Unlike Ye Xiyuan’s guilt, Ye Lengan felt no different after stepping out of the exam hall than on any other day. For her, the college entrance exam was just a routine test.
Exiting the exam hall, she spotted Huangfu Ruiling sitting in a wheelchair beside a Rolls-Royce not far away, patiently waiting.
Approaching, she greeted, “Have you been waiting long?”
“Not at all, just arrived,” replied Huangfu Ruiling with a smile. “Shall we go? I’ll take you for dinner.”
Quickly boarding the car, Ye Lengan observed the changing scenery outside and asked Huangfu Ruiling, “Where are we going for dinner?”
The route didn’t seem to lead to the bustling center of the capital city but rather to the outskirts. She wondered if there were any dining places in the suburbs.
Huangfu Ruiling smiled mysteriously and said, “Today, we’re going to a special place to celebrate the end of your college entrance exam.”
Raising an eyebrow at his enigmatic demeanor, Ye Lengan refrained from further questions.
Thirty minutes later, the car stopped outside a courtyard on the outskirts.
Huangfu Ruiling exited the car, walked to the other side, and opened the door, extending his hand. “My princess, please step out!”

“This is a renowned private restaurant,” explained Huangfu Ruiling. “The owner is said to be the descendant of a royal chef, serving only one table of guests daily.”
Interlocking hands, they entered the courtyard.
Li San did not follow.
“Why not use the wheelchair today?” Ye Lengan asked curiously as they walked. “Aren’t you afraid of being seen?”
“There are no outsiders here,” Huangfu Ruiling explained, smiling. “And I don’t necessarily need the wheelchair.”
“Huh?” She found it strange. “Then why have you been using it?”
“Out of habit,” replied him. “Initially, I couldn’t stand up. Later, it was to keep a low profile. And eventually, it became a habit. Besides, this is a private restaurant, and we are the only guests today. No outsiders.”
After this explanation, Ye Lengan felt a bit speechless. She had speculated about why Huangfu Ruiling, who had no leg problems, always used a wheelchair. She had considered many reasons but never thought it was out of habit.
The courtyard’s scenery was beautiful, with a garden filled with precious flowers and a small pond in the center. At dusk, the setting sun’s glow cast a serene atmosphere.
While Ye Lengan admired the view, Huangfu Ruiling led her through a corridor to an elegant room.
In the room’s center was a table, but the most eye-catching elements were the decorations.
“This owner is really wealthy!” Ye Lengan sighed as she looked around. “Are these vases and paintings antiques? Each one must cost at least a million! Is he not afraid of them getting damaged here?”
“This private restaurant is selective with its clientele. How else could they have only one table of guests daily?” Huangfu Ruiling said. “The diners here are cultured; they won’t do such things. And if something breaks, the customers are willing to pensate.”
Understanding, Ye Lengan nodded. “True. But this boss has quite the personality! ”
Huangfu Ruiling smiled without responding.
The two sat down quickly.
Since it was a reserved private restaurant, the dishes arrived promptly upon their arrival.
As Ye Lengan beheld the meticulously arranged, aromatic dishes on the table, she felt her taste buds awakening. She picked up a piece of meat and tasted it.
After savoring it, her eyes widened, and she immediately put a piece of meat in Huangfu Ruilings bowl. “Ling, try it! It’s really delicious! No wonder this boss has such a personality; his skills are impressive!”
She considered it the most delicious dish she had ever tasted. When she heard it was prepared by the descendant of an imperial chef, her interest had already been piqued. Now, she was certain she had made the right choice ing here.
Observing Ye Lengan sharing the delectable food, Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes softened with a gentle smile. “Alright, if you like it, we can e here more often in the future.’
“But didn’t you say there’s only one table per day?” Ye Lengan blinked and smiled. “It must be hard to book!”
“As long as you want, you can e and dine anytime,” Huangfu Ruiling spoke casually, stating a fact. “I’ll arrange it.”
“No need.” Ye Lengan shook her head. “Although the food is delicious, it’s not something I’d want to indulge in regularly. Besides, the boss is quite principled. It’s better not to break his rules.”
If she were to e, wouldn’t she take someone else’s reservation? That wouldn’t be fair!
After hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Huangfu Ruiling smiled and shook his head. Then he said, “l won’t break the boss’s rules. Even if you e, you won’t take someone else’s reservation.’
“Huh?” Ye Lengan was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter. “l thought the boss here was very principled!”
Turns out, she had overthought.
“What were you thinking?” Huangfu Ruiling smiled, explaining, “1 used to help the boss here. So, as long as I like it, 1 can e for dinner anytime. I’ll let the boss know. You can e whenever you want.”
Ye Lengan stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes at Huangfu Ruiling, and said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I thought you were trying to take advantage of others!”
“What nonsense!” Huangfu Ruiling extended his hand, lightly knocking on Ye
Leng’an’s forehead.. “Am 1 that kind of person?”
