Chapter 397: Oil Fried Chili

Complete darkness had already fallen in Chengdu at 8:30 p.m. The sky was strewed with stars and it was a little cold on the streets outside. Passers-by were all wearing a coat and scarf. In this high-end restaurant, however, it was as warm as spring.

Almost all ladies wore a one-piece dress and revealed their white arms while men wore a thin shirt with two buttons undone to reveal their uninhibited temperament.

Not everyone in the restaurant was handsome and beautiful, but they all looked decent. The most beautiful lady was the one seated at the second table along the window.

The lady was wearing a bright pink mid-sleeve one-piece dress today with a small part of her white arms revealed. Without anything on the well-balanced legs, her skin seemed to be even paler with a tinge of red in contrast to the hemlines of the bright pink dress

“Mr. Ling, what are your hobbies?” As soon as the lady spoke, she stared at Ling Hong with her watery eyes.

That’s right. It was Ling Hong that was seated across the table and facing this beautiful lady.

Just as said by Su Mu, Ling Hong was here for a blind date today. And he was forced to come here.

It was arranged by his mother personally. If he didn’t come, he would have to face his mother’s nagging later.

Therefore, Ling Hong still came obediently in the end after weighing the gains and losses.

“My hobbies cover many fields. I like all kinds of extreme sports. Of course, I also like delicious food.” Ling Hong undid a button, which made him appear more relaxed.

“You enjoy delicious foods. Then where do you usually go for meals and what delicious foods do you usually eat?” The lady asked without beating around the bush.

Actually, the lady was also reluctant to come. What a joke! Ling Hong was well-known for enjoying women and furthermore, he was a famous playboy. She was asking that now merely for being polite.

Five minutes ago, she went out and answered a phone call with the excuse of going to the bathroom.

The conversation was like this.

“Little Ding, what are the results of the investigation?” The voice of the lady sounded more relaxed, but still seemed gentle and melodious.

“Without a doubt, he likes luxury cars. Besides that, he just separated with his former girlfriend, or that may not even be considered to be his girlfriend… three days ago.” It was difficult to tell whether it was a male or female from the voice on the other side of the phone.

“So he’s another playboy.” The lady concluded quickly.

“Yes. You had better be careful.” The person instructed.

“Don’t worry. I won’t be taken in.” The lady said in an affirmative tone.

“That’s good.” After that, the person hung off the phone.

“It’s again a playboy.” The lady sighed and then went back to her seat. Then, this conversation occurred.

…

Having thought carefully for a while, Ling Hong said, “I ate steam buns this morning and Egg Fried Rice and Phoenix-Tail Prawns for lunch. Then here I am for dinner.”

“These dishes are not complicated at all. Mr. Ling seems to be very busy.” The lady stroked her hair smilingly.

“Not too much. There is only a little bit of work in my company today.” Ling Hong said courteously.

“Then what do you usually eat at normal times, Mr. Ling?” The lady continued asking.

“More or less the same to today. But I really like eating beef.” Ling Hong shrugged. He didn’t really care about the question.

“Mr. Ling, do you like the Kobe beef, Matsusaka beef or Ohmi beef?” All those that the lady reported were top-notch types of beef.

“None. I prefer to eat the Translucent Beef Slices.” Ling Hong shook his head. Thinking of the Translucent Beef Slices served in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, he felt like drooling.

“Do you eat these dishes every day, Mr. Ling?” The lady was a little surprised, but she didn’t say much. She just couldn’t help ridiculing inwardly.

The Translucent Beef Slices was merely a cold dish. How expensive would it be? And the quality of the beef used was also needless to say.

“This playboy seems to be so pitiful. He surprisingly eats such ordinary dishes. There isn’t anything wrong with Little Ding’s information, is there?” The lady thought inwardly, without turning a hair.

“The dishes are extremely great. Sometimes, I can’t even eat them when I’m busy.” Ling Hong knitted his brows and then said, “Just being able to eat a bowl of Clear Broth Noodle Soup would be quite satisfying already.”

After a slight pause, Ling Hong added, “With a Tea Egg and occasionally, a cup of watermelon juice.”

After all, the watermelon juice and Tea Eggs were all provided with limited quantities in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Rich people weren’t necessarily able to eat either of them.

The lady stared at Ling Hong for quite a while. When she found Ling Hong didn’t appear to be lying, she couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Ling, you are really living an austere life.”

To speak bluntly, she always ate French dishes when she was out on tour. Never had she expected Ling Hong to eat so simply even if he was wealthier than her. To make matters worse, he had even felt it satisfying to eat a Tea Egg with watermelon juice. It was known to all that women were ashamed of eating Tea Eggs.

“I haven’t seen such a man like you who holds back himself despite wealthy conditions.”
