Chapter 45: More Enjoyable Date with Gu Chuan or Shen Mingxuan?

“Try this crab and see how it tastes,” Gu Chuan said, placing a plate of peeled crab meat in front of Jiang Mi.

Jiang Mi took a bite and smiled with her eyes squinting happily. “The meat is tender and has a slight sweetness.”

At this moment, Lu Yu, trembling slightly, said, “Mimi, that bite you just had cost several thousand dollars.”

Jiang Mi nodded with a smile, “Yes, it’s worth it. The taste is indeed excellent.”

Lu Yu nearly fell apart. Was that the point?

The point was that this seafood feast was outrageously expensive!

Just one bite, and she really wasn’t afraid the production team might sell them all?

The guests on the dating show included celebrities like Shen Mingxuan, Bai Ruoruo, and Chen Wanruo as well as industry leaders like Fu Li, and wealthy individuals!

Even with their grand experiences, they couldn’t help but marvel at the value of this seafood feast!

It was so high, it made them hesitant to start eating!

“Enjoy it if you like it,” Gu Chuan said, peeling another lobster for Jiang Mi. He then looked at the others and added, “You all should eat more too.”

The crowd forced smiles, their expressions faltering. Did Gu Chuan just speak like the host of the feast?

Before they could ponder this further, the director, wiping the sweat off his forehead, explained, “We have a new sponsor today. Ahem, the sponsor has a big event today and has generously treated us to this seafood feast. Don’t be shy, dig in!”

Cheng Lin, who was familiar with the elite figures in A City, was even more curious, “Which sponsor?”

The director glanced at Gu Chuan, who remained calm and composed, peeling crab shells while Jiang Mi leaned in and whispered something to him. The atmosphere between them was full of pink bubbles, making the director want to scratch his head!

“Ahem, why ask so many questions? Just eat.”

With that, the director hurried off. The camera crew had already moved to grab seafood, and he had to catch up.

Such luxurious seafood might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Anyone who was slow would miss out!

Despite the director’s hasty departure, everyone caught his subtle glance as he left.

The glance was directed at Gu Chuan!

Did this matter have something to do with Gu Chuan?

Wait, didn’t Gu Chuan and Jiang Mi seem to have semi-announced their relationship today?

So, the good news from the sponsor might be that Gu Chuan finally got together with Jiang Mi???!!!

Everyone’s eyes focused on the couple. Jiang Mi was instructing Gu Chuan to remove fish bones with a flirtatious tone, and Gu Chuan, very indulgent, patiently did as she asked before feeding her.

The taste was even sweeter and more delicious.

But then, Jiang Mi looked up to see countless pairs of eyes on them.

“Ahem!” Jiang Mi’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, “Why are you all staring at me?”

“Nothing, nothing.”

“Well then, let’s eat.”

“Maybe it’s someone’s wedding feast. We shouldn’t waste it!”

“Rather than eating dog food, let’s enjoy this seafood feast. One bite is worth ten thousand! Once this village is gone, there won’t be this store anymore!”

Though everyone said this, their peripheral vision still stayed on the couple.

Seeing Gu Chuan handing Jiang Mi a glass of refreshing cocktail, Jiang Mi initially intended to drink directly from his hand but seemed to sense something. She took it herself and politely said thank you.

A cautious couple, how sweet!

Meanwhile, online, the topic exploded.

On one hand, fans were enjoying the sweetness between Gu Chuan and Jiang Mi.

On the other hand, people were investigating the value of the meal. The more they dug, the more shocked they were. A table of seafood worth several tens of millions was far beyond the show’s budget.

Since the director didn’t wear a microphone, his words weren’t heard by the livestream audience. Consequently, people began speculating wildly.

Amid the various theories, one became the mainstream opinion with the help of internet trolls:

Jiang Mi’s sponsor was unhappy with her dating show and her pairing with Gu Chuan, so they made a grand show of wealth to assert their presence.

Fans of Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan naturally didn’t believe this. If it were really the rival’s scheme, Gu Chuan wouldn’t be eating the seafood and pampering Jiang Mi like this.

But if it wasn’t this, what else could it be?

Among those present, besides Cheng Lin and Shen Mingxuan, who could casually spend millions? Both had already ruled themselves out, so it couldn’t be them.

That left only one possibility.

Thus, Jiang Mi’s previously good reputation was subtly tarnished.

Back at the rooftop restaurant, Bai Ruoruo, while eating seafood, was disgusted despite the delicacy, feeling intense hatred inside!

Her intuition was correct—Gu Chuan was definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could he afford such an extravagant meal?

Though Shen Mingxuan was wealthy and treated her well, he wasn’t extravagant enough to spend millions on a meal.

But now, Gu Chuan, just being with Jiang Mi, was this extravagant!

Jiang Mi, the foolish and clueless rich girl, didn’t deserve this!

Bai Ruoruo was filled with jealousy and resentment.

She put down her cutlery and, trying to appear naive and innocent, asked Jiang Mi with a forced smile, “Mimi, did you have a good time on your date with Brother Gu today?”

Jiang Mi glanced at Bai Ruoruo, knowing she must be harboring bad intentions. She smiled and replied honestly, “Yes, I had a great time. By the way, I made some desserts with Gu Chuan for everyone.”

Lu Yu, sensing Bai Ruoruo’s likely malice, deliberately interrupted, “You two made desserts together? Wow, so sweet!”

Bai Ruoruo lowered her gaze, hiding her dark thoughts, and immediately asked loudly before anyone could respond, “So, Mimi, did you have a better time on your date with Brother Gu today, or with Mingxuan-ge last week?”
