Some surprise at her answer, but he didn't ask again and opened the door.
Jin Yan had the driver and security leave, carrying the food box into the house himself. Su Yue felt she should be polite, so she stepped forward to greet him and introduce herself.
"Holy crap..." Jin Yan exclaimed when he saw her. "Not bad, Old Chen. No wonder you've always been single, your standards are this high."
The two were silent.
"Haha, don't be awkward. Hello, sister. My name is Jin Yan, Jin for gold, Yan for language. I grew up playing naked with Chen Ziming. I'm the owner of your restaurant..." He extended his hand, intending to shake hers in a gesture of friendship.
Just as Su Yue was about to reach out, Chen Ziming swatted Jin Yan's hand away. "You're talking more and more nonsense."
"Tsk, it's just a handshake, I'm not competing with you. I brought two extra dishes this time, and I haven't had dinner yet. Come, let's eat together?"
Jin Yan went to the dining room as if he were at home, put down the food box, and opened it to reveal exquisitely plated dishes, seemingly prepared and packed by the restaurant.
Su Yue's appetite was instantly whetted, and she swallowed unconsciously.
"Come on!" Jin Yan ushered them like he was the host.
"Is this your house or mine?" Chen Ziming said speechlessly, but still pulled Su Yue over to sit on one side.
"All the furniture in this living room was a gift from me, so this is half my home," Jin Yan said without any pretense, going to the kitchen to get chopsticks and handing them to them.
Was this guy's relationship with Chen Ziming really that good?
After putting down his chopsticks, he returned to the kitchen, found the wine cabinet, and after much deliberation, picked out a bottle of red wine and two stemmed glasses.
"This bottle of wine is worth ten meals," Chen Ziming said, looking at him indifferently.
Ten meals… Su Yue remembered the meal she ordered earlier cost over five hundred yuan.
"I haven't even gotten the bottle worth a hundred meals yet, so be content," Jin Yan said, opening the cork with a corkscrew. The aroma of wine instantly wafted out. He inhaled it with satisfaction and poured a small amount into each glass.
"I need to report when I drink," Chen Ziming spoke again.
"I know, this isn't for you." He directly pushed the wine glass towards Su Yue. "This wine is good, let the pretty sister have some. It promotes blood circulation and keeps you young."
Su Yue: ...
Chen Ziming raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "If you cause more trouble here, I'll call the police and have you thrown out."
"Sister, do you want to have some? It's delicious," Jin Yan ignored him and asked Su Yue directly.
Su Yue was a bit curious about how good this wine was, to be worth the price of ten meals, but she didn't want to lose face with Chen Ziming. So, she looked at him with slightly innocent eyes and asked:
"Is it okay?"
"You can't be like this, sister. Let me tell you, you have to make him listen to you. That's how he'll value you more. Men are all like this..."
"Aren't you a man?" Chen Ziming, who had been looking at Su Yue, turned his cold gaze on him when he heard this.
"Yeah, that's me."
"...If you want to drink, have some. I'll take care of you if you drink too much," he decided to ignore Jin Yan any longer and said to Su Yue.
He then used serving chopsticks to place food onto Su Yue's plate.
"Let's toast!" Jin Yan picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Su Yue's, and then took a small sip, repeatedly praising it.
Seeing this, Su Yue, also curious, picked up her wine glass and took a sip. She found it crisp, sweet, and sour, with a slightly pungent alcohol taste, but not overwhelmingly so. The texture was very good.
She didn't know much about red wine, only that it tasted good. She took another small sip before putting down the glass.
Jin Yan watched her taste the wine seriously, a little mesmerized. When she put down the glass and started eating, he said:
"Try it, see if it's good. If it is, come to my shop another day and take some photos. Promote me on the food review app."
Su Yue was cued again and gave a slightly awkward smile, then looked at Chen Ziming.
Why was this guy so talkative?!
"Why are you so meddlesome?" Chen Ziming said indifferently while serving Su Yue more food.
"Sister, don't always seek his opinion. I'm telling you seriously, men who don't cherish you like this, you have to make your own decisions... Don't kick me. The young lady is too beautiful; I can't bear to see her suffer."
He was talking seriously to Su Yue when he suddenly turned to Chen Ziming and said with dissatisfaction.
