Chapter 164: A Good Material for an Actor
His casual tone was full of doting. Lai Meiwei's eyes were wide open, and when she looked at me, there was jealousy and envy, but no contempt.
The handsome waiter brought the food we ordered. It was said that what Xiao Shiqiu ordered were all the signature dishes of this restaurant.
After the standard appetizer, there was the sour cream grilled beef ribs, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Paired with rich sour cream, the grilled meat seemed less greasy and had a very special taste.
The staple food is piroshki, which is a traditional Russian delicacy. It is actually a kind of baked bun with fillings. It looks like ordinary bread, but the fillings are very rich.
I guess they stuffed it with all the ingredients they thought were delicious, like mushrooms, meat, cabbage, eggs, apples, raisins, etc., as well as some things I couldn't taste.
In comparison, I prefer the salmon coulibiac. The puff pastry wraps salmon, rice, mushrooms, eggs, onions and other ingredients. When you take a bite, the skin is crispy and the filling is tender. Salmon is delicious no matter how it is cooked.
As for the soup, between borscht and beetroot soup, I chose millet porridge with lobster tail, which is more suitable for Chinese babies. The golden and thick millet porridge with lobster meat was so delicious that I didn’t want to speak.
Compared to me who was eating with great concentration, Lai Meiwei was much more polite. She put down her knife and fork after taking only one or two bites of each dish.
Then she gracefully held the goblet and gently swirled it, looking at me with a sweet smile, "Miss Xia has a really good appetite, unlike me who gets full after just two bites. I'm so envious of you."
I swallowed the tender lobster meat and smiled sweetly at her: "Yes, I'm still growing, so there's no need to worry about gaining weight.
Unlike you celebrities, who are always worried about eating during the day and gaining weight at night, you have missed out on so many delicious foods."
Li Meiwei's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled even more charmingly: "Miss Xia is right, but as a woman, beauty always comes at a price."
"Fortunately, I'm still a girl." I laughed heartily.
Xiao Shiqiu's big hand covered mine, "As long as I'm here, you'll be a little girl forever."
His affectionate look made me think he was acting in an idol drama. He is indeed a good actor.
Lu Yuanqing also put down his knife and fork, probably because he was fed up with Xiao Shiqiu's dog food.
"You two have such a good relationship, it makes me want to fall in love. Haha, I wonder when Mr. Xiao plans to make it official?"
I felt a bit awkward. Xiao Shiqiu was still married to the public, so how could he possibly make it official? Could it be that Lu Yuanqing didn't know?
Lu Yuanqing showed his clear college student smile again, but I think he did it on purpose.
Everyone in the business circle of City A should know that Xiao Shiqiu has a wife and children. He asked this question obviously to embarrass us.
Sure enough, Li Meiwei's face changed slightly. As a shrewd person, she certainly knew that our relationship could not be talked about openly, but she did not expect Lu Yuanqing to ask directly.
But she soon smiled brightly and innocently, as if she was enjoying the show.
My previous feeling about Lu Yuanqing should be correct. He does seem to be hostile to us, or to be more precise, to Xiao Shiqiu, but why?
However, Xiao Shiqiu didn't care about Lu Yuanqing's words at all. He still smiled gently and said, "I won't make you wait too long. I will send you two invitations when the time comes."
I looked at him in surprise. What did he mean?
Is that what I meant?
Is this a scam for them or for me?
