Chapter 109 - 109: 109: Alright, it’s turned into three bowls with chili now
Li Shengxiao, looking at her excited, bright little face and twinkling eyes, felt less uncomfortable even though he generally disliked such crowded and narrow places.
Cradling the little one in his arms, he walked over to the spot Rong Yan had taken and casually placed the child in the seat next to him. “Your mom hurt her left shoulder and can’t take care of you, so you’ll eat next to me.”
Li Duidui pouted his little mouth, clearly reluctant, but did not say anything and obediently sat in the spot he was assigned. His large, lustrous eyes turned towards Rong Yan, filled with curiosity, “Mom, what do they sell here?”
The scent wafting out was so appetizing.
Rong Yan tapped his nose and playfully teased, “You’ll find out soon.”
Li Duidui became even more curious, his large eyes looking left and right.
Li Shengxiao already knew what they sold here, as the menu was posted on the wall.
Hot and sour rice noodles?
“Strange, why hasn’t the proprietress come out yet?” Rong Yan, after dividing the bowls among them, kept turning back to look towards the kitchen.
Soon, a middle-aged woman with her hair neatly tied up and carrying a pen and notebook came out.
Upon seeing the high-valued appearance of the guests at this table, she was momentarily stunned before regaining her composure and asking, “Hello, what would you like to eat?”
Rong Yan held out three fingers and said with a beaming smile, “Three bowls of hot and sour noodles, one with less, one with extra, and one with a regular amount. The one with less shouldn’t have chili pepper, it’s for a child. The one with extra…”
Right, she still didn’t know whether he ate spicy food or not.
It was then that Rong Yan remembered to ask the person across from her, “Li
Shengxiao, do you want chili pepper?”
The proprietress curiously sized up the man who seemed mismatched with the modest style of their eatery.
This man was too handsome! Not to mention his air of dignity—wow, he didn’t seem like an ordinary person. A big shot had visited their little shop, but was he a celebrity or a model?
It was no wonder she thought this way, as Li Shengxiao’s looks were off the charts. Just by looks alone, it would be a waste not to be a celebrity with such high attractiveness! He could eclipse a swath of stars with his looks, who would’ve guessed such a high-valued man was actually the domineering CEO in charge of a hundred-billion enterprise.
Such a story, only idol dramas would dare to imagine. Who would think of that in real life?
The distinguished and handsome man casually picked up some chopsticks and asked her calmly, “Do you want some?”
What? Wasn’t she the one asking him? How did it turn around?
Without a second thought, Rong Yan replied, “Of course I do. It wouldn’t be hot and sour noodles without the chili pepper.”
Li Shengxiao’s gaze swept over her flushed lips, feeling in a good mood, “I’ll have some too.”
He didn’t like eating chili peppers, but it was best if the family had the same tastes in food to avoid future conflicts over what to eat.
Obviously, someone else was thinking the same thing and quickly made it known unwilling to be outdone, “Mom, I also want to add chili peppers!”
Humph, the bad guy was so sneaky, wanting to have the same as mom and leaving him out. Wishful thinking!
“Uh… the chili peppers are very spicy, you’ll have a stomachache if you eat them.”
“I want to add them.”
Rong Yan was suddenly put in a difficult position and said helplessly to the proprietress, “Three orders of hot and sour noodles, two mildly spicy and one medium spicy.”
Li Duidui heard his was mildly spicy and was about to perk up his ears to say he wanted his medium spicy when Rong Yan forcefully suppressed him, “At most mildly spicy, otherwise I won’t add any chili peppers for you!”
Not add any for him?! Li Duidui glanced at the man who was having a mildly spicy bowl like his and silently chose to accept it..
