31 Chapter 31 Childlike Smile (2/2)
Being immersed in this rich cultural atmosphere was a good way to gain new perspective.
It may not be the first time that Harry had visited here, because the general manager of the restaurant ordered several dishes of specialty for them.
The chef there was a 60-year-old expert on pastries and staples, who had won many awards.
Normally, guests should make a reservation to enjoy the chef's delicacies, while Harry had the privilege of come-and-order at any time.
All dishes ordered were served in no time. Rather than using valuable and rare food materials, they were local specialities that would just provoke the appetite, including the cold dishes - Luoyang Chinese Artichoke with Spicy Sauce and Shaoxing Wined Chicken, hot dishes - Steamed Mandarin Fish and Bean Vermicelli and Baby Chinese Cabbage with Garlic and staples - Wide Noodles with Sour Soup, Chinese Scallion Pancake and rice.
Lola became appetitive that her whole mind was enjoying the meal then.
Harry turned the mandarin fish over, picked up a piece of fish, dipped it into the soy sauce of steamed fish, and put it into Lola's bowl.
His consideration delighted Lola further. With the handsome man, delicious food and beautiful room, she was rather full because of being not moderate in eating.
Rubbing her full belly, Lola whined, ”I'm stuffed! It will be hard to fall asleep later!”
Harry looked at his funny, lovely wife and said, ”I can do sports with you to help you digest.” There seemed to be an overtone in his remarks.
Lola doubted that she may think too much and shook her head, ”I will go out for a walk later.”
After the manager served a dish of artistically cut-up fruit, Lola could not refrain from eating some pieces of mango and dragon fruit.
”What else would you like to eat?” Harry was perfectly satisfied when he saw Lola was full and happy.
”No. It is enough.” Lola instantly waved her hands as she would be too stuffed to move if she indulged her taste buds.
To help her digest, Harry asked an experienced guide to show them around the two stories of Yuluo Pavilion.
From stone lion of the Ming Dynasty to modern calligraphy works, paintings and rare stones, it really collected a great many art curiosities. Lola learned a lot of historical knowledge there. Harry bought a famous contemporary painter's hanging painting of stone before leaving.
After arriving home, Lola took a comfortable bath. When she was about to go to bed, she found that Harry was not in the room with her. She opened the door and looked toward the study, whose door was not closed. Harry was right there, working with his computer.
He presided over such a large group with a number of businesses she didn't even know. No doubt that he was busy every day. How hard working he was! Was she supposed to do something for him?
After thinking for a while, she went downstairs quietly to the kitchen. From the refrigerator, which was full of food, she took out a bottle of milk. She then poured a glass of milk, heated it and brought it to the study.
Noticing Lola in her nightdress coming up with a glass of milk, Harry, who was typing quickly, stopped.
”Hey umm. I am going to sleep. You've been working hard all day. Please have some milk and go to rest.” As his naughty and lovely wife seldom considered him thoughtfully, Harry was left blank-minded for a moment and even forgot to reach for it.
After a long while, not having the slightest idea of why he didn't give her any response, Lola gave up waiting and decided to drink the milk herself.
”Wait!” Harry stood up to fetch the milk and drank it off in one gulp.
Seeing the empty glass, Lola grinned. When she was about to put the glass downstairs, a strong force pulled her back.
