A thought flashed through Li Yang's mind: "Could it be that she's also practicing martial arts?"
Chapter 566: Famous Dishes
"Sigh, you're always so smart. Yes, she's practicing Wing Chun with that Miss Hong!" Cao Xin said with a hint of envy.
"Ah... I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of results she'll achieve. But practicing martial arts is very hard, it must be tiring for her!" Li Yang said with some concern.
"It's because she doesn't want to be a burden to you!" Cao Xin suddenly became determined to learn martial arts as well. How could she be inferior to a little girl? She couldn't become a burden to Li Yang. However, it seemed that she needed to wear loose clothing for the martial arts movements, which meant she would need a full-cup bra with exceptionally strong straps, otherwise... Cao Xin's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Sister Xin, you've all been so good to me. I really don't know how to repay you!" Li Yang said emotionally, hugging Cao Xin.
Cao Xin's face flushed crimson, becoming incredibly radiant. Although she was extremely shy and uncomfortable, she didn't struggle. Holding Li Yang's face in her hands, she said affectionately, "You've done so much more for us, even giving us life. So, what we've done for you is nothing!"
"Sister Xin." Li Yang lowered his head and kissed her rosy lips. Cao Xin responded shyly, but it was always Li Yang who took the initiative, and she passively responded.
"Tsk tsk tsk... What a passionate affair! Doing it in public, how unrestrained!" a sweet female voice teased from the side.
Cao Xin's face turned bright red. She suddenly pushed Li Yang away and rushed over to chase after him.
"You stupid sweetie, what nonsense are you talking about!" Cao Xin chased after her, screaming.
Li Yang watched them playfully bickering with great interest. Fortunately, it was nighttime, and even with streetlights, the lighting wasn't very good, so he didn't see many passersby. However, Li Yang's eyes were special; he could still see very clearly even in the dim light.
When I saw Song Tian'er lewdly use her Dragon Claw Hand to grope my chest, my breath hitched, and I felt a surge of lust.
"Stop chasing and fighting in the street! It's a bad influence. If it causes a traffic accident or something, it will be a huge disaster!" Li Yang shouted as he chased after them.
"Nonsense!" Song Tian'er pouted, but stopped talking, after all, she was very confident in her charm.
"Going to a hotel so early?" Cao Xin glanced at Li Yang, her face slightly flushed.
"Huh?" Li Yang stared in surprise.
Song Tian'er exclaimed, "Cao Xin, when did you become so lecherous? It's only this late and you're already asking to book a room. This is the first time I've ever met you..."
Cao Xin blushed crimson, at a loss for words, unable to refute him. She couldn't help but glare at Li Yang resentfully. It was all his fault. If he hadn't let his thoughts wander and led her astray, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
"You damned sweetie, I'll tear your mouth apart..." Cao Xin, enraged, pounced on Song Tian'er, and the two women started fighting again. It was truly a beautiful and breathtaking scene, more sensual and alluring than "Bo Dou Men," but not vulgar or revealing.
"I'm so hungry..." Song Tian'er suddenly said pitifully.
"You haven't eaten yet?" Cao Xin asked, frowning.
"Yeah, being a white-collar worker is more tiring than being an ox, and being a high-level white-collar worker is even more tiring than being a pig or a dog! I can't take it anymore, I quit, it's better to go out and make a living!" Song Tian'er complained, clutching her stomach.
"That's true. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner, I haven't eaten enough either!" Li Yang nodded.
"Hmph, you should be the one treating us to dinner!" Song Tian'er said matter-of-factly.
Cao Xin smiled and nodded. She was already familiar with Li Yang's appetite. It was a well-known fact that the higher one's martial arts skill, the more one could eat. After all, the energy consumed was too great, so the energy required was also greater. Energy couldn't be generated on its own. The idea of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth through the body was, well, that's fantasy cultivation, not real life. One had to absorb energy through eating. It's just that the higher one's martial arts skill and realm, the more profound and thorough one's regulation of bodily functions and the absorption, transformation, and release of energy became.
This is why people with superb martial arts skills can appear, and why the human body can undergo many incredible changes.
