Chapter 201 – The Boss Had A Nosebleed (2)
“You can be as casual as you want at home, but you must at least know these rules.”
Huo Sishen paused.
The saying is “rich and noble.” First rich, then noble.
And elegance was the most important characteristic of nobility.
His girl could be as capricious and free will as she’d like. He could have her under his wings.
But once they have children, it would become important for her to tell what’s right from wrong. That’s the only way she’d be able to pass them on.
Just like his little sister.
She could have her ways at home. She would be protected by her father and brother.
But when she got married and needed to raise her children, she’d be looked down by her husband’s family if she was ignorant. Or worst, she’d fail to raise her children properly.
As Huo Sishen was thinking about this, his look became colder.
And there was a discomfort in his chest.
He looked up and looked at the sweet and mellow girl sitting docilely in front of him with his suit jacket over her. He thought about how, in the future, she’d marry another man, have on another man’s clothes, have kids with another man... raise their children...
His grip on the wine glass tightened.
He felt that the wine that he had just taken a sip of was bitter and astringent. And a slight sour taste spread out on the tip of his tongue.
Gu Shishi had no idea and was oblivious that this was Boss Huo’s Train my Girl (Wife) lesson.
She simply assumed that he was this strict with everyone.
Luckily, she didn’t object to learning from him.
Quite the contrary, her eyes were beaming like a mouse who had fallen into a big tub of rice!
[Beep! Received a Michelin 3-star exclusive dinner (entire restaurant). Value at: $562,203.]
[Recharge complete!]
[Life Balance: 10 days.]
Who would have thought that when the boss said to make a reservation, he meant he had reserved the entire restaurant?
This was beyond a show of wealth; this was straight up domineering!
This wasn’t a French meal that she was having; she was having a Queen’s meal!
Every bite was so enjoyable!
The servers, standing in two rows next to them, awaited to be summoned.
Huo Sishen would stop after teach plate and have them bring up more wine.
And he’d explain how to drink the wine to her in details.
Each and every single one of them.
The servers acted like they were serving an emperor. Some holding the wine glasses. Others the ice bucket. And some others with the napkins, the dishes... all waited for his command.
Gu Shishi would take a bit of the food and try a sip of the wine.
Then she’d look at the perfectly handsome Boss Huo who was explaining to her in his handsome and chicly way and demonstrating to her how to properly use the fork and knife...
She listened to his magnetic voice...
She was on cloud nine!
The information was dry but she could take this class over and over again without getting tired of it!
“Do you get it?”
Just listen. How wonderful was this voice!
“Uhuh. Uhuh.”
Gu Shishi nodded. She only wished she could record his voice right now.
Boss Huo waved his hand.
The servers quickly removed the entrée and the wine that went with it.
And brought up the next course!
Gu Shishi continued to listen happily.
The amount of each course was not very much and she only had a taste of each wine.
But the experience was entirely novel.
Gu Shishi felt that a door to a whole new world had been opened up for her.
She had copy-painted Song Huizong’s illustrations of flowers and birds.

There was a distinct advantage to drawing bird and flower gongbi with a touch of femininity.
But her master had always said that what was missing between her strokes were true carefreeness and nobility.
Her work might resemble that of Song Huizong’s, but it was leaps and bounds away from Song Huizong’s Mystical Crane.
She didn’t understand before nor did she ever figure out what exactly was nobility.
But, tonight, looking at the servers lining up in two rows and how the hidden envy and jealousy hidden in the looks of the female servers when they looked at her, she seemed to have glimpse at it now!
Song Huizong, albeit being one of the most unreliable emperors in Chinese history.
But every inch of the land belonged to him.
He was an emperor. No matter how humble he was, his pride and extravagant would well exceed those of commoners!
