Adam's lips curled up and he started to chuckle.
Anthea also curled her lips.
She knew it! Adam was deliberately joking with her!
However, in addition to this matter, he didn't joke with her on any other matter. She was now 100% sure that the boss of this restaurant was Adam.
No wonder when the two of them just entered the restaurant, the manager came to greet them personally, and he even did not ask Adam anything. He simply followed them respectfully, as if he was serving his master, and allowed them to choose the table on their own decision.
Anthea looked around the restaurant again.
The 1 st and 2nd floors seemed to be quiet and empty as if the waiters and waitresses were the only persons occasionally passed by.
She stopped looking around, and her previous impression that business of this restaurant was not good had now disappeared. There was only one possibility. "Uncle, there is no customer in the restaurant. Did you ask your employees to keep it empty?" "That's right."
"Hm?..." Anthea was astounded.
Even if it was Adam's own restaurant, he shouldn't have acted so willfully!
Anthea could no longer remain calm. She asked solemnly, "Comrade Adam Chin, are you sure you're a professional military officer? Are you sure you're not the overbearing president of a company?"
"I'm sure." Adam's lips curled up.
Anthea didn't know what to say.
In the end, Adam selected the ice creams for her, and the manager of the restaurant personally brought the ice creams to them.
Anthea used a spoon to eat the ice creams, still in shock. She ate all the delicious dishes until she was completely full. Then, Adam took her hand and got up from the dining chair.
There was no need for the two of them to pay the bill. When they left the restaurant, the manager, as well as the waiters and waitresses, saw them off respectfully.
When Anthea walked out of the restaurant, she still felt that everything was surreal. She thought that she might be dreaming.
But there were more things to come in her dream...
The corners of Anthea's lips curled up again. She kept glancing at Adam's handsome face from time to time.
She still couldn't figure out how he could be so rich...
"Don't worry. I won't let you commit crimes." As if having seen through her worries, Adam rubbed the top of her head with his palm and explained, "My brother and his friends run a company. I have invested in it. At the end of each year, I will get dividends. I also do some businesses and investments concerning military supplies."
Anthea nodded in a daze.
She suddenly realized that she actually didn't fully understand him.
But it didn't matter. There would be a very long time in the future for her to learn more about him, and what she wanted was only his very person.
Although this was what she thought, it was inevitable that she would still have some secular calculations like money and success. Anthea looked back at the restaurant and blinked her eyes. "As a family member of the boss, do I have the honor of obtaining a VIP card from you, or can I just use your name so that next time I can eat and drink for free in this restaurant?"
"I don't have any VIP card for you." Adam shook his head.
"..." Anthea clenched her hands. "Please... Don't be
so mean!"
However, before she complained further, Adam continued, "I just had told the manager that you're my girl. You can just use your own face next time."
Anthea's eyes suddenly sparkled.
"Wow!" She grabbed Adam's arm enthusiastically and shouted, "I seem to have picked up a big gold coin! Suddenly, I have a feeling that I am going to reach the peak of my life and marry a rich, powerful, and handsome young man!"
Adam didn't know whether to laugh or cry over her words.
Adam's restaurant was located in the downtown area, where the land price was extremely high, and it was next to a river.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
