Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 113 I'm Not Picky About Food
Just as Wen Jinnian was about to pull her hand back, Chi Yige grabbed it and deliberately scratched her palm.

Unable to pull back, she kicked him.

At this moment, after Wen Jin finished ordering, she handed the menu to Chi Yige.

Then I heard him say, "You can order whatever you like, I'm not picky."

His statement that he "doesn't pick at food" made Fu Yiyi's eyes widen immediately. "Brother, you don't pick at food? I remember you don't eat scallions or cilantro."

Wen Jinnian was also surprised. She remembered that the last time she went out to eat with him, he ate both the scallions and cilantro.

She glanced at Chi Yige curiously, but he just smiled and said casually, "I'm getting used to it."

Duan Jiayan and Shen Yu both clicked their tongues.

It's true that people in love tend to lower their standards for love.

For some inexplicable reason, they glanced at each other and suddenly felt a strong urge to fall in love.

This Cantonese restaurant's signature dishes are braised suckling pig with black caviar and stewed white lung soup with fish maw and snow lotus seeds in fresh apricot juice.

After the dishes were served to the table one after another, everyone began to eat.

These dishes are all local specialties.

Jiang Shu pointed to a plate of aged Shaoxing wine-flavored South African abalone, picked up a piece with serving chopsticks and put it in Wen Jin's bowl, then commented: "Aunt, this dish has a wine aroma, is quite refreshing and delicious, and the meat is quite chewy."

Wen Jin nodded and said, "Everyone, don't worry about me, just eat your own food."

Because Wen Jin was the only senior among them, everyone was watching her. As soon as she started eating, everyone else picked up their chopsticks as well.

Fu Yiyi was quite lively and pointed directly to the plate of nostalgic shrimp toast, saying, "This is good. The toast is crispy, the shrimp is fried just right, and it's very fresh and bouncy. The sweet and sour sauce is very flavorful."

"Niannian, you give it a try."

Wen Jinian nodded and took a bite with her.

Chi Yige, who was standing next to her, used serving chopsticks to pick up a crispy French lamb belly and put it in her bowl.

"This dish has a good balance of lean and fatty meat, with a subtle lamb flavor that isn't gamey. Plus, it's served with black sesame sauce and carrots, which should be something you'd like."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shu picked up a piece of roasted pigeon with dried tangerine peel.

"Niannian, the pigeon stew is very flavorful, you should try it."

As expected, Wen Jinnian's bowl was piled high with all sorts of dishes.

Wen Jinnian looked at the plate full of dishes, then at Chi Yige and Jiang Shu.

She was helpless.

The two acted normally, but there was a subtle, unspoken tension in the air.

“I can eat by myself, I have hands,” Wen Jinian said.

“I remember you like to eat these, so I wanted to take extra care of you,” Jiang Shu explained with a smile.

"I'm sitting close to you, so it's only right that I take care of the lady."

Chi Yige's casual remark made Fu Yiyi, who was standing next to him, widen her eyes.

She pointed to herself with her index finger, the meaning of which was self-evident: she was also a woman.

Hmph, her brother is just biased.

Duan Jiaxu, who was standing to the side, found it amusing and quickly served Fu Yiyi several dishes.

Wen Jin glanced at the people present, noticed the two people's little thoughts, smiled slightly, and continued eating.

Jiang Shu sat at the table, his hands clenched tightly beneath it, but his expression remained impassive. He looked at Chi Yige, his tone casual and indifferent, "Young Master Chi, are you satisfied with some of the details regarding the recent project?"

"If we achieve the current targets, we can further increase profits by the end of the year."

Jiang Shu smiled and nodded, "We must give them the best results, after all, it's a rare opportunity to cooperate with Chijiang Group."

Then he casually asked, "Is Mr. Chi still single? I'm curious what kind of woman you like."

Chi Yige raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Jiang Shu.

After taking a bite of food, he smiled and leaned back lazily in his chair, his gaze falling on Wen Jinian, who was drinking soup. He said casually, "I think Wen is quite nice."

Wen Jinian almost choked on the soup she had just drunk. She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth and kicked Chi Yige hard.

The person, however, did not care and continued, "Wen's appearance and personality are excellent criteria for choosing a partner."

He deliberately emphasized the words "choosing a spouse".

Jiang Shu's expression was a little stiff, even a little embarrassed. He quickly said, "My Niannian is definitely a good person, and many people would want to pursue her. But I don't think you and Niannian are a good match."

Wen Jin seemed to sense something and quickly said, "Niannian is still young. I only hope that she can find someone she likes in the future. I don't care about social status or anything like that, as long as he can treat Niannian well."

Jiang Shu finally calmed down and looked at Wen Jin, "Aunt is right. Niannian should find someone who treats her well and whom she knows well."

He emphasized the words "knowing the root of the matter" very much.

Chi Yige chuckled, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip: "Indeed, we must know everything about him."

He also emphasized those four words very much.

Wen Jinian seemed to detect something unusual in her tone.

She frowned, wondering if Jiang Shu had discovered something; the tension between the two was palpable.

Chi Yige became much more composed and quietly ate his food.

He answered a phone call, then stood up, nodded slightly to Wen Jin, and said, "Aunt, I have something to attend to at my company, so I'll be leaving now. I've already paid the bill; I'll treat you and Wen to a meal another time."

Wen Jin nodded, signaling him to hurry up and get busy.

Duan Jiayan and Shen Yu, who were standing to the side, also stood up.

After everyone had eaten their fill, Jiang Shu wanted to take Wen Jin and Wen Jin Nian back home.

Wen Jin smiled and said, "Niannian and I know you're busy. Yiyi, you live closer to us. Can you give us a ride?"

Fu Yiyi nodded, "Of course, Aunt, I also have a lot to tell you, and I'm going to secretly tattle on Niannian to you."

Wen Jin smiled and said, "Oh, then you'd better have a good talk with me. I need to give Niannian a piece of my mind."

Jiang Shu then looked at Wen Jinnian and said, "The company is having a team building event in a few days. Let's go out and relax together."

Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Wen Jinnian couldn't bear to refuse. "Brother, I'll see later."

As the group walked down to the elevator, they unexpectedly bumped into the woman who had watched the movie with Jiang Shu that day.

Her makeup was exquisite, and her gaze swept over everyone before finally landing on Wen Jinnian, at which point a faint smile appeared on her lips.

The atmosphere inside the elevator froze instantly.

The woman spoke first, her tone somewhat familiar: "Young Master Jiang, what a coincidence?"

Jiang Shu was also surprised to run into her here. She immediately looked at Wen Jinnian and hurriedly introduced her, "This is Ms. Chen, who has a cooperative relationship with the company. This is Nian Nian, you two have met before."

Chen Si extended her hand, "Hello, Miss Wen looks even more gentle and charming today."
