Chapter 102 How come it's you?
yesterday evening.
Inside the Lu Family Restaurant.
The table was filled with a variety of light, liquid foods carefully prepared by a nutritionist.
Lu Feng sat in the main seat, holding a bowl of bird's nest soup, and was about to persuade Xiao Xue to have a few bites, as usual.
However, Xiao Xue simply pushed the bowl of bird's nest away.
Under Lu Feng's puzzled gaze, Xiao Xue turned to the nanny standing to the side and said loudly:
"Aunt Wang, could you please serve me a bowl of rice, a little dry?"
Then stir-fry some greens for me, any kind will do, just add a little extra salt.
Lu Feng even dropped the spoon he was holding onto the table.
"Wife...you...you want to eat?" Lu Feng stammered.
Since her morning sickness became severe, Xiao Xue would vomit violently whenever she ate rice, let alone ask for stir-fried dishes.
"Yes." Xiao Xue nodded very naturally.
"After eating Mr. Chen's braised beef brisket with potatoes at noon, the nausea in my stomach disappeared."
I feel hungry right now and want to eat something to fill me up.
Aunt Wang nervously placed a bowl of white rice and a plate of stir-fried bok choy in front of Xiao Xue.
Lu Feng's heart was in his throat; he was prepared to grab a trash can to catch the vomit at any moment.
However, Xiao Xue did not vomit.
She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed some vegetables, and started eating them with rice in big mouthfuls.
Lu Feng sat there blankly across from his wife, watching her finish the entire bowl of rice.
When Xiao Xue put down her chopsticks and let out a small, satisfied burp, Lu Feng's eyes instantly reddened.
He even stood up excitedly and walked around the restaurant twice, rubbing his face with both hands.
"Wife, you...you really ate it..." Lu Feng's voice was trembling.
"I told you, I'm all better." Xiao Xue pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, then her bright eyes fixed on Lu Feng.
She stood up, walked directly to Lu Feng's side, hugged his arm with both hands, and began to gently shake it.
"Honey, I want to go to 'Human World'."
"What are you going there for?" Lu Feng was taken aback.
"If you want to eat beef brisket, I'll send someone to queue up and buy it for you again tomorrow."
That place is in the old street, the road is difficult to walk on, and there are a lot of people.
"No." Xiao Xue pressed her face against Lu Feng's arm, her voice drawn out, carrying a rare hint of coquetry.
"I want to go myself."
I want to thank Mr. Chen in person.
Moreover, the dishes there are most delicious when eaten fresh out of the pot.
The food tastes worse when packed in an insulated container.
"No." Lu Feng frowned, adopting his usual authoritative demeanor.
"Your health has only just begun to improve, and even the doctor says you need absolute rest."
Although it's a miracle that you can eat now, it doesn't mean you can run around like a madman.
"After a while, once your pregnancy is completely stable, I'll personally book an entire restaurant and treat you to a meal, okay?"
Xiao Xue released Lu Feng's arm, took two steps back, and immediately frowned.
"Lu Feng, are you being reasonable? Who healed me?"
"Is it a doctor from the hospital? It's Boss Chen's food!" Xiao Xue shouted.
"I know, and I am grateful to him."
"So I'll have someone send enough gifts over tomorrow," Lu Feng explained patiently.
"Tacky!" Xiao Xue put her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Lu Feng.
"With Boss Chen's skills, do you think he'd be short of your money? You're insulting him!"
Seeing that Lu Feng remained unmoved, Xiao Xue's eyes lit up, and she suddenly changed her strategy.
She stopped arguing and jumped up and down twice on the spot.
"Ouch! My little darling! What are you doing!"
Lu Feng was terrified and rushed forward to hug Xiao Xue tightly, pressing his hands firmly on her shoulders, afraid that she would do something dangerous again.
"Didn't you say I wasn't better?" Xiao Xue struggled in Lu Feng's arms, tilting her head back with an extremely shameless look.
"Look, I can not only walk, I can also jump."
I'm completely healed! If you don't take me, I'll just take a taxi myself.
If you dare send your bodyguards to stop me, I'll go on a hunger strike!
Seeing his wife's unprecedentedly "shrewish" demeanor, Lu Feng was completely defeated.
The once dignified, elegant, and gentle-spoken wife is now resorting to shameless behavior at home in order to go to a run-down little restaurant.
Looking at Xiao Xue's wide-eyed stare, Lu Feng could only helplessly raise his hands and let out a long sigh.
"I give up, I agree. I'll take you, okay?"
Let's go back to 6:30 this morning.
Lu Feng was still fast asleep in bed when he was abruptly shaken awake by a violent jolt.
He groggily opened his eyes and saw Xiao Xue standing by the bed, her delicate makeup and clothes on, tightly gripping his blanket with both hands.
"Get up! Lu Feng! Get up now!" Xiao Xue shouted.
Lu Feng rubbed his sore eyes and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table.
"Wife...it's only 6:30...it's not even dawn yet..." Lu Feng wailed, trying to snatch the blanket back and cover his head with it again.
"What's wrong with 6:30! If you're late, you won't get a turn!" Xiao Xue rudely yanked off Lu Feng's blanket, grabbed his arm, and pulled him off the bed.
"Go wash your face and brush your teeth! The driver is already waiting downstairs! We need to get there early today!"
Lu Feng was forcibly dragged out of bed.
And so, the president of the prestigious Lu Group was dragged out of bed by his wife, and before he could even have a bite of breakfast, he was driven to this little restaurant hidden in a dilapidated old street.
As time passed, the once quiet old street began to become noisy.
One by one, diners began to appear at the entrance of the alley.
Originally, everyone wanted to make a few more noise, but when they saw Lu Feng and his wife sitting on the stone bench, their voices involuntarily fell silent.
Lu Feng's aloof and superior demeanor, coupled with the expensive black sedan beside him, made him seem out of place in this old street full of life.
The diners exchanged glances, but no one dared to approach them for a chat or speak loudly.
The originally chaotic group became orderly because of Lu Feng and his companion.
Everyone waited quietly behind Lu Feng and his wife, their eyes filled with curiosity, but even more so with awe for the "Human Fireworks" shop—even people of such status had to obediently sit on stone benches and wait, what kind of background did the shop owner have?
Lu Feng felt the gazes around him, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't react.
He turned to look at Xiao Xue and asked in a low voice, "Are you thirsty? I'll go to the car and get you some water."
"I'm not thirsty." Xiao Xue took a deep breath, her eyes shining.
"Honey, smell this, it smells different."
It was savory with soy sauce flavor a moment ago, but now there's another flavor... a caramel flavor, somewhat like the sweet aroma of freshly baked sweet potatoes.
Is the door about to open?!
Lu Feng smiled helplessly, but he could indeed smell the almost solidified aroma of meat.
"Squeak—"
Just as everyone was about to lose patience, a crisp sound of the latch being pulled came from the wooden door.
The entire room fell silent instantly, dozens of eyes fixed on the slowly opening wooden door.
The door was slowly pushed open.
Lu Feng politely stood up, took Xiao Xue's hand, and took two steps forward.
However, when the door was fully opened, revealing a figure standing behind it wearing an apron and wiping his hands with a rag, Lu Feng and Xiao Xue's expressions became incredibly interesting in an instant.
Xiao Xue's expectant eyes widened suddenly, and her mouth opened slightly, remaining open for a long time.
Lu Feng's usually calm and composed face, which remained unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain, suddenly cracked. His pupils contracted sharply, and he seemed to be frozen in place.
"How is it you?!"
The Lu Feng couple exclaimed in almost unison.
Their voices were filled with disbelief, shock, and an utterly absurd astonishment.
