129: Chapter 0129 Gluttonous Feats 129: Chapter 0129 Gluttonous Feats After the waiter left, Lin Yingying personally poured Long Fei a cup of tea.
Her attentive behavior made Long Fei wonder what kind of sche she was planning for him.
“Director Lin, just speak your mind!
We’re all acquaintances here, no need for such formalities.”
Long Fei couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Yingying gave him a look and said, “Who’s an acquaintance with you?
After tonight, you’re still you, I’m still , we’ll still be strangers.”
Long Fei took a sip of tea and stared at her, “Could it be that you really don’t care about that night’s event?”
He already knew that Lin Yingying was the person he was engaged to as a child, and he needed to clear this matter up even more now.
Lin Yingying deliberately avoided the topic, her face flushed as she chided, “Can we not talk about that night, okay?
I didn’t co to see you tonight to discuss that!”
“But…”
Long Fei wanted to discuss this matter, for once it was clear, he could start dating Wang Xiaoya.
He had barely started speaking when Lin Yingying stood up, “If you ntion it again, I’m leaving!”
Long Fei swallowed his words and said with a heavy tone, “Alright, let’s not talk about it.”
Lin Yingying then sat down again, took a sip of tea, and glared at him indignantly for quite a while.
Looking at her, Long Fei felt as though he had stolen sothing from her.
Feeling uneasy, he asked, “Director Lin, what do you want to talk to about?”
Lin Yingying’s gaze was sharp as she asked him, “Have you been with Shanshan the past few days?”
“Seems like it!”
Long Fei nodded.
“What has she been telling you?”
Lin Yingying frowned slightly.
Long Fei was startled as he looked at her, thinking she misunderstood that he had so sort of relationship with Lin Shanshan.
He quickly explained, “Nothing much, we just talked about starting a business together.
Other than that, we’ve been completely innocent!”
“Only that?”
Lin Yingying looked at him suspiciously.
Long Fei said, “Just that, I swear!”
Lin Yingying observed him, and he didn’t seem to be lying.
Today, she had asked Su Qi to check on Lin Shanshan’s whereabouts, and indeed, Lin Shanshan had been with Long Fei these past two days.
Otherwise, she was at the school for military training and hadn’t gone far from town.
However, Lin Shanshan told her today that she knew about the engagent.
Seeing Lin Shanshan so confident in her speech, Lin Yingying felt she might know sothing.
She suspected that this matter could be related to Long Fei.
After all, the only outsider Lin Shanshan t was Long Fei.
She began to probe, “Shanshan hasn’t ntioned anything about in the past few days, has she?”
“About you?”
Long Fei suddenly rembered the matter of their childhood engagent, and it dawned on him that this was what Lin Yingying wanted to ask about.
He cleared his throat and feigned ignorance, “Yeah, she said you’re a penny-pincher, unwilling to invest in her business.
Moreover, she said you’re always domineering and bullying her.”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Lin Yingying slamd the table in irritation and demanded from Long Fei, “Do you believe that?”
Long Fei chuckled awkwardly and said in a weak voice, “I kind of believe it.”
Lin Yingying grumbled, “Do you even have a brain?
Do you believe everything people tell you?
Where do I look domineering?
Am I not always gentle?”
Her shouting caught the attention of the other custors, who turned around to look.
Caught in an awkward situation, Long Fei flashed the onlookers a smile and whispered to Lin Yingying, “Can we keep our voices down?”
Lin Yingying took a breath, cald herself after a mont, and said solemnly, “She didn’t talk to you about my marriage, did she?”
Long Fei pretended to be surprised, “My goodness, are you married?”
Lin Yingying blushed and hurriedly said, “Are you trying to kill ?
I was speaking softly.
Why are you being so loud?”
“I’m just excited!”
Long Fei smirked inwardly, teasing her on purpose, “If you get married, then won’t I beco ‘the other woman’?”
Lin Yingying ground her teeth and muttered resentfully, “What does it have to do with you?
Don’t get ahead of yourself, okay?”
“We have no relationship now, but we will in the future!”
Long Fei chuckled, mumbling to himself as he sized her up.
Lin Yingying’s eyes, bright as morning stars, shimred like clear springs.
Her face was adorned with two dimples, trademarks of the Lin Family, that would delicately turn up even when she was annoyed.
She was usually serious and unsmiling, but the occasional flash of her smile truly was a charm that could bring a hundred flowers into full bloom.
This wife had looks and talent; apart from a bit of a temper, she was perfect.
Unfortunately, he already had Wang Xiaoya, so he could only apologize to his grandpa.
Feeling his gaze, Lin Yingying beca uneasy and asked in a low voice, “Can you take your eyes off , please?”
Long Fei snapped back to reality, gave a cough, and quickly bowed his head.
Soon, the waiter began to bring out the dishes.
The huge table, one and a half ters in diater, was completely covered with food.
at dishes, vegetarian dishes, sweet, spicy, soupy, deep-fried—a ssy mix of everything.
Long Fei, picking up his chopsticks, exclaid with excitent, “Director Lin, do you have any other concerns?
If not, I’m going to start eating!”
Lin Yingying deliberately teased him, folding her arms and saying, “I ca here to treat you to a al, but that doesn’t an you can waste food as you please.
We agreed in advance that if you don’t finish this table of dishes, even if only one dish is left, you’ll have to pick up the tab.”
The dishes on this table really weren’t expensive.
Long Fei, who didn’t know much about food, had ordered simple ho-cooked dishes.
A bowl of abalone and so bird’s nest would top the cost of this whole table of food.
Lin Yingying wasn’t worried about the money; she purely found Long Fei irritating.
For so reason, she just got angry whenever she saw him.
Long Fei was pleasantly surprised, “Does this an that, as long as I finish it all, you’re paying?”
“Yes!”
Lin Yingying gave him an unamused look.
Long Fei imdiately waved over a waiter.
Thinking he was going to send dishes back, Lin Yingying glared at him, ready to intervene.
When the waiter ca over, Long Fei quickly ordered, “Bring five more bowls of rice, and would you consider getting bigger bowls in this place?”
The waiter asked in alarm, “Sir, are you sure?”
This table of food was enough to feed more than ten people.
“Hurry up, I’m very sure!”
Long Fei waved his hand and started on a bowl of rice.
Lin Yingying felt like spitting up blood, thinking this guy was showing off way too much.
She didn’t believe he could finish the entire table of dishes.
While Long Fei ate, she didn’t touch a bite, just watched him.
But then the food on the table started disappearing dish by dish, bowl by bowl, until even the soup was drunk up by Long Fei.
Long Fei finally understood why it was priced so expensively.
The flavors were beyond what any small restaurant could achieve; perfectly balanced in color, aroma, and taste, the al was truly indulgent.
Take the braised pork, for example; it was a ticulously sourced mix of fatty and lean cuts, oozing delicious pork fat with every bite.
The burst of flavor was enough to make taste buds rejoice.
In less than half an hour, the more than thirty dishes on the table had all been polished off by Long Fei.
He asked for five more bowls of rice during the al, consuming a total of eleven bowls.
Lin Yingying was almost scared to death as she stared blankly at Long Fei, thinking he must have been a buffalo in his past life.
Otherwise, how could he eat so much?
