Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 251: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 51
Jinghua No.1 was indeed Zhou Mingyu’s property; he had retained the restaurant, and the chef was just waiting for his command to prepare a delicious dinner again.
"Try this," Zhou Mingyu placed the plate in front of Su Zhiruan, the enticing aroma and flavor greatly uplifted her mood.
The melodious piano music started to play again, circling continuously in the restaurant, the taste buds excited by the meal paired with the audio-visual feast, made the dining experience quite pleasant.
"May I be so bold as to ask if Miss Su is free to stroll with me afterwards?" Zhou Mingyu offered a handkerchief considerately, gazing at her quietly.
"I’m free," Su Zhiruan dabbed the corners of her mouth with the handkerchief, folded it neatly, and placed it on the table. Looking up smiling at Zhou Mingyu, she said, "The rest of the time is yours to command, how’s that?"
"Good," Zhou Mingyu stood up and extended his hand towards her.
She placed her hand in his, and they walked out side by side.
Both of them were tall, and with Su Zhiruan in high heels, she stood right at Zhou Mingyu’s shoulder. They looked exceptionally well-matched, as if they were made for each other.
Occasionally, passing waiters couldn’t help but stop in their tracks to gaze at them walking by, inwardly expressing their amazement.
When they walked out the main door, the night breeze fell upon Su Zhiruan’s shoulders, bringing a touch of coolness.
"Wear a coat," Zhou Mingyu said as he came down the stairs, taking off his suit jacket and draping it over Su Zhiruan’s shoulders, "otherwise, you’ll catch a cold."
The jacket scented with sandalwood and warmth settled on her shoulders. Because Su Zhiruan had a petite frame with narrow shoulders, Zhou Mingyu’s jacket made her look even smaller.
"It seems too big…" she tightened the jacket around her and looked at Zhou Mingyu, who was in a white shirt.

Zhou Mingyu reached around her neck from behind, adjusted the coat for her, and his fingers left a trace of warmth where they brushed against her necklace—he leaned in and buttoned a button for her.
"They should have prepared another set of clothes for you," Zhou Mingyu’s hand slid down slowly, and at last, he took Su Zhiruan’s hand which extended from his suit jacket.
"This is a cocktail dress I carefully selected, planning to show it off during a live broadcast!" Su Zhiruan lifted her skirt slightly, her expression carrying a touch of smug pride, which made her seem all the more lively.
"It’s beautiful," Zhou Mingyu said with a smile as he led her further away, "Do you like little dresses and cocktail dresses?"
"Of course, most girls like these beautiful dresses and jewelry, right?" Su Zhiruan nodded, incidentally reminiscing about all the cocktail dresses in the original owner’s wardrobe.
Zhou Mingyu nodded understandingly. He said without hesitation, "I own a high-end clothing company that is doing well. If you like, I’ll give it to you."
Su Zhiruan: "Ah?!"
By this time, they had already walked some distance.
The shadows of the trees swayed under the streetlights. Behind Jinghua No.1 was a high-end villa community; there were few people around, only a few convenience stores, a flower shop, and a lottery station were open, with occasional cars merging into the traffic.
"I can’t take the clothing company, it’s too valuable," Su Zhiruan said honestly, waving her hand, then she added, "Mainly because managing a company seems so difficult. If you have any pretty dresses, just give me one."
"Alright, as you wish," Zhou Mingyu tightened his hold on her hand.
Just then, from the lottery station across the street, bursts of cheers erupted as someone apparently won a prize, shouting out to invite the people around to a barbecue.
Zhou Mingyu suddenly turned to look at her, "I saw a post online before, someone said if you don’t know what to do on a date, buy a lottery ticket together. The amount you win is the startup fund for the date."
"What if it doesn’t win?" Su Zhiruan’s gaze shifted away from the lottery station, curiously looking at Zhou Mingyu.
"If it doesn’t win, we’ll just keep strolling aimlessly like we are now."
"What if it wins a super large jackpot?" Su Zhiruan laid out the possibilities. After asking, she laughed herself, recognizing the improbability of so many ’what-ifs’.
But Zhou Mingyu didn’t feel she was asking too much. Seeing Su Zhiruan laugh, he reached out with his other hand, intertwining their fingers, "If it’s a super big prize, that means the bond between the two is too deep. Take the winnings and get married."
After speaking, both of them burst into laughter without having planned it.
Su Zhiruan nodded, "Since you said so, why don’t we give it a try?"
"Let’s go then." Zhou Mingyu took her across the street and headed straight for the lottery station.
The few people who had been shouting in front of the lottery station had now disappeared, leaving only a red-faced shop owner looking around at the door.
Seeing Zhou Mingyu come in, the shop owner retracted his gaze, "Hello, would the two of you like to buy a lottery ticket?"
Su Zhiruan looked at Zhou Mingyu, then at the shop manager.
She had been to lottery stations before, do managers really talk like that?
"Just grab a random one," Zhou Mingyu said, pulling out his phone to prepare for the payment, "How much?"
"Twenty yuan, take this one. Here you are, Miss," the manager said, directly pulling out a lottery ticket from the top and handing it to Su Zhiruan.
At this point, Su Zhiruan had already understood what was happening, so she pretended to be clueless and took the lottery ticket.
"Let’s scratch it off over there." Zhou Mingyu paid the money and sat down at a table with her, passing the small scraper to Su Zhiruan, "You do it."
Su Zhiruan pulled up a chair next to him, sitting very close to Zhou Mingyu. She tilted her head to look at him, "Together, since this is the start-up fund for our date, we need both people’s luck."
"Alright, you go first." Zhou Mingyu also picked up the scraper, and they each took one side of the lottery ticket, ready to start scratching.
The shop was very quiet at that moment, the silent atmosphere only filled with their breathing and heartbeats.
Su Zhiruan slowly scratched off the layer, revealing the pattern and the corresponding amount of money.
On Zhou Mingyu’s side, he was also methodically scratching.
But when her scraper moved to the last pattern and scratched it off, the number 1000000 slowly appeared.
One million!
She instinctively looked at Zhou Mingyu, her eyes sparkling, "We won!"
Zhou Mingyu feigned surprise, "One million!"
The shop manager had already run over shouting, "Oh my god, you actually won! And it’s one million!"
His voice was so loud, it even called over the young girl from the neighboring flower shop.
When she heard this lucky news, she immediately said excitedly, "You two are so lucky! We just made a big bouquet of roses in our shop, and to celebrate, I’ve decided to give this bouquet of fresh flowers to you two!"
The shop manager and a few people who had gathered around clapped joyously.
"We’re a match made in heaven."
Among the multitude of chaotic voices, Su Zhiruan heard the man beside her saying so.
She laughed, holding tightly to the huge bunch of costly new roses from F country, specially cultivated and worth millions, in her arms.
Zhou Mingyu, oh Zhou Mingyu!
Your little scheme is an open secret.
