She couldn’t understand some of the new words, but the note below tortellini read “cooked with cream.” What could be cooked with cream? Zhou Qiaoqiao’s first thought was spaghetti! Creamy spaghetti, delicious without a doubt.
Yan Wei ordered a plate of Italian tortellini and looked proud, smiling and shaking his head as he handed the menu to the waiter, saying, “Let’s go with today’s chef’s recommendation!”
The waiter acknowledged and withdrew the menu.
Meanwhile, Zhou Qiaoqiao, having discovered that she could order like this, had a look of sorrow on her face: “…”
Yan Wei frowned, “…” How could inviting her to dinner seemed like going to a funeral.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was still in a daze, wondering if she could still do this. Although Zhou Qiaoqiao was silly, her personality was not completely weak, otherwise she would not have been able to survive until this age.
Not liking to be seen as weak was probably also related to her slight inferiority complex. Therefore, she was always eager to prove herself with a little bit of provocation.
After ordering a dish she couldn’t understand, Yan Wei’s way of ordering made her feel very frustrated for a moment.
Yan Wei picked up the tall glass on the table, looked up at her, and asked casually, “What are you looking at?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao shook her head, and Yan Wei swayed his wine glass. The wine inside the glass spun along with his movement, releasing the aroma of the wine.
Yan Wei leaned towards the rim of the glass and asked her, “Do you know what ‘the length of wine’ means?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at him with three big question marks on her head. Yan Wei smiled lightly, took a sip of the wine, closed his eyes and tasted it for a while before saying, “Length, referring to the duration of tasting wine. The longer the duration, the higher the quality. Just like this wine we are having now, its sweetness, acidity, and tannin have reached the perfect balance…”
Zhou Qiaoqiao listened to him calmly, and Yan Wei’s narrow phoenix eyes glanced at her lightly, as if he was conveying a happy scripture to the world.
“Do you have any questions?” Yan Wei asked her. He was not a talkative person. But Zhou Qiaoqiao was different. When they met at the company today, he felt that this girl was very special.
However, he couldn’t pinpoint what was special about her. Therefore, he followed her upstairs. Yan Wei was the young master of Yuyao Entertainment after all. He never lacked anything in terms of food, drink, and play. He was used to getting whatever he wanted.
For someone like him, was there any need to suppress his thoughts and actions? It wasn’t like he was breaking the law.
So Yan Wei followed her and invited her to dinner.
And the surprise was like the gift on the bedside when you wake up on Christmas morning. He didn’t even know when he fell asleep.
But in reality, other than sleeping pills, he hadn’t slept so deeply and soundly like he did today at noon in years.
She was a treasure, and he had opened the lid today. He was already surrounded by her dazzling light, and he wanted to explore what was behind that light.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was so special, and Yan Wei naturally wanted to show off in front of her. Whether it was his wealth, his handsome looks, or his high-end taste. This chapter was copied from novelping dot com without permission.
However…
Zhou Qiaoqiao tilted her head and said, “I don’t drink wine.” No money to drink!
Yan Wei: “…”
Zhou Qiaoqiao continued to ask, “But you’ve talked so much, and I believe you really like wine, don’t you?”
Yan Wei replied, “…” Well, I prefer glucose.
After playing piano to a cow for so long, they finally got to the point.
(TL: (对牛弹琴) playing piano/music to a cow – a chinese proverb that means you’re trying to impress someone with a skill or talent but that person is uninterested or unappreciative.)
The topic of wine didn’t interest Zhou Qiaoqiao at all, and Yan Wei himself wasn’t interested. He couldn’t even eat his food, let alone the wine.
Zhou Qiaoqiao listened to the wine tasting talk for a while, but she didn’t understand it at all. However, she didn’t interrupt out of politeness. She finally survived the “sophisticated” conversation when her food arrived.
Something resembling dumplings was placed on a white Italian plate, with a few green leaves on top and a green powder sprinkled around the edge. Oh, the dumplings seemed to be wrapped in something yellow, with some milky white soup at the bottom of the plate.
Zhou Qiaoqiao asked, “Is this… a new type of Italian pasta?”
“It’s Italian dumplings,” came the voice from the opposite side of the table, like the low notes of a piano, dispelling Zhou Qiaoqiao’s doubts.
Yan Wei cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, eating elegantly. He said to her, “With cheese filling.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao blinked her long eyelashes, fluttering innocently like a fan. She looked at him and said, “…”
But being speechless couldn’t solve the awkwardness in front of her, so Zhou Qiaoqiao decided to eat it. She put a forkful in her mouth, and the chaotic dumplings with cheese filling were cooked in cream and baked with cheese.
With one bite, the strong taste of cheese mixed with cream broth instantly filled every corner of her mouth.
Damn… it’s too greasy!
What the hell, isn’t this a cheese bomb?
After tearfully eating two, Zhou Qiaoqiao finally gave up and put down her fork, staring at the smoked beef on the opposite side with drool dripping from her mouth.
Yan Wei had a good mood and ate a whole piece of beef in front of Zhou Qiaoqiao. Afterwards, there were successive dishes of rich cappuccino-style porcini mushroom soup, pan-seared sea bass fillet, sour tomato tart, and more. Finally, there was a fresh orange cream caramel pudding.
Only Zhou Qiaoqiao, who only had Italian tortellini, remained speechless: “……”
Yan Wei pressed his lips against the pristine white cloth and glanced at Zhou Qiaoqiao, who already had a despairing expression. He asked, “Why aren’t you eating?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at the empty plate that the servant had just taken away for him and then at the 10 tortellini left in front of her. She opened her mouth and wanted to say that she was full, but couldn’t resist and said in a helpless tone, “I also want to eat dessert.”
What a straightforward girl.
Yan Wei chuckled lightly. In fact, he didn’t taste anything after eating so much. He just liked to tease her. After teasing her, he should give her something to eat. He told the waiter next to him, “Take away the tortellini for her and bring a serving of tuna sauce beef rolls, porcini mushroom soup, and a dessert of espresso panna cotta with salted chocolate chips.”
Yan Wei purposely spoke in Chinese. After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Qiaoqiao and asked, “Anything else you want to order?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao bit her lip and shook her head.
While she was waiting for her food with embarrassment, Yan Wei seemed very silent.
He was already a solitary person. When he didn’t want to talk, even the air around him started to push people away. Zhou Qiaoqiao didn’t know why he suddenly became silent, so she didn’t try to start a conversation with him.
After the embarrassment passed, she happily waited for her food. She sat in the chair, sliding her toes on the ground, and looking down at the floor.
The food arrived quickly. Zhou Qiaoqiao had already been tired of the greasy taste and wanted to eat something else to freshen her palate, even if it was just instant noodles. At this moment, she took up her utensils and ate seriously.
Zhou Qiaoqiao actually eats deliciously. When she was hospitalized, Shao Kai (Brother Sunglasses) would eat with her every time he visited, and he would always say that he could eat an extra bowl of food when eating with her.
Zhou Qiaoqiao would put a large mouthful of food in her mouth. The movement of her cheeks moving up and down made her look like a squirrel. When she swallowed, she always looked satisfied.
“She enjoyed the process of chewing and swallowing food, and naturally made those around her feel happy.
Zhou Qiaoqiao didn’t know that Yan Wei was staring into the distance, and also looking at her through the corner of his eye.
He swallowed his saliva and for the first time, felt the desire for food.”
