Chapter 910 — An Important Matter to Tell You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Didn't you say I've only just recovered from a serious illness? Then let's celebrate here," Wei Zhao said.
"Oh. Well, all right then." Tang Zhi felt a pang of reluctance. She was not the sort of girl who was greedy for money or vain — her character could not have been more different from her mother's. In Tang Zhi's view, one had to keep one's dignity even in poverty.
Wei Zhao asked for a small private room. Since it was an ordinary room, no advance reservation was needed.
The finest hotels Tang Zhi had ever been to were the Pengzhan Business Hotel, where the eldest young lady had treated them before, and now the Starlight Splendor Hotel here.
Wei Zhao handed the menu to Tang Zhi. She flipped through it casually and was immediately shocked — the dishes were frighteningly expensive. The price of one perfectly ordinary dish would have bought a whole meal outside. Tang Zhi truly did not dare to order.
She hesitated, then handed the menu back to Wei Zhao. "You'd better do it..."
"Heh..." Wei Zhao understood Tang Zhi's thinking. He casually ordered a few dishes and sent the waiter out. He had come here mainly to lay his cards on the table with Tang Zhi, not to eat.
"What a waste of money!" Tang Zhi glanced at Wei Zhao and pouted. She knew he could earn, but she disliked extravagance. Money could be spent where it was truly needed, yet spending so much on a single meal that might not even be all that delicious made her heart ache.
"Heh, we're not even married yet, and you're already managing me?" Wei Zhao said with a laugh.
"So what if I am? Do you want to be managed or not?" Tang Zhi fixed her bright eyes wide on Wei Zhao.
"Heh, sure, as long as you're willing to keep managing me forever..." Though Wei Zhao said this with a smile, there was a faint note of sorrow in it...
"Unless you don't want me!" Tang Zhi, hearing his answer, looked rather pleased with herself.
"I'm afraid you won't want me." Wei Zhao's expression turned solemn, and he spoke with great seriousness.
"?" Tang Zhi was startled and glanced at Wei Zhao in surprise. His words had been half in jest, but his expression left her thoroughly puzzled. "Why are you so serious?"
Wei Zhao was about to answer when a knock came at the door of the private room. The waiter had begun bringing in the dishes.
The dishes Wei Zhao had ordered were all quick stir-fries, nothing complicated, so they were served in no time. This too was deliberate on his part, to keep the waiter from coming in and out and interrupting his conversation with Tang Zhi.
"Yunyun, the reason I asked you out this time is that there's actually something very important I need to tell you." After the waiter had gone, Wei Zhao paused to collect himself before speaking.
"Huh?" Tang Zhi had already half forgotten his earlier seriousness. Now that the food had arrived, she was just about to pick up her chopsticks when Wei Zhao spoke. She quickly set them down and looked at him questioningly. "What is it? What's so important that you're this serious? Your expression is frightening..."
