The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother - Chapter 139

Chapter 139 – Trading the scrumptious food with labor (2)

Zhou Qinhe looked up at her and asked, “You like a private room?”

Yan Shuyu shook her hand, “No, I am just curious. This is pretty good too. We can appreciate the lake view while we eat.”

The hostess next to her smiled and said, “You are right, Miss. This table has the best view.”

“Good then.” Zhou Qinhe explained casually, “You seemed to prefer to dine in the main area better last time, so I didn’t pick the private room this time.”

Yan Shuyu, instead of being touched by how observant the boss was, was a little dumbfounded. She didn’t recall herself expressing any opinion on anything last time. Was her acting really that bad?

As she was dumbfounded, the four of them were seated and the server quickly handed them the menus. “Take a look and see what you’d like to order.”

Yan Shuyu, taking the menu from the boss, suddenly noticed that the server did not refer to her as “Madam”. Was she doing that on purpose?

If the server didn’t refer to her as “Madam”, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to clarify her relationship with the boss. That made her feel very stifled. She didn’t even want to talk anymore. Finally, Zhou Qinhe took over the menu.

But Boss Zhou didn’t look at the menu either. He just asked the server directly, “Anything that’s fresh today?”

Yan Shuyu’s dad used to ask that too in her previous life whenever they dined out. But all the servers were well trained and always replied to them with a professional smile, “All of our ingredients are fresh. You can order anything with no worries.”

The boss, nonetheless, was not a nobody and naturally received a different response. Yan Shuyu saw the server eagerly responded, “Other than the East China Sea Croceine croaker, South Australian rock lobster and Tanner crab that you have ordered yesterday, we have wild Arctic surf clams, silver cod, peony shrimp. Oh, right, cutlassfish from Zhoushan are in season lately and we have some of those as well. These are authentic from Zhoushan, would you like to try some?”

Yan Shuyu was not very well versed and hadn’t heard of most of these. But hearing the server mentioned that these were either wild or imported, it wasn’t hard for her to figure out that they were all horribly expensive. When the boss asked her gently about her opinion, she immediately nodded and said, “Sure… we can try?”

But she also knew that this way of leeching was very unbecoming. Quickly, she added, “But we don’t need all of them. It’s too much.”

That actually made Zhou Qinhe chuckle. He turned to Yan Shuyu after he told the server to add them all to their order, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry. The quantity is not too big.”

If that’s what the boss said, Yan Shuyu immediately stopped worrying. She wasn’t the one paying for it after all.

Zhou Qinhe was thoughtful and attentive, not only did he ask Yan Shuyu for her opinion when he placed the order, he also ordered special drinks and desserts for the two kids. The dishes had pretty layouts and the ice-cream was served with some dry ice. When they were served, Yan Shuyu did not hesitate to pick up a spoon and happily shared them with the kids~

And, just like that, under the comfort of scrumptious food, Yan Shuyu had forgotten all about her slight displeasure of the earlier mislabel.

The seafood feast was very tasty, but it was more troublesome than most other food as they have two kids with them.

Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi were both independent good kids and didn’t need to be fed, even when they were having seafood today. Both of them rolled up their sleeves and slaved over the food. They didn’t make a mess over their clothes.

Yan Shuyu was happy about that at the beginning. Her son was so capable that she could focus on eating herself.

After she had finished up for a while and the kiddo next to her was still eating at his steady pace, she started to get stir crazy. She took a look at her watch. Noticing that they had already been there for an hour already, she asked her instant son, “Are you almost done?”

Zhang Yuanjia lifted up his head and told her, “No.”

Yan Shuyu asked incredulously, “Not at all?”
