Gu Huanhuan said goodbye to Shen Weiwei at her hotel room door. Once inside, she quickly sent her room number to Wen Chi.
A moment later, there was a knock at the door. She looked through the peephole and, seeing that it was Wen Chi, immediately opened the door.
As soon as he stepped in, Wen Chi closed the door behind him. Gu Huanhuan, without worrying about her gown, threw her arms around Wen Chiâs neck and climbed onto him.
âSurprised?â Wen Chi asked, giving her a quick kiss.
âMore like shocked,â Gu Huanhuan replied with a hint of irritation.
âWhy? You donât like that I came to see you?â Wen Chi said casually.
âIâm happy, but you should have given me a heads-up. We almost got caught,â Gu Huanhuan scolded.
âNo worries, I handled it perfectly,â Wen Chi chuckled.
The problem was that she couldnât control herself. Seeing him made her want to leap into his arms.
âI need to change clothes. Letâs go out to eat; Iâm starving,â Gu Huanhuan said as her stomach growled.
âHmm, youâve lost so much weight. Havenât you been eating well?â He noticed how light she felt when he hugged her.
Gu Huanhuan replied proudly, âThatâs something everyone envies.â
Wen Chi felt a twinge of concern. Despite her makeup making her look spirited, he could see the exhaustion in her eyes.
âAlright, these few days, Iâm going to fatten you up,â Wen Chi declared determinedly.
Gu Huanhuan couldnât help but roll her eyes. What woman liked being called fat?
But she was indeed hungry. Gu Huanhuan quickly changed into casual clothes: jeans and a white T-shirt, topped with a baseball cap.
Hand in hand, they left the hotel. âWhat do you want to eat?â he asked.
âAnything,â Gu Huanhuan pouted her pink lips.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI dread hearing âanything,'â Wen Chi said, glancing around.
In the end, Gu Huanhuan chose a Korean royal cuisine restaurant.
As they approached the entrance, Wen Chi hesitated, âAre you sure you want to eat here?â
She had just mentioned dieting, and now she wanted barbecue. Women were indeed unpredictable.
âYou donât want to eat here?â Gu Huanhuan stared longingly at the marbled beef on the poster, swallowing a few times.
âIf you want to eat here, then letâs eat here,â Wen Chi said, pulling her inside. Typically, he avoided barbecued foods, being health-conscious as a doctor.
The server greeted them, âWould you like a private room or to sit in the main hall?â
âPrivate room,â Gu Huanhuan replied sweetly.
The server gave her an extra glance, probably thinking she looked like a celebrity.
Gu Huanhuan turned her face away, feeling a bit self-conscious.
The server led them to a private room on the second floor, decorated in a Korean style without chairs. They had to remove their shoes and sit cross-legged.
The server handed them the menu, and Gu Huanhuan scooted closer to Wen Chi. âWhat do you want to eat?â
âOrder what you like. Iâm not picky,â Wen Chi said, playing the role of a well-behaved companion.
Gu Huanhuan nibbled on her finger while she thought, then began ordering without hesitation: marbled sirloin, steak, stir-fried rice cakes, bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms, ginseng chicken soup, king prawns, fruit saladâ¦
âAnything else you want?â Gu Huanhuan asked Wen Chi.
âThatâs enough for now. If itâs not, we can order more. Also, can we get a pot of Longjing Tea?â Wen Chi politely requested.
The server nodded with a smile, then hesitated before asking Gu Huanhuan, âExcuse me, are you the actress Huanzi?â
Gu Huanhuan nearly choked but then nodded graciously, âYes, I am.â
The server was suddenly excited, âCould I get your autograph? I just watched your movie, âMeeting By Chance.â It was fantastic. Donât worry, Iâll keep it a secret.âT
Gu Huanhuan, beaming, signed her name.
