At this moment, Mu Tingfeng had no idea what trauma he had brought to these young girls in the past. At this moment, he was putting all his attention on the woman beside him. His mind could not help but make up plans.
"How was work today?"
"It was great. It is just that I have left for so many days, all the up, so I’ve got quite a lot on my plate."
Upon hearing that, Mu Tingfeng frowned. "Work is piling up? There wasn’t anyone to cover for you while you were gone?
"Well, there was." Zhao Youlin turned her head and smiled at him. "Those tasks that I left behind, those that weren’t important, Mr. Xiao had taken care of them for me. As for those that were important and urgently needed a decision to be made on them, my dad helped take care of them. But my dad was busy with his work too, so it’s understandable that he could not take care of everything for me. That’s why those tasks that Mr. Xiao did not have the right to make decisions for and those that were not urgent piled up. Now that I’m back to work, I have to deal with them."
Mu Tingfeng’s expression softened a little. He nodded and said nothing more.
Zhao Youlin looked at the side of Mu Tingfeng’s face. Her eyes flickered, and she took the initiative to change the subject. "Where are we going now? Home? But this doesn’t look like the way back to our home, does it?"
Mu Tingfeng was delighted by the ‘we’ Zhao Youlin said. He smiled and said, "We are not going home first."
"We are not going home?" Zhao Youlin was a little puzzled. "Where are we going then, if not home?"
Mu Tingfeng turned his head and gave Zhao Youlin a deep look. His eyes glinted. After a while, he said, "A date."
A date? Zhao Youlin was taken aback. This guy here was going to take her on a date? If she remembered it correctly, she and this guy had just gotten married not long ago, hadn’t they?
Dating only after they got married… Shouldn’t the normal order of relationship be dating first before marriage? Did this guy get it all backwards?
Okay, but when she thought about it, it did seem that they did not go on many dates before they got married. After they confirmed their relationship, they started dating with the premise of marriage. And then, naturally, they just got married in a haste.
During this period, all the stages of a relationship like dating or something like that, they just skipped it directly and jumped straight into marriage!
Realizing that, the corner of Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched a little. She opened her mouth and intended to tell Mu Tingfeng that they were married and they did not need to do silly things like that. Though when she saw Mu Tingfeng’s serious side face and the red tips of his ears that gave away
The words that were about to come out of her mouth just stopped. Then, she silently swallowed those words back.
Never mind. Since this guy was so excited about his so-called dating, she could have a little fun with him, since she did not have anything else important to do.
Zhao Youlin exhaled lightly and did not say anything more. Looking at the sputtering streetlights that had gradually lit up not far away, the corners of her taut mouth slowly relaxed.
Mu Tingfeng seemed like he was concentrating on the road, looking ahead, but in fact, the corners of his eyes had been stealing glances at the woman beside him. He had been closely watching Zhao Youlin’s reaction. After seeing that Zhao Youlin showed no sign of rejection to his suggestion, he heaved a sigh of relief internally. The curve of his lips became more and more apparent.
The surroundings began to be engulfed by night, though for them, everything had just begun.
Surprisingly, Mu Tingfeng’s choice of location for their date was not some luxurious famous restaurant in a hotel, but a small restaurant that was freshly, neatly, elegantly and naturally decorated.
And about the selection of the restaurant, it was only right to say that the credit went to Mu Tingfeng’s right-hand man, the Mighty Secretary Xia, Xia Zhetao.
As a secretary who dealt with different restaurants and hotels, in order to take care of his boss’s food, clothing, housing and transportation all the time, he knew which restaurant in Shalnork had the best atmosphere and which hotel was worst rated.
And the restaurant he chose for Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin was amazing, in terms of its food and its environment.
And it turned out that Xia Zhetao was indeed very good at this. Zhao Youlin fell in love with the restaurant’s decor and ambiance at first sight.
"How did you find such a chic restaurant? The decoration of this place looks simple, but if you look carefully, you will find that those nooks and crannies have been handled very well and decorated attentively." Zhao Youlin surveyed the restaurant with her eyes lit up and complimented it very pertinently.
Of course, Mu Tingfeng would not tell her that it was Xia Zhetao who recommended it. He claimed all the credit himself without changing his expression. "I happened to see it when I passed by this area, and thought you’d like it."
"I do like it." Zhao Youlin did not hide her fondness for this restaurant.
"Since you like it, why don’t you consider adopting the same design for your pastry store?"
Zhao Youlin went silent for a moment after hearing Mu Tingfeng’s suggestion. She frowned and started to ponder over it. Though she came to an unsatisfactory conclusion after thinking about it.
"It’s true that we can use the design of this store as a reference for my store, but…"
"But?"
"But my store is a little too small. If I really want to adopt this design, it would only be possible unless I combine my shop with another shop of the same size next door."
The truth was, Zhao Youlin had already thought that her pastry store was too small for quite some time. When the products in her store became popular, she had expanded her store from the previous three to four workers to the current size. It was then that she noticed that her store had become smaller as it got more crowded.
In the beginning, Zhao Youlin opened this pastry store simply because she wanted to give herself and Joy a way out. If she could not find a permanent job that was suitable for her in the future, at least she and Joy would not have to worry about how they would make ends meet.
Who would have thought that not long after she opened the store, the old master would come to find her and trick her into joining the Zhao Enterprise, where she no longer had to be worried about her job and making ends meet?
And with An Qi and An Yue managing the store, its business continued to boom, despite Zhao Youlin’s absence. It had helped Zhao Youlin earn back the money she invested in the early stages, and also helped her make a lot of money.
Hearing Mu Tingfeng’s suggestion, Zhao Youlin was tempted. If she could expand the store properly, she could renovate it.
The store would not be so crowded with a bigger space and a better environment. The staff would have more space to move around. Besides, if the store was larger, they would be able to accommodate more customers.
Upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered as well, and he already had some plans on his mind..
