Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1396: So Handsome

Seeing these people so happy at the moment, Xiao Keyi felt a little embarrassed. She originally just wanted to have a low-key meal, but didn’t expect people to take photos wherever she went, which was a bit of a headache.

So she quickly stuck out her tongue, which looked particularly petite and cute: "I’m really sorry to disturb everyone while eating. I’m just an ordinary person, just here to eat. Please don’t be restrained, make sure to enjoy your meal and drinks. By the way, today’s expenses here will all be on me."

With the young lady’s words, everyone cheered up. They didn’t expect the young lady to be so generous, covering everyone’s bill. It was really too happy, and the young lady was too generous. They had never had such a free meal before.

Plus, these were all university students, and they all knew Xiao Keyi. After all, Xiao Keyi had excellent grades while at school. So one by one, they flocked over.

"Senior, can I take a picture with you? Is this your boyfriend? He’s really handsome. I always knew the senior was pretty, so your boyfriend must not be bad. I didn’t expect him to be this handsome."

"Senior, I also want to take a picture with you and your boyfriend, is that okay? Senior, please fulfill my request. I’ll definitely tell my roommates all about it when I get back."

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Xiao Keyi allowed those people to take pictures of Xu Ke. Originally a bit uncomfortable, Xu Ke decided to ignore these people since Xiao Keyi was interested.

But those girls were especially envious inside, thinking it was a pity that such a handsome man was all taken by Xiao Keyi.

At that moment, looking at the photos on their phones, some girls even secretly took pictures of Xu Ke. The more they looked, the more handsome they found him, enlarging details to their satisfaction.

"Honestly, I’ve never seen someone so handsome before. We’re in a film academy, but why isn’t there anyone this handsome at school? This is beyond my definition of a handsome guy. What should I do if my standards for looks keep getting higher?"

"Okay, now’s not the time to be picky. Besides, we don’t have the status of a young lady, so we’re not likely to find such a handsome boyfriend. Better lower your expectations, otherwise, you’ll end up single."

"What should I do? I’m a bit jealous of that guy. Why does my girlfriend keep staring at him? I admit that guy is more handsome than me, but does it have to be this scary, just blatantly disregarding my presence?"

At this moment, all the boys present felt a bit inferior. They didn’t expect this guy to be so handsome, and now their girlfriends were all looking at him. The thought of their girlfriends praising this guy made them very uncomfortable.

But since Xu Ke was genuinely handsome, they could only feel envious, swallowing their words.

The manager saw that the two had finally come, so the others went to greet them, while he hurried over with a cake for the young lady and Xu Ke.

Both of them were a bit perplexed by the cake. It wasn’t their birthday, so why was a cake brought out? Perhaps the manager got it wrong. Even other tables noticed the detail and thought it was a birthday cake.

"Manager, did you make a mistake? Our table didn’t order a cake, and it’s not anyone’s birthday. We’re just here to have hot pot."

Upon hearing Xiao Keyi say this, the manager quickly set down the cake and explained, "Let me tell you, many people come here just to eat hot pot. But there’s a more romantic way—having a bit of cake before the hot pot, offering two different sensations."

After the manager explained, he set the cake down and left.

Xiao Keyi chuckled, not expecting the manager to be so romantic. Initially assuming the manager was already quite advanced in age, she realized that despite his age, romance was still in his bones.

Xiao Keyi couldn’t help but sigh, not expecting even the manager to have such thoughts, while the man in front of her was like a block of wood, knowing nothing.

"I really wish that you, who are so capable in business, could learn some tricks from others to woo girls and use them on me. Right now, you’re like a stone, even less romantic than the manager. Why not learn from him!"

Upon hearing Xiao Keyi’s words, Xu Ke was taken aback. Was he really that terrible? Thinking of this, he frowned. He thought he had made his feelings clear, but now it seemed the girl still didn’t understand.

"Why bother with all this flashy stuff? Besides, don’t you understand my feelings yet? Saying these things ruins the sentiment."

Just then, all the dishes had been served. Although neither of them ate much, the process was particularly enjoyable. After the meal, the manager even wanted to bring them dessert, but Xu Ke refused.

"No need to bring it over. If you do, it’ll just go to waste. After we’re done, we plan to walk around. If there’s dessert, just pack it up for us."

The manager, who was initially eager to please, was a bit worried the young lady would refuse. Hearing they could pack it up, he gratefully looked at Xu Ke and quickly instructed his staff to prepare it.

"Thank you truly, young lady and President Xu, for visiting our hot pot restaurant. I am extremely happy today. If the young lady and President Xu enjoyed it, you are welcome back next time. Also, here are our discount coupons."

The two of them clearly weren’t the type to cut the line, so even inviting them next time seemed pointless; just giving them coupons was better.

"Didn’t expect you to be quite the business person, handing us coupons. If we don’t come back next time, we’d really seem ungrateful. Alright, after it’s packed, we’ll leave."

As Xiao Keyi spoke, she hooked her arm around Xu Ke’s, carrying the dessert with joy, looking particularly cheerful.

The manager scratched his head at being complimented by the young lady. He was just trying to keep the young lady as a customer. Was he really that good at business?

After leaving the hot pot restaurant and walking another hundred meters, it was University City, where Xiao Keyi had studied before. This University City was quite famous in Changnan City, and almost everyone wanted to enroll there, as it had produced many celebrities.

Moreover, those who graduated from there either became pillars of today’s entertainment industry or were veteran actors. Everyone looked at this place with dreams in their eyes.

"In the past, I really liked this place, but later on, I slowly gave up."
