Songtang Restaurant was the most expensive private restaurant in the city. The moment Yan Xi pushed Gu Shen into the dining room, she was dazzled by the decor.
The interior of the dining room was decorated in a European style. Almost every chair exuded the smell of money. The chandeliers were decorated with several dazzling diamonds. Even the handrails of the stairs were plated with gold.
“Wow. That’s a lot of money!” Yan Xi was excited. “I like it here!” Of course, it would be even better if I could take them back home.”
As if having read through her mind, Gu Shen said coldly, “The things here are specially customized and are not for sale.”
“I see.” Yan Xi sounded disappointed. She tutted a few times to express her dissatisfaction.
Gu Shen understood what she meant and his eyebrows twitched. “You only see money?”
“No.” Yan Xi said very naturally, “And you.”
After all, Gu Shen represented money in a certain sense. The income of the Gu Electronics company alone would exceed 100 billion yuan in the subsequent quarter.
Gu Shen was quite satisfied with this answer. He even thought of getting Gu Yi to purchase this restaurant.
Yan Xi pushed Gu Shen up to the third floor. After taking a few steps, she saw a figure raising his arm in the distance. “Gu Shen, hurry up. We already ordered the dishes and are waiting for you to pay!”
When he walked closer and saw Yan Xi, surprise flashed across his eyes, but he still extended his hand like a gentleman.
“Hello, Fu Xing.”
Yan Xi still had some impression of Fu Xing. He was a good friend of Gu Shen’s. According to the book’s storyline, he was one of the top scientists in this world. At the same time, he had a lot of connections and recommended many top-notch people to Gu Shen.
Yan Xi quickly replied with a smile, “Yan Xi, Gu Shen’s wife.”
Just as their hands were about to touch, Gu Shen suddenly grabbed Yan Xi’s wrist and pulled her to the side.
“Aren’t you hungry? Let’s eat.”
Yan Xi didn’t find his behavior weird. She replied happily, “Okay!”
Fu Xing tutted and sat opposite the two. “You are getting quite over protective of her.”
Fu Xing teased as he poured Gu Shen a glass of wine. “Fourth Master Gu, it’s not a good thing to be jealous all the time. Drink some wine to calm down.”
“Of course I will definitely empty your pocket tonight, but at the same time, I really didn’t expect you to act like that just now.”
Yan Xi could not be bothered to care about the conversation between the two. She only buried her head in her meal. If she felt that something was delicious, she would put it into Gu Shen’s bowl. Unknowingly, the food in Gu Shen’s bowl had already piled up into a small mound.
Fu Xing watched closely and was very curious about what Gu Shen would do next. He had always been a vigilant and careful person and would never eat food that people put into his bowl.
Fu Xing sighed. Just as he was certain that Yan Xi would be disappointed, Gu Shen picked up his chopsticks and ate the fresh shellfish.
“Are you full?”
Yan Xi shook her head honestly.
“Make sure you are full, don’t worry about me.”
“But I think this is delicious.” Yan Xi blinked and picked up another piece of smoked sausage, putting it on Gu Shen’s plate.
Gu Shen took a bite. “Indeed.”
“I knew it!”
Fu Xing opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not have the chance to interrupt. There seemed to be a natural shield surrounding the two, isolating the others outside.
When Yan Xi lowered her head to eat again, he finally had the chance to speak. “Fourth Master Gu, you’re really something! I guess I didn’t know you that well after all.”
Gu Shen looked up and glanced at him coldly, his eyes full of warning.
Seeing that, Fu Xing smiled. “It’s useless looking at me like that. I’m telling the truth.” Then, he looked at Yan Xi and teased, “Right, Gu Shen’s little darling?”

“Do you have to speak when no one asks you to?” Gu Shen pursed his lips. One could not tell his emotions, but his ears were slightly redder than before.
“I don’t, but I couldn’t help but make a comment upon seeing this lovey-dovey interaction between you two.”
“If you say one more word, I’ll withdraw what I invested in your research institute.”
“Stop! Gu Shen, there’s no point talking about money. This money is just a worldly possession. How can you use it to insult those high-end and mighty researchers? So just leave this money to me for safekeeping.”
