Chapter 35: Having a Romantic Dinner was a Step Towards Building a Better Relationship

Even though Joel forbade those employees from gossiping about Mo Shian, he was secretly happy that he did not have to face his cold face everyday. It had been torture for him, especially since he had to be next to him in meetings and other occasions.

It was obvious that the problem his boss' relationship had had been resolved. He really needed to thank the heavens. Now he could go home early and even go on the blind dates that his mother had been urging him to go on.

He also could not understand his mother. He was the same age as Mo Shian and they had been friends since middle school. He had always followed him, but was not as a genius as Mo Shian, so even though he managed to study almost to death, he only managed to skip a grade and graduated from high school at the age of 17. He enrolled in business school at the Capital University and got a double degree in finance and management. He graduated right before Mo Shian retired from the army.

The two of them joined Mo Corporation at the same time and he became Mo Shian's capable assistant since then. He had a lot of prestige in the company as not just anyone can be called Mo Shian's friend.

However, when the boss was in a bad mood, no one is spared. Not even his friends.

Joel walked back to his office to continue his work. Even though the environment had relaxed a lot, work quality could not be compromised.

Before he could settle down the phone on his desk rang, he knew that it was the boss calling. He picked it up and sure enough, Mo Shian's voice could be heard on the receiver.

"Book a private room at Chenua restaurant. I will be taking my wife for dinner tonight." Came Mo Shian's instructions.

"Okay boss. I will book it right away." The phone was hung up as soon as he replied.

Sure enough, their relationship must have improved if he can even take his wife for dinner now.

He immediately called the restaurant to make reservations.

Chenua restaurant was one of the most high scale and expensive restaurants in City Y. The chefs were world trained and had a lot of fame in the hotel industry.

The people who could dine there were those from rich and influential families and leaders in politics. The top floor also had romance featured in the private rooms to cater to couples. Activities such as romantic dinners were available if one ordered. The restaurant could almost customize any atmosphere the clients order.

For tonight, Mo Shian would want a romantic candle lit dinner, so Joel made sure to give thorough instructions. After being friends for so long and working side by side everyday for almost three years, he was already very privy to Mo Shian's thoughts and needs and could guess what he wanted from just a few words.

In Mo Shian's office, he was smiling like a fool thinking about how to spend the evening with his wife. She was still on her period and could not be intimate, but it did not mean that they could not enjoy couple time together. Having a romantic dinner was a step towards building a better relationship. So he had to make it special.

He picked up his phone and called Weiwei.

"Hello Shian." Came Weiwei's surprised voice on the phone. She had not expected his call.

"Hi baby, how is your day going?" Mo Shian could not help but smile as he asked this. Hearing Weiwei call his name so smoothly made his day.

"It is going well. I just checked out the studio you had decorated. It is really to my taste. Thank you so much."

"We are husband and wife. What is mine is yours so you don't the to thank me. It makes me feel like an outsider."

"Okay, then I won't thank you. What time are you coming home?"

"I called to ask you out to dinner. I booked a room at Chenua restaurant. Why don't you get ready and I will pick you up at 5.00pm once I leave work."

"Dinner at Chenua restaurant? I heard that you needed to book a room there at least half a month in advance. How did you manage to get a reservation on the same day?"

It was not Xia Weiwei's fault for being surprised. Chenua restaurant was really too popular among the wealthy and reservations are usually done at least two weeks in advance because it is always full. She could not imagine how Mo Shian managed to get a private room on the same day.

"Well, Li pei has shares in the restaurant, so it's not that difficult to get a reservation."

"Oh…perks of having friends with some fame and wealth."

"You could say so." Mo Shian replied as he laughed at her reasoning.

"You don't have to come and pick me up. It will tire you out as you will have to take a detour. Let's meet at the restaurant. I will get ready and leave earlier to avoid traffic."

"Anything that concerns you can never tire me out. It's just a small detour and I can leave work early."

"You don't have to do that. Even though to you it is okay, but my heart will ache seeing you so tired from work and still have to do all this for me. So, let's meet halfway. Just give me the room number and I will meet you at the restaurant."

Mo Shian could feel a warmth spreading from his heart to his limbs. Hearing Weiwei say that her heart will ache for him. No amount of money could rival that feeling. He was so happy that he forgot to reply. It was not until Weiwei called his name that he came back to his senses.

"Alright, I will text you the room number. See at dinner baby and be safe."

"You too. Drive safely."
