Lu Xingzhi glanced at the nu; it was all in French. This restaurant is tricky.
If you don’t know French, you can’t even order food.
Lu Xingzhi ordered foie gras, creamy mushroom soup, a grilled shrimp and chicken salad, and a raspberry cheesecake.
Then she handed the nu to Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng looked over it and, besides the main course, also ordered an Australian Lobster. After returning the nu to the waiter, he added, "And a bottle of ’82 Lafite, so dessert, and a molten chocolate cake."
Huo Jincheng didn’t particularly like sweets; this was all for Lu Xingzhi.
"Alright, please wait a mont!" The waiter smiled and noted down the order before leaving with the nu.
"Uncle, um... I think maybe we shouldn’t order Lafite! Besides, I don’t drink, and it’s not fun for you to drink alone. Can’t we just have sothing simpler?"
"Today is your birthday, just have a little! As long as you don’t overdo it, it’ll be fine." In reality, a glass of red wine is only about half a glass.
Even drinking this much, Lu Xingzhi wouldn’t get drunk.
Moreover, she could already handle a little alcohol.
Probably developed a taste from drinking green plum wine.
"Alright then!" Well, I’ll indulge just this once.
After all, her silly, wealthy Uncle could afford it!
She always thought that soone like Huo Jincheng wouldn’t order wine and dishes like this.
But it’s okay; today is her nineteenth birthday after all. She should have a drink to celebrate herself.
Since they were the only custors, the dishes were served quickly.
Lu Xingzhi looked at that huge Australian Lobster and took a bite. She couldn’t help but marvel at how delicious it was!
In comparison, while they’re all lobsters, the Australian Lobster was in a much higher class than the smaller ones, and the price wasn’t just a little more.
"Eat more, if it’s not enough, we can order more." Recently, Lu Xingzhi had grown fond of eating small lobsters, often ordering them via an app late at night.
He had told her more than once to eat less of those things.
But the young girl was quite stubborn and didn’t listen to him at all.
Skewers, spicy shrimps, mala crayfish, spicy crabs, grilled live carp, she would cycle through these foods.
He always felt the primary reason Lu Xingzhi liked staying in the apartnt with him was the convenience of ordering takeout.
"That’s enough, there’s already so much food here. And isn’t there dessert too? No need to order more." Lu Xingzhi thought she should save room for more delicacies tonight.
"Zhi Zhi, happy birthday!" Huo Jincheng raised his glass.
"Thank you!" Lu Xingzhi raised her glass too.
Just as she was about to drink, Huo Jincheng reminded her, "Don’t drink too much, just a small sip."
"Okay!" Lu Xingzhi nodded. Was it because the wine was expensive? It even slled nicer.
"Eat more!" Huo Jincheng said softly.
"Okay!" Lu Xingzhi thought everything tasted especially good today.
As a result, almost the entire table of food ended up in her stomach.
Especially that Australian Lobster, Huo Jincheng didn’t even touch it, as Lu Xingzhi finished it all by herself.
Seeing Lu Xingzhi eat with such appetite, Huo Jincheng didn’t find it botherso at all; he rather enjoyed it because her good appetite seed to improve his own.
He just loved seeing her so satisfied.
