"What are you looking at?" Bai Yeqing suddenly turned around and caught her gaze.
Xia Xingchen turned away and remained silent. Bai Yeqing was patient, stopped the car, and took off the seat belt. "We're here, get out."
She then looked at where the car stopped. It was in the CBD (Central Business District), a very busy area, with office workers and CEOs of various businesses passing by. His new company was also in this area.
What he meant by "arrived" was the coffee shop in front of him. The exquisite but somewhat lazy and modern decoration style was definitely the best in this area. Xia Xingchen's dream has always been to open a coffee shop, so she has paid attention to every coffee shop in the city, but this one was the first time she discovered it. It seemed that this place was not a coffee shop before.
"Not coming down?" Bai Yeqing asked when he saw that she didn't move.
"No." Xia Xingchen bit her lip and silently looked down at her clothes. How could she go to a coffee shop in her house clothes and indoor slippers? She was already untidy.
Bai Yeqing didn't insist and went down by himself. Before Xia Xingchen could react, the passenger door was opened, and the next moment, her seat belt was removed, and the pillow in her hand disappeared. She was carried down from the car by Bai Yeqing.
"Hello!"
"No one will laugh at you, and no one dares to laugh at you."
"But it's embarrassing to go in like this." She looked up at him, "Aren't you afraid that I will embarrass you?"
Bai Yeqing was always dressed neatly, always looking like a perfect leader, but she...
Hmm! If I had known earlier, I should have dressed up properly when I was at home. At least I should have put my clothes in a proper place.
"I don't feel ashamed no matter what you look like." Bai Yeqing said in a light tone, but Xia Xingchen calmed down a little when he heard it.
As soon as they appeared at the door, the manager inside had already opened the door from the inside. He greeted them respectfully: "Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, good afternoon."
Xia Xingchen's face turned red, and she whispered to Bai Yeqing, "Put me down first."
He then put her down. She tidied her hair and clothes in embarrassment, and when she saw her cute white cartoon slippers, she felt embarrassed.
"Is it okay for me to go in like this?" I asked the manager uncertainly. After all, in many places nowadays, the first requirement for customers is to be well-dressed. This is also basic etiquette for socializing.
The manager looked at her quietly and couldn't help laughing. "If it were someone else, this outfit would definitely not meet our standard of 'neatly dressed'. However, you are special, please come in."
special
Xia Xingchen thought that her uniqueness came from the former president next to her. The manager naturally gave him face.
She nodded apologetically and followed Bai Yeqing in. It was only then that she realized that there was no other customer in the entire cafe except them.
The music floats melodiously.
The whole atmosphere is relaxed and lazy, which makes people relax.
At this point, Xia Xingchen's unhappiness was much less. He looked around and asked the man opposite him, "Did you book the whole place?"
There is really no need to book the whole place now. It's such a waste of money! They are not in the stage of secretly dating now. They are already married with two children, and the news has been exposed countless times, so it doesn't matter if they date in public.
Of course... considering her outfit today, she was still very thankful for Mr. Bai's decision to book the entire place.
However, Bai Yeqing shook his head and said, "No."
"No?" She pouted, looked at the menu in front of her, and then looked around worriedly, "There are so many people coming and going here, but no one is coming to eat. Is the food here too bad?"
"There are no customers because this place is not officially open yet. As for whether the food is bad or not, I'm not sure." Bai Yeqing gestured to the waiter, who came over immediately. He ordered: "Send up all the food and coffee in your restaurant, two servings."
"Yes, Mr. Bai."
Xia Xingchen was stunned. "All? There are only two of us. Can we eat it all?"
"Eat even if you can't eat."
"..." Xia Xingchen didn't know what he was up to, but she felt that everything was weird today. They went into a store that hadn't even officially opened yet. They were also so generous and weird in ordering things.
She looked at him suspiciously. Bai Yeqing knew her doubts and explained calmly, "Since you are the owner of this restaurant, you should try every dish here. If you feel that there is something wrong, you can quickly bring it up before the official opening and ask the kitchen to change it."
Xia Xingchen tried hard to digest this sentence.
Bai Yeqing looked at her, "Now that we have Xiao Xiaobai, our plan to open a cafe by the sea will probably have to be postponed for at least 10 years. So... let's use this place as a substitute for now, OK?"
So, what he meant was that this cafe...belonged to her
Xia Xingchen's heart was in turmoil. She looked around and then looked at his face. Her eyes were moistened. "You didn't go home last night and didn't sleep all night. You were here?"
"Well, a lot of things are still being finalized, so it's quite busy." He just downplayed it.
Xia Xingchen felt warm in her heart and was speechless for a moment. She used to think that Mr. Bai was the kind of man who didn't understand romance, but now she knows... the romance he gave you will be unforgettable for the rest of your life. He took everything she did carefully to heart and completed it for her bit by bit.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wouldn't... be angry with you..." He always did many things silently, and in the end, she became like an unreasonable and annoying person.
"It's not too late to tell you now."
"No wonder I didn't find this cafe before. When I walked in, I was thinking, this used to be a craft shop." Because of the touch, the corners of my eyes were a little wet. Looking down at myself, I didn't know whether I should be angry or laugh, and tears came out of the corners of my eyes, "You should have told me earlier, otherwise, I wouldn't have come here like this..."
Wouldn't it be terrible to let my employees see me in such a miserable state when I meet them for the first time
Bai Yeqing smiled, "This will be your home from now on. You can come here however you want. No one will laugh at you. But..."
He leaned back a little, and looked her up and down carefully, which made her feel very embarrassed. He then commented carefully: "I'm afraid the customers won't be able to accept it, so for the sake of sales, Mrs. Bai really needs to change her clothes."
Xia Xingchen was both amused and confused, "I am in this state because of you!"
"I remember I reminded you to change your clothes."
“…” She thought about it again and it seemed to be true.
