Feng Kai Ze took Da Tian Ting to the most expensive restaurant in the city. She felt out of place in a restaurant full of rich people.

Mr Feng, lets go somewhere else to eat, Da Tian Ting said.

Feng Kai Ze held Da Tian Tings hand, and took her to a private corner table. He pulled out a chair for her, and they sat down.

This is the restaurant where I bought lunch for you yesterday, Feng Kai Ze said.

Everything on the menu here is expensive, Da Tian Ting said. I dont want to eat all the money in your wallet.

Da Tian Ting only brought enough money to buy groceries. She didnt want the pauper to become homeless.

Da Tian Ting held Feng Kai Zes hand, and failed to pull him up.

Where do you want to go? Feng Kai Ze asked.

Mr Feng, Im not looking down on you, Da Tian Ting said. I didnt bring enough money to even pay for one drink here. Later if we cant afford to pay, itll be embarrassing. Lets go somewhere else to eat.

Money isnt an issue, Feng Kai Ze said. You can order as much as you want.

Im not fussy about what I eat, Da Tian Ting said. Im happy to eat at a small cafe with you.

Trust me, Feng Kai Ze said. I can afford to pay for you to eat at this restaurant.

You dont have to take me here to impress me, Da Tian Ting said.

What dishes do you want to order? Feng Kai Ze asked.

Feng Kai Ze didnt expect pretending to be a pauper would be a hard task.

A waiter came to take Feng Kai Ze and Da Tian Tings order.

Sir, madam, what would you like to eat and drink today? the waiter asked.

Da Tian Ting winked at Feng Kai Ze to signal him to leave with her. But he ordered a list of dishes she never heard of before that sounded expensive.

Feng Kai Ze gave the waiter the menu, and the waiter took his order to the kitchen.

What are you thinking about? Feng Kai Ze asked.

About your wallet, Da Tian Ting said.

Do you like my wallet? Feng Kai Ze asked.

Im thinking if whats inside your wallet can save your pride, Da Tian Ting said.

What do you mean? Feng Kai Ze asked.

It means well be washing a lot of dishes today, Da Tian Ting said.

All you need to worry about is making your stomach full, Feng Kai Ze said. Im taking you shopping after we eat.

Since Feng Kai Ze acted confident, Da Tian Ting stopped worrying about washing dishes.

The waiter returned with the dishes Feng Kai Ze ordered. Da Tian Ting looked at the different spoons, forks and knives and was reminded of the past. She used to do everything for Shang Duan Hua, and missed out on opportunities like learning how to use fancy cutlery.

Why arent you eating? Feng Kai Ze asked. I chose the dishes you liked yesterday.

Mr Feng, arent you embarrassed to be seen in public with me? Da Tian Ting asked.

Why would I be? Feng Kai Ze asked.

Feng Kai Ze was angry at Shang Duan Hua for underestimating Da Tian Tings worth.

You know about my past, Da Tian Ting said. My fiance dumped me. I did everything for him for ten years. Now I dont even know how to do simple things like how to use these fancy cutlery.

Feng Kai Ze didnt pass Da Tian Ting a tissue, because he knew she was putting on a brave front for him by holding back her tears.

I think highly of you, Feng Kai Ze said. To me Shang Duan Hua and Da Ming Sheng are pathetic people.

Why? Da Tian Ting asked.

Shang Duan Hua is shallow, Feng Kai Ze said. He cant see how beautiful your heart is. Hes blinded by Da Ming Shengs two faced act. Da Ming Shengs youth will fade soon, and not enough makeup can hide her decaying looks. Shes under the delusion that he loves her. But after her looks fade, hell leave her for a younger woman. Ten years from now, she cant attract another rich man. You should thank him for dumping you, because you and I will have a happy life together.

Do you think so? Da Tian Ting asked.

Yes, Feng Kai Ze said. Shang Duan Hua isnt business savvy. Shangs company will become insolvent under his management within a year. By then hell look for a younger woman to be his mistress to salvage his broken ego.

How do you know thats Shang Duan Huas future? Da Tian Ting asked.

I met a lot of men like him who only values appearance, Feng Kai Ze said. Those men are either in jail for corruption or homeless. Da Ming Sheng doesnt know yet, but she saved you from having a desolate future.

Feng Kai Ze sounded like he was jealous that Da Tian Ting used to spend time and energy on Shang Duan Hua. It cheered her up.

Mr Feng, thank you for cheering me up, Da Tian Ting said.

Lets eat lunch, Feng Kai Ze said. Starting from today you cant skip another meal.

Da Tian Ting didnt care if she didnt know what the right cutlery to use was. She was happy to put food in her mouth. Feng Kai Ze made her feel comfortable to be herself, and he didnt expect her to change. She enjoyed his company more than Shang Duan Huas company.

Mr Feng, judging by your speech mannerisms you sound like a highly educated person, Da Tian Ting said. What do you do for a living?

Da Tian Tings impression of Feng Kai Ze improved a bit, but she didnt trust him yet.

What happened to thinking Im Mr Slimy? Feng Kai Ze asked.

I dont trust you yet but I dont think you would kill me in my sleep, Da Tian Ting said.

In the future Ill always be nice to you, Feng Kai Ze said.

Feng Kai Ze didnt mention that he was capable of being ruthless toward anyone that wasnt Da Tian Ting.

You havent told me what you do for a living yet, Da Tian Ting said.

I dont have a job, Feng Kai Ze said.

Impossible, Da Tian Ting said.

Da Tian Ting didnt think an orphan like Feng Kai Ze could afford to pay for their expensive lunch if he was jobless. He gave off a vibe that he had triad connections.

Right now I dont have a job, Feng Kai Ze said.

Then what did you used to do? Da Tian Ting asked.

The day you met me was the same day I came back from England, Feng Kai Ze said.

Da Tian Ting didnt know orphans these days were well off enough to travel overseas.

Lets finish our lunch, Feng Kai Ze said.

Feng Kai Ze would eventually tell Da Tian Ting about his identity after she accepted him in her life.

Feng Kai Ze and Da Tian Ting were enjoying their lunch together when a man interrupted their lunch.

Miss, arent you embarrassed to dress like this here? the man asked.

Sir, dont you understand the concept of being civilized in a public place? Da Tian Ting asked.

Feng Kai Ze was about to put the man in his place on behalf of Da Tian Ting, but she spoke up for herself.

Hong Shi Chi wanted to provoke the same woman who was framed at the restaurant. He didnt expect she would stand up for herself.

A foolish woman like you who could be framed by a cup of coffee shouldnt show herself in public, Hong Shi Chi said.

You were at the same restaurant as me yesterday? Da Tian Ting asked.

Yes, Hong Shi Chi said. I witnessed everything that happened at the restaurant yesterday. I didnt help you because youre a foolish woman who let yourself be framed.
