Chapter 215 Are you a rabbit?
Tang Yutong followed Chu Ci into Yu Shi Xuan, her high heels making crisp sounds on the marble floor.
She secretly looked around the elegantly decorated restaurant. The light reflected from the crystal chandelier cast fine shadows on Chu Ci's well-defined profile.
"Mr. Chu, you are here."
The waitress in cheongsam came up to him with a smile, obviously very familiar with him.
Chu Ci nodded slightly: "Open a private room."
"Okay, please wait."
The waiter walked quickly to the front desk and quickly led them up to the second floor.
Inside the box, the sandalwood round table was covered with a simple embroidered tablecloth.
The waiter respectfully handed over the menu. Chu Ci tapped the menu lightly with his slender fingers, a faint smile on his lips:
"Let her order."
The waiter then handed the menu to Tang Yutong. Tang Yutong did not refuse and started to order dishes directly. However, when she saw that a stir-fried vegetable dish cost 188, she was stunned. What the hell cost 188?
Her fingers trembled slightly as she continued to flip through the pages. The price of each meat dish made her gasp.
Braised Lion's Head 888, Steamed Grouper 1688......
She continued to look behind, and any meat dish cost thousands. She glanced at Chu Ci and seriously suspected that this guy did it on purpose.
“Ahem…”
Tang Yutong cleared her throat and moved her fingertips back and forth across the vegetarian dishes:
“Stir-fried asparagus, baby cabbage in soup, and stewed tofu with matsutake mushrooms…”
Chu Ci's bony fingers suddenly pressed on the menu and raised an eyebrow.
"Are you born in the Year of the Rabbit?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his deliberately lowered voice.
"I didn't see you being so healthy last night when we were eating chicken wings at the barbecue restaurant."
Tang Yutong's ears felt hot, and she forced herself to explain:
"You have to change your taste occasionally. You can't just eat meat all the time."
"Oh? Then shouldn't the host consider the guests' tastes?"
He tapped the shiny braised pork in the picture with his fingertips and said with a smile:
"Like this?"
Tang Yutong looked at the four-digit price tag and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying:
"You...you are welcome to do as you please."
Chu Ci was indeed not polite. He ordered five signature dishes in a row, all of which cost thousands of yuan. Tang Yutong said with a forced smile:
"Can you finish this much?"
“I can’t finish it.”
Chu Ci replied as a matter of course, then looked at Tang Yutong and said:
"You're a big eater, aren't you? I believe you."
Tang Yutong: ...
The waiter watched from the side, not daring to say a word, but still secretly glanced at Tang Yutong.
Then Chu Ci continued to add:
"Another dozen cold beers and two bottles of Moutai."
He turned to look at Tang Yutong, his eyes flashing with the light of a successful prank.
"Don't worry, you can save it if you can't finish it."
After taking the order, the waiter left, and Tang Yutong and Chu Ci sat together and chatted.
Tang Yutong said apologetically, "Boss Chu, I'm really sorry for what happened today. I didn't expect my phone to suddenly break down, and I kept you waiting for so long. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay. This isn't your fault."
Tang Yutong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, and the next second Chu Ci continued:
"When the wine is served, just drink three glasses as punishment."
Tang Yutong's expression changed instantly. Was he waiting for her here?
"Boss Chu, where has your gentlemanly demeanor gone?"
"It was lost at Jinshi Huatang."
Chu Ci was very serious when he said this, and it didn't sound like he was joking at all. Tang Yutong was so shocked by him that she couldn't say a word.
After all, it was she who broke the promise first, so she couldn't blame Chu Ci for taking revenge on her like this.
"Okay, I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment."
After the waiter left, the box fell into silence for a moment.
Tang Yutong tapped the bone china teacup lightly with her fingertips, stole a glance at Chu Ci who was calm and composed across from her, and decided to take the initiative to break the silence.
She leaned forward slightly, her amber eyes filled with apology.
"Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry about what happened today. I didn't expect my phone to suddenly have problems and kept you waiting for so long..."
Chu Ci took a sip of tea slowly, his thin lips leaving a faint water mark on the rim of the cup.
When he put down the teacup, Tang Yutong noticed that his slender fingers shone with a cold white luster under the light.
"Don't blame yourself. This is not your fault."
His tone was calm, but when Tang Yutong was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly changed the subject.
"When the wine comes, just drink three glasses as punishment."
Tang Yutong: ???
Tang Yutong's eyes widened and the teacup in her hand almost fell over. She looked at Chu Ci's half-smile and finally confirmed that this man was deliberately making things difficult for her.
She bit her back teeth and forced a fake smile:
"Boss Chu, where is your gentlemanly demeanor?"
Chu Ci calmly adjusted his cuffs, revealing a valuable Patek Philippe on his wrist:
"It was lost at Jinshi Huatang."
When he raised his eyes, his thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.
"After all, someone stood me up."
Tang Yutong was speechless, like a deflated ball. She sighed resignedly:
"Okay, I'll drink it later."
At this time, the waiter pushed the food cart in. Tang Yutong originally thought that she would see exquisite plating and small portions, but she didn't expect that what was served were blue and white porcelain plates with a diameter of 30 centimeters, and each dish was piled as high as a small mountain.
The steamed grouper is as long as an adult man's forearm, and the braised pork is as thick as a dictionary.
Tang Yutong was so shocked that her chopsticks dropped on the table. What kind of restaurant would give such a portion? Why did she suddenly feel that this was worth the money?
But looking at the dozen or so dishes on the table, Tang Yutong couldn't smile anymore. After the waiter left, Tang Yutong looked at Chu Ci and said:
"This... Mr. Chu often comes to this store?"
"Well, the boss is my friend."
Chu Ci had already picked up a piece of abalone elegantly, completely ignoring her shock.
"Then... does Mr. Chu have other guests today?" Tang Yutong asked persistently.
"Just the two of us."
Chu Ci finally looked up at her, not knowing what Tang Yutong was going to say.
The next second, Tang Yutong couldn't hold it anymore and looked at Chu Ci and said:
"If Mr. Chu wants to rip me off, just say so. There's no need to waste food."
Chu Ci paused, then suddenly pointed at the table full of dishes as if he had suddenly realized something:
"You're talking about this. When I came here before, they didn't have such a large portion. Maybe the waitress heard that you can eat so much, so she asked the kitchen to make some extra. Don't worry, she definitely won't charge you more."
Tang Yutong felt her temples throbbing. So this portion was prepared for her? Did they treat her like a pig?
She looked at Chu Ci's innocent expression and finally confirmed that this man was taking revenge on her. The most infuriating thing was that he even took revenge in such a way that was... impeccable.
Tang Yutong was really speechless. Wu Yu's mother opened the door for Wu Yu. Wu Yu had arrived home...
What else could she say? The waiter had been so kind as to give her an extra portion, so she couldn't possibly scold him, could she?
She picked up the Maotai with a forced smile:
"Boss Chu, I've let you down today. I'll drink three cups myself."
He poured himself a full cup.
"I'll drink this cup, you can do whatever you want."
Chu Ci raised an eyebrow as he watched Tang Yutong finish the glass of wine without blinking. The corner of his mouth twitched. Didn't she say yesterday that she couldn't drink? Is this what she meant by not being able to drink?
