The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 1343

Chapter 1343: Was She a Kept Woman?

They went to the food street located in the central district of Ye City. This area was always extremely crowded at night.

“Shall we go for a buffet meal?” he asked and his eyes softened as he looked at her tenderly.

He Xiyan nodded at him with a smile. It didn’t matter what they ate since all she wanted was to spend time with him.

They went to a seafood buffet restaurant on the second floor of this food street.

The buffet cost 1,288 dollars per person and this was an extravagant luxury to He Xiyan who had never eaten at such an expensive restaurant.

Mo Yixuan booked a private room and the moment he stepped into the restaurant, the waitresses immediately looked at him eagerly.

“Hello, Mr. Mo. Would you like me to bring you the food served on the buffet line?” the waitress asked with a smile.

“Thanks, we’ll call for you after we’ve selected our food,” he said.

This was He Xiyan’s first visit to such a luxurious restaurant and she immediately spotted all kinds of delicacies that she would hardly have the chance to taste in her daily life.

The main draw of this buffet line was the seafood but there were also all kinds of expensive dishes and snacks served at the restaurant.

He Xiyan looked at the food displayed on the computerized screen. There were more than 200 kinds of food that they could select via the computerized screen and the waitress would serve the food directly to them. Alternatively, they could head outside to the buffet line to get their food.

“Yan Yan, what would you like to eat?” Mo Yixuan asked as he ordered his usual dishes.

He Xiyan looked at the huge variety of food on the screen. She had never even tried many dishes that were on the menu and not even seen some of those dishes, so she couldn’t decide what she wanted to order. She wondered if it would be too much if she said that she wanted to have some congee. She had to eat something expensive in order to make the 1,288 dollars per person worth it.

“I’d like that…” she said as she pointed at the picture of a king crab on the screen.

She figured that it was probably very expensive because she remembered it going for 200 dollars per 500 grams in the supermarket.

Mo Yixuan’s lips curved into an elegant smile.

“Do you like eating king crabs?” he asked with a small chuckle. It was rare for girls to like crabs.

She didn’t know how to respond because she had never eaten such expensive dishes. She would never be able to afford such an extravagant meal.

“I…like….it….yes!” she stammered out.

Soon, the waitress came with their food. They ordered steamed king crabs, abalone, sea cucumber, salmon, oysters, jade spirals, mantis shrimps, lobsters…and so on. They ordered more than ten kinds of seafood and each type of seafood was placed on a small plate, so there wasn’t an excessive amount of food. They also ordered two portions of foie gras, two bowls of seafood congee, and two glasses of red wine.

These plates immediately filled the entire table.

He Xiyan, who was used to eating home-cooked food, didn’t know where to begin.

These dishes were unlike the stir-fried or braised dishes she was used to eating at home. There were some dishes that were to be dipped into the sauce and eaten raw while others looked like they were barbecued, and some were fried. In summary, they looked very foreign to her.

She took a mantis shrimp. This was the first time she was eating this dish and she usually ate the more commonly seen river shrimps and white shrimps.

“Yixuan, do you like eating seafood?” she asked because he had ordered a lot of seafood.

Mo Yixuan smiled and said, “Once in a while. I hardly eat seafood and would normally eat local delicacies.”

It was true that he usually ate local traditional dishes but he wanted to bring her somewhere special this time.

She ate the sea cucumber and abalone.

My god, these luxurious seafood dishes didn’t taste as nice as she had expected and she felt as though there was a fishy taste in her mouth.

It wasn’t the fault of the chef; just that these dishes didn’t suit her palette.

However, she insisted on finishing her food because it would be such a waste of money if she only stuck to eating snacks and fruits.
