Chapter 97 - Second Life Absorbed From Mia (1/2)

”How was your day?” Asked Jun Zixuan.

Yu Mei lowered her seat as she leaned back in a comfortable position, ”It was fine,” After all she did not bump into anyone from the Yu Family and there was no extended unnecessary drama for her, ”But I hate the food in the cafeteria.”

He stepped on the accelerator driving out of the place, ”Why?” He asked, glancing at her from the rearview mirror. He noticed how her face scrunched up in disgust and his lips slightly curved up.

''Not to mention that it wasn't good as the food made by you, it was also not edible to me,” She complained. She wasn't being picky but that sandwich really tasted weird and also smelled bad. She patted the man's shoulder, ”Feed me well in the future. I'll depend on you for that.”

The man chuckled.

”Is that a yes?” She smiled.

”Can I say no?” He raised an eyebrow.

''Of course…” She narrowed her eyes dangerously, ”You can't. Humph!” Who knows how long they will be staying together?

It was better to take a little advantage of him and eat more of the heavenly food made by Michelin Star Chef Jun Zixuan.

”Silly,” The man mumbled under his breath.

”En?” She glanced at him, ”Did you say something?”

”Are you hungry?”

Before she could say something, her stomach rumbled in protest. She shrugged, ''I guess I am.''

…

”What is this place?” Yu Mei glanced at the small restaurant in front of them. It was not like a hut but in comparison to the five-star restaurants, it appeared very small.

”Aren't you hungry? Let's go,'' he held her hand and dragged her inside the restaurant.

As they sat on a table in a silent corner, he placed the order while her gaze roamed around the place.

The place was small and there were many people inside making the space look congested but there was a cozy feeling in the air.

It didn't take long for the waiter to come back and serve the food. There was no over-the-top food, it was just a simple set of three to four dishes including rice, steamed dumplings, hot and sour soup, chicken, and broccoli.

After eating the sandwich in the cafeteria, she was not very eager to experiment with new food again.

”Try it,” said Jun Zixuan, noticing the hesitation on her face.

She pursed her lips before taking a bite of the dumpling. ''Mmm…” She licked her bottom lip, ”This is good.''

”It is,'' He nodded, noticing how she started stuffing her food without hesitation anymore.

Ren Mansion.

”The food was so satisfying.” She played with the tip of her braid as they walked upstairs, ”Do you often eat there?' She was surprised a rich guy like him would go to such places for lunch. It wasn't quite befitting of his status.

”I haven't gone there for years.”
