The restaurant looked quite ordinary from the outside, but it wasn't ordinary at all inside. After entering it, we saw a garden filled with fruits and vegetables, which were all carefully grown and looked very nice. The courtyard was quite big. We had to walk a long way before we enter inside.
The courtyard was very quiet. There were not many people here. Probably, besides the deliciousness and high price of the dishes, the lack of notoriety is one of the reasons for its quietness.
Seeing me and Vincent coming from a distance, the restaurant owner quickly greeted us with a smile. "Mr. Johnson, why not tell me in advance so I can get prepared!"
Vincent smiled and said, "No worries. It's just an interim decision. It's my girlfriend!"
Hearing this, the owner immediately looked at me and praised, "Your girlfriend is really beautiful. This is the first time you have brought a girlfriend to dinner, Mr. Johnson. You must love each other so much!"
Vincent naturally felt at ease at his words. He couldn't help hugging me and proudly saying, "Of course it took me a long time to make Jasmine my girlfriend!"
I was a little embarrassed by his shameless words. I then bowed my head and said nothing. The owner laughed with Vincent and then went into the kitchen. I followed Vincent down the inner hall and entered a very elegant private room.
The decoration of the private room was very classical. A waiter had already brought us fragrant tea. Vincent gentlemanly poured me tea and asked casually, "Have you brought your ID card?"
I looked up at him puzzledly and asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Vincent smiled with satisfaction. He said, "Okay then. After lunch, I'll take you to Mr. Murphy. The villa will be under your name!"
My mind went blank for a moment as I didn't understand what he meant. Then I asked, "You... what do you mean?"
Vincent rolled his eyes and said somewhat angrily, "Are you stupid? I will buy the villa for you!"
"I don't want it!" I angrily placed the teacup on the table and angrily said, "Vincent, are you insane? That mansion is worth at least twenty million. Why you want to buy it for me?"
Vincent was so angry at my "meekness" that he was almost about to hit me. He stared at me for a minute until I started to panic, then he ask: "Jasmine, do you hate my gift that much?"
"No, it's just that this gift is too expensive. I can not afford it!" I told him sternly, with a cold expression, "Vincent, I know your family is rich, but you shouldn't spend money like this. I, Jasmine, I'm really not worthy of you doing this. Twenty million, how long can you let me go? Is five or ten years enough? I do not have that much energy to waste on you!"
"D*mn it, why you're not listening to me?" Vincent shook his head in exasperation and sighed, feeling powerless in the face of my stubbornness. "What the hell are you thinking in your head? I'm buying this just want you to have a better, more comfortable, and safer life with me. How can this be a physical exchange?"
"That's not what I mean, Vincent. I..."
