My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1018 Do Not Want To Return

The restaurant was small but clean and well-maintained.

Lu Tiance was taller than the average man and exuded a domineering aura. He attracted the attention of everyone the moment he entered the restaurant.

Fortunately, there was a private room on the second floor. It was tiny, but it could at least separate him from the others, allowing him to have his own space.

Rong Rong's almond-shaped eyes were sparkling with delight. She was pleased to be able to have supper with him.

Lu Tiance pulled the chair further backward. He had long legs, so the chair needed to be distanced from the table more for him to be more comfortable.

Rong Rong grinned as she stared at him. “Tiance, why are you so tall?”

Her question was supposed to be a joke, but Lu Tiance earnestly answered, “My parents are tall, so I've been taller than my peers since I was young.”

Rong Rong giggled. “Tiance, why're you so serious?”

Lu Tiance did not seem to understand what Rong Rong meant. You asked me a serious question, so I answered honestly. If I'm not being serious or honest, how should I reply?

“All right. Let's stop talking about this.” Rong Rong handed him the menu. “Tiance, order whatever you like. I'm not short of money.”

Her words, “I'm not short of money,” was primarily said in response to the doubts in her classmates' group chat.

All her classmates were surprised that Rong Rong would consider the price when it came to spending. It made her worry that Lu Tiance would also suspect that she had financial problems.

Lu Tiance nodded to show that he believed her. “I know you have money. I won't hesitate.”

The waiter at the side was confused to hear their conversation.

She's treating him and also assuring him that she isn't short of money.

The waiter had never seen such a weird combination and found it intriguing.

Although the restaurant was famous for its grilled meat, they also had other tasty dishes for supper.

Rong Rong ordered a bunch of food in one go. She was in a good mood today. Hence, she wanted to have a big meal.

She asked, “Tiance, which alcoholic drink would you like?”

From Rong Rong's understanding, a man like Lu Tiance would definitely drink alcoholic drinks.

Lu Tiance did not disappoint Rong Rong. He immediately answered her, “Any hard liquor will do.”

Rong Rong was stunned momentarily before she broke into a grin.

D*mn! How manly!

She turned to look at the waiter. “What's the strongest alcoholic drink you have here? Bring us a bottle.”

“It's Erguotou,” the waiter replied.

Rong Rong felt that Erguotou was such a cheap and ordinary drink. She was about to ask the waiter if there was anything more expensive when Lu Tiance answered, “We'll have that. Get us a bottle of it.”

“Is that all right?” Rong Rong asked. “Why don't I go to a nearby supermarket and see if they have—”

“This will do,” Lu Tiance replied.

“Okay. I can't join you in drinking such strong liquor, but I can have a bit of red wine.”

“All right.” Lu Tiance nodded in acknowledgment.

The liquor soon came, but it was only a tiny bottle.

Lu Tiance waved his hand and said, “I want a bigger bottle.”

The waiter was shocked. Does he want to drink a big bottle of this himself?

He was about to take the small bottle of Erguotou away, but Lu Tiance gestured for him to leave the small bottle on the table. Since he had already brought it here, there was no need to take it away.

Rong Rong widened her eyes in shock. “Tiance, are you going to drink a big bottle and a small bottle of Erguotou?”

Lu Tiance answered casually, “You're the one who said you have money.”

Rong Rong chuckled. I didn't expect him to have a sense of humor.

“That's right! I'm not short of money! Tiance, go ahead and order whatever you want!”

The grilled meat needed some time to prepare, so Rong Rong asked the waiter to serve the appetizers first.

Lu Tiance ate some of the appetizers while drinking the Erguotou. Soon, the small bottle was finished.

His expression remained unchanged as he leaned against the chair and waited patiently for the grilled meat.

Rong Rong rested her chin on her hand as she stared at Lu Tiance happily.

On the other hand, Lu Tiance lowered his head slightly in embarrassment at her staring.

How cute. I didn't expect him to get embarrassed. It's so peculiar to see a dense man like him feel shy.

Regardless, Rong Rong also felt uncomfortable staring at him. Hence, she slightly adjusted her posture and... continued to stare at him.

Despite appearing to be a gentle and graceful woman, she was also someone who dared to sing open- mic at bars in Livingsfill and tour other countries like the entire mainland Epea alone.

That was more than enough to show she was a tough woman at heart.

It took me almost two years to find him. It's only natural for me to stare at him.

Lu Tiance was a straightforward person. He glanced at Rong Rong and voiced his discomfort, “Can you stop looking at me like that?”

Rong Rong flashed him a smile. “Why should I? There are only the two of us here. Who should I look at if not you?”

Lu Tiance pondered over it. Hm. That makes sense. Whatever. She can stare at me if she wants to.

At that moment, the waiter returned to serve the grilled meat, immediately alleviating the awkwardness in the room.

The portion of the grilled meat was huge and much more than Lu Tiance and Rong Rong expected.

The grilled meat was steaming hot and smelled delicious, filling the room with a tempting scent.

Even Lu Tiance's eyes were sparkling with joy.

He quickly grabbed a piece of meat. His lips broke into a grin after having a taste.

He opened the big bottle of Erguotou. Instead of pouring it into a glass, he brought it to his lips and gulped a big mouthful.

Rong Rong stared at him in shock.

He holds a high position but likes simple dishes and cheap drinks. That's unexpected.

“Tiance, do you like to eat grilled meat that much?” Rong Rong asked with a smile.

“Of course. My job is unique, so there are times when I would have to bring the team to difficult areas to complete our tasks. To us, there's nothing more soothing than sitting around a pit of fire and grilling meat while drinking some liquor. Not only can we replenish our energy, but we can also be relieved of our fatigue. Although it's the easiest and most basic cooking method, it's the tastiest to me. This world is too complicated. Sometimes, we need to live simply to be more relaxed.”

Rong Rong quickly nodded. That makes sense!

She held up her wine glass. “Tiance, let me toast to you. Thank you for saving me. I'm also grateful to meet you again. It's such a great honor.”

“You're welcome. I hope you live a peaceful life.”

Lu Tiance's words were like grilled meat—simple and brought great joy to Rong Rong.

To a person who could have a relapse at any moment, living a peaceful life was the most important.

The two of them drank as they chatted. Most of the time, it was Rong Rong talking while Lu Tiance listened to her.

The liquor in the bottle quickly diminished, but Lu Tiance's expression remained the same.

Even Rong Rong was beginning to wonder whether he was drinking hard liquor or plain water.

She had already drunk half a bottle of red wine and was a little tipsy. Her cheeks were flushed as she stared at him dreamily.

“Tiance, how many children do you have?” Rong Rong asked earnestly.

Lu Tiance was taken aback. He felt awkward as he replied, “I don't have any children.”

“Oh. Is your wife not in a hurry to have any?”

Lu Tiance's expression became even more embarrassed. “I... I'm not married yet.”

Rong Rong was stunned. “Sorry. I spoke unnecessarily. Please forgive me...”

“It's fine.” Lu Tiance picked up the bottle and downed the last mouthful of liquor.

“Let's go. It's getting late. I'll send you back to campus. The driver is waiting outside,” said Lu Tiance.

“Okay.”

Lu Tiance remained steady on his feet, whereas Rong Rong was stumbling around and had difficulty walking straight.

After a moment of hesitation, he reached out to help her.

Rong Rong realized then that he was quite tall. She grabbed Lu Tiance's arm and was able to feel his firm muscles.

The rain outside had long since stopped, but the traffic in the city remained congested. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

However, Rong Rong did not want to return. The night view tonight looks beautiful. I want to enjoy it a little longer.
