The place where Zheng Zhidong invited his guests to dinner was a courtyard house with a very secret address. The chef here was very skilled in cooking. I heard that their family had once produced an imperial chef.
In Xie Zheng’s previous life, he brought Wang Cuilan here to eat. Well, the food was indeed delicious!
Especially the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall here, the taste is simply amazing.
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Wang Cuilan and her husband went out to eat without their three children. They sneaked out and when they arrived, Zheng Zhidong was already waiting there.
Wang Cuilan felt a little embarrassed. Zheng Zhidong saw what she was thinking and smiled gently. He stood up and said, "You are here, please sit down."
While inviting them to sit down, he asked, "Why didn't you bring your three children? And Cuixiang, doesn't she always like to eat delicious food? Why didn't you come this time?"
After Wang Cuilan sat down, she explained, "The three children are still young and like to make noises. If we bring them here, I'm worried that we won't be able to have a good meal, so I didn't bring them along."
"As for Xiangxiang? She and Mingwu went out to see a movie and will have lunch outside!"
Zheng Zhidong nodded, indicating that he understood the situation, and then said to Wang Cuilan and the others, "There are many people eating here, and the line is very long. I was afraid that you have things to do in the afternoon and it would delay your time, so I took the initiative to order the dishes first. I hope you don't mind."
Wang Cuilan waved her hand, and Xie Zheng also said, "I don't mind!"
Among the three, except Wang Cuilan, the other two men were not talkative. However, Xie Zheng wanted to find out what Zheng Zhidong was thinking, so there was no dull moment in the conversation and the two men had a pretty good chat.
The dishes were served quickly, including braised pork, stir-fried pork with green peppers, sweet and sour fish, and chicken stewed with mushrooms...all of them were classics, and the most important thing was that there was even Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
Wang Cuilan enjoyed the meal very much. When the last few people left and passed by the next table and were almost bumped into, it did not affect her good mood.
He just smiled and asked the visitor to be careful.
The person who came, Xiaojiu, apologized sincerely and was then called away by his friends. They were all young people in their teens or twenties, very energetic. Even from a distance, Wang Cuilan could hear their voices behind her.
"Xiaojiu, weren't you supposed to accompany your brother on a blind date today and not come out to dinner with us? Why are you here now? What's the matter? Did you think after careful consideration that you couldn't bear to leave us and stood your brother up?"
"Come on, you don't know Xiaojiu yet. She's a big brother complex! How could she possibly stand her brother up for us? In my opinion, something must have happened with her brother's blind date, so they canceled the blind date at the last minute. Am I right, Xiaojiu?"
The girl named Xiaojiu rolled her eyes at her friend and said, "You are the only one who knows more!"
"Oh, that's exactly what I said. Tell us what's going on!"
"What's going on? It's just that the girl my brother was dating has a crush on someone else. And she's a bad person. She knows the guy she likes is already married, but she still refuses to give up and even plans to drive away the other guy's wife and take her place!"
"Unfortunately, her plan was overheard by the man's wife and sister, who then made a big fuss about it! Her family was afraid that if the news got out, it would affect her reputation, so they couldn't wait to arrange a blind date with her, hoping to marry her off before the news got out..."
The sound behind her continued, but Wang Cuilan could no longer hear it.
At the crossroads, Wang Cuilan separated from Zheng Zhidong and asked Xie Zheng, "Shall we go back now?"
Xie Zheng shook his head and took out two movie tickets from his pocket. "Let's go to the movies."
Seeing Wang Cuilan's obviously surprised look, Xie Zheng pursed his lips and said, "The last time we watched a movie together, I had to leave early because of a mission. Didn't I promise you then that if I had the chance in the future, I would definitely watch that movie with you again?"
Wang Cuilan was speechless: "That was so many years ago, almost two years ago, right? You're really something when you're only fulfilling your promise now, which you made two years ago!"
A trace of guilt flashed across Xie Zheng's face, "Sorry!"
In this regard, he was indeed sorry for his wife. He had been away for a year, and after coming back, he forgot what he had promised his wife because he had three more children.
This time, if he hadn't heard his future brother-in-law Zhou Mingwu talking about taking his sister-in-law to the movies, he wouldn't have thought of this matter. This is really wrong!
Compared with Xie Zheng in her previous life, Wang Cuilan is extremely satisfied with Xie Zheng in this life, but she will not show it, so as to avoid making the man complacent.
So she snorted and said rather arrogantly, "It's good that you know you're sorry. You better treat me better in the future!"
The man chuckled and nodded, "Okay!"
