Chapter 127 (2/2)

“So here you are. Let’s go,” Taking his briefcase, he revealed slight impatience in his tone but still waited earnestly until her daughter got on the car.

After turning his head and taking a look, the father said in a harsh tone, “Fasten the seatbelt.”

“Humm,” the softness on the young girl’s face likewise vanished as she answered indifferently.

“Where are we going for dinner?” after starting the engine, he looked at his daughter’s pale face and said impatiently.

“No.14 of Taoxi Road. I heard the dishes there are quite appetizing,” the young girl made a faint smile and gave a rare compliment.

“Are they as tasty as those cooked by your mom?” the man said casually.

Once the words were uttered, the two people instantly fell into absolute silence. The young girl’s face immediately turned pale and the man also frowned regretfully, yet didn’t say anything.

They remained silent all along the journey and soon got to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. It was still early and there weren’t many people lining up at the entrance. The man carefully located the nearest parking space and parked the car there.

“Ka Da,” the young girl opened the door and then said, “This restaurant serves mum’s favorite dish, the Phoenix-Tail Prawns.”

Then she walked forward with a limp without turning her head.

While frowning, the man took the briefcase and locked the door before catching up and waiting in line quietly with her daughter.

Five minutes later, the man suddenly said, “Let me wait here alone and you go and wait inside the car.”

“No need,” the young girl refused decisively.

“Even if you stand here, you still have to wait.” The man frowned discontentedly.

“Even if I am in the car, I’m still waiting,” the young girl answered stubbornly.

“You are always disobedient,” the man blurted out.

“Maybe,” the young girl said, being reluctant to show any weakness.

“An unfilial daughter…” the man seemed to be so angry that he stopped saying anything.

With her back straightened, the young girl stood in front as if taking no notice of her angry father.

Fortunately, they didn’t wait for long for their turn.

Coincidently, facing the kitchen were two vacant seats. They went up and got seated.

“Boss, give me the menu,” the man said rudely.

“It’s on the wall,” Yuan Zhou coldly pointed to the wall. To such an apparently picky tone, Yuan Zhou didn’t really mind but his manner of speaking became even colder.

“It doesn’t have even a menu,” the man frowned disappointedly but when he saw his daughter at the side, he reined in his temper and looked back at the price list.

“Though the price is definitely five-star level, it’s just that whether his culinary skills can match up to it.” The man’s tone was full of suspicion.

Without preparing to explain anything, Yuan Zhou remained standing where he had been and didn’t give any further reaction.

The girl, nevertheless, felt a little ashamed of her father being constantly picky.

“Boss, please offer us one serving of Phoenix-Tail Prawns and two Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set,” the young girl ordered the dishes.

“Ok, it’s up to you,” the man didn’t object to the dishes ordered by his daughter.

It was merely that the atmosphere between the two persons was quite odd. They didn’t talk to each other.

The man was taking his phone and busying himself with his work issues while his daughter stared at something blankly although she was holding her phone.

After only a little while, Yuan Zhou got the two bowls of the Clear Broth Noodle Soup and one serving of Phoenix-Tail Prawns ready.

“Noodle Soup and Phoenix-Tail Prawns for you two. Please enjoy,” Yuan Zhou carried the dishes to them with courtesy.

“Thank you,” the young girl received the noodle soup and quickly took a bite expectantly. The taste was truly superb. Even the pale color on her face faded away after that bite.

At this time, the man raised his head, “Wei Wei, I have an emergency in the company and I have to go to deal with it.”

While speaking, he got ready to leave. It was then the young girl’s face revealed a ‘just as I thought’ expression. She lowered her head and said nothing. At that moment, Yuan Zhou chimed in and said something.
