125 125 The Western Restaurant
Tao Qi was a little flustered when he saw Tan Rou leave so quickly. Was this woman angry? But… Sister Jingjing’s behaviour just now was really abnormal. She looked extremely angry and sad. Even if Tan Rou didn’t treat him that badly, she still couldn’t bully Sister Jingjing!
Hearing Tan Rou called him an idiot, Tao Qi puffed up his little face and waved his little fist. “Who’s the idiot?! Why are you scolding me all of a sudden?” Tao Qi felt that he was innocent. How could Tan Rou get angry so easily? She had been so domineering just now, but her face had darkened in the blink of an eye. She was indeed a bad woman with an unpredictable mood!
Tan Jing saw the interaction between Tan Rou and Tao Qi, which made her heart sink. She didn’t expect Tan Rou to be so close to Tao Qi in such a short time. Although Tao Qi still didn’t seem to like Tan Rou, he still couldn’t hide the fact that he actually cared about Tan Rou. He cared about Tan Rou’s actions and emotions. Once these feelings were exposed, he couldn’t control it!
Tan Jing hurriedly adjusted the expression on her face, making herself forget about that hateful bitch Tan Rou. Her expression still looked as gentle as the Sister Jingjing that he knew. She tried hard to squeeze out a smile. Tan Jing stood there and looked at Tao Qi lovingly, her eyes so sweet that they seemed to be dripping water.
Those who didn’t know would think that Tan Jing was looking at her boyfriend instead of her brother. The gentleness from the bottom of her heart couldn’t be faked. It should have felt natural but Tan Jing was trying hard to show her affection towards her brother, Tao Qi. In the end, she was neither fish nor fowl, and it was something awkward to look at.
Tan Jing forced a smile and secretly calculated in her heart. She couldn’t let her guard down now. She had to hold Tao Qi’s heart a little tighter. She couldn’t allow this boy to get warmed up to Tan Rou or her plan would be ruined!
Thus, Tan Jing patted Tao Qi’s shoulder, smiled slightly, and coaxed him, “”Little Qi, you must be hungry. Big sister will treat you to something good! Didn’t you always say that you wanted to eat steak? I’ll take you to a Western restaurant!”
Tao Qi’s eyes lit up when he heard that there was good food. He forgot that Tan Rou had called him an idiot and left with Tan Jing.
Tan Jing took Tao Qi to a relatively famous Western restaurant. Although Tan Jing wanted to show her love for Tao Qi, she still couldn’t help but show a sense of superiority in her actions, as if this Western restaurant was owned by the Tan family.
Tan Jing looked at Tao Qi and thought to herself, “Tao Qi must have never been to such a good place to eat. He must be very surprised and amazed!”
Even she was shocked when she first came here. This was obviously a place for upper-class people to spend their money, so the price of it definitely would not be cheap. She had originally planned to take Tao Qi to another more ordinary Western restaurant but the scene at the school gate really made Tan Jing feel uneasy. She changed her mind at the last minute and brought Tao Qi here despite how it might hurt her purse.
Tao Qi was indeed shocked by the restaurant’s decorations as soon as he entered. Although the Western restaurant didn’t have a dazzling style, it was low-key luxury everywhere. Tao Qi didn’t dare to eat in a place like this. If his mother and the others knew that Sister Jingjing was treating him to such an expensive meal, they would definitely be mad!
A smiling waiter came forward and led the two to their seats. There were many people dining in the restaurant, but it was very quiet. Only the soothing sound of the violin could be heard.
Tao Qi followed behind, feeling a little uneasy. He carefully pulled Tan Jing and whispered, “Sister Jingjing, this place must be very expensive. Why don’t we go to another place?”
Tan Jing was a little proud of himself. She knew that such a high-end place would scare this silly boy, but she still pretended to be reserved and comforted him gently, “Big sister has a lot of pocket money now. I haven’t seen you for so long. I’ll take you out to have the best. You don’t have to worry.”
Tao Qi was still a little uncomfortable. He had only wanted to be close to Sister Jingjing but this place seemed to be very restrictive and uncomfortable.
Tao Qi was still a child, after all, and he didn’t care too much about high-end stuff. Compared to these, he preferred lively and relaxing places.
Tan Jing secretly rolled her eyes at Tao Qi’s restraint and felt a little impatient. She felt that Tao Qi was inexperienced and didn’t want to embarrass himself.
