Chapter 72 - Do You Have A Death Wish (2/2)

Nan Zhi did not leave in anger but calmed herself down before she headed to the room. She had to treat Alvis to a meal anyway. Of course, it had also somehow become a disguised invitation to that foul-tempered man. She hoped he would spare her and let things be after this meal.

Nan Zhi knocked lightly and entered the room. Alvis was talking to that foul-tempered man. The man with the foul temper looked a little impatient, but Alvis kept smiling.

Nan Zhi was secretly shocked.

Who exactly was Young Master Mu? If he was only a businessman, and even if he was very rich, he could not make Alvis, who had connections with the royal family, smile so obsequiously!

When he saw Nan Zhi coming in, Alvis stood up immediately. “Miss Nan, I’m thrilled that the dress suits you so well. You look better in this dress than the princess consort.”

The corners of Nan Zhi’s mouth twitched. “Alvis you’re flattering me. I’m just a commoner and could never be compared to the princess consort.”

Before Alvis could say anything, Nan Zhi heard the bad-tempered young master gave a snort.

Tsch . Nan Zhi pursed her lips, thinking that she better not say anything in case she provoked the arrogant young master.

“Alvis, have you ordered yet?”

“Not yet.”

Nan Zhi immediately called the waiter.

The waiter brought the menu over and Nan Zhi handed it to Alvis. “Please order first!”

Alvis wanted to pa.s.s the menu to Mu Sihan, who simply leaned back in his chair, a dark smirk on his lips. “Just order since she’s asked you to.”

Alvis looked at the man with the ominous expression, then turned to look at the girl with the smile on her face. He could not figure out the relations.h.i.+p between the two.

They were like a pair of polar opposites.

One was bad-tempered and not easy to get along with.

The other was elegant and refres.h.i.+ng like a cool spring breeze .

Alvis ordered two moderately-priced dishes. He then pa.s.sed the menu to Mu Sihan who did not take it, but remarked instead, “This restaurant’s Lion’s Mane Mushroom, Shark’s Fin, Bear Paw and Bird’s Nest are best known as the chef’s four signature dishes. They are rather valuable and only this restaurant in Ning City has them.”

The man then proceeded to order another seven to eight delicacies with extravagant-sounding names that sounded extremely expensive and rare to Nan Zhi. He finished with two bottles of red wine with prices that were above a hundred thousand dollars.

Nan Zhi calculated silently in her head, five hundred thousand dollars would not be enough for this meal.
