Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 126 - To the Movies

"Mr Shen is here."

Sheng Jiaoyang paused momentarily when she heard Zeng Huan's words. She then bade the director farewell and left.

"He's outside?" Sheng Jiaoyang asked while walking.

"Yes, Mr Shen is waiting for you in the car."

"I'm leaving first, please take Sis Ping home." Sheng Jiaoyang noticed Shen Zhining's car, so she waved to Zeng Huan and walked up to open the car door before getting in.

Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Shen Zhining and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Giving you a lift."

"Where are we going now?" It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, and it would take them at most an hour to get back to the Northern suburbs. If they went back so early, wouldn't she actually need to cook dinner?

As this thought crossed her mind, Sheng Jiaoyang didn't wait for an answer and immediately added, "Zhining, are you free tonight? If so, then how about we go to the movies?"

Seeing that he didn't agree nor disagree, she urged, "I heard that a few good movies came out recently. Since it's still early, why don't we go watch one?"

Sheng Jiaoyang stared at Shen Zhining with an expectant look, making it hard for him to refuse.

Sure enough, Shen Zhining agreed in the end.

Sheng Jiaoyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that she'd relaxed too early when the driver parked the car in front of a restaurant. It was the same restaurant she'd ordered food from in the past few days, and she had to admit that the dishes here were quite tasty.

She held her forehead as she thought: Shen Zhining wouldn't bring her here without rhyme or reason. He must have found out about the food already...

Shen Zhining got off the car and stood by the door, staring at her as he asked, "Aren't you coming?"

Sheng Jiaoyang pursed her lips and got off as well. She sneaked a few glances at Shen Zhining's expression, but she couldn't read him at all.

They proceeded to a private room and food was served soon after. As Sheng Jiaoyang stared at the dishes served one by one, she didn't know what expression to use to face the man sitting opposite her.

She'd ordered all these dishes before...

"Give it a try. The food here tastes similar to the dishes you prepare at home," Shen Zhining said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Of course, they'd taste similar! After all, I've bought all my dishes from this place...

Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Shen Zhining and felt like a mouse caught by a cat, who'd promised to let her go but didn't. And, it was at this moment that she sadly realised she'd been fooled by Shen Zhining.

After thinking about it, Sheng Jiaoyang decided to confess and earnestly admitted, "Actually...all the food that I've 'prepared' lately were bought from this restaurant..."

As for Shen Zhining, he simply sat there, leisurely waiting for her to turn herself in.

"I'm a terrible cook and didn't want you to go hungry, so I ordered food from this restaurant."

Shen Zhining nodded, but his expression seemed to say otherwise, as if he hadn't believed a single word she'd said.

His aim was to warn a certain someone that he knew of all the things she did, so she better behave and stop playing tricks in the future.
