Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 212 Challenge

Leng Shao opened the door of his car for Su Bei. His eyes met hers, and the moment it did, both of them smiled at each other as Su Bei gave him a small nod, thanking him for being a gentleman.

"Thank you."

"My pleasure."

With that, Su Bei had entered Leng Shao's car and sat on the passenger's seat. Soon after, Leng Shao followed as he sat on the driver's seat, starting the vehicle already after they have buckled themselves with their seatbelts.

Since it was just a 5-minute drive from where they were earlier, it was quite a quiet drive going to the restaurant. The moment they arrived, Leng Shao immediately got off of the car and opened the door for Su Bei once more.

"Your keys, sir."

Greeted by the chauffeur, Leng Shao nodded as he gave his keys, the man already driving his car for parking.

Leng Shao then smiled at Su Bei, who was standing beside him as he extended his arm, Su Bei shyly smiling as she linked her arm with his, already entering the glamorous restaurant before them.

The moment they entered, it was as if the restaurant was for kings and queens. The interior seemed to be out of gold, and everyone seemed to be from affluent families as they dined in this fine restaurant.

"A reservation for Mr. Leng Shao and his date?"

A waitress then soon greeted them, making the two smile as Leng Shao nodded, giving the waitress the signal to lead the way.

"Yes, lead the way. Thank you."

Su Bei felt the pitter-patter of her heart. Leng Shao and Su Bei followed the waitress as she walked them towards their area, overlooking the city lights outside.

"My!"

Su Bei couldn't help but feel enthralled with the view that was before them. The lights of the skyscrapers near them were like shining stars that came down from the heavens.

Seeing the expression on Su Bei's face, Leng Shao beamed as he felt like he did his best in preparing for their date. He cleared his throat to get Su Bei's attention as he pulled the chair, gesturing Su Bei to sit down.

"M'lady?"

Su Bei couldn't help but giggle a little as Leng Shao addressed her like she is a woman of high rank. She gracefully sat down on the chair as Leng Shao seated right in front of her, their eyes locked as Su Bei spoke, complimenting him.

"I have to say, Mr. Leng, that the view before us is spectacular," Su Bei said, Leng Shao, giving her a wink as he felt satisfaction in her compliment. historical

"Oh, you flatter me, Miss Su. It is deserving of a wonderful woman such as you."

Su Bei smiled, showing her perfect teeth as Leng Shao smiled back. At the same moment, a waiter came by at their table and served them wine first.

"Thank you for choosing our restaurant, Mr. Leng," the waiter said as he smiled politely at the two. "We will be serving you our best three courses, and I hope you two would enjoy this wonderful evening," he added, the two smiling back at the waiter serving them.

"A pleasure. Thank you for having us."

As the waiter left to go to the kitchen to inform the cook in preparing their meal, Su Bei elegantly got her wine at the side and took a small sip, her eyes shyly landing on Leng Shao in front of her.

She had to admit, being in front of a dashing man such as him had tugged her heartstrings, making her swoon! With his smooth actions and his words, it was such a plus point that it made her want to get to know him more.

At the same time, it was the same for Leng Shao. He had decided to move on from the woman he loved for a long time, and upon laying his eyes on Su Bei for the first time, Leng Shao was taken aback--only realizing now that he could meet another beautiful woman.

It was silent for a while. Su Bei then put her glass down as her heart raced, slightly uncomfortable as she struggled to put her words in the best way possible, not wanting to sound awkward.

'What should we talk about,' she thought to herself. 'Should I start the conversation? Would that make me seem like a woman who isn't hard to get? Would he think that?'

As if sensing a cloud of gloominess on top of Su Bei's head, Leng Shao slightly chuckled, getting Su Bei's attention.

"Are you worried that you're making a bad impression of yourself?"

"Wh-what? I..."

Su Bei stammered in her words as she felt her face heat up a little, indicating that she was blushing. With the soft flush of pink forming on her cheeks, Leng Shao found her cute as she grinned at her, wanting to tease her even though they just met today.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit a bullseye," Leng Shao joked, making Su Bei playfully roll his eyes at him as she now realized that he was teasing her. "But then again, I could be wrong," he added, Su Bei smiling at him when she heard his words.

"Oh, you could be right, Mr. Leng," she replied, now the atmosphere lighter between them, no longer awkward. "But, I am also wondering, per se, if you could satisfy the woman right before your eyes."

"Oh?" Leng Shao grinned, showing his teeth as he learned that she also had humor in her. "I would gladly take the challenge, Ms. Su."

The two laughed as they now found it easier to converse with each other this evening. It was as if the awkwardness between the two had already vanished into thin air!

With Leng Shao and Su Bei already clicking as the conversation between them started, it had made the two think that they would indeed have a fun evening together.

It made both of them think and hope if there would be more chances to meet each other after their first date.
