Twenty minutes later, they were seated at a roadside skewers stall in the West district.

He had never been to a place like that. He could never understand how these places, with questionable food quality and hygiene standards, would be so popular.

Won't we be ill if we eat this?

At such a noisy place, can we even eat in peace?

Ning Ran was amused at how unsettled Nan Chen seemed to be.

Actually, she could empathize with Nan Chen for feeling out of place. Before her mom's company was snatched over by Luo Yi, Ning Ran's family was also well-to-do. Her mom had never allowed her to eat like a place like this.

“Why don't you go back first?” Ning Ran tried not to laugh.

Nan Chen didn't speak.

If he had a choice, he did not want to be in such an environment. But he had something important to ask Ning Ran today, so he had to stay.

As more crowds gathered around the stall, Nan Chen got increasingly uncomfortable.

There was still a long line of orders in front of theirs. He had no idea how long more they would have to wait.

Ning Ran stood up. “Why don't we go to another place instead?”

Nan Chen looked at Ning Ran. He wasn't sure if she was kidding.

“This place is indeed too noisy; it is not suitable for someone of your status. Let's go.”

Ning Ran said, as she stood up.

Nan Chen only followed her when he was sure Ning Ran was not being sarcastic.

“Let me bring you to a place.” Nan Chen said.

“Let's just go back to the hotel. I'm not in the mood for supper anymore.” Ning Ran seemed to have lost interest.

“I know of a place that sells flamed steak. It uses top-grade beef and also has the best sake. It's definitely better than skewers.” Nan Chen said.

If Nan Chen thought so highly of a place, it had to be really good.

That aroused Ning Ran's interest. She was curious how good that place could be, that deserved Nan Chen's recommendation.

“Ok, let's go then.”

Nan Chen brought Ning Ran to a restaurant that did not look very fancy. Nan Chen made a call when they were on the way, and Ning Ran was not sure if that was the reason the restaurant was empty.
