Chapter 503 - A Date
Chapter 503 A Date
Seeing Liang Shaohun’s expression, Mo Yichen also showed an unusual surprise.
Unexpectedly, after Liang Shaohun was slapped by Manla, he had a crush on her.
That was really uncommon.
Judging from Manla’s characteristics, if Liang Shaohun really had a crush on Manla, it would be extremely difficult for him to go after Manla.
But when Gu Yan saw the look of Liang Shaohun, she thought a while and then nodded.
If Liang Shaohun really wanted to ask Manla out, there would also be a chance for him. And if Liang Shaohun could concentrate on one woman, he must be a good man.
“Okay, I will lend you a hand.” Gu Yan smiled and her eyes were brimmed with tease for Liang Shaohun.
Gu Yan called Manla in the evening after she finished her work. She wanted to help Liang Shaohun to ask Manla out.
She had some spare time now. If she went back to work, it would be difficult for her to help Liang Shaohun. Besides, Xiangyan’s condition was stable and she was not occupied completely at that moment.
“Manla, are you free tonight? I would like you to have dinner.”
Liang Shaohun became excited when he knew Gu Yan was helping him ask Manla out.
“What else I can do? I just got off work and ready to go home. Why do you invite me for dinner?” A sluggish voice came out in the other end of the line.
Gu Yan was afraid that she would let the cat out of the bag if Manla asked more questions, because she wasn’t good at telling lies. So, she said, “I just want to appreciate you for your favor. And we haven’t met for a long time. So, I want to make up you.”
Gu Yan knew that Manla might not come if she just said that she wanted to treat her because of her help.
“Alright, send me the address and I’ll be there.” Then she hung up the phone.
Gu Yan gestured to Liang Shaohun to indicate that Manla had agreed.
Liang Shaohun began to suck up to Gu Yan at once, “Thank you, sister-in-law. You’re so obliging. May you a forever youth and always eighteen years old.”
Gu Yan was amused by his words, and said, “Alright, I have done whatever I could do. The rest part will depend on you. Try you best!”
“Ok. I’ll do my best.”
“Book a restaurant and I’ll tell her to go there.”
Liang Shaohun booked a top-end western-style restaurant at once. It was, after all, a common thing that a man should pay if he wanted to chase after a girl. Although the money paid for the restaurant was nothing to Liang Shaohun, we could see from it that he took the date seriously.
Gu Yan sent the address of the restaurant to Manla. Receiving the location sent by Gu Yan, Manla became a little bit bewildered, and murmured, “Is it necessary? Is it just because I did you a favor today and you booked such a good restaurant?” Manla shook her head without much thinking. And then she drove to the restaurant.
Liang Shaohun went home quickly to put on a brand-new suit, a bow tie and polished shoes. Then He arrived at the restaurant in advance and waited Manla.
After a while, Manla appeared in the restaurant. Seeing Manla, Liang Shaohun walked up to her at once.
Manla felt something wrong when she found the person who came to her was Liang Shaohun instead of Gu Yan. Generally speaking, there should not be anyone else in such an occasion. But why did Liang Shaohun appear here?
She didn’t search to pick on him due to his misconduct in the hospital today, while he sent himself to her unexpectedly in the evening.
“This way, please, Miss Man.” Liang Shaohun motioned to her.
Manla glowered at Liang Shaohun, but she still walked up to the seat. Liang Shaohun carefully pulled out the chair for her.
At the minute Manla sat down, she asked, “Where is Gu Yan?”
Liang Shaohun smiled awkwardly and said, “Sister Gu is busy tonight and she can’t come, so here I am.”
Manla definitely knew that he was making excuses to brush her off.
“Gu Yan must do this deliberately.” Manla thought. But she had no choice but to let this happen.
Liang Shaohun waved to the waiter and let him bring them the menu. He said to Manla, “Feel free to order whatever you want.”
Manla wasn’t that kind of person, so she just ordered a few dishes.
Overflowed with joy on his face, Liang Shaohun said, “I haven’t formally introduced myself to you. Hello. I’m Liang Shaohun, Mo Yichen’s good friend.
“Manla, Gu Yan’s bestie.” Manla said indifferently. Manla was still angry at him, so that she was reluctant to talk to him.
“As to the thing happened in the hospital this afternoon, I misunderstood you. So, I want to apologize to you now.” Liang Shaohun raised his goblet to show his apology.
Manla was unwilling to forgive him, but she still raised her goblet because of Liang Shaohun’s sincerity.
“It’s okay, you didn’t know me, and you didn’t mean to hurt anyone. Mo Yichen explained it clearly at last.”
“No, no, no, it’s quite different. I made the mistake. It’s my duty to apologize to you personally.”
Hearing that, Manla changed her impression of Liang Shaohjui a little. She didn’t think he was who she imagined.
As the misunderstanding between them was resolved, they started to chat and eat. Liang Shaohun, however, couldn’t focus on having dinner, because he came here not for the dinner.
What he wanted to do tonight was to get more contact information of Manla.
“You must ask Gu Yan for help to date me tonight, right?” Manla asked directly.
Liang Shaohun smiled, “Yes. I asked her to help me. That was because I was afraid that you would not come if I invited you. What’s more, I don’t have your phone number, so that I am unable to contact you. Therefore, why not tell me your phone number and I will not bother Gu Yan when I ask you out next time.”
Certainly, Manla knew what he meant. In spite of the unpleasant encounter between them, the conversation was not bad at that time.
Manla thought it over and then nodded, while Liang Shaohun kept smiling during her thinking.
Then they exchanged their phone number and WeChat.
“That’s real progress.” Liang Shaohun’s face was filled with smiles, which had not disappeared since he saw Manla. And he was happier at that moment.
Although he met Manla at a wrong time, it still couldn’t stop that he was deeply touched by her.
He liked Manla not because of the slap, but the dignity and persistence that Manla showed during their first encounter.
So, he was fond of Manla. No, it was also not fondness but a hazy good feeling. It was the first time for Childe Liang. It was just because of this, Liang Shaohun wanted to ask Manla out and maintain more connections with her.
Liang Shaohun said goodbye to Manla after he got Manla’s phone number and worked out the time they would meet next. Then Liang Shaohun called Gu Yan to tell her the good news.
And he also wanted to appreciate her help. He could not ask Manla out and get her phone number without Gu Yan’s help.
Of course. He also needed to tell Mo Yichen the good news.
At that moment, Childe Liang wanted the whole world to know that he had Manla’s phone number!
