47 I Can Do I (1/2)

The business for lunchtime had finished and it was too early for dinner. Ye Jiayao decided to go back to the motel and book the accommodation during this spare time.

Manager Li was such a great man and gave her almost one silver coin as a subsidy for accommodation. She was glad because it saved her a lot of money.

After Ye Jiayao stepped out, Helian Jing and Zhao Qixuan rode to the restaurant on the back of their respective horses.

Zhao Qixuan got off his horse first and handed his horsewhip to the greeting bellboy.

”Helian Jing, come down!”

Helian Jing said, ”I'm not hungry. Just what you want to eat so we can leave.”

”No, no! I can mistreat anyone but not the Young Royal Highness. Hurry, come down, come down,” Zhao Qixuan hastened.

Helian Jing reluctantly got off the horse.

”I heard that chef Niu was snatched by Xiang Yi restaurant. I don't know what can this new chef do, but no matter, I personally like to taste new things,” Zhao Qixuan said, patting Helian Jing's shoulder.

Helian Jing moved out of his reach. ”Take your hand off me. I don't want people to think we have sort of connection.”

Helian Jing didn't like to spend time with this guy because he has a bad reputation. However, he had something to ask of him, so he had no choice but to deal with him.

Zhao Qixuan cut him a cold look. ”You are just an overgrown child. I am not interested. I have such strong relationship with my little Su and our love is deeper than the sea. I would never cheat on him.”

Helian Jing shivered in repulsion. The talk of love between two men was so shameless, he could not bear it.

”If you shift your love to another person, Su's family would play fireworks to celebrate,” Helian Jing sneered.

Zhao Qixuan sighed and looked up melancholically. ”People in this world don't understand what true love is.”

Helian Jing's almost bit his tongue off in an effort not to say anything. True love my ass! You are the same as a gangster who kidnaps civilians. Mr. Su doesn't even like you.

The two royals walked into the restaurant, talking about business. Manager Qian heard that the heir-son lord of Yong An and Jing Young Royal Highness were here. He nervously ran out to welcome them, desperately trying not to wet his pants despite his anxiousness.

”Heir-son Lord and Young Royal Highness, welcome. Come upstairs to take a seat.”

Zhao Qixuan waved him away and sat down on a random chair in the hall. ”I want to get a few dishes. Bring the menu over and let Young Royal Highness order.”

”Right this instant!” Manager Qian asked the staff to bring the menu and he personally held it up for the two royals.

”Helian Jing, order whatever you want.” Zhao Qixuan had a bad reputation for harassing pretty men. However, he has his strengths. He was a generous man and he has a warm heart. He also knew how to do business, thus further extending his riches. All of the good and bad sides of his reputation made him popular in the capital city.

Helian Jing browsed at the plain dish names and couldn't stop thinking of big Raorao's menu. If this menu was made by big Raorao, she might change 'Mandarin Duck Snowflake 'Roll' into 'Envy the Mandarin Ducks but not Gods', and change 'Steamed Mixed Stew' into ”Happiness Overload”. Playing to the gallery was big Raorao's specialty.

”I don't want anything else, just add a Double Taste Duck Roll and Lotus Wrapped Chicken.” Helian Jing folded the menu and returned it to manager Qian.

Zhao Qixuan raised his eyebrows and protested, ”That is too little. Manager Qian, add Carp Leap Over Dragon Gate and Sandalwood Fan Duck Feet.”

Manager Qian wrote the orders down, grinning widely. ”Heir-son Lord, what else do you need?”

Zhao Qixuan said, ”Just these for now. I will add more if it is not enough. Ah, Manager Qian, I heard Chef Niu left. Who is your new chef now?”

Manager Qian had a glint in his eyes as he said conspiratorily, ”We hired a chef from another city. He will take over tonight's cooking. Heir-son Lord, you'd be the first to taste the new chef's dishes.”

”I love tasting new things. You tell him that if I am satisfied with the dinner, I will reward him.” Zhao Qixuan was interested.

Manager Qian added, ”Not to brag, and if anyone asks, this didn't come from me, but our new chef is definitely better than master chef Niu.”

”Better than master Chef Niu? Manager Qian, don't bluff!” Zhao Qixuan was curious. Master Chef Niu was one of the best chefs in Jin Ling. Xiang Yi Restaurant wouldn't have paid such a high price to poach him, otherwise.

”I won't say such things in front of Heir-son Lord, that's a disgrace. You can decide for yourself, Heir-son Lord, once you taste the food,” Manager Qian said proudly.

As soon as the manager left with their orders, Helian Jing turned to Zhao Qixuan and said earnestly, ”Qixuan, I have to go back. I have some matters to attend to in the mansion. I will come back at night.”

”Don't go yet. What business do you have? You don't have a title nor any responsibility, you have no power over businesses in the mansion.” Zhao Qixuan stood up and grabbed his arm, dragging him out of the restaurant. ”Come with me to the lake. I have prepared a gaily-painted pleasure-boat. I also invited new head brand of Changchun attic who could play Pipa well. Let's go to the lake and listen to music together.”

”Aye! Stop dragging me! I can walk by myself!”

”Well, you're a slowpoke.”

”Don't call me a slowpoke!”

The two royals people pulled and pushed each other as they walked out of the restaurant.
