Chapter 1700: Covenant of Romance
“No, you’re mistaken. I really just wanted to find out what a $55 drink would taste like.”
Ye Qianqian’s expression was earnest as she looked at Shen Zhilie. “Are you telling me that you’ve tasted a drink that cost $55 before?”
When Shen Zhilie saw how earnest she was being, he pursed his lips and didn’t say another word.
After a long moment, he finally calmed down and said, “Good-looking men are all just out to deceive you. If you see another one in the future, keep your distance.”
“That’s not true, and I have an example.” Ye Qianqian looked at him and smiled charmingly. “Look, you treat me really well, don’t you?”
The sudden compliment caught Shen Zhilie by surprise. He found it hard to maintain a straight face. He persevered and held back his smile as he said, “There’s only one such person in the whole world! Keep your distance from all the rest!”
“Alrighty!”
Ye Qianqian saw that he wasn’t angry anymore and cheerily took a mouthful of noodles. She lamented, “But that beverage is really expensive! I wonder what on earth it’ll taste like. To think it actually costs $55! Oh my god, my heart hurts just thinking about it.”
“Regretting your decision now?”
“Yeah!” Ye Qianqian nodded her head with puppy eyes.
Shen Zhilie harrumphed softly at her. “Glad to see that you’re not stupid beyond hope. Since you’ve already ordered it, just have it. It’s rare for you to come all the way here anyway. Just focus on enjoying yourself.”
Ye Qianqian looked at Shen Zhilie as he clasped his hands together in front of him. Looking visibly touched, she said, “Shen Zhilie, you’re really an angel!”
“Ugh. Don’t be disgusting. Finish your meal!”
Ye Qianqian laughed sheepishly and obediently lowered her head to finish the food on her plate.
After all, she was the one at fault.
It was always wise to consider the current situation. She could never go wrong with projecting a better demeanor.
After they had eaten for a while, the young hunk returned. “Hello, Miss.”
When Ye Qianqian saw the tall and sculpted physique of the young man, her eyes turned dreamy again. She remarked, “Oh, you’re back.”
The young hunk bowed slightly and said, “Please sign your name here. May I venture to ask... What is your relationship with the gentleman here?”
As he asked the question, he pointed toward Shen Zhilie.
From the time the waiter had appeared, Shen Zhilie’s expression had gradually turned unpleasant.
When he heard the question, he immediately replied dryly, “I’m her boyfriend.”
The waiter had an expression of realization and asked, “Are both of you from China?”
“Yes.”
“How should I address you?”
“Mr. Shen, and she’s Miss Ye.”
The waiter nodded his head and said, “Please allow me to explain. Your girlfriend’s purchase of the Covenant of Romance has just come into effect. Both of you now have a five-year agreement with our restaurant.”
As the young hunk spoke, he produced two key rings.
The keyrings were exquisitely made and had the restaurant’s name engraved on it.
“Five years from today, perhaps you and this lady will be married with a cute little kid, or perhaps you might no longer be together. But we will help you to keep this memory. When that time comes, all you have to do is to produce this keycard to access this Covenant of Romance.”
Ye Qianqian took the keycard. Her eyes lit up with realization. “So that’s why it’s called the Covenant of Romance!”
“Yes, Miss. I’m willing to wait here for you for five beautiful years. In five years, both of us will look completely different.” The young man was elegant and gentlemanly as he gently reached his hand out.
Such a noble and beautiful gesture made Ye Qianqian’s heart skip a beat.
She gently placed her hand in his. The young man immediately leaned over.
Before he could kiss her hand, his lips were blocked by another hand.
He turned and saw the dark expression on Shen Zhilie’s face. “We Chinese do not like other men kissing our woman,” Shen Zhilie said.
