Upon hearing Li Ze's arrangement, Wang Yumo immediately stood up.
She answered very loudly:
"Yes, Mr. Li! Don't worry! I will definitely keep a close eye on things at the store! I guarantee there won't be any problems!"
Li Ze nodded and smiled, praising her:
"Yes, I believe in you. The fact that you're so young yet manage the store manager's duties so well shows you're quite capable. Keep up the good work."
Upon hearing Li Ze's praise, Wang Yumo was immediately filled with enthusiasm.
She nodded happily, then turned and quickly ran back to the front desk to oversee the operation.
After Wang Yumo left.
Li Ze led Ruoran to a relatively small Western-style private room.
The two sat down facing each other.
The waiter brought the menu.
After browsing through the menu, she didn't order any of the very expensive seafood or Wagyu beef.
She ordered three very ordinary home-style dishes.
A plate of stir-fried green peppers and pork.
A plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
There was also a pot of pork rib and lotus root soup.
The dishes were served quickly.
Looking at the three very ordinary home-style dishes in front of him, a very complex emotion suddenly flashed in Li Ze's eyes.
He picked up his chopsticks, first taking a piece of stir-fried green peppers and pork and putting it in his mouth.
After chewing a couple of times, he put down his chopsticks and looked at the dishes in front of him.
His voice became somewhat low, yet carried a very warm feeling.
Li Ze began to speak:
"It's still the best to eat home-style dishes like this. To be honest, I haven't eaten these three dishes in a full eighteen years."
He picked up the soup bowl and took a sip of the pork rib and lotus root soup.
Then he continued:
"Now, eating it again, I really miss it."
If she were sitting opposite, she would also pick up her chopsticks and put a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes into her bowl.
She smiled after hearing Li Ze's words.
If one were to speak:
"Of course! This is the kind of food we ordinary folks eat. You, the big boss, spent eighteen years abroad, eating steak and Western food every day. Now that you're back, eating this will naturally feel different."
When Li Ze heard Ruoran say that, he quickly waved his hand.
He said with a smile:
"Oh, alright, honey, stop making fun of me. It's true I'm rich outside, but I never stop craving the food from our Dragon Country. Especially this simple stir-fried green peppers with pork, I've dreamed about it all the time."
Li Ze paused for a moment after saying this.
His expression became slightly more serious:
"And you. Every day I'm away, you're always on my mind."
When she heard Li Ze say "wife" and "a song in my heart with you," her face flushed slightly.
She quickly reminded him:
"Don't call me that. Just call me Ruoran. We haven't remarried yet."
Li Ze laughed heartily and answered very readily:
"Okay, okay, I got it, honey."
Ruoran was so angry that she immediately reached out with her chopsticks and lightly slapped the back of Li Ze's hand when she heard him still calling her "wife".
"Stop yelling! You just want to take advantage of me!"
Li Ze was hit, and he quickly withdrew his hand, feigning complete innocence.
"I was wrong, wife. I will never call you wife again."
Ruoran looked at him, saying he wouldn't call her "wife" anymore, but every sentence he uttered still contained the word "wife".
She really had no way to deal with him.
She sighed helplessly:
"Okay, okay, you've really left me speechless."
"Haha, I was wrong, I was wrong, honey."
"snort!"
Ruoran turned her head away and didn't look at him.
However, after she turned her head away, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but secretly turn up slightly.
After some joking around...
Li Ze put down his chopsticks.
His expression turned serious.
He looked at Ruoran and said:
"Alright, stop fooling around. Actually, besides the company matters we just discussed, there's another thing I want to talk to you about after I pulled you out of the store today."
Ruoran put down her chopsticks when she heard Li Ze say that he had other things to do.
She looked at Li Ze and asked:
"What is it? Tell me."
Li Ze took a sip of soup and then began to explain:
"That's right. This afternoon when I was at the flower shop, I received a call from my brother-in-law. He told me that Zixuan's illness has improved a lot."
Ruoran's face immediately lit up with joy upon hearing that Zixuan had recovered.
Li Ze continued:
"My brother-in-law said he plans to take Zixuan and my sister-in-law on a long trip to America. After all, Zixuan hasn't had many opportunities to travel these past few years because of her illness. Now that she's recovered, it's a good time for her to go out and see the world."
Then my brother-in-law asked me if I wanted to go and join them for a get-together.
Li Ze looked into Ruoran's eyes and continued:
"So I thought I'd take this opportunity to fly to America with you. On one hand, we can meet up with your brother and sister-in-law, and on the other hand, we can see if there's a suitable place there for our wedding or honeymoon."
Li Ze looked at Ruoran very gently:
"Besides, you haven't been abroad at all in all these years. I'll take you there to see the sights and change your mood."
He paused for a moment, then added:
"As for Mengli and Menghan, they're starting school the day after tomorrow, and their studies are quite demanding. So we won't be taking them this time; we'll arrange for them to go out during summer vacation."
"What do you think?"
Ruoran sat opposite him and listened quietly to what Li Ze had to say.
She first frowned slightly.
She looked at Li Ze and said softly:
"Fine, you've taken up my entire afternoon just for this."
However, her expression changed after she said that.
She thought for a moment, then continued:
"But this is indeed a very important matter. As for the children, they're about to start school, so it's certain they won't be able to go."
Ruoran looked at Li Ze.
She nodded and said very generously:
"But I think I can go with you."
When she said this, Ruoran had a very beautiful smile on her face.
As Li Ze stared at that smile, he suddenly felt a little dazed.
He looked at the smile on the face of the ten-year-old woman in front of him.
That kind of sweet smile, tinged with a touch of shyness.
Jian Shou looked exactly the same as when that long-haired girl smiled at him on the university campus eighteen years ago.
Li Ze held the soup bowl and looked at Ruoran.
He felt his heart skip a beat.
