Chapter 321

Su Zhao nervously fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, stammering, “Wor… worrying about you.”

Yi Zhonglin chuckled instantly upon hearing this, bending down to take her hand.

“I heard the brothers under my command recommended this place. You should also try it and see how it tastes.
If you think it’s delicious, I’ll bring the chef home and have him prepare three meals a day just for you.”

Lin Qianhuan, sitting beside them, rolled her eyes at their sugary display.

“Young Master Yi, you can’t just spoil your wife by snatching the chef from my shop.
If you really take him away, how will I open for business tomorrow?”

Yi Zhonglin didn’t care at all, his gaze fixed on Su Zhao, his eyes deep and gentle.
He was truly infatuated, but Su Zhao clearly hadn’t caught on yet; he would have to suffer some hardship.

“I don’t want the chef here.”
Su Zhao tugged at Yi Zhonglin’s sleeve. “If you bring a chef home, wouldn’t I have even less to do?”

Because it was dangerous outside, the Yi family protected her very well, and she rarely went out on weekdays.
Being stuck at home wasn’t very interesting, so Su Zhao liked to experiment with new dishes.
However…
The taste was hard to describe.

Yi Zhonglin sighed and carefully wiped the tableware clean, placing a piece of Dongpo pork in Su Zhao’s bowl.

“Alright, no chef.
Try it; if you like it, I’ll bring you here often in the future.”

Su Zhao sat in her seat, being fed by him, eating earnestly, her cheeks bulging like an adorable little hamster.

Lin Qianhuan’s eyes softened, feeling that this person in front of her was somewhat similar to He Lu, and she couldn’t help but feel a little more fondness for her.

“Delicious!”
After eating a piece of Dongpo pork, Su Zhao very happily took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

“It’s very authentic, and the taste is also good.”

Seeing that she liked it, Yi Zhonglin’s face also carried a hint of a smile.

“Try the shrimp.”

The two of them continued feeding each other, quickly finishing the two dishes on the table.

Full and satisfied, Su Zhao leaned tiredly on Yi Zhonglin’s shoulder and yawned, “Can we skip the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?
I’m so tired; I want to go home.”

Seeing that these two great deities finally intended to leave, Lin Qianhuan hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen, bringing out the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and placing it on the table.

“I’m giving you the pot; take it home and stew it yourself.”

Yi Zhonglin gave his bodyguard a look. The bodyguard was very efficient, immediately storing the casserole into his space.

“Then we’ll be leaving now.”

Yi Zhonglin stood up, helping Su Zhao to leave, but she grabbed his sleeve.

“You haven’t paid yet; we can’t eat a free meal.”

The education she had received since childhood told her that this kind of behavior was wrong.

Yi Zhonglin sighed and turned to look at Lin Qianhuan. “How much?”

She smiled grimly. “I’ll give you 20% off; just give me 38,924 level one crystal cores.”

Even though Yi Zhonglin wasn’t short of crystal cores, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised to hear Lin Qianhuan’s words.

“So expensive? That’s even higher than the prices at the top restaurants in the Nanfeng base.”

Lin Qianhuan held out her palm, her smile bright and sunny.

“The Longjing Shrimp and Dongpo Pork are nothing, but the ingredients for the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are very substantial.
Abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, scallops, beef tendon…
These things combined make that pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall; asking you for these crystal cores is already a small price.”

Saying this, she added, “Young Master Yi wouldn’t be thinking of eating a free meal, would you?”

Su Zhao frowned slightly and looked up at Yi Zhonglin. “Pay up quickly; we can’t take advantage of people for no reason.”

Yi Zhonglin scratched his head. “This woman was able to successfully secure this villa and open a shop by borrowing my name. What’s wrong with me eating three of her dishes?”

“We should keep matters separate. Eating requires payment; what does it have to do with other things?”

Su Zhao was a little angry. Seeing her pouting, Yi Zhonglin looked helpless and took out his identity card from his pocket.

“Swipe the card then.”

“Alright!”

Lin Qianhuan moved quickly, as if afraid that Yi Zhonglin would go back on his word, and transferred the crystal cores to her account.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Su Zhao smiled slightly and took Yi Zhonglin’s hand, about to leave.

“Miss Su, please wait.”

Lin Qianhuan walked up to Su Zhao and took out a strawberry cake from her space.

“This is a gift for you; it’s a small token of my appreciation.”

Looking at the bright red strawberries on the cream, Su Zhao swallowed, naturally a little tempted.

She took out her identity card from her pocket and handed it to Lin Qianhuan.

“How many crystal cores? I’ll buy it; I can’t let you give it to me for free.”

“Young Master Yi spent so much; I should give some gifts.
Miss Su, there’s no need to be polite; just accept the cake.
Come to the shop more often in the future and try our new dishes.”

After speaking, Lin Qianhuan handed Su Zhao a cup of milk tea, not allowing her to refuse, and made a gesture of invitation.

“It’s already very late; you two should go home and rest.”

Yi Zhonglin looked at the cake and milk tea in Su Zhao’s hands, and the last trace of displeasure in his heart disappeared.

This woman was clever, knowing who to please to be most useful.

“Let’s go; the benefits she’s gotten from me are much more than this cake and cup of milk tea.”

Yi Zhonglin put his arm around Su Zhao and got into the car. The headlights pierced through the darkness, heading towards Yufu Huacheng.

Lin Qianhuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in a random seat, feeling a little tired.

It was already 11 PM. The surroundings were desolate, and there was no one speaking in the room, making it particularly silent.
