Li Shengxiao took the menu she handed over and passed it directly to the waiter, his voice low and enchanting, âThat will be all, serve us please.â
Although the waiter was male, he couldnât help but give him a few extra glances before asking quietly, âOkay, what kind of broth would you like?â
The distinguished man glanced at Rong Yan, clearly leaving the decision up to her.
The waiter also looked at her, but since Rong Yan was wearing a duckbill cap, he didnât recognize her as a celebrity, âMadam, we have clear oil and olive oil, both spicy and mild options, as well as split pots. Which would you prefer?â
âA split pot,â Rong Yan pondered, propping her chin, whether to choose the clear oil or the pricier olive oil.
The man sitting next to her didnât hesitate to tell the waiter, âA spicy pot.â
âAlright.â
As the waiter was about to jot it down on the menu, Rong Yan quickly interjected, âWeâll have the split pot, the olive oil split pot, thank you!â
If she was eating alone, she definitely would have chosen the more affordable clear oil spicy pot.
Olive oil was twice as expensive as clear oil, with just the broth costing over a hundred, but it couldnât be helped, since both the little one and the big one were picky eaters.
The reason she didnât choose the spicy pot was also very important: a certain someone couldnât eat spicy foods at all!
Seeing how busy he was this afternoon, he probably just grabbed something quick for lunch, or even skipped it, and suddenly eating something too stimulating for the stomach, she was worried it might cause him stomach pains in the middle of the night.
Cui Jiangjing had said that Li Shengxiaoâs stomach problems were quite serious due to his long-term intense work habits and forgetting meals!
âBesides that, letâs have a fresh squeezed juice and some snacks,â she quickly finished ordering and told the waiter, âThatâs all.â
âSo thatâs an olive oil split pot, fresh squeezed juice and snacks plus the other dishes, right?
âYeah, thatâs right.â
After confirming what she had ordered, the waiter took the note and went to make the preparations.
Rong Yan waited for the waiter to leave before saying with a smile, âToday is a celebration, my treat, feel free to enjoy~â
âSomething happy happen today?â Li Shengxiao noticed her beaming smile, which improved his mood as well, as he poured her a glass of water and asked.
âItâs not any particular big deal,â she knew her small achievement was not a big deal, but still wanted to share her joy with him, âMy new song has been at the top of the charts these past two days, Estelle said the new song is doing well, so I wanted to treat you and Little Baby to a meal.â
Li Shengxiao didnât quite understand what being top of the charts meant, but her happiness was enough for him! His hawk-like eyes locked on her, he said with utmost sincerity, âYou are always the best one!â
âPfft!â
Rong Yan just wanted to share her joy with him and hadnât expected him to say so earnestly that she was the best.
For some reason, her ears felt warm, and she felt a greater sense of achievement than seeing her new song hit number one on the charts.
Fortunately, at that moment, the waiter arrived with the food.
She had ordered a whole table full of dishes, which promptly filled the table up.
The steaming split pot also arrived, with its scent wafting through the air, immediately shifting her attention to the food served, as she invited the big and the small, âTry their snacks first, I saw online that their snacks are quite unique and tasty, wanna try?â
Li Shengxiao saw her focus shift to the hot pot and carefully started cooking the items, arranging the condiments near her sideâ¦
