Peerless Heiress - Chapter 47
“This is fine, but we need to hurry, we have things to do after we finish eating.” I pointed at Dark Night: “Don’t let his cold and silent demeanor fool you, old man, he’s actually in a real hurry. He has to get things done, we’ll leave as soon as we finish eating.”
An Ye's gaze suddenly swept over, his expression somewhat gloomy.
I smiled sweetly at An Ye and kindly comforted him, "Brother, don't worry, the waiter will be there soon. Their chef is so skilled, he'll have it ready in no time. Don't rush, just wait a little longer and you'll be on your way. Since you feel embarrassed and want to make up for your mistake, I'll let you have dinner with me today. After dinner, don't feel guilty anymore."
In such a public place, he wouldn't dare to grab my neck again, would he?
I thought to myself smugly. I lowered my head to pour tea.
The teacup is small, with a small surface of water inside, like a tiny mirror.
In the mirror, the face of the dark night staring at me was completely black. The corner of my mouth twitched violently for a moment, then I suddenly turned my head away.
My lips curled up into a smile.
Chapter 105: Gourmet Food
The waiter was speechless after I said that, and he seemed a little anxious. The other guests in the lobby also noticed our table, and many eyes turned to us.
What is Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles?
"I don't know, has anyone heard of it?"
"I've never heard of it either."
"Hmm, this young master looks familiar."
"That young master doesn't seem like an ordinary person, yet he wants to eat 'bridge noodles' and 'rice noodles.' What are those things?"
"Hey, Wang Wu, doesn't this look like Young Master Lin?!"
"Oh, yes."
"Oh! Really?"
"But who is that? Is it Young Master Moyu?"
"It doesn't look like it."
﹏﹏
I wore a casual smile, but my ears were perked up, intently listening to the discussions in the hall.
Not many people know me, but there are quite a few too. However, none of them know Dark Night.
Dark Night had already seen through my intentions, but he ignored me and simply sat there calmly drinking tea, concealing his aura. He gave people the illusion that he didn't exist, as if what they saw was nothing more than a phantom.
Just then, a group of people walked in through the main hall entrance. Among them was a young man in fine clothes, surrounded by a group of eunuchs who were gesturing and talking.
The boy's gaze swept across the hall, then he suddenly stopped in surprise, shouting as he rushed over. "Oh, Master, what are you doing here? That's wonderful, Master! I was just about to look for you!"
I rubbed my forehead, feeling a headache coming on. That idiot is here again.
"Where's Ruying?" Why couldn't I keep him in check? I'm not a fashion design major, and I don't know much about fashion concepts. This idiot has practically drained my knowledge of everything. If he keeps bothering me, I'll give him some bikini-style swimsuit designs—let's see if he dares to use them!
Jin Ling's eyes almost curved into crescent moons. After quickly dismissing the people behind him with a few words, he climbed up and said, "Master, Miss Ruying is not home."
"Why are you eating here alone, Master? What are you doing sitting in the main hall?"
I rolled my eyes. There were clearly two people there. Even if the darkness was incredibly still, surely he couldn't miss a living person, right? ﹏﹏ Uh, he really disappeared?
I stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the spot where Dark Night had just been sitting; it was now completely empty.
"Master, what's wrong?" Jin Ling asked curiously.
My lips twitched slightly. "It's nothing."
That rascal, he slipped away so quickly. I couldn't even get a chance to probe his abilities. But it's alright, if it were that easy, the game wouldn't be fun. One step at a time, I'm not in a hurry, hehe.
With Anye gone, I naturally no longer needed to sit in the main hall. Besides, I had deliberately attracted attention earlier, and now a fool with a group of eunuchs had arrived. Our seats had become the focus of everyone's attention. People coming and going in the restaurant were all staring at us with great interest. Some thugs who wanted to join the gang were looking at me with naked desire. We were all a little uneasy.
"Master, Jinling knows a place where the food is really delicious, you can't buy it anywhere else. Jinling will take you there, okay?" Jinling leaned closer, lowered his voice, and smiled with narrowed eyes.
Delicious food that you can't buy anywhere else?
My eyes lit up.
My two main goals right now are: first, to play and cause as much trouble as I want; second, to eat all the delicious food in this time and space. So, in just a few days, I've become an expert on everything good to eat in Huaicheng. Even things I don't know about will be brought to me by Ziru and Jin San in a few days. And now this little idiot is saying there's another delicacy that can't be bought anywhere else? Could it be some reclusive master chef?
She nodded hurriedly, her crescent-shaped eyes sparkling.
Two food-eating insects happily wandered through the streets and alleys, finally arriving at a large tree in the suburbs.
Chapter 106: The Master Chef
"Master, we've arrived."
"We're here?" I opened my mouth. I turned around and looked around. A lake of clear water, a tree, and in the distance, the rolling Huai Mountains. Behind me was a grove of trees, and beyond that, the city walls of Huai City. This, this is...?
Even if he's a reclusive master chef, shouldn't he at least have a small thatched hut like those of Zhuge Liang, Tao Qian, or Du Fu, offering shelter from the wind and rain? This is it? You're not going to tell me this master chef is a mermaid, are you?
A few black lines appeared on my face as I suspiciously looked at Jin Ling's overjoyed face.
You little brat, you dare try lying to me?
Jin Ling completely ignored me; he was circling the big tree like a revolving lantern, saying, "Hey, where did he go? I can't see him!"
My lips twitched.
