Chapter 633 Delicious
Lin Qi had wanted to say something to Shen Dong, but when she saw that he was racking his brains sending a message, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that he was messaging that pretty young lady? Given the look on his face, it seemed very likely, especially recalling how possessive that young lady had been earlier.
Shen Dong didn’t say anything back then; one glance and you could tell that there was something special between them. Now, as Lin Qi sat there dining with him, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of mischief brewing inside. Suddenly she wondered, if that pretty sister told her not to get close to Shen Dong, would they never be able to be close again?
Considering these things, Lin Qi realized she had developed some feelings for Shen Dong. If she had to give up these feelings so abruptly, she could probably accept it, but she decided to take things one step at a time. They weren’t at the point of cutting ties yet. Moreover, they were business partners; such relationships couldn’t be ended just like that.
Having thought it through, she finally felt at ease and waited in her seat. After all, having found consolation, she was alright. When the owner of the barbecue restaurant brought over their food and saw a new face alongside Shen Dong, he didn’t quite know what to say and was somewhat puzzled. The very pretty young lady who used to accompany Shen Dong wasn’t there today, and instead, there was someone of a completely different type.
Not to say that Shen Dong wasn’t popular. The restaurant owner kept this comment to himself, showing he was a man who knew his place.
Shen Dong took a bite of the grilled lamb, sighing with satisfaction. It was indeed delicious, and with the spices sprinkled on top, it was beyond description. Handing a skewer to Lin Qo, he said, "Alright, hurry up and try it. Don’t just sit there. After we finish eating, let’s head back. You try it first and see if it’s good, and check if I’ve deceived you."
"Right, beauty, don’t be shy. Treat this place as if it’s your own home. Try it and see if it’s good. If not, tell me and I’ll grill it again until you’re satisfied," the barbecue restaurant owner said hospitably, smiling as he spoke.
"Okay, you can go back to your work. No need to stay here with us. If I want more later, I’ll order more. Look at all the customers over there; you’re really busy. Business seems to be booming," Shen Dong said with a chuckle, clearly delighted.
It made him happy because it was a spot they had discovered themselves, and gradually business picked up—it was like watching one’s own child grow up.
Lin Qi had never eaten much good food growing up, but she had eaten barbecue before, so what was the big deal? She didn’t think much of it; she assumed it was just because Shen Dong, a young master, rarely ate such junk food that he found it tasty.
