Chapter 704 — Somewhat Jealous

"..." Gu Mengyao glared at her. Honestly—bickering with her from morning to night, she glared so much she was going to wear her own eyes out.

Wei Zhao had long since grown used to the quarrels between Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. The two of them had always been like this—bickering and squabbling nonstop—yet their bond was frighteningly close.

Gu Mengyao pulled Shen Yushu into the back seat. The Beetle's rear was cramped, but it was no problem seating two slender girls.

Shen Yushu was a little uncomfortable. "Ugh, it's so cramped. I want to sit in the front."

"Your tits are too big, that's why it's cramped. Just cut them off and you'll be fine," Gu Mengyao said sourly.

Wei Zhao hadn't gotten in yet—he was leaning against the driver's door waiting for Tang Zhi—which was exactly why Gu Mengyao dared say such a thing. Only, Wei Zhao's ears were sharper than most, and he heard every word from outside.

"Yao-yao, you're jealous of me." Shen Yushu clutched her chest and eyed Gu Mengyao warily.

"As if anyone cares. Plenty of women have big chests—it's nothing special these days." Gu Mengyao curled her lip.

"That's true too. The first wife and the second wife should each have their own charms—being the same wouldn't do, it wouldn't attract anyone." Shen Yushu nodded in agreement.

Gu Mengyao had no way to respond to that, so she said nothing more.

Before long, Tang Zhi emerged from the First Inpatient Department. Spotting Wei Zhao, she broke into a quick jog toward them.

Through the car window, one could see that Tang Zhi's figure was well proportioned—her chest neither too large nor too small, her legs straight and slender, her height no less than Gu Mengyao's. In the parking lot washed by the setting sun, her ponytail swung from side to side, brimming with an indescribable youthful vitality.

Gu Mengyao had to admit that Tang Zhi was perfect—a classic beauty—and it made her a little jealous.

"The two of us together won't lose to her alone!" Shen Yushu had seen Tang Zhi too, and noticing Gu Mengyao's unconvinced expression, she spoke up.

"..." Gu Mengyao was speechless. A human-wave tactic? Or was it a three-pronged tactic? Even if they won, wouldn't it be shameful? Besides, when had she ever said she wanted to marry Wei Zhao? She merely felt he took good care of her, that was all...

Catching sight of the Beetle behind Wei Zhao, Tang Zhi was taken aback. She had ridden in this car before, but it was obviously not Wei Zhao's—it must belong to Gu Mengyao or Shen Yushu.

"Have you been waiting long? Sorry..." Tang Zhi smoothed the bangs on her forehead and spoke apologetically.

In front of Gu Mengyao, she could not afford to lose her poise; otherwise, on any ordinary day, Tang Zhi would not have said such a thing.

"It's fine. Get in." Wei Zhao opened the passenger door for Tang Zhi.

At that moment Tang Zhi also noticed Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu in the back seat, and felt a little awkward. "Isn't it a bit improper for me to sit in the front?"

"Oh, oh, that's perfect then, I wanted to sit in the front anyway! Shall we switch?" Shen Yushu was delighted to hear Tang Zhi "reluctant" to sit up front.

"Little Shu, shut up!" Gu Mengyao clapped a hand over Shen Yushu's mouth, shot her another glare, and only then said to Tang Zhi, "You're our guest—of course you sit in the front."

In fact, Gu Mengyao genuinely thought so. The car was rather small, and it wouldn't do to make Tang Zhi sit in the back.

Hearing that Shen Yushu wanted to sit in the front, Tang Zhi felt a little too embarrassed to take the seat—yet sitting next to the young mistress was indeed somewhat awkward as well, so for a moment she was caught in a dilemma.

"Tang Zhi, don't listen to Little Shu's nonsense. That's just her personality—she jabbers on every day. Once you've spent more time with her, you'll understand." Seeing Tang Zhi's predicament, Gu Mengyao felt rather embarrassed herself. She had invited the woman to dinner to thank her, not to declare war! What the future held was hard to say, but today she absolutely had to be sincere.

"Heh, yeah," Tang Zhi said with a smile. Inwardly, though, she was thinking: how could there possibly be much contact between us from now on? The kind of luxurious life Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu led was far, far beyond her reach—her own family did not even have a place to live yet.

Tang Zhi got into the car. Wei Zhao climbed in after her, started the engine, and asked, "What do you want to eat? Where to?"

"Listen to me—I know a super-flashy Western restaurant!" Shen Yushu said.

Seeing that Gu Mengyao did not object either, Wei Zhao nodded and said, "All right."

"Turn left up ahead... then right... then get on the elevated expressway, take the middle on-ramp... then come off at the off-ramp on the right front... then..." Shen Yushu began to direct, more efficiently than a navigation system.

Following the route Shen Yushu laid out, Wei Zhao parked in front of a place called the "Super-Flashy Couples' Western Restaurant." Wei Zhao was somewhat speechless. The name of this restaurant was every bit as outrageous as that "Gelivable Floating Clouds Bar"—these two couldn't be a chain, could they?

Gu Mengyao looked at the enormous sign above the Western restaurant and was likewise at a loss for words. It really was super-flashy! Only—this was a couples' Western restaurant? Weren't couples the only ones who came to such a place? What did it mean for the four of them to come here? This combination really was a bit bizarre, wasn't it?

"Little Shu, this is a couples' Western restaurant? Maybe we should go somewhere else?" Seeing that everyone going in and out of the restaurant was a paired-off man and woman, Gu Mengyao frowned.

"We're already here, so let's not switch! I'm starving!" Shen Yushu shook her head and urged them on.

Gu Mengyao had no choice but to let Wei Zhao park the car properly and then get ready to step out.

The doorman parking cars at the entrance of the Western restaurant had assumed that a couple would be getting out of the Beetle, but to his surprise four people emerged, which struck him at once as rather odd: "Excuse me, are all of you here to dine?"

"Duh—if we weren't here to eat, why would we park the car here? There's nothing fun around here!" Shen Yushu thought the parking doorman was an absolute idiot, asking such idiotic questions.

"Oh... then please come in..." The doorman shook his head. Surely they weren't two couples? And one of them a pair of lesbians? he thought wickedly, ushering Wei Zhao and the others into the restaurant, where a waiter from the main hall came over to receive them.

"Good evening!" The lobby manager walked over and said politely.

"Get me a private room!" Shen Yushu studied the Western restaurant's decor with curiosity. She had seen an introduction to this restaurant online before, saying it was a paradise for lovers, and she had wanted to see it for herself—but she had no lover! She had heard that this place did not serve anyone who wasn't part of a couple, so she had had to give up on the idea. Today, though, she finally had her chance.

"One room?" The lobby manager was slightly taken aback. "The four of you, in one room?"

"That's right!" Shen Yushu nodded.

"I'm sorry, miss, but this is a couples' Western restaurant. We only have couples' private rooms and couples' booths, and we serve couples exclusively..." the lobby manager explained, assuming these were simply guests who had wandered in by mistake.
