After receiving Shen Muting's response, Li Man did not send him any more messages for fear of disturbing his work.

Shen Lu drove her car and took her to an inconspicuous small restaurant.

The restaurant was not big, with only five tables, three of which were occupied. She and Shen Lu had just sat down, and the last table was full.

Li Man held the menu. The menu was handwritten. It only had the name of the dish and the price. It was written in English and French.

Li Man ordered a steak and a vegetable salad.

Shen Lu saw that she only ordered two things, "Is it enough to eat? The food here is not expensive and tastes good. Don't be reluctant to order to save money for me, right?"

"Order these first. If it's not enough, I'll add more." Li Man said.

She doesn't like to order more, she likes to order a little, and if it's not enough, add more, so as to avoid waste.

Shen Lu smiled and said, "That's okay."

He ordered a steak, a garlic bread, and a cheese soup, and then said to Li Man, "The owner of this Western restaurant is an old lady. The old lady's husband used to be the chef of a three-star Michelin restaurant. In fact, this old lady’s cooking skills are as good as her husband’s, and she likes to delve into food. She opened this restaurant partly because of her interest, and partly because she can also earn more income. This restaurant is not open all year round, sometimes only half the year. Without opening the door, the couple would go back to travel around the world, and even live there for a while.”

"It's really enviable. Whether it's the couple's relationship or their living conditions, it's really good."

"You and Mr. Shen will only be better in the future." Shen Lu said sincerely.

He participated in the whole process and was the person who knew best how much effort Shen Muting put in and what he did.

Li Man took a sip of lemonade, glanced at him, and suddenly laughed.

Shen Lu was confused, "Why are you laughing? Don't believe it? What I said is true. I am the one who knows best what he did and watched him work hard for it."

"Yeah, it's not that I don't believe what you said. It's because when I learned that you knew the truth about his fake death, I felt that you were the person he trusted the most. He should really live with you."

"I don't dare. I am in awe of Mr. Shen, and I want to live for a few more years." Shen Lu thanked Bumin.

Li Man laughed and immediately attracted the attention of the people eating around him.

Realizing that he was in a small restaurant, Li Man quickly lowered his voice and apologized to others, "Sorry, sorry."

People around her were friendly, smiling at her and amazed by her beauty.

Li Man is a fashion designer with good taste and extremely beautiful appearance. Even though she is wearing very simple clothes now, she still has a unique beauty. She is stunning at first glance and becomes more and more charming upon closer inspection.

There are only two people in the store. The boss is responsible for cooking in the back kitchen, and there is a waiter who helps in the back kitchen when not serving food and clearing tables.

The pace of life here is very slow, and people don't rush to serve food. They just drink juice or coffee and chat in low voices while waiting.

Li Man waited for a while before serving the food.

The fruit salad was served first, and Shen Lu's soup and bread were also served.

The two of them started eating first, and after a while the steak was ready.

Li Man praised, "The taste is really great. It's not inferior to what Mu Ting and I had at the Michelin restaurant for lunch today."

"Well, Mr. Shen has come here to eat before when he was not busy."

"yes."

Shen Muting is the kind of person who can be tried by both high-spirited and humble people. He is not like some rich people who like to show off.

He is very low-key, and only those who know him know that he is also gentle. However, because of his high position, he still makes people feel a sense of oppression.

After eating, Li Man was ready to go back to the hotel.

Although it was still early, she didn't plan to go shopping anymore. She was tired after shopping all afternoon. Moreover, Shen Lu could also help Shen Muting with work matters. One more person would definitely be more efficient.

Shen Lu sent Li Man back to the hotel and then drove to the company.

Li Man sorted out the things he bought, and put the things he wanted to take back as gifts directly into his suitcase.

She hasn't booked a return ticket yet. When Shen Muting comes back, she has to ask her when she plans to go back.

Shen Muting's dinner was steak and juice that Li Man packed for him.

After finishing his work, he went directly back to the hotel.

Li Man was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and she had almost finished the book she brought.

Seeing Shen Muting coming back, Li Man immediately put down the book in his hand and said, "You're back."

"Well, what did you buy while shopping? Are you happy?"

"I'm happy. I bought a lot of gifts and a lot of things for myself. I spent a lot of money." Li Man said, "Let's put it this way, it's my first time to go shopping and buy so many things."

Those few bags alone were her salary in the past few years.

"Just be happy. Money is for spending. I'm going to take a shower first and then we'll talk." Shen Muting went to the bathroom in a good mood. When he heard Li Man say the word "gift", he felt even better. .

Let's take a shower first. After taking a shower, we'll find out what gift Li Man bought him.

Shen Muting took a shower and came out of the bathroom.

There was still water dripping from his head, and he was wiping his hair with a towel as he walked towards the sofa. He was only wrapped in a white bath towel, revealing his strong upper body, with clear and lean muscles, and a typical inverted triangle figure.

Li Man was still nestled on the sofa. When he came closer, he took the towel in his hand and wiped his hair.

The dark green silk nightgown brushed against his body, feeling cool and silky.

Shen Muting glanced around.

Li Man saw that he seemed to be looking for something, "What are you looking for? Do you want to drink water? I'll get you a drink."

As she said that, she was about to get up and pour him a glass of water, but was stopped by Shen Muting, "No, you said you bought something, where are the things?"

"Oh, I bought two pairs of clothes for myself and hung them in the cloakroom. The gifts I bought for grandma, Aunt Qi, Uncle Tang and Xin'er Ningning were packed in the suitcase. By the way, I also gave them to Shen Lu's wife. I bought gifts, a LV bag, and a set of perfume and skin care products.”

"Really?" Shen Muting concealed the disappointment in his heart and responded lightly.

He didn't lack anything, but the meaning of her buying it was different.

She bought things for many people while shopping, but she didn't think of him and didn't buy them for him.

Shen Muting felt very sour. It seemed as if what he was sitting on was not a sofa, but under a lemon tree. It was so sour, so sour.

"Well!" Li Man didn't notice his disappointment, and then talked about the small restaurant where Shen Lu took her to have dinner, "It's the place that packs steak juice for you. Assistant Shen said that when you had time before Went there to eat too.”

"Hmm." Shen Muting thought to himself. If he had known this, he shouldn't have let Shen Lu go shopping with her. She should have let Shen Lu handle the work on his behalf.

Downstairs, Shen Lu was in his room, making overseas phone calls with his wife Yao Yunxi, when he suddenly sneezed twice in a row.
