CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 145 SLAP IN THE FACE, COME TO ME IF THERE’S A PROBLEM

We found a well-known entertainment place around here—Fun City.

The crowd here is mostly made up of young people, young couples, or groups of students.

Looking at the sign by the elevator, there are seven floors in total, but it includes a lot of things. The first floor is a big supermarket, above there’s an arcade, a KTV, a cinema, and also a restaurant.

While waiting for the elevator, Gu Qimiao glanced around. There were quite a few people, then she looked up at Shen Yanchen. His eyes were hidden behind his sunglasses, and it was hard to read his expression. However, she felt that a man with such a strong presence standing out in an entertainment spot like this was somewhat remarkable.

Nevertheless, seeing the reflection of her and him on the glass door, others would definitely think they were a couple.

Wearing high heels, she now stood taller than his shoulders. On the surface, they seemed to match quite well, didn’t they?

"Dingdong—"

The elevator arrived, and Shen Yanchen pulled Gu Qimiao to his side, letting the people inside come out first.

Gu Qimiao, pressed against him, felt the heat from his body on her back, her face quietly turning red.

Stepping into the elevator, he placed her in the corner, then used his tall frame to shield her.

Does he treat other girls like this too? Maybe it’s just his mannerisms and not solely his display of boyfriend power to her.

The elevator was packed with people, yet he created a small space for her.

Almost every floor had people getting off. Gu Qimiao had no idea which floor he was heading to. She just quietly observed him. He remained still, so she stayed quietly in place.

A few young girls nearby were discussing his looks, while he just slightly lifted his gaze to watch the elevator numbers rise. Gu Qimiao sneakily moved a step closer to him, as if silently boasting, I’m with this super handsome guy.

They got out on the top floor. He was in no rush, walking ahead, with Gu Qimiao trailing one step behind him. "Where are we going?" she asked.

He didn’t answer, standing in the lobby looking around. The surrounding area was filled with restaurants. Then, as if targeting a place, he walked straight towards it.

When out with him, Gu Qimiao didn’t need to think much, just happily followed. She thought he was a very assertive and well-planned person.

Little did she know, this certain man on his first date was also a bit flustered in his mind, only putting up a calm front.

Shen Yanchen chose a relatively quiet Chinese restaurant, decorated in a classic Jiangnan style. At the entrance, there was a small water pond with lotus flowers, little pink buds in bloom.

Finding a seat, he said, "You sit here, I’ll go buy something."

Gu Qimiao nodded in a daze, "Okay."

He reminded her again, "Don’t run around." Then he walked to the service counter, gave some instructions, and left the restaurant.

Gu Qimiao felt a little uneasy alone in a strange place. Just then, the waiter who Shen Yanchen had spoken to approached with a menu and smiled, "Miss, your boyfriend asked you to order first."

Gu Qimiao smiled as she took the menu without correcting the "boyfriend" term. Anyway, he didn’t hear it, so she might as well enjoy the small advantage.

After ordering two dishes, Gu Qimiao glanced out the window. This spot happened to face the entrance they had just come through. She searched the crowd below for Shen Yanchen’s figure. Where did he go?

She stared for a few minutes without spotting him. The dishes were already served, yet he hadn’t returned.

Just as she was about to call him, dialing his number, she saw a figure sitting in the seat across from her.

Gu Qimiao quickly looked up, thinking he had returned. But then a nonchalant voice rang in her ear, "Hey girl, eating alone?"

Gu Qimiao looked bewildered. Who was this guy?

"Mind if I join you?"

"Sorry, someone’s already here," Gu Qimiao politely declined.

"That’s fine. Let’s be friends and eat together. How about giving me your number? Maybe we can hang out sometime."

Gu Qimiao hurriedly refused, "No, I..."

Before she could finish, the phone in her hand was snatched away. The guy quickly raised it, entering his number and calling it.

As his phone rang, he cut the call and handed the phone back to Gu Qimiao, "Call me out next time you want to hang."

"Hang out with who?" A cold male voice interjected.

"Brother Yan Chen!" Gu Qimiao immediately felt like she had found her protector.
