After Ning Lang returned, she comforted the little guy and told him to stay and recover before leaving with Sheng Xuan.
Sheng Xuan started the car and asked, "Where do we want to eat? What do you want to eat?"
Ning Lang frowned slightly: "I don't have much of an appetite. I'll just cook something simple when I get home. You can take me back."
"People with low blood sugar can't fast for too long, nor can they go hungry!" Sheng Xuan said irritably, "Are you trying to faint again?! There's a hot pot restaurant over there, let's have hot pot!"
Ning Lang is usually not picky about food and will eat whatever is available, but this time he was surprisingly picky.
"It's already late, the fresh meat is no longer fresh, it has a fishy smell when it's put on the table, it's disgusting. The hot pot broth is either spicy or mild, I don't like it too spicy, and the mild broth can't compare to the one I make myself."
Sheng Xuan drove off on his own, saying, "It's so late. If I take you to the outskirts, I'll be starving by the time you manage to whip up something to eat! Let's eat something here first. I'll have the meat, and you can have the vegetables. Is that alright?"
He had read it carefully earlier and found that people with low blood sugar should not fast for too long, otherwise they are prone to palpitations, cold sweats, and heart palpitations.
In addition, try to carry some sugar or small desserts with you to replenish your sugar intake from time to time.
He has always been domineering, and once he decides what to do, he does it. The SUV quickly stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant.
The two sat facing each other in the small private room.
Ning Lang ordered four kinds of vegetables plus potatoes, and also wanted an extra serving of bitter melon.
Sheng Xuan ordered two plates of beef and one plate of mutton, as well as some seafood.
The waiter enthusiastically solicited business, asking, "Why don't you two try our newly launched 'Couple's Set Meal'? It includes everything you just ordered, plus an extra small glutinous rice cake dessert and two drinks."
Ning Lang's eyes flickered slightly. "Desserts are unnecessary."
"How dare someone who's sugar-deficient refuse something sweet?" Sheng Xuan glared at her reproachfully, then turned to the waiter and said, "This set meal is fine! Give me all the drinks, and she can have the dessert."
"Okay." The waiter smiled and tidied up the menu, whispering, "Sir, you are such a model boyfriend! Some men are afraid that their girlfriends will gain weight, so they won't order anything sweet for them."
Ning Lang smiled leisurely and glanced at Sheng Xuan opposite him.
“He’s not my boyfriend, so I’m not afraid.”
The waiter paused for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh.
Sheng Xuan, who was standing to the side, sipped his water and sneered, "Who said I'm not afraid of you getting fat? If you faint from low blood sugar again next time, I won't be able to carry you!"
The waiter smiled and said, "So you're a young couple. No wonder you look so much like a married couple!" He then took the menu and left.
Ning Lang: "..."
Sheng Xuan: "..."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. His eyes darted around, pretending to look at the interior design of the private room.
Ning Lang was more composed than him, calmly scrolling through his phone, and asked, "I heard you met with a big client yesterday, what kind of client?"
"Oh!" Sheng Xuan replied, "It's an order from XX Cosmetics, a skin-firming and anti-wrinkle series. The proposals for both orders were approved the day before yesterday, the cast was finalized yesterday, and filming will begin in a few days."
His ads are always wildly imaginative and unconventional. She wasn't a professional, didn't know much, and just wanted to wait to collect the money.
Sheng Xuan raised an eyebrow and explained, "We started making a profit at the end of last month. After those two small ads were approved, the remaining payment was disbursed half a month later."
Ning Lang smiled slightly and said, "Finally, I can collect some money."
"You'll be counting money until your hands are sore!" Sheng Xuan mocked, "You money-grubber! You won't be shortchanged a single penny!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter from before brought in several plates of fresh meat.
Ning Lang stepped back a little, frowned, and covered her nose.
Sheng Xuan quickly shouted, "Put them all over here, she hates the smell of fish! Don't let it bother her!"
As the waiter placed the plates on the table, he asked with a smile, "Is your wife pregnant? Many pregnant women experience nausea."
Forehead?!