"I'll give you a suggestion. Tell me, do you want to eat Fengxiang donkey meat, Pinghu pickled eggs, Kaifeng dried tofu, or Dong'an chicken?" Li Yang said with a smile.
"Can I eat it all?" Song Tian'er swallowed hard. Her eyes were sparkling; she seemed genuinely hungry.
"This seems to be a famous dish from all over the country, right?" Cao Xin, with her extensive knowledge, immediately pointed out the key point. Indeed, Fengxiang donkey meat is a famous dish from Xi'an, Shaanxi, known for its nourishing and nutritious qualities. Pinghu pickled eggs are a specialty of Pinghu, Zhejiang; unlike other eggs with hard shells, these have soft skins. Kaifeng dried tofu is naturally a famous dish from Kaifeng, Henan. And Dong'an chicken is a renowned Hunan dish. Trying to eat them all at once and enjoy them all at one table is indeed quite a challenge.
"So what if it's from all over the country? As long as Tian'er wants to eat it, I'll get you dragon meat from the sky!" Li Yang said indulgently.
"You're making it sound like I'm younger than you. I'm your older sister," Song Tian'er pouted, but she felt incredibly sweet inside.
"So what? We'll see who begs for mercy once we're in bed!" Li Yang said with a wicked grin.
"You beast! Humph, I want to eat it all, let's see if you keep your word!" Song Tian'er said, puffing out her cheeks.
"I don't think I'm full either!" Cao Xin added with a smile. She had only had a little soup, but that was to lose weight and maintain her figure; she was still hungry.
"Hahaha... No problem, no problem..." After Li Yang finished laughing, he took out his phone and dialed Pei Shiqun's number, explaining his request to her. She agreed immediately without hesitation.
As a mid-level manager at Xiao Jiangnan, Li Yang would certainly handle such matters efficiently. Besides, Jiang Linbin, as the young master of Xiao Jiangnan, was someone he knew and fawned over. This kind of thing would be impossible for ordinary people, but Li Yang accomplished it with just one phone call.
"Ladies, I am honored to have you here. Please get in the car!" Li Yang bowed and invited them in. A shiny black Audi Q7 appeared in front of them.
Cao Xin and Song Tian'er exchanged a glance, giggled, and climbed into the car without hesitation, sitting in the back seat. Li Yang really wanted to squeeze in between them and have a great time, but Song Tian'er slammed the car door shut before he could follow.
If Li Yang hadn't dodged quickly, his nose would have been pinched off.
The beautiful woman in the car giggled and swayed, a sight to behold.
Li Yang rubbed his nose, chuckled, and nonchalantly got into the passenger seat. He instructed them to go to a branch of a certain Xiao Jiangnan restaurant. This was Pei Shiqun's reply, saying she was preparing these famous dishes for Li Yang there.
Chapter 567: A Smile Hides a Dagger!
The car moved as smoothly as flowing water to the entrance of the Little Jiangnan Hotel in the Huangtu District. Its opulent decor and prime location clearly demonstrated Little Jiangnan's strength; this national hotel chain giant was indeed no joke.
The parking lot was spacious and filled with various mid-range and high-end cars, while low-end sedans were relatively rare. It was peak dining time, and Xiao Jiangnan was bustling with business.
Because of its authentic food, good service, and reasonable prices, the Xiao Jiangnan branch in Huangtu District, though newly opened, quickly attracted a large number of diners thanks to its reputation and strength.
When Li Yang and his group arrived, there was some commotion at the entrance, and the car couldn't get in temporarily. They saw an Audi parked outside the parking lot.
The driver was arguing with the parking attendant, while in the distance, Pei Shiqun, as beautiful as a blooming peony, stood at the hotel entrance, craning her neck as if waiting for someone.
Seeing Li Yang peek out and wave at her, Pei Shiqun's eyes lit up. She gracefully walked down to greet him. Many of the animals at the gate stared in disbelief, practically drooling.
She frowned and glanced at the argument over the parking spot. The waiter immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This was his assigned area, but if a problem arose, it was his responsibility.
