Chapter 625: It’s Like We’re on a Honeymoon (2)

"Yeah, go on."

Lu Cheng had already noticed the three little "tails" trailing behind Shen Nian when she approached. ’They have to be her three roommates.’

The last time Shen Nian visited the corporation, she’d told Lu Cheng all about her roommates. He knew she got along well with them, so of course he wouldn’t stop her from going back to say hello.

Shen Nian turned and walked over to the trio hiding around the corner. She was just about to speak when Chu Lingxiu cut her off.

"Alright, alright, don’t say a word. Go on, go on! We’ll hold down the fort at the dorm!"

"Exactly! Xiao Nian, just go and don’t worry about a thing! We’ll cover for you."

"Uh-huh."

"..."

Her three roommates’ words completely shut down whatever Shen Nian was about to say. They even gave her a little push in Lu Cheng’s direction, waved with a smile, and then turned and ran off.

Shen Nian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at their antics, but she understood what they meant. Since her roommates were being so understanding, she certainly wasn’t going to let them down.

And so, Shen Nian went with Lu Cheng to the hotel he had booked.

The hotel was quite nice. Furthermore, Chu Yunze had booked a suite for Lu Cheng—and a honeymoon suite at that, one practically dripping with a rosy, romantic atmosphere.

Shen Nian was stunned when she saw the lit candles and Western-style dinner set up in the living room, not to mention the bed in the bedroom, which was completely covered in rose petals.

As for the bathroom... Shen Nian didn’t even dare to peek inside.

’Was this all prepared by the hotel,’ Shen Nian couldn’t help but wonder, ’or did Chu Yunze deliberately have someone set it up?’

While Shen Nian was wryly speculating, Lu Cheng, on the other hand, seemed quite satisfied with the room’s decor.

"Do you like it?"

’Lu Cheng realized that he really had been lacking a bit of romance in their daily life. It was a good thing Shen Nian didn’t hold it against him.’

’Still, if she liked this sort of thing, he would definitely have to put in more effort to be expressive in the future.’

’He was willing to do anything that would make her happy.’

’Of course I like it; what girl doesn’t like romance! It’s just... Shen Nian found it a little hard to imagine Lu Cheng personally setting up a scene like this with his own two hands.’

"It’s nice... it’s just, maybe a little over the top!"

"As long as you like it."

Shen Nian smiled, took Lu Cheng’s hand, and led him to the dining table.

"It looks like this was just prepared."

’You can still see the steam rising from it! The service at this hotel is really thoughtful.’

"Perfect. I’m a little hungry. Will you eat with me?"

"Mhm."

Shen Nian wasn’t hungry, but she was more than willing to eat with Lu Cheng if he was. Her heart ached at the thought of him coming all this way to find her on an empty stomach.

A candlelight dinner wouldn’t be complete without red wine to go with the meal. Lu Cheng poured two glasses, handing one to Shen Nian and keeping the other for himself. He then clinked his glass against hers.

Shen Nian looked at the red wine in her glass, then at Lu Cheng sitting across from her, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"This feels a bit like we’re on our honeymoon, doesn’t it?"

’It didn’t matter who had arranged all of this. The person sitting in front of her was Lu Cheng, and that’s what gave it meaning.’

"Yeah. When we get the chance, I’ll take you on a real honeymoon."

"I’d love that!"

At that moment, Shen Nian had no idea that Lu Cheng’s promise would become a reality not long after. The only thing was, reality would turn out to be quite a bit different from what she imagined.
