Chapter 345: Abrupt call
Qin Yan and Xi Ting were then led to a table nestled in a secluded corner, offering privacy amidst the lively ambiance. A pristine white tablecloth draped the table, adorned with flickering candles in delicate crystal holders. A small bouquet of fragrant roses graced the center, their petals hinting at the romance that lingered in the air.
Taking their seats, the couple settled into the plush, upholstered chairs, feeling a sense of anticipation building. The sommelier approached with an extensive wine list, offering guidance and recommendations to ensure the perfect pairing for your meal.
After thoughtful consideration, Xi Ting decided to indulge in a glass of fine champagne, its effervescence tickling the couple’s senses.
As they clinked your glasses together, a subtle toast marked the start of a romantic night. The sommelier expertly suggests a delightful wine pairing that would enhance the flavors of each course.
As the couple perused the menu, their eyes danced across a symphony of French culinary delights. Each dish was described with meticulous detail, awakening their taste buds and stirring a sense of intrigue.
For appetizers, they selected a duo of escargots de Bourgogne and a delicate foie gras terrine. The escargots, nestled in a rich garlic and parsley butter, were served in their shells, providing a delectable blend of flavors and textures. The foie gras terrine, served with a warm brioche and a drizzle of sweet fig reduction, melted in their mouth, leaving a lingering richness.
As they savored the last bites of the appetizers, the main course arrived, presented with artistic finesse. Qin Yan had chosen the tender filet mignon which was perfectly cooked to their preference, accompanied by a rich truffle sauce and a medley of seasonal vegetables. The aroma was captivating, and with each bite, the flavors dance on the couple’s palate, showcasing the culinary mastery of the chef.
The couple exchanged affectionate glances towards each other but the romantic atmosphere was broken by a call on Xi Ting’s phone.
Xi Ting frowned. Normally he wouldn’t get any calls at this time. However, when he saw who was calling, he picked it up. After hearing the contents of the call, his frown increased even more.
"What happened?" Qin Yan asked when she saw Xi Ting’s dark face.
"Mom called. She wants us to go to their house immediately."
