"Huang De Han called San'er and told her not to wait for him as he would be working late tonight.
San'er, being considerate, asked, 'Do you want me to bring you a late-night snack?'
'No need, no need,' Huang De Han quickly refused. 'I have to go out with Chen Zong to meet clients, and I might come back late.'
'Oh, I see. Alright then.'
After hanging up the phone, a confident smile appeared on Huang De Han's lips. His self-esteem soared to unprecedented heights: his wife knew about his affair and tacitly accepted it, San'er was obedient and compliant, and now there was a Xiaosi who professed her admiration for him.
Hahaha!
The red flag was still flying at home, while colorful flags fluttered outside. He had become the object of envy for all men!
Tonight, he was going to win over Xiaoxiao!
After work, Huang De Han first bought a large bouquet of red roses and then went to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet.
It was a very romantic Western-style restaurant.
Upon entering the restaurant, Huang De Han looked around but didn't see Xiaoxiao. He glanced at his watch—it was 7:35. They had agreed to meet at 8 o'clock, so he sat down at a window seat where he could see people entering from outside.
At eight o'clock sharp, Xiaoxiao appeared.
Huang De Han's eyes were fixed on the outside. When he saw Xiaoxiao getting out of a taxi, he quickly stood up, picked up the roses placed on the table, and went to greet her.
Xiaoxiao had no makeup on and was wearing a white dress. With lowered eyebrows and a gentle smile, she exuded purity and elegance.
'Xiaoxiao,' Huang De Han handed the roses to her, 'you look even more beautiful in person than in the photos.'
'Thank you!' Xiaoxiao shyly accepted the roses.
Watching the girl's bashful appearance, Huang De Han felt an indescribable palpitation in his heart.
He had never experienced this feeling with Leman or San'er.
Huang De Han felt himself falling, he had fallen in love with this seemingly pure and clean woman before him.
He was infatuated with Xiaoxiao at first sight.
He was excited like a young boy experiencing his first crush and quickly pulled out a chair for Xiaoxiao, inviting her to sit.
Once Xiaoxiao was seated, Huang De Han sat opposite her.
'What would you like to eat? Order anything you want!' Huang De Han pushed the menu toward Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao pushed the menu back and said, 'I can eat anything. It doesn't matter.'
'But there's no "anything" on the menu here.'
Huang De Han made a joke, and Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and giggled. 'You order for me. I really can eat anything; I'm not picky.'
Huang De Han leaned closer and said, 'Can I be the one you eat?'
Xiaoxiao's face turned red in an instant, even her ears turned red. She covered her face and playfully scolded him, 'You're so annoying!'
That sweet voice made Huang De Han's blood boil, and he suddenly had the urge to take her right then and there.
Huang De Han swallowed hard, forcefully suppressing the restlessness surging inside him.
After ordering the food, Huang De Han asked, 'Would you like to have a drink?'
Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, 'I don't know how to drink.'
"Have a drink, the wine has a low alcohol content and it's good for the skin," Huang De Han said, gazing deeply at Xiaoxiao, his eyes filled with affection.
Xiaoxiao shyly nodded and said, "Then I'll give it a try."
Huang De Han was delighted and quickly called the waiter over to order a bottle of wine.
The wine had a mild taste, perfect for girls to drink, and most importantly, it had a strong aftertaste.
Soon, the food and wine were served, and the two of them chatted while enjoying their meal. Huang De Han was witty and humorous, making Xiaoxiao burst into laughter again and again. Both of them felt as if they had met each other too late in life.
Of course, this feeling of meeting too late was only sincere on Huang De Han's part. Xiaoxiao, being an acting student, considered it a minor matter.
