"Let's have dinner together."
Simple and direct, just like his personality, which felt just as he appeared to others.
"Why?"
"You saved my grandfather, I ought to express my gratitude."
"No need, your Pei Family has already done so, and you have already treated me to a meal."
Su Chen waved his hand.
"That was their way of showing their feelings, but I haven't expressed my personal gratitude yet."
Pei Jian looked at Su Chen and said earnestly.
Su Chen looked at him for a few seconds, then smiled slightly and nodded:
"Alright!"
When Pei Jian invited Su Chen for a meal, they didn't go anywhere luxurious but chose a fairly decent restaurant instead.
And it seemed he really was just inviting him for a meal, because the two of them spoke very little from start to finish.
When they finished their meal, both stood up at the same time and walked side by side out of the restaurant. As they reached the awning at the entrance, Pei Jian stopped, not stepping down.
