Chapter 1750: Pulling Her Slightly Closer into His Arms
Yujie, are you done unpacking? Young Master Ling is asking us to go out to eat now,
Shi Xiaoya said.

Okay, okay.
Guo Yujie placed her own toiletries on the wash basin and ran out.
I checked before coming. Although Ning City is located in the Northwest and is not very developed, they have a wide variety of local delicacies. Besides having all kinds of noodles, they also have various soup bases and meat dishes, and they are all spicy—especially suitable for people who cannot do without spicy food.

Shi Xiaoya nodded enthusiastically with her.
I checked before coming too!

Filming was tough, especially when she had to follow the guests all the time.
The only thing she could look forward to was having a delicious meal that she liked after work.
Shi Xiaoya remembered that she still had not replied to Han Zhuoling and quickly replied to him,
We’re done unpacking. Are we going to eat now?


Hold on, I’ll come and look for you,
Han Zhuoling replied very quickly.
Not long after Han Zhuoling sent the message, Shi Xiaoya’s doorbell rang.
Shi Xiaoya went to open the door and saw Han Zhuoling and Tong Chunian standing outside.

We are both done, let’s go,
Shi Xiaoya said.
So she went out together with Guo Yujie.
The four of them walked to the lift and Han Zhuoling asked Shi Xiaoya,
What do you want to eat? I saw that the hotel has its own restaurant and the food seems okay.


It’s only 4 PM. The restaurant in the hotel probably hasn’t started operating yet, right?
Shi Xiaoya looked up, both of her eyes sparkling as she stared at him.
Let’s go to the streets nearby to take a look, shall we? There seems to be quite a lot of local snacks there.

Didn’t she just want to eat from the roadside stalls?
Han Zhuoling could not help but chuckle.
Let’s go.

Luckily, Han Zhuoling was wearing something more casual today. As he was not working, he did not dress so formally.
So now that they were walking on the local food street, he did not seem out of place.
However, even if he was wearing a casual outfit, he looked elegant from top to toe, so when he walked amid the smokey food street, he still seemed a little mismatched with the scene.
There were a lot of people walking about in the food street. Seeing that Shi Xiaoya was constantly being pushed and bumped into by the people around her, Han Zhuoling frowned and lifted his hand to secure Shi Xiaoya’s shoulder, squeezing out some personal space for her.
He pulled her slightly closer into his arms and carefully protected her, not letting anyone bump into her ever again.
Shi Xiaoya’s shoulder felt heated from his hold, and her other shoulder happened to lean against his chest.
Amid the crowd, she was being protected very well. Being protected so well by him made Shi Xiaoya’s heart beat faster uncontrollably.
She looked up and saw Han Zhuoling’s side profile. His brows were furrowed slightly, looking very stern and unhappy.
Even then, words could not describe how good-looking his side profile was.
In fact, Han Zhuoling felt as if he was in a battle against a great enemy. To prevent Shi Xiaoya from being bumped into or pushed past by other people, he furrowed his eyebrows and was on high alert.
When he noticed Shi Xiaoya’s gaze, he lowered his head to look at her.

Have you thought of what you want to eat?
Han Zhuoling asked.
Shi Xiaoya was in a daze and totally did not hear what he just said.
Seeing him look at her, she took quite a while to regain her senses.

Did you fall into a daze while staring at me?
Han Zhuoling asked, his eyebrow raised.

No…
Shi Xiaoya panicked and tried to explain. Although that was the truth, she was definitely not going to admit it.
She never expected Han Zhuoling to have seemingly changed his personality. He actually knew how to say such things now.

Why don’t we eat somewhere else?
As Shi Xiaoya was walking here, she felt that her suggestion earlier on seemed a little willful.
Han Zhuoling was very not used to this kind of crowded and squeezy places.
He kept frowning the entire time and seemed quite uncomfortable.
