Chapter 1107: Go Out to Eat
Gu Jingze turned around and said, “Okay, Go make arrangements for lunch.”
Secretary Lan heard this and nodded. “What would you like to eat?”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. “What do you want to eat?”
Lin Che said, “I… suddenly feel like eating barbecued meat.”
“Barbecued meat?”
“Yeah. Korean style barbecued meat.”
Gu Jingze frowned. He turned his head and said, “Go prepare.”
Secretary Lan was dumbfounded as she stared at Gu Jingze. To prepare this kind of thing…
Gu Jingze probably did not like eating that at all.
Gu Jingze never ate it and he probably didn’t know what it was either.
Secretary Lan looked at Lin Che. She was still gazing at Gu Jingze and didn’t seem to see her. Secretary Lan retreated and went to make preparations.
She prepared Korean cuisine and the food was ready outside.
Lin Che walked over and saw that the meat was already cooked. All she had to do was take it.
Lin Che looked at it impatiently and said, “Okay, I guess it is Korean…”
Gu Jingze naturally knew Lin Che. If she saw what she truly liked to eat, she would have already rushed forward gleefully.
“Is something wrong?”
Lin Che replied, “No. This is correct.” She didn’t want to cause any trouble, so she sat down and said to him, “Let’s eat. We can eat the meat with the dips.”
Gu Jingze frowned. “Is this different from what you wanted to eat?”
Lin Che took a piece of meat and said, “When we’re outside, the meat is barbecued on the spot. We cook and eat at the same time. The meat would be piping hot and delicious with side dishes.”
Gu Jingze sat there quietly and pondered. He said to her, “Okay. Stop eating that. Come with me.”
Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che along.
Lin Che looked at him. “Where are we going?”
“We’re going out to eat.”
“Ah, it’s too troublesome. This is the same too,” Lin Che said.
Although she was a little disappointed that she didn’t get what she expected, she did not want to cause any trouble.
His staff already prepared it and she would come across as troublesome.
However, Gu Jingze tugged her towards the exit. He gestured to Secretary Lan and instructed, “Distribute all this food.”
They have not touched the food, so other people could still eat it.
It was too late for Secretary Lan to ask if anything was wrong. The couple already walked out.
Secretary Lan looked at the uneaten meat and was disappointed.
She deliberately had the kitchen prepare the barbecued meat. As they had to barbecue the meat, there were many ingredients involved. She thought of many ways to figure out something that would suit Gu Jingze’s tastebuds. Little did she expect that not only would he not take a bite, he even took Lin Che away.
She could only look at the table and told the staff, “Keep the food.”

Outside, Gu Jingze walked with Lin Che. Looking ahead, he asked, “Does that restaurant serve barbecued meat?”
This type of barbecued meat is rather popular now. The moment they were out on the street, they immediately saw one.
Lin Che said, “Yes, yes. It is that kind.”
Gu Jingze turned around and gave her sunglasses and a baseball cap to put on. Because of her big belly, it was easier for her to disguise herself. But even so, she still had to keep a low profile. It did not mean that the disguise would make her completely unrecognizable.
Once that was done, Gu Jingze held Lin Che and they got out of the car. They went straight into the barbecue restaurant.
The restaurant had private rooms separated by curtains.
However, when they asked, the service staff said that there were no rooms available.
Gu Jingze looked around the restaurant. It was too noisy and would not be good for Lin Che. Thus, he took out a black card from his pocket. “Is anyone willing to give up their private room for us? My wife is pregnant and it’s not convenient for her to be outside. She wants to eat the barbecued meat here so we especially came here. I’m worried that she’ll bump into something here.”
The staff saw the black card…
She looked at Gu Jingze again and knew that he was rich.
She was hesitant as she looked around and said, “Let me ask my boss.”
Gu Jingze thanked her.
The boss came out. When he saw Gu Jingze, he froze and knew that he was definitely not an ordinary man. He also wanted to make them stay, so he quickly got a customer who just sat down to give way.
The boss told the customer that this man wanted the private room as his wife was pregnant and there was no empty room now. They were worried about the wife if they sat outside.
To thank the customer, the boss said that the meal would be on the house.
Gu Jingze naturally would not allow others to spend money on his behalf. He would definitely tip the restaurant later.
The guests inside saw Lin Che and Gu Jingze standing together. Although they thought that it was troublesome and did not want to give up their seats, the helpless restaurant boss already offered to waive their bill. This was already very tempting. Furthermore, Gu Jingze had a legitimate reason. It was understandable to want a quiet place to eat for his pregnant wife.
Thus, one of them said, “It’s okay. It’s for the pregnant lady’s convenience. It’s no big deal.”
They swapped places and the boss quickly said, “Please come in. Right this way.”
The customers who left turned around and looked at them. They thought that Gu Jingze was very thoughtful.
“Look at him. He’s so generous for his wife’s sake.”
“Why not for his child’s sake? Perhaps he is doing this because of the child.”
“Hmph. I believe it’s because he loves his wife.”
“Please. Just because he’s handsome, you think that he’s an angel. What a superficial society.”
Lin Che took the menu, walked in and started placing her order.
She always said that eating outside was not healthy. However, it was exactly outside food that was so satisfying. How could anyone help it?
Lin Che ordered a few plates of meat, and then made some fresh vegetables for Gu Jingze to eat.
Lin Che ate ecstatically. It was completely different from how she was just now.
Lin Che said, “This is really delicious.”
Gu Jingze said, “Next time, just tell me what you want to eat.”
Lin Che waved her hand dismissively. “It’s okay. If it’s really not possible usually, I can just make do with whatever.”
“Just make do?” Gu Jingze looked at her. “I don’t want you to settle. Just say what you want to eat. If I can’t even satisfy your tastebuds, what kind of husband am I?”
Lin Che looked at him. It was a small matter, but actually, the smaller the matter, the more one would show their true nature.
Many men liked to say that although they were not romantic enough or not thoughtful enough in the little things, they would devote everything to you when it came to big things. They would give the woman all the money in the household and everything else. What more could a woman ask for?
However, women wanted the little things that showed care and concern.
They probably didn’t even care about those major things.
These little things showed a man’s true heart.
If one really put in the effort, why was there a need to differentiate the big and little things?
However, Lin Che had also seen it before. Many men always said that they were too busy with work and they could not think of all these little things. They would ask their partners to make do.
