The food tastes delicious here and the prices are reasonable too. It’s not expensive at all. After having a taste, you’ll discover that the food is worth its price.”

Su Yaya glanced at him. How did he know that she thought the prices were too expensive? Could he read her mind?

Wang Wenhao obviously didn’t know what she was thinking. He just watched Su Yaya and seeing that she hadn’t ordered any dishes he thought that she didn’t like the dishes because the prices were too cheap that was why he said this.

Su Yaya clearly misunderstood what he meant, but since she was already sitting here, it wouldn’t look good if she didn’t order so she ordered two slightly cheaper dishes that she liked.

“Okay.” Su Yaya placed the menu back.

“You’re done?” Wang Wenhao looked at her. “Just order whatever you like. It’s fine if you order a lot.”

Su Yaya smiled and said, “I need to maintain my figure.”

Wang Wenhao observed her and said, “You’re not fat and in fact, you’re quite skinny. You need to eat more.”

“I’m going to film an advertisement tomorrow and I will have to eat a lot of white rabbit candies. I will be gaining weight for sure. To make sure I look good on camera, I need to restrain myself.” Su Yaya found a very suitable excuse.

That was the truth, celebrities worked hard to maintain their figures so they would look good in front of the camera. Wang Wenhao understood this so he didn’t force Su Yaya. He ordered a few more dishes himself and then handed the menu to the waiter.

While waiting for the dishes, Wang Wenhao and Su Yaya started chatting about their school days. “When we were in elementary, you were the literature and art committee member and the most beautiful girl. You were great at singing, dancing, and everything else. Everyone liked you, at that time, I sat behind you every day, I would look at your ponytail and I would tug on it sometimes. Do you still remember?”

Su Yaya: “…”

Truth be told, she didn’t remember. The original host didn’t leave this portion of the memory for her either. For a beautiful person like the original host, many people liked her in school, and some of them were naughty boys who wanted to attract her attention like tugging on her hair, teasing her, and pulling pranks while others wanted to please her by buying things for her. This happened frequently and many were good to her, so she obviously can’t remember everyone and Wang Wenhao was clearly one of the people who she didn’t remember.
