Love at First Kiss: Surrendering to my Devil Husband - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: If you’re not Strong, Who are you Showing your Weakness to (4)

The manager quickly said, “Officer Lei did us a very huge favour the last time. Our boss was very grateful to him and said at that time that he wanted to treat him to a meal, but Officer Lei didn’t have time. Our boss instructed us that anytime Officer Lei comes, we need to receive him warmly. So you two beautiful ladies don’t need to think too much of it. ”

“So it’s like that.” Lan Qianyu smiled slightly and said nothing more.

…

Entering the restaurant, Qiao Qing could not help but exclaim, “Wow, this place is more luxurious than I imagined…” She whispered to Lan Qianyu, “Oh no, I’m afraid my 2,000 yuan won’t be enough.”

“Pfft!” Lei Lie chuckled.

“Later, let’s not order red wine. It should be enough if we only beverage and eat steak, right?” Qiao Qing was a little embarrassed.

Lei Li suppressed his laughter and teased, “Even if you don’t order red wine, two thousand dollars is just barely enough for one person to eat.”

“Ah?” Qiao Qing was dumbfounded. “Then what should I do? I only brought 2,000 yuan and I’ve no savings.”

“It’s okay, I have.” Lan Qianyu whispered, “The sum of both our money should be about enough.”

“How can we do that, I promised to treat you.” Qiao Qing frowned. “Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have bought a mobile phone two days ago. Then it would be enough.”

“You are so admirable, even saving the money from buying a mobile phone to treat us to dinner. My heart would ache while eating this meal,” Lei Lie teased. “Don’t worry, this meal’s on me.”

“Oh yeah, didn’t the manager just now say that their boss wanted to treat you to dinner? They wouldn’t charge us for this meal right?” Qiao Qing was a little excited.

“Police officers cannot accept gifts from others. That’s accepting a bribe.” Lan Qianyu immediately reminded her.

“Oh, right.” Qiao Qing suddenly realized.

“Don’t worry, I have money,” Lei Lie said with a smile. “This meal’s on me.”

“Your salary is only a few thousand yuan, and you still have to pay for rent. If we let you pay for this meal on your own, you’ll have no money to spend this month.” Qiao Qing said, “How about we each pay for a portion of the bill?”

“I’ve already made a one-time payment in full for my rent a long time ago. Although I don’t earn much money, I can still afford this much. This meal’s on me.” Lei Lie said, “Qiao Qing, you can treat us to Sichuan hotpot next time. A few hundred Yuan will be enough.”

“But…”

“Qiao Qing!” Lan Qianyu interrupted Qiao Qing. “Let Lei Lie treat us this time. We can treat him back the next time round.”

“Okay then.” Qiao Qing no longer insisted.

…

After the three of them sat down, the manager personally brought the menu over to them. Lan Qianyu noticed that when the manager handed the menu to Lei Lie, he was bowing slightly, and he did not dare to look Lei Lie in the eye. Lei Lie secretly hinted to him with his eyes, and the manager immediately said, “I’m going out to attend to the VIP first. If the three of you need anything, you can directly let the waiter know.”

“Okay, thank you.” Lan Qianyu handed the menu to Lei Lie. “You can just help me order.”

“Okay.” Lei Lie cheerfully agreed.

“In that case, help me order too. I’ve never eaten such high-class Western food, I know nothing about it.” Qiao Qing said with a grin.

“Hehe, okay.” Lei Lie ordered three steaks, some sides and desserts, as well as a bottle of red wine.

The waiter took the order down and repeated the order. Qiao Qing immediately said, “Why did you order red wine, it’s so expensive.”

“Oh, this bottle of red wine is now on sale and is only about 1,800 yuan. It’s rare for us to make a trip here, we should eat better stuff.” When Lei Lie said this, the waiter who had walked to the door, looked back at him, his gaze seemingly one of puzzlement…

Lan Qianyu knew that the waiter was baffled. The bottle of wine that Lei Lie ordered clearly cost more than 78,000 yuan. The waiter did not understand why Lei Lie had said it only cost about 1,000 yuan.
