Chapter 116 was definitely intentional! TAT
Zhihe Restaurant is a well-known restaurant in Huacheng. It is usually packed and it is difficult to get a seat. You have to make a reservation in advance if you want to have a meal here.
The Yan family's background is naturally different from that of ordinary people; a simple phone call can easily create an opening for them.
Yan Bei'an often ate here with his friends, but he never asked for a fixed seat. So when he arrived at Zhihe Restaurant and mentioned Yan Zhixu's reservation, the waiter led him to the same table where he had dined with Liang Liangwei the night before...
Suddenly I broke out in a cold sweat.
Was his uncle giving him a silent warning?
He could almost see his uncle's cold, warning expression—[Everything you and Weiwei do is under my control!]
Oh my god, I was so scared!
"Excuse me, sir, would you like to order something first?"
Yan Beian was pulled back to his senses by the waiter's voice. He sat down, tugged at his collar, and said, "Give me a glass of ice water..." to calm his flustered heart.
"Ok."
The iced water was brought over, and he had just taken a sip when he saw Yan Zhixu coming from the main entrance. He quickly put down his cup, stood up, and greeted her.
"Uncle."
Yan Zhixu, dressed in a bespoke suit, with a cool and aloof expression, strolled over with a cashmere coat draped over his arm.
His handsome appearance attracted many stares, but he ignored them, walked straight over, gave a curt reply, hung his coat on the back of the chair, and sat down.
"Uncle, did you come from the company?" Yan Bei'an beckoned to the waiter.
Yan Zhixu slowly unbuttoned his suit jacket: "Hmm."
Yan Beian took the menu and handed it to Yan Zhixu: "Uncle, please order first."
Yan Zhixu didn't take it, but glanced at the waiter: "I'll dictate it, you just need to write it down."
This customer must have dined at this restaurant many times to order without even looking at the menu. The waiter was used to it and got ready with the ordering tablet.
"Okay, sir."
Seeing this, Yan Beian put the menu away and opened it to see what he wanted to add later.
He had only turned a few pages when he couldn't bear to look anymore. He stared blankly at Yan Zhixu across from him, his forehead covered in cold sweat and his back sticky with a chill.
The food my uncle ordered... was exactly the same as what he and Liang Liangwei ordered last night!
Finally, he ordered himself a bowl of snow frog porridge: "Give me a bowl of snow frog porridge."
Waiter: "Okay."
Yan Bei'an: "..."
If before this it was just his wild guess, now he can be certain.
My uncle really did it on purpose! TAT
Yan Zhixu looked up at Yan Bei'an: "Would you like anything else?"
Yan Bei'an closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter, chuckling dryly, "No need, the food my uncle ordered is enough for two people."
Yan Zhixu gave him a deep look, and after the waiter left, she asked casually, "Do you know why I ordered these dishes?"
Yan Bei'an forced a smile and said, "I know..."
Yan Zhixu: "Oh?"
Yan Bei'an obediently replied, "Last night, Wei and I... I mean, Liang Liangwei and I also ate here, at the same table, with the same meal."
Yan Zhixu placed her hand on the table and gently tapped the surface, making a soft "tap-tap" sound.
Yan Bei'an swallowed hard and asked, "Uncle, did she tell you that I invited her to dinner here?"
Yan Zhixu: "No, I was hosting a banquet here last night and saw it from afar."
It turned out to be the case.
Yan Bei'an paused for a moment, then couldn't help but speak again: "Uncle, her and I..."
Yan Zhixu: "You still haven't answered my question. Do you know why I ordered these dishes?"
Yan Bei'an was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Didn't you just ask this question already...?"
Okay, it seems he didn't answer that question.
Yan Zhixu looked at him and said calmly, "She should have made things clear to you the day before yesterday. She's with me now, she's my girlfriend, and you two have broken up. So, don't ask her out to dinner alone unless it's necessary, it could easily cause misunderstandings."
Yan Bei'an opened his mouth: "..."
Looking at his uncle's cold and unyielding face, he felt quite discouraged.
He really couldn't compare to his uncle.
He simply doesn't possess that kind of composed and unhurried demeanor, nor can he learn it.
"I understand, Uncle. I will avoid suspicion in the future."
The food was served quickly in the restaurant; soon two servings of food were brought over, along with the snow frog porridge that Yan Zhixu had ordered.
He held the cup, stirred it gently, and said calmly, "It didn't mean anything else. It's just that I ran into your mother with her in the mall that day. You should know that, which caused an unnecessary misunderstanding."
Yan Bei'an nodded: "I know."
Yan Zhixu took a bite; it was a little sweet. He frowned, put down his bowl, and looked up at the waiter, saying, "Could you please give me a glass of warm water?"
"Ok."
Yan Zhixu continued, "From now on, it will be common for Weiwei and me to be seen together in public. I don't want this kind of misunderstanding to happen every time. I could tolerate what happened that day because of you and her..."
He looked at Yan Bei'an meaningfully.
“I can give you time to convince your mother about breaking up with Vivi as soon as possible, but my patience is limited and I can’t wait indefinitely.”
Yan Bei'an pursed his lips and nodded: "I know."
The waiter brought over some warm water. Yan Zhixu accepted it, thanked him, poured some into the porridge, stirred it, and took a bite.
The taste still felt a bit strange, so he took another bite, frowned, put it down, and muttered, "Why does she like to eat this?"
Yan Beian glanced at it and sweated profusely: "...Uncle, this is for girls. It's said to be good for beauty and breast enhancement."
Yan Zhixu thought he had misheard: "Feng what?"
Yan Bei'an pointed to the bowl of porridge: "It contains papaya and snow frog. Girls who eat it will have breast enhancement."
Yan Zhixu's expression froze for a moment, which was quite rare, and then a look of great embarrassment appeared on his face. He quickly pushed the bowl of porridge away.
Just then, the waiter came to serve more food. He coughed lightly twice and looked away to hide his embarrassment.
Yan Bei'an bit his lower lip to suppress a laugh.
It was a once-in-a-century sight to see his uncle get the short end of the stick; if he weren't too scared, he would have loved to throw his head back and laugh out loud three times.
After the waiter delivered the last meal, he said, "The meal is served. Gentlemen, please enjoy your meal."
Yan Beian suppressed a laugh and replied, "Thank you."
Yan Zhixu couldn't help but glance again at the bowl of porridge that he was destined to abandon, and the image of Liang Liangwei's curvaceous figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
He had embraced her several times and even fantasized about her in his dreams, so he had some understanding of women's figures.
I couldn't help but think to myself, "With a figure like hers, does she really need breast augmentation?"
His throat felt a little itchy, and he instinctively reached for a cigarette, but after looking around, he changed his mind.
To ease his uncle's embarrassment, Yan Bei'an served him a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup: "Uncle, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at this restaurant is absolutely delicious. Did you order it for your banquet last night?"
Yan Zhixu: "No."
Yan Bei'an: "Then you must try it today. Of all the restaurants I've tried, this one is the best."
Yan Zhixu responded faintly and began to eat with a spoon.
He naturally approved of the food at his friend's restaurant; otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged to host such important guests there last night.
After eating for a while, he looked up again and asked, "Why did you invite her here last night? Didn't we already agree to break up? What else is there to say?"
