Chapter 293 Who has more face?
It took the two of them half an hour to prepare three dishes and one soup.
Liang Liangwei cooked the seasonal vegetables, while Yan Zhixu was in charge of controlling the heat of the other dishes.
After serving the soup and fish, they brought out bowls to serve rice and soup.
Liang Liangwei also cooked the dishes and brought them out.
The two took off their aprons and sat down facing each other.
Looking at the white and tender grouper on the platter, with tender green scallions spread on top, the hot oil released a fragrant aroma, and she couldn't help but lean closer to take a sniff.
Yan Zhixu used his chopsticks to pick up the tenderest piece of meat and put it in her bowl: "Is just the smell enough? Try it."
Liang Liangwei couldn't wait to try it.
The fish was as tender as she had imagined, and tasted just as good as the fish she usually ate at hotels.
She gave him a thumbs-up and praised him generously: "Delicious! You could be a chef at a hotel!"
He chuckled happily, his voice full of indulgence, "Okay, I'll ask around later to see which hotels have openings and apply."
The CEO of a prestigious multinational conglomerate applying for a chef position at a hotel is more than just a waste of talent.
Knowing he was just joking with her, Liang Liangwei covered her lips and smiled, her eyes crinkling.
She also drank the coconut chicken soup he made. The chicken pieces had been blanched twice beforehand, so there was almost no oiliness in the soup. It was garnished with red dates and goji berries and was very sweet.
She drank two bowls, and her stomach was bulging.
"So full~" She ate with great satisfaction, then patted her lower abdomen lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Yan Zhixu was still slowly eating the vegetables she had stir-fried, noticing her embarrassment, and smiled, "Go downstairs to digest in a bit."
Liang Liangwei rested her chin on her hand and looked at him: "Okay."
There was actually still some fish left, but he only picked up the unassuming green vegetables and ate them several times, which was quite considerate.
"Are the vegetables really that good?" she asked, puzzled. "Compared to the grouper, they're too ordinary. If you're not full yet, finish the fish first."
Yan Zhixu: "The fish was a bit fishy, so the vegetables helped to cut through the richness. It was a good and delicious dish."
Liang Liangwei asked suspiciously, "Does it smell fishy? I don't think so."
Yan Zhixu glanced at her and said, "If you don't think it's fishy, then you can finish it. I'll just eat the vegetables."
Liang Liangwei: "I want to, but I really can't eat anymore."
Yan Zhixu finished the last bite of vegetables, put down her chopsticks, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and leaned back: "Then let's just leave it."
After sitting for a while, Yan Zhixu suggested going downstairs for a walk.
Liang Liangwei put on her cotton-padded coat, grabbed her phone, and went down the elevator with the man.
It was very cold outside at night, so Yan Zhixu didn't take her to the first floor, but instead went to the second floor.
Liang Liangwei then realized that the second floor was actually a casual book cafe, essentially a place that offered reading, music, and coffee all in one.
The book cafe is very large and connects several apartment buildings in the surrounding area, allowing hundreds of residents to come directly from their homes.
That's not all; it also connects to a large shopping mall outside the community, allowing VIP cardholders to come in and spend money.
However, outside customers are not allowed to take the elevator into the apartment building, because the elevator requires a floor code to enter.
The book cafe was quite crowded, but not noisy. People sat in twos and threes chatting and browsing for books, with music playing softly. It was a very pleasant place.
Liang Liangwei browsed the bookstore and cafe with great interest for a while. When she saw that they also sold exquisite little trinkets, she couldn't help but pick out a few items.
Yan Zhixu patiently accompanied her. After she picked out the items and brought them to the counter, he went straight up, took out his phone, and scanned the code to pay after the cashier told him the price.
Liang Liangwei smiled at him and took the shopping bag from the cashier.
The cashier saw the two of them, paused for a moment, and then showed a shocked expression.
After they left together, he muttered to himself, "Weren't they that couple that were being hyped up online? They're actually together now..."
Passing by a bubble tea shop, Yan Zhixu tilted his head and asked his girlfriend, "Want a latte?"
Liang Liangwei frowned slightly: "You're still drinking coffee so late? Don't you want to sleep tonight? How about a fruit tea?"
Yan Zhixu chuckled, glancing down at her lower abdomen: "I thought you'd say you were too full to drink."
Liang Liangwei was a little embarrassed and gave him a reproachful look: "What flavor do you want?"
Yan Zhixu glanced at the table: "Lemon tea."
Liang Liangwei ordered at the counter: "One mango pomelo sago and one lemon tea."
"Thank you, 35 yuan."
Yan Zhixu paid the bill, and just then his phone rang. He turned around and glanced at it, gesturing to her, "I'll go answer this call."
Liang Liangwei nodded, and he turned and walked away.
He found an empty seat, looked up at his girlfriend not far away, and pressed the answer button.
"dad."
On the other end of the phone was Grandpa Yan: "Zhixu, you're back in China?"
Yan Zhixu: "Yes, I came back yesterday."
Grandpa Yan snorted, "You didn't even say goodbye before coming back. I was wondering how much longer you were going to stay abroad."
Yan Zhixu: "I said before that it would take at most ten days, no more than half a month, and even today it has not been half a month."
Old Master Yan paused for a moment and then asked, "Is everything going smoothly?"
Yan Zhixu: "It went smoothly. Everything was settled and I returned safely."
Grandpa Yan said meaningfully, "I saw the news. That 3500 billion was aimed at you, wasn't it?"
Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly: "Not entirely, the Indonesian government has more influence."
Who has more influence to get a country to endorse them?
The two understood each other implicitly, and their tone was pleasant.
Grandpa Yan smiled, then changed the subject, saying, "I spoke with your maternal grandfather on the phone a few days ago and we talked about you."
Yan Zhixu: "Yes, Grandpa mentioned it to me that day too."
Grandpa Yan: "So, what are your plans?"
Yan Zhixu: "What do you mean?"
Grandpa Yan clicked his tongue: "Playing dumb? Girlfriend, huh? When are you bringing her home to meet us?"
Yan Zhixu's gaze remained fixed on his girlfriend. He saw her take the bag from the milk tea shop clerk, glance over here, and then, seeing that he was still on the phone, point to the bookshelf on the other side and walk over.
He couldn't very well call out to her, so he could only watch her walk away.
"I've been very busy lately..."
Grandpa Yan said unhappily, "I knew you would use this excuse to keep dragging it out. Is there really such a girl? Or are you just fooling us old folks?"
Yan Zhixu chuckled helplessly, "I wasn't just flattering her. There really is such a girl, and I'm with her right now."
Grandpa Yan said domineeringly, "Then let the girl say something to me!"
Yan Zhixu couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't scare her."
Old Master Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Am I some kind of monster that could scare a young lady away?"
Yan Zhixu frowned and said, "How about next weekend? I promise to bring her back to see you, but I need to talk to her first before that."
Grandpa Yan: "You promised you wouldn't go back on your word?"
Yan Zhixu: "Yes, it's settled."
Grandpa Yan threatened, "If you break your promise, I'll talk to your maternal grandfather about introducing you to another girl. Even if you run away abroad, don't worry, your maternal grandmother will introduce you to someone overseas!"
