Chapter 272: Routine
Zhu Bufan arrived at the high-end Western restaurant Mi Tao had reserved for him along with Mi Cai.
This Western restaurant was the same one where Zhu Bufan had treated Long Na last time. It was run by the Dongfang Weimei family.
Indeed, this high-end Western restaurant had its unique features, with interior design, style, and flavors that were distinctive in the entire Tianhai City.
And the location of this place was also the hardest to reserve. Last time, Zhu Bufan managed to book a table because of Dongfang Weimei's influence. This time it was Mi Tao who made the reservation, and it seemed that old boy Mi Tao had put a lot of thought into it.
They entered the upscale Western restaurant.
A maid greeted them with a smile, her impeccable service manners left no room for faultfinding.
The maid inquired with a smile, then led Zhu Bufan and Mi Cai straight to the warm and romantic room.
At the very moment the maid led them inside, Dongfang Weimei had already appeared behind them, silently observing Zhu Bufan's back.
Her beautiful brows furrowed, her expression changing unpredictably.
Dongfang Weimei couldn't figure out how Zhu Bufan managed to be so appealing to women. Not long ago, because of her, he had brought Long Na, the heiress of the Dragon Gang. Now, because of Mi Tao, Zhu Bufan was here with her own icy beauty of a daughter.
It appeared that both of these beautiful women, who were no less attractive than herself, were connected to Zhu Bufan, hence Dongfang Weimei's mixed feelings.
She didn't understand her own behavior. Was it jealousy? How could she be jealous over a man? Or was it not jealousy? But seeing him with another beautiful woman did unsettle her heart.
Zhu Bufan and Mi Cai were unaware that Dongfang Weimei had seen them. At the moment, sitting in a room arranged by the maid, they quietly awaited the arrival of their steak.
Soon after, two blonde foreign girls, each holding a violin, walked into the room and began playing on the stage. At that moment, rose petals slowly began to drift down from the sky.
The two blonde girls played a foreign romantic song, and with the myriad rose petals, the atmosphere of the whole room was so romantic and tasteful.
One minute after the two blondes started playing, a woman dressed in pure white was raised from beneath the stage and began to quietly play the piano.
The ambience was very warm and romantic. However, Mi Cai's cold face remained unchanged.
Zhu Bufan and Mi Cai silently faced each other. It seemed as if they were quietly absorbing the atmosphere, yet, at the same time, as if they didn't know what to say to complement the warm and romantic mood.
After about fifteen minutes, the room door was opened. A waiter came in with steaks, another carried red wine, and a third held a large bouquet of roses.
Both Zhu Bufan and Mi Cai were surprised.
"What is dad trying to do?" Mi Cai muttered, lowering her head shyly, but her eyes sneakily glanced at Zhu Bufan.
Zhu Bufan immediately grasped the situation. Mi Tao, the old rascal, wanted to take advantage of the atmosphere and have Zhu Bufan make a move on Mi Cai, so his plan would come to fruition on the spot.
With this in mind, the corner of Zhu Bufan's mouth curled into a smile: "Hmph! Old man, you wish..."
"Good evening, sir, this bouquet of roses was specially prepared for your loved one," said the waiter holding the roses, stepping forward and handing them to Zhu Bufan.
Seeing this, Zhu Bufan had no choice but to accept the roses.
Upon closer inspection, the reason this bunch of roses was called custom made was because a diamond ring was embedded on top of it, currently shining with a blinding brightness.
"Holy shit, Mi Tao this old rascal is really good at designing this stuff..." Zhu Bufan cursed.
"Please give these flowers to your loved one," the waiter said.
Zhu Bufan was speechless, knowing he was set up by Mi Tao, and in such a setting, he could only brace himself and hand over the rose with the proposal ring to Mi Cai.
Mi Cai shyly accepted the roses and managed to say thank you in the end.
Who knew, at this moment, the waiter spoke up again: "Sir, shouldn't you put on the belated engagement ring for your loved one?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bufan thought about cursing out the waiter, for fuck's sake, Mi Tao definitely bribed you, you dare to meddle in my affairs for that benefit, let me tell you, don't provoke me, or else later I'll smack you, kid.
Of course, the last time they got engaged, Zhu Bufan indeed did not personally put an engagement ring on Mi Cai, he didn't even buy one.
Mi Cai's face turned red when she heard the waiter's words, luckily the lights in this warm and romantic room were dark red, so even though Mi Cai's face was red, it couldn't be seen.
Zhu Bufan hesitated greatly, should he put the engagement ring on for her?
"Sir, with such a nice ambiance, we wish you a happy engagement," the waiter spoke again.
The waiter, along with two other waiters who had arranged the steak and wine for Zhu Bufan and Mi Cai, began applauding in unison.
Oh my god...
Are you all professional actors?
Zhu Bufan was completely speechless, forced to stand up and then take the diamond ring from the bunch of roses and put it on Mi Cai.
"Alright, thank you everyone, we're going to start our meal now, please leave..." Zhu Bufan said in a rather unpleasant tone after putting the diamond ring on Mi Cai and sitting back down.
"Sir, don't rush, you've put the engagement ring on for your loved one, but your lover hasn't put it on for you yet..." As the waiter spoke, he took out another prepared diamond ring from his bag and handed it to Mi Cai.
"Come, beautiful miss, put on this ring imbued with responsibility for your husband..." said the waiter sincerely.
The corners of Zhu Bufan's mouth twitched. What do you mean by a ring imbued with responsibility, can you explain that to me?
Of course, this was what Zhu Bufan was thinking inside.
At this time, Mi Cai's face was as red as a ripe apple on Mount Fuji. She stood up shyly and received the diamond ring.
Zhu Bufan could only helplessly stretch out his hand.
"Congratulations to the couple for tying the knot..." As the ring was put on, the three waiters clapped their hands in unison and the music started to become more cheerful.
It left Zhu Bufan goddamn speechless, Mi Cai shy as hell.
This is all fucking scheming!
