Chapter 282 "The Melting Pot" (2)

Liang Chenglei was wearing an elegant suit and was waiting at the window, watching Zhao Wanxuan come in style.

The setting of this restaurant is very exquisite. The screens and furnishings that combine classical and modern styles well separate each table and protect the privacy of the guests.

At the same time, the waiter's position is also particular so that he will not disturb the meal and conversation, nor miss the customer's call, and can provide considerate service at any time.

Zhao Wanxuan's smile was unnatural. She held up the hem of her skirt and sat down, making eye contact with her husband.

Liang Chenglei also had a tense face. To outsiders, the couple did not look like they were celebrating their wedding anniversary, but more like they were in a cold war, either quarreling or getting divorced.

"Ahem...Happy anniversary."

Liang Chenglei's serious expression tried to soften.

Zhao Wanxuan smiled: "Happy anniversary."

Romance and tenderness are really not suitable for this pair of lovers who are full of rationality and realism. Both of them behave very awkwardly, but the tacit understanding between their gestures can reflect their concern for each other.

“There’s also a fat beef stew in sour soup.”

"Why……"

Liang Chenglei looked away from the menu, his eyes questioning.

Zhao Wanxuan was visibly flustered, and said with a smile: "Uh, it's okay, I remember you don't like eating sour food very much..."

Yuan Xiao in the audience felt a thump in his heart.

She forgot her words.

Apart from filming, Zhao Wanxuan didn't come to rehearsals very often, but she still had some strength. She also worked hard to memorize her lines in private to practice her acting skills. The rehearsals during the intermission were also perfect. How could she suddenly...

Liang Chenglei looked at his wife, coughed slightly and said, "But I remember you like to eat."

Zhao Wanxuan was slightly startled, lowered her head, and showed a faint smile of embarrassment, as if she was touched by her husband's unexpected consideration.

The audience didn't notice anything wrong and just thought it was a part of giving out dog food.

Others regard it as a deliberately set contrast to make people more interested in watching.

After all, judging from the current plot, how could Liang Chenglei, who was cold-faced, warm-hearted and affectionate, be involved in such a cruel case? There is obviously a hidden secret.

"Is it possible that the deaf-mute man who was sentenced to death was unjust and Liang Chenglei failed to save him, so he feels very guilty?"

Some viewers who like to speculate on the plot murmured.

"When will the female lawyer mention this matter? I'm so anxious."

The audience next to them focused on another aspect.

Then there were some insignificant performances. After ordering, the two chatted while the waiter served the dishes.

In the judges' box, Zeng Xinhuiqin leaned back and closed her eyes.

Ruan Ziyan saw her reaction and smiled softly without saying much.

They all saw that something went wrong on the spot.

Yuan Xiao was extremely nervous, and on the surface he had to show an expression of "It's okay, it's all in the script, I expected it all." His acting skills soared to two levels.

It's not yet clear why Zhang Yue is causing trouble, and he doesn't know how many people are paying attention to them secretly. At least they can't show their timidity at this time.

Fortunately, after Liang Chenglei made two small saves, Zhao Wanxuan's condition gradually returned.

Her unnatural reaction before was understood to mean that she was worried about the unexpected criminal case involving a disabled person, so she didn't know how to face her husband, which made sense and was not a big problem.

The audience's attention was gradually diverted by the dishes presented.

"Wow, it looks delicious!"

"It's actually true?"

"Too conscientious."

"I'm so hungry..."

Although the interns’ seats couldn’t hear what the audience was talking about specifically, they could always guess the general content.

The members of the previous group, especially those behind the scenes such as the director and props, all looked embarrassed.

When they were performing...it seemed that from beginning to end, only the male and female protagonists had two cups of milk tea in front of them, and at most there were a few empty wine bottles on the social animal table.

During the review, none of the judges and teachers mentioned this. They were still secretly congratulating themselves on getting through.

Now it seems that the teachers are all disappointed and don't even bother to mention it.

Zhao Wanxuan and Liang Chenglei on the stage had no idea that the intentions of their own props team had dealt a critical blow to their colleagues, so they enjoyed their meals very freely.

"Luhuayuan" is a Chinese restaurant, and these dishes are in perfect harmony with the background decoration. At the same time, Liang Chenglei's lines answered the audience's doubts about "why not eat Western food on a date?"

It turns out that Zhao Wanxuan prefers Chinese food, which feels more like home. This setting further reflects Liang Chenglei's thoughtfulness.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to this restaurant.”

Liang Chenglei's tone was filled with emotion.

Zhao Wanxuan wiped the soup from her lips gracefully and asked, "Have you been a regular customer here before?"

Although she has been married to Liang Chenglei for a year, they met on a blind date and were both busy at work. They did not date frequently before marriage, and did not know each other that deeply in terms of past experiences.

"Not really." I don't know if it was due to professionalism, but Liang Chenglei spoke very strictly, "It's just that there was an important dinner here a long time ago, so I have a deep impression."

"I see." Zhao Wanxuan nodded, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to say something, but held back.

Thinking about it, on a day like the anniversary, it would be too embarrassing to talk about such a cruel case. Moreover, it is still an old case. Even if there are doubts, there is no rush.

The two chatted while eating, enjoying the rare relaxation and comfort.

After the dinner plate was removed, Liang Chenglei pondered for a while, and then took out an exquisite box under Zhao Wanxuan's probing gaze.

A very cliché thank you session.

Liang Chenglei gave his wife a new ring, paused, and said, "Actually, I have always resisted coming to this restaurant. It is my psychological shadow."

"I'm sorry, in order to let myself cross this hurdle, I asked you to come back here together on such an important day..."

Liang Chenglei smiled apologetically, "Thank you for accompanying me through this difficult time. With you here, I feel much better and less scared."

Zhao Wanxuan's hand that put on the ring gently covered the back of her husband's hand.

"Old Liang, this is too outrageous."

Her eyes were gentle.

This was the first time Liang Chenglei had shown his vulnerability to her since they got married.

As the saying goes, every man is still a big boy in front of his lover.

Zhao Wanxuan realized this at this time, and her eyes became softer.

"If you want, you can tell me at any time." She comforted Liang Chenglei, "It will feel better if you tell me."

Liang Chenglei smiled softly and said, "Am I becoming your client?"

When lawyers face clients, they will encounter various situations, including but not limited to when they lose control of their emotions and become incoherent. Therefore, verbal comfort can be said to be the basic skill of every lawyer.

Liang Chenglei said a joke that only the two of them understood. Zhao Wanxuan laughed and glanced at him briefly.

"How can other clients get this kind of treatment?" she said angrily.

The couple looked at each other and smiled. They looked more like ordinary people and no longer looked like two cold-faced legal workers.
