Had she not came with Huo Sishen today but came to this restaurant on her own dime today…
Would she has received the same level of service?

  Would she has experienced the nobility of being waited on by the entire team of restaurant staff with just one wave of her hand?

  She felt that it had gotten to her head!

  Gu Shishi felt there was a lightning strike inside her head!

  Her ego… had expanded so!

  Look at what was going through her mind…
She had definitely let it got to her head. She actually thought she could relate to what was going through Song Huizong’s head when he drew his birds!

  To put it simply, it was “Who dared to say that the bird he drew didn’t look like a bird? And who dared to say that it was ugly? Was it not the most vigorous and handsome bird in the world?!”
It was the bird that was drawn by a king!

  The domineering aura. All of his nobility under his paintbrush. Confident, unbridled, his brush strokes were smooth, and his color combination elegant!

  “Ah, I see!”
Gu Shishi nodded repeatedly as she ate with her fork.

  Hearing her delicate voice, Huo Sishen’s brows unfurrowed.

  He looked squarely at the girl who was very focused on her food.

  Not bad.

  She was more obediently than his little sister was.

  She made a good student.

  She looked very docile during her lesson. In fact, almost somewhat… sacred?

  Huo Sishen’s body was much less tense than it was before. It had been touched by the warm light inside of the restaurant making him seemed much softer.

  Then, looking at the plate in front of her and the food that she had barely touched, he frowned again.

  Was he being too strict with her?

  It was her first time visiting this restaurant. She should be enjoying her food.

  Huo ChuChu had already tried all the delicacies in a few different countries when she was Gu Shishi’s age.

  But for Gu Shishi… this was her very first time.

  Huo Sishen’s heart soften again and he even felt a tingling sense of pain.

  He took her plate over and sliced the duck up into bite size pieces for her.

  “Eat.”
Gu Shishi spaced out for a little bit and hadn’t even had the chance to say anything when her plate was taken away from her.

  She heard the notification from the system in a matter of seconds!

  [Beep! Candle light dinner assignment complete!]

  [Calculating reward!]

  [Number of times the man felt his heart had skipped a beat: 5.]

  [Number of times he was felt jealousy: 3.]

  [Number of times he had offered you his service: 12.]

  [Assignment completed at 200%!]

  [Reward: Natural blush from wine (include passive effect) halo fragment *1; Doting of the male lead increased by 10%!]

  Gu Shishi was a little stunned.

  Heart skipped a beat? Jealousy? When did all those happen?!

  But she took a quick look at the system and smiled with her mouth cracked open.

  She was only 6% away from LV4 Fondness from the Male Lead!!

  She was about to level up soon!

  And she was awarded with a halo fragment. The “include passive effect” part in the parenthesis had been highlighted.

  Looked like that was her extra reward?

  With the exception of the rose scent, none of the other halos that she had earned came with passive effects.

  With the rose scent, it was the ability to put someone to sleep. That was big. She had gotten herself out of a few impossible situations with that skill.

  As Gu Shishi was thinking about this and that, she almost busted out laughing.

  Huo Sishen watched the girl sitting across from him enjoying her foie gras and duck with a foolish smile on her. Her eyes were curved. Did the food really make her that happy?

  Immediately, his heart hurt like it had been pricked by a needle.

  How much pain had she been through?

  Comparing her with how Huo ChuChu was raised, Huo Sishen’s lips tightened.

  “Have some more.

  “If this isn’t enough, we will have the chef make them at home tomorrow.”
Gu Shishi nodded.

  Half way through her nodding, she paused.

  Huh?

  She noticed that the way the boss was looking at her was exuding an odd sense of… “fatherly love”?
