Chapter 346: The Best Food Hidden Secret
[Oh dear, I never thought I’d be such a jinx!]The tone was filled with annoyance, but there was a hint of gloating in the eyes, 007 sat on a small chair, [What are we gonna do, Your Majesty?]
’Ha, what to do?’ Bi Xia sipped his tea lightly, ’Don’t think I don’t know you did it on purpose.’
[Huh?]
’Stop pretending,’ a light chuckle, ’I was just thinking why you suddenly asked me what to do if we ran into Bi Qingyun, then when I saw Bi Qingyun, I understood.’
’You were worried I might lose control seeing Bi Qingyun, considering how terribly he’s harmed our family...’ Bi Xia lowered his gaze slightly, ’So if I couldn’t handle it, you planned to tell me Bi Qingyun was inside and let me leave, right?’
[...Yes.]007 shook his head helplessly, [I have to hand it to you, Your Majesty, you really are...]
’Incredibly smart?’ Bi Xia tilted his head, continuing 007’s sentence, ’No need to flatter me, it’s just the truth.’
007: ...
"Bi Xia, just order whatever you like to eat."
Hearing Father Chu’s words, Bi Xia looked up slightly and glanced at the menu that was being handed over to him. He shook his head, "No need, Uncle, you can order. I’m not interested in the Xu Family Banquet."
"Oh?" Father Chu looked at Bi Xia, "You’re the first person to say that. Don’t you know the Xu Family Banquet is very famous...?"
"I know." Bi Xia interrupted Father Chu’s words calmly.
Father Chu: "And yet you’re not interested? Be careful, you might end up eating your words, truth be told, their food is pretty good."
"You said it yourself, pretty good," Bi Xia responded slowly, "but not the best."
Bi Xia’s words piqued Father Chu’s interest. He asked, "Oh? Then tell me, what is the best?"
"The best?" Bi Xia chuckled lightly, "In my heart, there’s only one place that serves the best food, unmatched by anyone else."
"Interesting, who makes such great food that I don’t even know about?" Father Chu asked curiously.
"Ah!" Chu Kuang suddenly exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at Bi Xia, "Could it be...?"
Seeing Bi Xia nod with a smile, Chu Kuang swallowed hard, "Now that you mention it, I really feel like eating there again. Indeed, it’s truly excellent."
Father Chu didn’t expect even his own son to say this. Now he was more curious than ever, not for anything else but because he knew his son had a picky palate. If it wasn’t tasty, he wouldn’t eat it at all. For his son to say it was good meant it must be outstanding.
But, seeing that neither Bi Xia nor his son were willing to elaborate, Father Chu grew a little anxious. His son just gave him a faint glance, then looked at Bi Xia, fawning, "Your Majesty, when will you take me to Auntie’s place to eat again?"
Bi Xia glanced at Chu Kuang, "Go yourself. Besides, you go there more often than I do. Still need me to take you?"
Chu Kuang suddenly seemed embarrassed, "I can’t help it, Auntie never charges me when I go. I have to insist on paying, and she only lets me pay a token amount. It’s so embarrassing. I figured if I went with you, you’d definitely make sure I’d pay properly."
Hearing Chu Kuang’s words, Bi Xia raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, "Don’t worry, I wouldn’t just make you pay, I’d also collect all the money my mom didn’t take in the past. Do you still want me to come with you?"
"Yes! That’s perfect!" Chu Kuang suddenly banged on the table, "Hurry up and take it, otherwise, I’d feel too guilty going to Auntie’s place to eat. I’ve kept track of every penny, just waiting for you to collect it! Seriously!"
Bi Xia: ...
Seeing his son’s ’I’ll make you take my money or else’ expression, Father Chu was stunned. Knowing his son so well, he could tell that his son wasn’t faking it. It really must be delicious...
Thinking about it, Father Chu swallowed involuntarily, looking at Bi Xia and his son. They still wouldn’t reveal the place, but he guessed it was Bi Xia’s mother’s restaurant...
Seeing his father’s curious expression, Chu Kuang and Bi Xia exchanged a knowing glance. Then Chu Kuang suddenly turned to his father and said, "Dad, didn’t you think Bi Xia’s proposal was good? Hurry up and sign it, let’s go eat somewhere else!"
Father Chu: ...Why do I feel like I’ve been set up by my own son...
