Chapter 90 Looks Familiar
Su Man took the painting, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and left the exhibition hall smoothly.
Su Man finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the hotel where she was staying temporarily in Qu City.
This time, Ding Chengyu and his grandson helped her so much, she owed them a big favor. If she had the chance in the future, she would definitely treat Ding Chengyu to a meal.
Especially Mr. Yun Guhong, because of helping her, he might have offended Tao Jinmei.
Speaking of Tao Jinmei...
Su Man sighed secretly again.
How could it be such a coincidence that the passerby she helped was Xiao Beisheng's mother?
She and Xiao Beisheng had such a grand wedding, but she hadn't even met Xiao Beisheng's mother. And it happened to be today. And what a coincidence, both of them asked for Yun Guhong's paintings to celebrate Old Madam Xiao's birthday.
Isn't this making her steal the credit from her mother-in-law?
Not long after getting married, she already made the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law strained. This is not Su Man's usual style.
Although there is a high possibility that she will be kicked out by Xiao Beisheng again, before that, Su Man also hopes to stay in peace in the Xiao family.
She asked a courier to pick up the package at home. She carefully packed the picture frame with several layers inside and out and filled in Dilanyuan as the address. The courier was safer than her personal transportation, so she didn't have to worry.
After sending the express delivery, she was completely relieved and opened the ticket booking software to check the high-speed rail tickets back to Haicheng tomorrow morning.
As soon as I opened the ticket booking software, Xiao Beisheng called:
"Where?"
When a deep male voice came, Su Man secretly said "Oh no".
She came to Qu City to ask for a painting, but forgot to tell Xiao Beisheng.
"I forgot to mention it. I'm going to Qu City for two days. What's wrong?"
The other end hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just got home and didn't see you around, so I asked."
"You're home? How come so soon? I thought when you said next week, you meant it would take a few more days..."
For some reason, Su Man felt a little guilty.
She also felt confused.
Xiao Beisheng didn't say anything for several seconds, and Su Man's heart was getting more and more anxious.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Thinking about you being alone at home, I wanted to go back early."
Su Man felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry. I thought it wasn't a big deal since I was only here for two days, so I didn't think to tell you."
"No matter how big or small the wife's affairs are, they are not trivial matters."
Su Man shuddered and covered her chest with her hands.
Recently, my heart has been agitated by Xiao Beisheng.
How can he flirt with others without realizing it?
"Sorry." She said weakly.
"When do you plan to come back?"
"Everything is done. I originally booked a high-speed train for tomorrow, but since you're going home, I'll change it to tonight." She booked a ticket for tomorrow because she was tired from running around for Yun Guhong's paintings these days and wanted to rest for a night.
Xiao Beisheng said, "No, it's not safe to travel at night. It will be the same if we set out tomorrow."
After he said that, Su Man breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried.
"Will Mr. Xiao be unhappy?"
“No. It’s just that I brought some gifts and a bouquet of flowers for Mrs. Xiao, so you can’t see them right away.”
Su Man smiled, and his tone really sounded like he felt sorry for her.
"I'm sorry."
"Just a verbal apology? No substantial compensation? I worked overtime for two nights just to get home early."
His tone was smiling, teasing, and a little bit evil.
Like a hunter, he plays with his prey and may bare his fangs at any time to taste his delicious prey.
"Then I'll give you a bouquet of flowers too?"
"What kind of flowers do grown men need? Are you considered a flower? If it were you, it would be worth considering."
Some bad images inexplicably flashed through Su Man's mind... He had always been passionate about her in that matter.
She didn't know whether Xiao Beisheng's feelings for her were true or not, but Su Man could feel that he was indeed deeply obsessed with her body.
Su Man naturally thought of that incident, and it felt like tens of thousands of ants were crawling in her heart.
It feels numb and itchy.
Xiao Beisheng didn't let the topic fall to the ground, but immediately asked: "Have you had dinner?"
Su Man glanced at the time. It was only a quarter past four. "Not yet. Let's order takeout later."
"Leave it to me to arrange?"
"I'll leave it to you to arrange?" Su Man laughed, "How do you arrange it?"
"Send me your specific location. I remember there should be quite a few famous restaurants in Qu City. Locals love to eat there. I'll order it and have it delivered to your door."
"Very good, then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Xiao."
The man chuckled twice and said, "I will definitely live up to my mission."
After hanging up the phone, Su Man took a nap. At exactly six o'clock, a phone call woke her up from her dream.
"Hello, Mrs. Xiao. We are Zhizhen Restaurant. The set meal Mr. Xiao ordered for you has been delivered downstairs in the hotel. Would you like to dine in the restaurant or in your room? Mr. Xiao has booked a private room for you in the hotel restaurant, considering that you might want to go to the restaurant."
In fact, Su Man wanted to eat directly in the room, but she suddenly thought of something and asked, "If I don't go to the restaurant, will the private room I book also cost money?"
"Yes, ma'am. Whether you go or not, the private room will be reserved for you. But Mr. Xiao said that you can do whatever you want."
"I understand. Please send me the room number of the private room."
"Yes, ma'am."
Su Man did not come from a wealthy family, so she still felt that wasting money was a sin.
She simply washed and tidied herself up before going out to the restaurant downstairs.
Found room number 4168.
The private room was spacious and clean. Incense had been lit for the guests, fresh flowers sprinkled with water were placed on the table, and fresh tea and fruit plates and snacks had also been served.
If she doesn't come, these will be left there and will have to be replaced with new ones when the next guest comes, which is a waste.
Su Man pulled out a chair and sat down. She was alone facing a large round table and still felt a little lonely.
When the waiter saw her come in, he notified the kitchen to serve the food. As soon as Su Man sat down, people brought the dishes one after another, filling up the table.
Xiao Beisheng has always been generous with his money and doesn't care whether she can finish it or not.
When Su Man thought the dishes had been served, the waiter walked up behind her and said, "Mrs. Xiao, the kitchen has one last dish. It's the hotel's special dish today. Mr. Xiao asked you to try that dish first."
"Special dishes? Okay, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome, ma'am."
The waiter left, and soon a man in a hotel chef's uniform brought the dishes up.
It is quite rare to see a chef delivering dishes personally, so Su Man couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The man was tall and had long legs, looking handsome and upright. He was probably wearing a mask because he was cooking, but just a glance at his eyes and eyebrows told you that he had an outstanding appearance.
Su Man secretly thought, are all chefs nowadays so handsome?
The "special dish" was placed in front of Su Man. When Su Man saw it, she was stunned.
Special dishes...
Just a bowl of noodles?
"Ma'am, please enjoy your meal." The man said in a deliberately low voice.
Su Man felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, like Xiao Beisheng's voice, but she quickly denied her doubts.
Xiao Beisheng returned to Haicheng, how could he appear in Qu City?
She missed Xiao Beisheng, so she had hallucinations and everyone looked like him?
She misses Xiao Beisheng? !
Su Man was shocked by this discovery.
She suppressed the palpitating feeling in her heart, quickly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of noodles, and put it into her mouth.
“Hmm…”
Su Man took only one bite and then frowned.
The handsome chef behind him was visibly nervous. "What's wrong? Does Madam think it's not tasty?"
