Chapter 1144: Chapter 1137: I Kind of Regret Meeting You

Lu Tianxing drove the car with Shen Manjun speeding along the overpass; they arrived at an elegant location and stopped, where there were many high-end restaurants.

Since he brought Shen Manjun out for a meal, he definitely couldn’t choose a random place. Although Lu Tianxing wasn’t sure in his heart if he liked Shen Manjun, one thing was certain: Shen Manjun would be his woman for the rest of his life. Moreover, taking a woman out to eat meant they couldn’t just go to a street vendor. Of course, this premise depended on whether you had the money to spend.

Even though Shen Manjun didn’t care where they ate, how Lu Tianxing acted was another matter.

When getting out of the car, Lu Tianxing held Shen Manjun’s hand, “Wait, I’ll get the door for you.”

Saying that, under Shen Manjun’s puzzled gaze, Lu Tianxing got out of the car, walked halfway around, and opened Shen Manjun’s door, making an inviting gesture, “Please, my beautiful lady.”

“Since when did you become so courteous?” Shen Manjun said with a smile, looking at Lu Tianxing’s rather unusual gesture.

Lu Tianxing smiled and said, “Isn’t this how it always is in TV shows? A man takes a woman out to dinner, needs to be a bit more gentlemanly, a bit more romantic, and maybe the woman will be moved and give herself to him.”

“You’re hopeless, such nonsense.”

Shen Manjun felt as if she were eighteen again, giving Lu Tianxing a playful glance, yet after getting out of the car, she still reached out and took his arm. The two headed towards a nearby high-class Western restaurant.

“Welcome.”

The two service attendants standing at the restaurant entrance saw Lu Tianxing and Shen Manjun coming over and immediately bowed slightly in greeting.

Lu Tianxing smiled as he led Shen Manjun inside.

The entire restaurant was beautifully decorated, not overly adorned, yet it gave off a peaceful, elegant, and very comfortable feeling. The gentle music floated through the restaurant, not at all intrusive but rather calming.

Holding Shen Manjun’s hand, Lu Tianxing noticed her somewhat tense expression, not knowing what to do. Although she had been to high-end restaurants before, this situation was entirely different from the past.

In the past, going to a high-end restaurant meant directly having a private room; this was not a restaurant specifically prepared for couples.

Seeing Shen Manjun’s somewhat nervous look, Lu Tianxing softly asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it here, or should we go somewhere else?”

“No need.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Manjun shook her head and said, “I just never thought I’d be dining in such a couple’s restaurant with a man. Previously, when Qiaoqiao and I went out to eat, it was always in a private room, and sometimes we would simply hire a chef to cook at home.”

Upon saying this, Shen Manjun felt a bit emotional. In the past, she never thought she would fall for a man, let alone a playboy.

“Lu Tianxing, I realize I’m a bit regretful about knowing you.” Shen Manjun said softly.

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, “Why?”

“I’ve found that I’m gradually placing you in my heart. When you’re by my side, I’m happy and feel secure, with no worries because a man is there to shield me. But when you leave, I realize I’m no longer suited to being alone. I long for a man to stand by my side, facing everything together with me. But I know, you ultimately don’t belong solely to me…”

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Tianxing gently squeezed Shen Manjun’s hand, “I know I’m quite a flirt, but I believe we’ll stay together for a lifetime, and no one can separate us.”

“I understand. Even though being without you makes my life feel uneasy, it also makes me feel fulfilled, because sometimes missing someone is a very happy thing.”

As the two walked, they chatted, choosing a seat by the window.

Seeing them sit down, a server came over and handed the two menus to Lu Tianxing and Shen Manjun, “Hello sir and madam, may I ask what you would like to eat?”

Lu Tianxing casually placed the menu on the table, looking at Shen Manjun and asked, “What would you like to eat?”

“You?”

“I’m fine with anything, I’m not picky about food.”

“Then I won’t hold back.”

Shen Manjun nodded, glanced over the menu, and said, “We’ll have two portions of your top foie gras, also two portions of medium-rare French red wine steak, and two white truffle desserts. Anything else, Lu Tianxing?”

“Hmm, I’ll also have a roast turkey.” Lu Tianxing pondered for a moment and said.

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

After noting down their order, the server turned and walked toward the back.

The speed of serving in a high-end Western restaurant was indeed excellent. Not long after, exquisite dishes were served one by one. Lu Tianxing did not stand on ceremony or act elegantly, immediately cutting in with knife and fork, for Lu Tianxing, being full was the most important thing.

Shen Manjun ate gracefully, delicately biting and swallowing, appearing natural and elegant, presenting a strong contrast to Lu Tianxing.

The two conversed with smiles and laughter, Lu Tianxing recounting his past experiences while Shen Manjun shared tales of intrigue in the business world, though their stories were unrelated, it felt exceptionally harmonious.

In the midst of their meal, a waitress suddenly approached the table holding a bottle of seemingly expensive wine, smiling as she spoke to Shen Manjun, “Miss, hello, a gentleman asked me to bring this bottle of wine to you, and he asked me to convey a message.”

“What gentleman, what message?”

Shen Manjun put down her knife and fork, frowning slightly.

The waitress said, “The gentleman asked if you would be willing to leave him your number.”

Shen Manjun was briefly surprised, glanced at Lu Tianxing across from her, and seeing no reaction, turned back to the waitress and said, “Sorry, I don’t make a habit of giving my number to strangers.”

Hearing Shen Manjun’s words, the waitress hesitated slightly, ultimately saying nothing more as she walked away with the wine.

But it wasn’t long before a well-dressed man with an air of a successful professional came over from the side, holding the high-end wine the waitress had just taken. With an elegant smile on his face, he approached Shen Manjun.

“Hello, beautiful lady, it’s a pleasure to meet you. May I know your lovely name?” The man directly ignored Lu Tianxing sitting across from Shen Manjun, smiling politely at her as he spoke.
