Chapter 336: Delicacies of Beijing
"Hurry up and try them. I ordered Beijing’s specialties for you to try." Guan Lei’s excitement bled into his voice.
Shen Xi picked up her phone and eyed Guan Lei with a raised brow. "You seem to know Beijing quite well."
Guan Lei was caught off guard by Shen Xi’s incisive statement but quickly recovered. "I’ve been to Beijing a few times, but I wouldn’t say I’m familiar with the area."
While it was plain that he was making up an excuse, Guan Lei did not think he was lying. Because of his enemies, he seldom stayed in Beijing. He spent most of his time in Hai City or various other locations.
Shen Xi was not one to pry, so she chose to play dumb and went along with Guan Lei’s explanation.
"You’ve ordered too much. I’ll have to ask my cousin and Zhao Yuan to help with this much food..." Shen Xi was about to text her good friend and Zheng Huai, when Guan Lei stopped her.
"You don’t need to do that. Zhao Yuan isn’t poor; she can eat whatever she wants. Your cousin isn’t around either, so he wouldn’t be able to help." This was his private time with Xixi. How could he let anyone else come between them?
"Why does it feel like you know this place like the back of your hand despite being miles away?" Shen Xi idly raised what was on her mind as she savored the delicacies.
