CHAPTER 169

"You know, for a bold person like you, you sure do blush easily." Then he started the car and slowly drove away from her house.

"I was not blushing. Maybe your eyes are just seeing red. Besides, anyone in my shoes a few seconds ago would be surprised at what you did," she put on her defence game.

"Oh really now? Of all the excuses I have heard so far, I think this one is the lamest," he said nonchalantly.

"You... That was not an excuse. It is the truth," shehe pouted and glared at him.

"Okay. Alright. I hear you. But you look more beautiful when you blush," he winked at her causing Ning Xiaozhi to blush more.

"You... you are just teasing me," Ning Xiaozhi turned away from him.

"Why would I tease my friend?" Ning Xiaozhi gave him a knowing look. Who dies not teas their friends? Teasing is one of the fun things in friendship.

"Alright fine I tease my friends. But I only tease my male friends and not female, okay? Also, you are my only female friend," he said.

"I am not buying that talk. So are you going to tell me, that as handsome and hot as you are, you do not ANY female friends?" She adjusted in her seat so that she could see his expression very clearly, in case he tell a lie.

"Yes, I do not have any female friends. And thank you for the compliment. It is much appreciated," he said and focussed his eyes back on the road.

"Woah. I can't believe it. How is that even possible?"

"It is possible. Anyway, we have arrived," he said and parked the car in a free parking space. He got down from the car and quickly went over to open the door for her.

"Shall we?" Ye Chaoxiang asked with his right hand stretched to her.

Taking his hands, Ning Xiaozhi carefully stepped out of the car and both of them walked into the five-star restaurant hand in hand. The interior view of the restaurant is more spectacular than the exterior view. Ning Xiaozhi was awed and rather tongue-tied.

She remembered how she and Ye Chaoxiang had a long debate over the phone concerning who would foot the bills of the restaurant that will be chosen. Ning Xiaozhi stood her ground on her own decision. She was the one who wanted to treat him to a meal for saving her life. So it is only natural that she picks the restaurant and foot the bills. Simple.

But Ye Chaoxiang would not have it. He said that it is a lack of respect for a woman to plan an outing and pay for something both of them enjoyed together, so he would pick the place they would go to and also pay the bills.

"Ye Chaoxiang, you should have told me we would be dining in a five-star restaurant," she said in a low voice almost like a whisper.

"Well if u had told you, then you would not have agreed to come with me," he whispered back.

"Sigh. Well, it is a nice place," she could not help but compliment.

"I am glad that you like it. That means our date will go well," he said before a waiter approached them.

"Welcome sir, ma'am. Do you need a table or do you already have a reservation?" The waiter asked politely.

"Yeah. I have a reservation under the name Ye Chaoxiang," Ye Chaoxiang answered.

"Yes sir. Please follow me," the waiter bowed before walking ahead of them, leading them to the private room Ye Chaoxiang had booked before their arrival.

Soon enough, they got to the room and took their seats opposite each other. The waiter showed them the menu.

"What would you like to order sir, ma'am?"

"What do you want to eat, Xiaozhi?" He asked.

Ye Chaoxiang did not even touch the menu as he was not interested in it but in her. Whatever she chooses, he would gladly accept.

"What do you want to eat? Why are you not looking at the menu?" She asked with raised brows.

"I will eat whatever you want to eat. So take your time and order what you like," he relaxed casually on his chair.

"Tsk. Such a gentleman. Alright, I will order for both of us. But do not blame me for being a foodie," she warned and started ordering.

"We will have uhm... a bottle of red wine and hot pot please," she said.

"Yes, ma-"

"Wait. Is that the only thing on the menu? I thought you said you are a foodie? I was expecting more dishes," he stopped the waiter from leaving.

"Yeah. That is all. Is there anything you would like to add?" Ning Xiaozhi asked.

"Sigh... Not really though. But we will have desserts after. Uhm... Do you guys have that tiramisu cake?" He asked the waiter.

"Yes, we do sir," came the waiter's polite reply.

"Great. We will have that for dessert then. That would be all, thank you," Ye Chaoxiang said and the waiter left them to get their orders.

"How do you know that tiramisu cake is one of my all-time favourite desserts?" She asked.

"I never knew. I guess I am just too good huh?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

"Yeah, you guess," Ning Xiaozhi rolled her eyes and leaned on the table. "So, you do not have any female friends?" She went back to the topic they were on before they arrived at the restaurant.

"Sigh. Still on that? I am telling the truth. Well not entirely the truth though," he recalled that he does have female friends.

"Aha! I said it. It can never be possible," she rejoiced.

"Do not get too hyped up about it. Look I have three female friends but it boils down to two because one of them is my sister," he said.

"Is she older or younger?"

"Younger."

"Okay. So what about the other two female friends?"
