My CEO Husband Has Some Issues - Chapter 2241 - 2243: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing

The waitress led them through the Japanese-style corridor to a private room at the very end, pushed open the screen, and said, “Here we are.”

“Hmm.”

Gu Linxi went in first, taking the spot she usually liked to sit, and waved him over, “Come in and sit down, feel free to order.”

“Star, give me the menu.”

“Okay.”

The waitress quickly handed her a menu, she flipped through it, ordered a few dishes, and then passed the menu to Cui Jiangjing, “Take a look and see if there’s anything you want to eat, feel free to order anything.”

Cui Jiangjing took the menu with mixed emotions, flipping through it casually. He’d been to this restaurant once, dining with a business partner who kept praising the chef’s skills and how difficult it was to reserve a spot at this private dining establishment. He didn’t expect to come again, and this time it was thanks to her.

“Add this one.”

He randomly pointed at a dish.

The waitress craned her neck to see, quickly wrote it down, “Crispy Treasure Duck? Okay, it’s added.”

After writing, she lifted her head and affectionately said to Gu Linxi, “Miss Gu, the chef made medicinal pigeon soup today, I’ll bring you a serving later.”

Cui Jiangjing had heard that the medicinal pigeon soup at this private restaurant was very famous; trying to have it seemed even harder than reserving a table. He wondered what Gu Linxi’s relationship with the chef was, as the waitress’s attitude toward her was more than just treating a familiar guest.

Once the person left, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you often come here to eat?”

Gu Linxi handed him the chopsticks and bowl, answered indifferently, “Not often. If I have time, I’ll come for a meal; if not, then I don’t.”

Cui Jiangjing couldn’t help but say, “Why does the waitress seem so familiar with you?”

Gu Linxi finally looked at him, pondering, “Are you talking about Star?”

That waitress seemed to be called by that name.

“Yeah. Are you very familiar with her?”

Gu Linxi stared at him with suspicion and wariness, warning him, “Why are you asking about her, are you interested in her?”

“…” I’m interested in you!

Cui Jiangjing was extremely annoyed, almost getting a rush of blood to the head again, but thankfully took a few deep breaths, reminding himself that he chose this girlfriend, which helped suppress the anger hovering above. Still, his expression wasn’t good, he shot her a sour look, and with a cold laugh, said, “I have standards! Plus, I have a girlfriend, I’m not that sleazy!”

Gu Linxi poured herself a cup of tea, glanced at the angry man indifferently, “Didn’t you also fall for that popular actress when you were dating your model girlfriend? Even got caught in photos by paparazzi. And soon after, rumors about you and a film academy student hit trending topics… So, when those two were snapped, had you broken up with the model?”

It couldn’t be. During media interviews back then, the model hinted with a sad face that she’d been cheated on, and all three women considered themselves to be his girlfriend.

She spoke casually, seemingly without intent, but the listener felt their ears burning and face flushing with nowhere to hide, only able to cough to cover the awkwardness, “…That situation was different.”

Gu Linxi was purely curious, without a hint of malice, “How was it different?” Wasn’t it all about flirting while having a girlfriend?
