Chapter 16
"Sorry for the wait, sir. This is your top-tier diamond card."
After processing the card, the manager respectfully presented it with both hands, saying eagerly, "This card can be linked to WeChat for use, so it won't affect your access even if you lose it."
Chen Jiahao took it and casually handed it to Zhao Yuxin. Holding the card, Zhao Yuxin said in a coquettish voice, "Why are you giving this to me?"
Chen Jiahao said generously, "Giving you that broken phone earlier was a bit rude. Consider this the real welcome gift."
"But this is your money, and you topped it up with so much."
Zhao Yuxin said with feigned restraint.
"It's not right to accept such a gift the first time we meet."
Feeling her soft fragrance, Chen Jiahao couldn't help but put his arm around her waist, gently caressing her through her clothes, and said, "Just take it if I'm giving it to you. Don't be so fussy."
Only then did Zhao Yuxin accept the card, then said in a sweet, delicate voice, "I'm just holding onto it for you, okay? Just let me know whenever you need it."
She spoke so sensibly, completely captivating the inexperienced Chen Jiahao, who immediately said, "Use it freely whenever you want something for yourself."
"Then..."
Zhao Yuxin said with an utterly adorable pout, "You can't feel bad if I really do spend it, okay?"
Chen Jiahao shook his head: "Not unless you come here with another man!!!"
"I won't!"
Zhao Yuxin hurriedly promised, "Brother Hao, from now on, I'll only come here with you."
Thinking of all the years he had fawned over Tian Tian, Chen Jiahao said with a wry smile, "Don't promise so quickly. So many people are pursuing you, and plenty of them are outstanding. Nothing in life is absolute."
Chen Jiahao was just lamenting his own hard luck, but it sounded completely different to Zhao Yuxin.
You're like a goddess, with a ton of simps and backup admirers. You don't even believe what you're saying yourself.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuxin said with utmost sincerity, "Brother Hao, I completely understand your intentions. I could never do something like that."
"You pursued Tian Tian for three years without ever revealing yourself. But the day before yesterday, when you approached me, I felt I couldn't possibly be wrong about you."
"But now, I truly understand your intentions."
"You wouldn't even reveal your identity to Tian Tian, yet with me, you were so direct."
With a shy blush, Zhao Yuxin said, "I'm not one of those pretentious, innocent-seeming green tea bitches. I noticed all these details."
"You were mocked by so many people at school. I really thought it was unnecessary. If you had shown your true strength from the start, how could that 'Sweetie' have ever rejected you."
After speaking, Zhao Yuxin carefully watched Chen Jiahao's reaction.
Chen Jiahao, on the other hand, was calm and detached: "It doesn't matter anymore. Everything is settled from today."
With that, Chen Jiahao looked at the iPhone 16 in her arms, his face filled with a sorrowful expression. "This should be the answer."
"This is the only one. It's all the money I earned from my various part-time jobs, delivering food, and other gigs."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuxin, who had previously looked down on it as something someone else didn't want, now felt completely different.
This was a rich young master, living a down-to-earth life, who had painstakingly saved up, penny by penny, for his 'love'.
Considering how he could spend two million on gifts without blinking, and top up a card with two million without a second thought, this hint of hardship showed just how much he valued this gift.
"I'm sorry, Yuxin. This gift really lacks sincerity."
Chen Jiahao said again.
Zhao Yuxin felt her heart melt. An iPhone 16 was already sincere enough, let alone a card topped up with two million.
Her first impression was that this guy was too pure. Someone from a poor family should be more shrewd; being this naive could only mean his family environment was terrifyingly sheltered.
"But I really like it!"
"This card is still yours. And when we come next time, it should be together."
"Why are you being so insecure?"
As a top-tier green tea bitch with countless simps and backup admirers, Zhao Yuxin knew exactly how to adapt to the situation.
The manager stepped forward and said eagerly, "Sir, Madam, if you don't mind, I'll show you upstairs."
A private elevator led to the sky garden restaurant. Without a membership card to swipe, you really couldn't get up.
This restaurant, located on the hotel's top floor, had a starry roof where the sunshade layer was retracted at night, making it very romantic to gaze at the star filled sky.
Upon entering, one could hear the elegant, soothing music of a guzheng. The roof was designed to resemble a Suzhou style garden with a small bridge over a flowing stream, creating an antique and artistic atmosphere.
It was decorated with Chinese style objects like blue-and-white porcelain. The area was large, but there weren't many dining tables available.
The main hall had only about twenty tables. On one side were high-end private booths that overlooked the city's night view, each separated by screens. Under the melodious music, it wasn't noisy at all.
"Do you have a reservation, or would you like to choose a set meal?"
Chen Jiahao asked foolishly, "What's the difference!!!"
Afraid the receptionist might offend them with a careless remark, the manager quickly explained, "Respected sir, we offer some discounted set meals. If you choose a set meal, you can only be seated in these main hall areas."
"Those high-end private booths with the night view are for à la carte ordering."
As soon as Chen Jiahao nodded, the sharp-eyed Zhao Yuxin pointed to a table not far away and asked, "What set meal are they having?"
In a more secluded corner of the hall, Zhao Kai and Tian Tian were sitting opposite each other, already sipping their pre-dinner plum wine.
The receptionist had been strictly trained and, in principle, shouldn't answer such questions; that much professional ethics was required.
But in the face of money, what the hell was ethics? The manager snatched the menu and said, "Ms. Zhao, they ordered the 1888 yen Japanese-style seafood teppanyaki set meal."
"Let me see!"
Zhao Yuxin snatched their set menu, and upon looking at it, couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
Just then, Zhao Kai also noticed them. Seeing his girlfriend, Zhao Yuxin, standing with the simp Chen Jiahao, he immediately set down his wine with a dark expression.
Tian Tian also noticed his gaze. She turned her head, and her own face became exceptionally ugly.
