Old Master Ji slammed the door shut with a bang. It was finally quiet. As expected, he could not see that the couple was in a good mood!
Five minutes later, Old Master Ji slowly walked out of the ward and said, “Let’s go and eat.”
Fang Xiaonuan looked up in confusion. Old Master Ji had already changed his clothes. He even washed his face and fixed his hair.
She asked in a low voice, feeling guilty, “Hubby, do you think we forgot to get some water for dad to wash his face?”
Ji Lingchen was stunned and did not say a word.
Old Master Ji deliberately told the doctor where to go and the doctor gave him a few words of advice. Then, Ji Lingchen brought his father and wife to the restaurant, Shuxiang Garden. Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of Shuxiang Garden. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the restaurant’s signboard and her eyes were scrunched up in a smile.
“I want braised prawns, sea cucumber with gravy, smoked chicken, roasted abalone with salt, grilled corn with cheese, braised lion’s head…” Fang Xiaonuan started to mutter the names of the dishes before even entering the restaurant.
Ji Lingchen’s lips curled up when he heard that. His little wife was really a foodie!
Just as he entered the restaurant, the manager of the restaurant greeted him with a smile and said, “CEO Ji, welcome to our restaurant. What special dishes do you want to eat today?”
“It’s not for me. It’s for my greedy little cat who wants to eat. I specifically brought her here to satisfy her cravings,” Ji Lingchen said lovingly as he gazed at Fang Xiaonuan.
Fang Xiaonuan walked over unhappily and hugged the man’s arm. “It’s fine if you call me a greedy cat at home, but why would you say that about me here? You’re embarrassing me! Hmph!”
Seeing his wife’s embarrassed and angry expression put the man in a good mood. He said softly, “Got it, wife. I’ll only call you that at home from now on.”
Ji Lingchen had always had a serious reputation. He had never spoken to anyone with such a pleasant expression.
Today, the manager of Shuxiang Garden was actually lucky enough to see Ji Lingchen’s tender side. He was also shocked by Fang Xiaonuan’s words. Could it be that this little girl in front of him was Ji Lingchen’s rumored wife?
Everyone in the upper-class circles knew about Ji Lingchen’s marriage. He was only a hotel manager and did not have the qualifications to attend the wedding. However, the people who came to Shuxiang Garden to eat were either rich or noble. He always overheard guests’ discussions about Ji Lingchen’s marriage, so he knew a little about it. When he saw this young woman, he took a second glance.
Ji Lingchen noticed the restaurant manager’s gaze, and his expression darkened. He said unhappily, “Have you seen enough?”
After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly said in a panic, “I’m… I’m sorry, CEO Ji. I’m sorry, Mrs. Ji. I was being rude.”
Ji Lingchen snorted coldly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard someone’s stomach growl. The sound came from Old Master Ji’s stomach. He said somewhat angrily, “We’re here to eat. How long do you want us to stand here?”
“Old Master Ji, CEO Ji, Mrs. Ji, this way please.” The experienced man hurriedly invited the three of them to sit down.
Ji Lingchen’s appearance attracted the attention of many guests. Most of them were from the upper-class circles, so they naturally knew Ji Lingchen.
Ji Lingchen did not have the time to pay attention to the gazes of the people around him. His attention was completely focused on the “greedy little cat” beside him.
Fang Xiaonuan kept pulling on his finger, and she shifted her weight impatiently. It looked like she was chasing after Ji Lingchen, but in fact, she could not keep up with Ji Lingchen’s pace and was desperately chasing after him. He was holding her hand tightly, so she could not help but grumble to herself, “Being led by my husband is really tiring!”
When they arrived at their seats, the three of them sat down one after another. The place they were seated at was a spectator stand on the third floor. If they sat there and ate, they could have a clear view of all the downstairs scenery. This was the best spot in the entire restaurant. The manager had deliberately led them here. Every time Ji Lingchen came to the restaurant, he would sit here.
“Wow, isn’t this place beautiful? This is my first time sitting here!” Fang Xiaonuan said excitedly. After saying that, she leaned against the railing and took in the beautiful scenery downstairs.
Seeing that half of his daughter-in-law’s body was over the railing, Old Master Ji shouted worriedly, “Nuannuan, move back a little. If you go any further, you will fall and become a pancake on the floor!”
“Dad, don’t worry. I’m an adult, I’ll be careful!” Fang Xiaonuan replied with a smile.
He sighed. “Then, why are you still acting like a child?” Old Master Ji muttered.
The manager overheard the conversation and thought to himself, ‘Old Master Ji really cares about his daughter-in-law!’
“CEO Ji, should we still serve your regular orders?” the manager asked.
Ji Lingchen shook his head, picked up the menu, and said, “Fang Xiaonuan, stop playing. Quickly, come and order.”
