The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World Chapter 342 - 341: Ex-Husband and Current Partner’s Collisio

Zhao ng has worked at Qianlima for over ten years and has t many people.

The person who ca today is one of his old custors.

After dealing with them for many years, Zhao ng can sowhat guess if the dish ordered is for entertaining guests, for family, or for so celebratory event.

This old custor ordered a table of dishes today and also specially requested a bowl of seafood noodles.

Zhao ng looked at the nu, specially asked the order-taker to confirm he hadn’t mistaken the person, and then hurried over to the pastry section, temporarily borrowed a six-inch cake, and also asked Li Shuli to help make a beautiful fruit platter, which he personally delivered to the private room.

The old custor is celebrating a birthday today.

Otherwise, usually when coming to the restaurant, the staple would always be mackerel dumplings or seafood congee. This person does not like pasta except for dumplings.

As it turns out, Zhao ng’s guess was very accurate.

Seeing the cake and fruit platter personally delivered by Zhao ng, the old custor was both proud and sowhat moved.

Zhao ng chatted for a bit and said so appropriate blessings before tactfully leaving.

After today’s gesture, at least for the next few years, whenever the person cos to Qianlima to dine, they are bound to order his list of dishes.

Zhao ng left the private room and happily headed back to the kitchen.

As he passed 203, he happened to et a waiter returning with dishes. Zhao ng stopped and greeted him.

Just then, soone ca out of the private room and was stunned to see Zhao ng standing at the door!

"Wow! Old Zhao!!"

Hearing the voice, Zhao ng turned his head and laughed: "Old Hu! Yo, what brings you here?"

Hu Kaixing was a little embarrassed and quickly explained in a low voice: "A friend treated, so I didn’t specifically look for you."

Zhao ng nodded understandingly but still said: "If we hadn’t t, it would be fine, but I’ll say a word to the front desk later and give you guys an internal discount."

Hu Kaixing laughed: "I was just thinking not to bother you."

Zhao ng responded genially: "What’s the trouble in that, it’s just a matter of saying the word."

Hu Kaixing was quite pleased and was about to say sothing when Zhao ng suddenly seed to see sothing and quickly turned his back: "You just eat. I’m just off to the restroom."

Hu Kaixing was dumbfounded and hadn’t reacted when he saw Zhao ng hastily rushing back the way he ca.

As he looked back in the direction Zhao ng had just been looking, he saw a waiter leading a pair of custors walking towards them.

Hu Kaixing looked at the pair, a man and woman walking side by side, and his face suddenly changed.

Li Dan?

He instinctively turned his head toward the corridor and saw Zhao ng turn left into another area.

The waiter was saying as they walked, "The 203 private room is just ahead, please this way."

Hu Kaixing was dumbfounded, watching as Li Dan, following the waiter, walked closer to them.

anwhile, hearing the commotion, the people in the private room ca out to greet them.

"Li Dan!"

At this mont, Li Dan also saw them and walked over with a smile: "ngqi!"

Li Dan first hugged Wang ngqi, then turned to look at Hu Kaixing: "Wow! Old Hu, how did you get so fat!"

Hu Kaixing stared at Li Dan in astonishnt: "Li Dan, how co you’re also here?"

Just as he finished speaking, his wife pinched him on the waist.

Li Dan pretended to be angry: "What, not welcoming ?"

Wang ngqi quickly explained: "No, my husband just didn’t know you were coming today."

Li Dan laughed: "Well, it’s also my fault for contacting suddenly. I originally planned to co see you after settling down, but we happened to want to try the Qianlima specialties, and hearing you were here too, we might as well have a good gathering tonight."

Wang ngqi laughed happily: "Yes, Xiaohuo and I were just saying that since you’re back, if you don’t have ti, we would go see you instead, but it’s great that we all et up today. Co in, the seats are ready for you."

She then looked at the man standing beside Li Dan, who looked very distinguished, and greeted him with a smile: "And you must be Yuhang?"

Li Dan nodded with a smile: "This is my husband, Che Yuhang. Yuhang, this is my best friend, ngqi."

Wang ngqi invited: "Let’s not stand here talking, co in quickly."

Li Dan and her husband entered the private room.

Hu Kaixing quickly took the opportunity to pull Wang ngqi aside and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Honey, how co she’s here?"

Wang ngqi explained: "She just called , and upon hearing we’re at Qianlima, and since she just arrived, she said we should have dinner together."

Having said this, Wang ngqi couldn’t help but ask: "What’s wrong?"

Hu Kaixing shook his head: "Oh, nothing, just surprised. By the way, honey, you go in first, I’ve already stepped out, I might as well go to the restroom."

Wang ngqi, suspecting no ulterior motive, turned back into the private room.

At this point, how could Hu Kaixing not know why Zhao ng had gone to the restroom?

He hurried after him.

Compared to eting Che Yuhang for the first ti, Hu Kaixing certainly values his old friend Zhao ng more.

This kind of encounter between an ex-husband and current partner is simply awkward and embarrassing.

Hu Kaixing, fearing that Zhao ng would misunderstand, chased into the restroom, and seeing no one else was there, quickly explained to Zhao ng.

"Li Dan just arrived in Bei’an today, it was when we were talking that she got in touch with my wife. Hearing we were eating here, she just ca over."

Hu Kaixing studied Zhao ng’s face: "Old Zhao, are you really okay?"

Zhao ng smiled: "What’s there to be okay or not? It’s been so long since the divorce, it’s all in the past."

Hu Kaixing suppressed the urge to scratch his head: "That’s good, I, sigh..."

Zhao ng reached out and patted Hu Kaixing’s shoulder, asking: "I’m done here. Are you going to the restroom, or... leaving with ?"

Seeing Zhao ng’s calm smile, Hu Kaixing suddenly felt his own cautious thoughts were rather petty.

He smiled and nodded: "Oh right, I’m going to the restroom, I’ve taken up so much of your ti, you go back, and I’ll contact you later so we can et up."

Zhao ng suddenly laughed: "Hey, Old Hu, are you sure you’re here to use the restroom? Don’t you have sothing to say to ?"

Hu Kaixing was a bit embarrassed, as Zhao ng’s expression clearly indicated he had seen through everything, intentionally teasing him.

Unable to keep the act up, Hu Kaixing imdiately felt relieved: "I’m just worried you might overthink it. I was also a bit shocked when I suddenly saw Li Dan, it’s been, what, three years since I last saw her."

Zhao ng laughed: "It’s been even longer for . Haven’t contacted each other ever since the divorce. I wonder how she’s doing now?"

Although it was still a bit awkward, Hu Kaixing sincerely, from the bottom of his heart, smiled and said: "You’re just curious and want to know, right? I originally didn’t want to tell you, worried you’d feel uncomfortable, but knowing ahead of ti is good in case you run into it again in the future or hear from others, to avoid further awkwardness."
