Both of them walked into the restaurant. As they had made reservations beforehand, the waiter proceeded to lead them to their table after they gave their names.

Lin Xinyan’s brows knitted into a frown. “Are we going to start eating even though they haven’t arrived?”

“You should have something to eat first,” Zong Jinghao insisted.

He arranged for the meeting here as he knew that she had developed a sweet tooth after she became pregnant. What more, she hardly ever left the house. Thus, he wanted her to try the desserts.

Lin Xinyan didn’t object. She thought that the place seemed rather classy and relatively peaceful. The other customers were also very well manner.

All the waiters working in this restaurant were guys. They each donned a black vest over their white shirt with a black tie on their collar. One of them walked to the front of their table and handed them a menu.

Opening up the menu, Zong Jinghao asked, “Is there anything in particular that you would really like to have?”

Lin Xinyan shook her head. “You decide.”

As she didn’t have morning sickness today, there wasn’t anything in particular that she really wanted to eat.

Zong Jinghao then proceeded to order two sets of desserts and a glass of goat’s milk.

“We’ll be serving your food shortly,” the waiter replied as he bowed slightly and left.
