Chapter 153
Generally speaking, such places are expensive.
This made Penello a little uneasy.
Ye Ting was keenly aware of it, he smiled and said, "Are you doubting the financial resources of an alchemist?"
He took Penello forward, and a young waiter immediately greeted him.
However, what made Ye Ting quite unhappy was that after seeing him, the other party actually asked him, "Little kid, where are your family members?"
Hearing "Puchi", Penello, who was still frowning just now, was immediately amused.
Ye Ting certainly hoped that Penello would be happy, but in this way...
He was a little annoyed, rolled his eyes, and said to the waiter, "There is no family, only me and my girlfriend are here."
When talking about his girlfriend, Ye Ting clearly felt that Penello, who was holding his hand, froze.
However, the waiter didn't start to take him to find a place, but walked up to him, with a hard-working look, and persuaded: "Little boy, this is a high-end restaurant, but it's not something a child like you can afford, you Let's go outside and play."
Penello's laughter grew louder, Ye Ting seemed a little irritable, and he said to the waiter, "You haven't been a waiter before, if I were you, I wouldn't use this tone to entertain guests and ask me to call you all. Is your manager here?"
As soon as the manager was mentioned, the waiter didn't dare to be too busy, and he respectfully said, "May I ask your surnames, sir and miss? What kind of seats do you want to sit in?"
"My surname is Ye," Ye Ting said, and then pointed to Penello, "This young lady's surname is Kriwat, and we want to sit in a quiet corner."
"Okay, Mr. Ye, and Miss Clift," the waiter led the two of them as they walked in the restaurant, "there's a good spot in the corner over there, and it's leaning against the window, so you can see the night view of London, plz follow me."
After sitting down, Ye Ting gave the other party a tip of twenty pounds. On the one hand, he was satisfied with the position he chose, and on the other hand, he was telling him that he could afford it.
Seeing the tip of this denomination, the waiter became even more enthusiastic. He quickly filled them with tea and water, and handed the menu to Ye Ting, enthusiastically introducing them to the latest dishes.
Ye Ting casually ordered one, then looked at Penello opposite. When he saw Penello's hesitant expression, he said to the waiter, "Her share is the same as mine."
Then, he pointed to the red wine on the menu and asked, "And this one, shouldn't it be a problem?"
In fact, according to Ye Ting's age, he couldn't drink red wine at all, but the waiter hesitated when he saw the Romanee-Conti he ordered. This is a luxury that costs tens of thousands of pounds a bottle.
After leaving for a while, he gave an affirmative answer.
The restaurant was dimly lit, and a waiter came up and lit candles for them, and the atmosphere immediately became ambiguous.
The first thing to do was the cold cut Italian beef, which wasn't quite as good as the food at Hogwarts, but it tasted good.
However, Penello doesn't seem to be used to eating, and apparently, she rarely eats in Muggle restaurants.
The second course was French shallot soup, followed by lobster in cheese sauce, grilled steak and more, all served end-to-end.
While eating, a pianist played the piano in the restaurant, not classical music, but the more popular Richard Clayderman piano piece, which made the candlelight dinner more romantic.
All of this made Penello feel a lot better, and she finally began to tell what happened at her house the other day and why she ran away from home.
It turned out that in the n.e.w.t. exam, Penello got excellent in all ten exams.
That's a very good grade, you know, at the Ministry of Magic, even the most difficult Aurors to apply for, only have five outstanding requirements for the n.e.w.t. exam.
In other words, Penello, who has obtained this grade, can basically apply for any department of the Ministry of Magic.
For this matter, Penello's parents are very happy, even as a Muggle father hope that Penello can work in the government sector of the wizarding world.
In their hearts, this is the most senior job, and they even expect Penello to become the head of the department in the future, or even the Minister of Magic.
However, Penello naturally has her own opinion. She wants to be closer to Ye Ting, and wants to take care of his alchemy shop at Ye Ting's invitation.
However, in the eyes of the Kleiwatts, being a store manager is certainly a good job, but where is the glory of being a civil servant at the Ministry of Magic?
So a contradiction arose.
Neither the parents nor the daughter could convince the other. The arguments that lasted for several days exhausted Penello. She was sad that her parents could not understand her, so in the end, she had to choose to run away from home.
"Sorry, it's all because of me," Ye Ting looked into Penello's eyes with some remorse. "If it wasn't for my invitation, you wouldn't have had a falling out with your parents. I'm really sorry."
"No, it's not your fault." Penello took another sip of red wine-although she still looked uncomfortable when she drank it, but now Penello is quite skilled at drinking-, Wei Wei He smiled and said, "This is my own choice. Anyway, your alchemy works are so good, the business will be very good when the shop opens, and my future income will definitely be much higher than that in the Ministry of Magic. Choose to go to the Ministry of Magic."
Ye Ting knows that the real reason is of course not this. Penello himself does not
She is a girl who cares about money very much. Ye Ting has already learned this from his three years of getting along with her. Therefore, he is the real reason for Penello and his parents to fall out.
"Anyway, thank you for choosing me." Ye Ting had another drink with Penello, he took a sip, but Penello drank it, and then she poured herself another drink.
Ye Ting frowned, and Penello drank too much.
Of course he wouldn't believe that the other party drank so much because he liked to drink red wine.
This girl seemed to be addicted to red wine because of what happened a few days ago. She typically used alcohol to relieve her worries, and the more she drank, the darker her expression became.
While drinking, Penello complained to him in a low voice, and the tears started to flow again.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Ting persuaded: "Otherwise, you should drink two less glasses."
"No, I can still drink." Penello looked at the night scene outside the window, drank it again, then turned to Ye Ting, his eyes like autumn water looked at him deeply, his cheeks flushed.
"Now, I'm homeless," she said in a low voice, suddenly looking a little pitiful, "I don't know where else to go except here."
Her words, like a bolt of lightning, hit Ye Ting's heart.
Yes, the girl in front of her left her home for him, and she couldn't do more for him.
"My home is your home!" Ye Ting looked into Penello's eyes seriously, "You can live with me, and my door will always be open for you."
Penello looked at Ye Ting fixedly, and nodded with tears in his eyes after a while.
The final dessert was vanilla chocolate ice cream, however, even that didn't put Penello in the mood.
She drank the last bit of red wine in a depressed mood, and immediately went to the restaurant with Ye Ting's help.
Since Apparating the drunk Penello would make her even more upset, Ye Ting took her to the Leaky Cauldron and returned home through Floo Fan.
Tonight is indeed a long night and a lot is going to happen.
Chapter 0215 lingering
The next morning, Penello woke up from the bed in a daze, but when she stretched out her hand next to her, she found that the person lying beside her had disappeared.
"Ting? Where are you?"
This situation caused the girl to open her eyes immediately and wake up suddenly.
She leaned out and looked around, looking for a familiar figure.
She was worried that what happened last night was just a short dream.
