Upon hearing Huo Ci’s words, Ling Sheng ran to his side hurriedly and whispered something in his ear before looking at the waiter. “Please make it milder. Don’t make it spicy and numb.”
Auntie Yu’s stomach was not in a good condition. A few days ago, she had been angered by her father until she got stomach spasms. How could she eat something heavy and spicy? She had deliberately chosen a light-flavored restaurant, all right?
However, what the hell was with not adding scallions, ginger, and star anise? Their family did not avoid such food. It must be Auntie Yu who could not eat it!
Out of the corner of his eye, Huo Ci swept a look at the woman opposite him. He was secretly annoyed, and a ball of fire burned in his heart. Was he crazy? Why had he not forgotten her habits after so many years?
The expression in Nangong Lengyu’s eyes did not change but her emotions were complicated as she smiled at the waiter. “Please just include the usual amount.”
The waiter was confused by the requests of the three of them. He did not know who to listen to. He stood there awkwardly. Were they trying to drive him mad?
Upon seeing the look in her father’s eyes grow darker and more frightening, Ling Sheng was afraid that he would explode in the next moment. She hurriedly said, “The usual is fine. Sorry to trouble you.”
Anyway, she had ordered a lot of light food. Auntie Yu should be able to eat them. There was no need to deliberately ask for milder food. If it was too bland, there would be no flavor.
The waiter walked out of the private room, still feeling a little scared. The two goddesses were easy to talk to, but he kept feeling that Best Actor Huo was a little frightening. The air beside him seemed thinner than elsewhere.
The atmosphere was indeed a little awkward. Even Ling Sheng, who knew how to have fun, could not hold it in anymore. Her scalp felt numb, and she really wanted to slap herself. Why did she play with fire for no reason? Wasn’t gathering the two big shots deliberately causing her trouble?
Xiaoqi could also feel the heavy atmosphere. He sat beside Grandpa obediently and bit the straw for drinking water. Why were Mommy and everyone else not talking?
In the end, it was Ling Sheng, the hostess, who broke the awkward deadlock and started chatting with Nangong Lengyu about clothes. She asked her what she should wear on the red carpet at the end of the year.
Huo Ci was playing games on his phone but he was actually being absent-minded. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the woman opposite him. Her stomach was not well? When had her stomach not been well?
F*ck!
What did that have to do with him!
Even if she were to die on the spot, what would that have to do with him?!
During the meal, other than Xiaoqi, the remaining three people all bore their own thoughts. Only the person himself knew what he was thinking.
Ling Sheng was in charge of livening up the atmosphere. She could not ignore her father or make Auntie Yu feel uncomfortable. She had thought it out well, but she had realized that it was too difficult in practice. It was too difficult. She simply had it too tough.
When they started eating,
Her father did not speak at all. When one spoke to him, he would end the conversation with one word. It was either yes or no. He cherished words like gold and would not say an additional word.
Auntie Yu was surprisingly lively. She completely ignored her father’s presence and took food for her and Xiaoqi.
In the meantime, she watched as a nice dinner party turned into a smokeless war. However, she was unable to stop it and could only weep silently in her heart.
Nangong Lengyu picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Xiaoqi’s bowl. She smiled and said, “Xiaoqi is growing. Eat more meat.”
Upon seeing that Xiaoqi was about to put meat in his mouth, Huo Ci said in a low voice, “You were already overweight during your physical examination at the hospital last time. If you continue eating, you’ll become Hou Yaojie!”
Xiaoqi pouted and took a look at Grandpa, then at Grandma. It was so hard for him. Should he eat or not?
