NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21
I Believe Her
Although Ma Yunyun and the others had never been to France before, they were still used to living in fame and fortune. One look at this buffet restaurant and one could tell that it was of high quality. Forget the fact that they only had 70 pounds on themselves. Even if they each had 70 pounds, they would still be unable to afford a meal in such a place!
“Gu Ran, let’s just go. We can just get bread from a convenience store.” Ma Yunyun tugged on Gu Ran’s sleeve surreptitiously, trying to convince her not to emarrass herself.
Gu Ran ignored her. Instead, she walked into the restaurant, and spoke to the front desk for a few moment. When the maître d’ spotted the people following her, he immediately gave her a table number.
“Come on! We’re at the sixth table.”
Yan Hao and company were completely baffled by everything they had just witnessed. For a long moment they did not know whether to follow her or not.
Mo Yancheng, however, remained absolutely calm, and followed Gu Ran with no hesitation.
Upon seeing Mo Yancheng enter, Yan Hao decided to quickly follow him. This prompted Liao Ping and Ma Yunyun to follow as well. Both girls chatted among themselves as they entered, leaving Feng Cheng standing alone at the restaurant’s entrance.
What kind of sorcery did Gu Ran use, and who knew what she had been speaking to the others in French, that allowed them to actually enter this kind of establishment!
However, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
He wanted to see what price she would pay for saving her own face to eat at such an expensive location today!
With this thought in mind, Feng Cheng too entered the restaurant.
Since there was no need to order food at a buffet restaurant, and since Yan Hao was the eldest in the group, he volunteered to look after everyone’s belongings while Mo Yancheng and the rest went to get food.
In the desserts section.
Gu Ran hummed a little tune to herself as she picked herself a few high-quality cakes. Just as she was about to leave, she caught sight of M Yunyun who was eyeing two pieces of biscuits with a furrowed brow, her expression clearly conflicted.
“All the foods here are of low fat and calorie. Even then, two biscuits shouldn’t make a difference either way. We still have many activities later, if you don’t eat enough now and faint from hunger later, no one’s going to carry you.”
Ma Yunyun rolled her eyes in Gu Ran’s direction. “I don’t need dieting!”
This person really did not know when someone was being nice to her!
Gu Ran huffed icily and did not bother acknowledging her further.
“Ay, Gu Ran!”
Ma Yunyun jogged over to where she was. “We don’t have much cash left on us. Let’s just eat less here, okay? Unless you really want us to live in the streets? That would be so embarrassing!”
Ma Yunyun gave her a look, and let out an annoyed and exasperated sigh. In the face of someone so stupid, even hating her felt like a waste of time!
“The hotel we are staying in is doing an event with this restaurant. As long as we consume our food within a set limit of time, the cost will be free.”
Ma Yunyun did not seem to believe her. The transport they took that morning was free. The entrance fare to their attractions was free. And now… this buffet was also free?
Upon seeing the wary look on Ma Yunyun’s face, Gu Ran’s face hardened. “Believe what you want or don’t! We only have half an hour. If you don’t want to eat then leave!” After finishing her sentence, she did not deign to acknowledge Ma Yunyun further and filled her plate with food before returning to their table to let Yan Hao take his food.
Yan Hao, Liao Ping and company ate sparingly throughout the meal. They did not believe that the food would be free and were afraid that they could not afford to pay the bill if they overindulged.
Gu Ran could not care less about them. Mo Yancheng also seemed to be unaffected by their worries.
Ma Yunyun could not contain herself any longer, and whispered quietly to him, “Movie King, are… are you not worried that we wouldn’t be able to afford this later on?”
“No.” Mo Yancheng calmly sipped his champagne, and raised his eyebrow at her. “I trust her.”
His answer seemed to be all the validation andd blessing that M Yunyun needed. Who cared, anyway! Gu Ran would be the one paying, after all. She should worry about feeding herself. Who knew when their next meal would be, after all.
With that, she tugged at Liao Ping, and both of them set off to retrieve generous portions of food for the table.
