Chapter 805: Chapter 805: The Most Cruel Punishment Chapter 805: Chapter 805: The Most Cruel Punishment “Food festival?”
Qin Youxuan’s cat-like eyes suddenly sparkled as she squatted down in front of him, “Are you slapping me then giving me a date?”
“You already agreed, no backing out!” Qin Youxuan grabbed his hand and reached out to cover his mouth.
The next day, Qin Youxuan got up bright and early to get herself ready.
She chose a casual, knee-length dress that was slightly cinched at the waist but not tight, showcasing her slender figure gracefully.
After rummaging through her shoe cabinet, she finally picked out a pair of flat sandals.
By the time Yao had dropped her off at the Fox Restaurant, Dan Hanjie hadn’t arrived yet.
“Madam, because today is the food festival, all the private rooms have been canceled, there’s only the open seating outside where you can see the food festival stalls in a long line opposite.”
Yao respectfully led Qin Youxuan to the reserved spot and softly explained.
“When does the food festival start?” Qin Youxuan, craving the aromatic dishes, was becoming increasingly impatient.
To look but not eat, isn’t that just tormenting?
“It starts at eleven in the morning, but if Madam is hungry, you can order something to eat now.”
“Never mind, I’ll wait for Dan Hanjie.” Qin Youxuan propped her chin with her hands, occasionally scanning the food festival stalls, planning which dish to start with later.
Fox Restaurant was a large food chain, offering a variety of themed dining options—more than a dozen, including Chinese and Western cuisine as well as special dishes from many small countries.
It was one of the landmark restaurants.
A festival , held annually, was heaven for food lovers.
Qin Youxuan sat by the window, having the most expansive view.
Next to her was Brazilian barbecue, with rows of meat turning on spits, and as the chefs sliced thin pieces deftly, it served as both a culinary and a visual delight.
Adjacent to the Brazilian barbecue stall was an American steakhouse.
Meat again, but prepared in a wholly different way.
The sizzling sounds from the steak on the griddle, the aroma wafting through the air, and the dish finally presented with vegetables and fruits around it—it was delicate and enticing.
Italian pasta, Korean kimchi, Chinese imperial pastries…
It was enough to make anyone’s mouth water.
Qin Youxuan forcibly pulled her gaze away and asked again, “Has Dan Hanjie not finished his work yet?”
She was about to lose her patience.
Dan Hanjie asking her to come early wasn’t a reward, it was a punishment.
For a food lover, being able to look but not eat was there anything more cruel than that?
“Mr. Jie is already on his way.” Yao replied respectfully.
“Then hurry down to wait for him and tell him his wife and kid are almost starving here,” Qin Youxuan joked as she leaned on the table.
Yao turned and walked downstairs.
Once Yao left, Qin Youxuan sat alone at the table, facing a feast for the eyes, and without anyone to talk to, she grew even hungrier.
She dared not glance at the food again and Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today!
Catching the glimpse of someone heading her way, her cat-like eyes momentarily widened, and she instinctively furrowed her brows.
“Seeing me, you seem unhappy? No matter what, I believe I am a feast for the eyes, not worse than the food here. Is it really necessary?” Dan Hanxi walked up and confidently sat opposite her, casually running a hand through his short hair at his forehead.
Many women stopped in their tracks, looking his way.
Unrejecting, Dan Hanxi let everyone take out their phones and snap away.
The buzz lasted for a few minutes until he waved his hands, indicating he had other matters to attend to.
Only then did the group of women move on toward the exhibition area, but they kept looking back at him as they went.
