Jiang Chuchu had intentionally ignored the fact that she was the one who brought the two together from the very beginning. To her, it was merely a way to provoke Bao Ming into realizing his true feelings. However, Rao Jie, who knew nothing, had also developed feelings for Bao Ming. This was Rao Jie’s fault; she had stolen Bao Ming away.
So, Jiang Chuchu was simply reclaiming what belonged to her. She never expected Rao Jie to be so malicious—if she couldn't compete with a man, she would try to take away her academic achievements. Based on what Jiang Chuchu knew about Rao Jie, despite her weaknesses in certain subjects, she might manage to get into other prestigious universities, but Shencheng University had high requirements for mathematics, and Rao Jie would never pass.
Jiang Chuchu was unwilling to believe that Rao Jie could make significant progress, so what she saw today provided her with the answer. Rao Jie had actually gotten involved with a professor at the school; no wonder it seemed like she could solve any problem now. Let’s see how Rao Jie could compete with her after this!
Meanwhile, Rao Jie thought they were going home for dinner. However, she was surprised when Wu Rong took her to a high-end restaurant in the city instead. Through his conversation with the staff, Rao Jie learned that reservations needed to be made several days in advance. It turned out Wu Rong had booked this restaurant quite early.
As Rao Jie followed Wu Rong into a room that resembled a candlelit dinner from television—with flowers, candles, and elegant decorations—soft classical music played in the background. Rao Jie was stunned and turned to look at the composed Wu Rong, stammering, “We… are eating here?”
Wu Rong nodded and said, “The hygiene here is good, and the food tastes great. Ye Ming recommended it, so I thought we’d give it a try and celebrate your exam completion. Come on in and sit down.”
Rao Jie felt a bit dumbfounded; it was her first time dining in such an environment, and it felt strange. Once seated, she felt restless.
Wu Rong noticed her discomfort and looked up to ask, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it here?”
Rao Jie was taken aback; before she could respond, Wu Rong said, “Then let’s go somewhere else.”
She hurriedly stopped him, “No… it’s not that. I’ve just never been here before; it feels quite novel.”
Wu Rong smiled and replied, “It’s also quite new for me; I’ve never had such a formal dinner date with a girl before.”
Just as Rao Jie took a sip of water, she nearly spat it out. “A… date?”
Wu Rong's smile was hard to describe. "Isn't it?"
Rao Jie felt her heart racing, captivated by Wu Rong's charming expression. She silently shifted her gaze and continued drinking water. If it weren't for Wu Rong, she might have misunderstood the situation.
On a date in a foreign country... it couldn't mean that, could it?
Wu Rong had made special arrangements in advance, and Rao Jie couldn't possibly refuse him. So, she obediently enjoyed a meal with Wu Rong.
I must say, the place chosen by Wu Rong and Ye Ming had absolutely no complaints about the food. After they finished eating, they were even served exquisite desserts.
The moment Rao Jie saw the dessert, her mood brightened. Just one bite, and she recognized it as the same dessert she had at the banquet.
Her eyes lit up instantly as she couldn't help but ask, "Was it made by that pastry chef?"
Wu Rong was taken aback for a moment before laughing, "You really are impressive; you can tell just from tasting it! I just thought it was delicious. This restaurant collaborates with that Dessert Shop, so we can enjoy it here. But you do have quite the talent in this area! Why not skip the graduate studies in economics? That sounds boring. Just become a Pastry Chef instead! With your current skills, I could invest in opening a Dessert Shop for you."
