Hi, My Sweet Lil Moe Wife!

Chapter 51

The Flimsy Friendship

“What should we eat? French cuisine? Thai cuisine? Sichuan cuisine? Or Cantonese cuisine?”

When food was mentioned, the baby kitten’s eyes sparkled a little more and gave an even more appealing shine.

Li Junyu’s eyes darkened and he stared at her. He blurted out four words, “What would you like?”

“I don’t mind anything, so long as it’s not too bland.”

Ruan Mengmeng favored spicy and strong-flavored food.

As she thought of Li Junyu’s pretentious tendencies, he would surely bring her to high-class restaurants that were even more luxurious than the ones he usually indulged in. When she thought about it, the gluttony inside of her intensified.

Little did she know…

After an hour, when Ruan Mengmeng saw the waiter serving the final dish of the night which was a small pot of stewed dish, she was all choked up and at a loss for words.

The first few dishes devastated her and she tried her best to hold herself back from bursting into tears.

She could not help but ask, “What about this, what is it?”

The waiter carefully placed the stewed dish in front of her. The moment when the lid was lifted, he politely introduced the dish. “This is the town shop treasure of our restaurant, Gold Fleck Spinach Jade Little Stew Pot.”

‘Gold Fleck Spinach Jade Little Stew Pot?!’

When Ruan Mengmeng heard the dish name, she knew something was amiss.

She looked into the stew pot and there it was. Amidst the clear stock, an entire mini cabbage laid in it.

A few layers of finely sliced turkey ham floated displayed the excellent knife work.

Alas, that was the Gold Fleck Spinach Jade Little Stew Pot!!!

The moment when the waiter was done serving the dishes and left the private dining room, Ruan Mengmeng’s crabby face stared at the indifferent man.

“I said I didn’t want any bland food, so why did you bring me to this Huaiyang restaurant? I’m fine with eating Huaiyang cuisine, but at least order some red braised pork belly, or braised pork ball in brown sauce. What are all these dishes that you ordered? Are they even made for human consumption?”

They had an entire table full of bland soupy vegetable dishes that were deemed the so-called town shop treasure of the restaurant.

If she had to pick, she would much rather eat boiled cabbage than to spend a fortune on those dishes!

The level of anticipation she had for this meal was exactly the amount of disappointment that she felt.

When Li Junyu picked her up from school out of the blue and brought her out for a random meal, she thought it was going to be something special.

Hehe, it turned out that the whole plan was to purposely bring her here and not to let her have any meat!

Li Junyu pretended he did not hear Ruan Mengmeng’s question and he continued to eat at a slow pace. When he was done, he picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth and raised his gaze.

His dark gaze directed at her, full of piercing coldness.

“You don’t like it?”

The man’s deep magnetic voice sounded in the spacious private dining room.

“Today’s meal costs one hundred and twenty-eight thousand per person which adds up to two hundred and fifty-six thousand for two of us. The person paying gets to order the food. We’ll go to another place immediately after you finished this dish.”

“T-Two hundred and fifty-six thousand…?”

‘That’s a lot of money! It might as well be a robbery!’

Suddenly, Ruan Mengmeng felt fearful.

Two hundred and fifty-six thousand. Even if she were to work non-stop for days as a booster, she would need to have tremendous luck. Perhaps if he felt generous from all the games he earned.

“Are you sure that these watery and unrefined dishes were worth two hundred and fifty-six thousand? Li Shao, are you being cheated?”

Even if she was born in a wealthy family, she had never paid more than two hundred thousand for some boiled cabbages in the most extreme cases.

Li Junyu raised his eyebrows and his dark cold eyes grew dim as he asked, “Are you questioning me?”

“No, I would never... ” His stare made her skip a beat and Ruan Mengmeng changed her stance immediately.

“Of course, your palate and taste are first class. If I had to add anything, I would blame the owner of this restaurant for being too dark-hearted. They probably spent too much money renovating a tiny run-down restaurant. I mean, look at this extravagant private dining room with a lake view along the lake. I’m sure they did this on purpose to hike up the prices. In fact, the dishes are very ordinary and are not worth the money all.”

“Oh, is that so?” The guy’s lips moved softly, his tone icy.

Ruan Mengmeng did not know why but his voice made her heart race and she nearly jumped out of her skin.

“Looks like I’ll have to complain to the kitchen so that they’ll improve the quality of their dishes. I wouldn’t want to be called a dark-hearted restaurant owner.”

“I don’t think anyone would dare to scold you, Li Da Shao, unless they don’t plan to l-live…” Ruan Mengmeng suddenly came to a realization.

“Wait a minute, are you the owner of this shop?!”
