  In the end, Yun Shishi sent a message to Gu Xingze before leaving with the secretary.

  The Imperial Private Chamber was a place of gathering for consumption, relaxation, and entertainment. KTVs, bars, gyms, cafes, and other facilities for recreation were complete under this one roof.

  Be it business or pleasure, whatever was needed could be satisfied in this place.

  The Chinese restaurant in it was especially famous. Besides the elaborate decoration, its signage represented fame and luxury. An average meal of two or three dishes in the restaurant would cost an arm and a leg to the typical rich.

  However, despite the expensive prices of food, it was still well patronized.

  Hence, if there was no reservation in advance, it would be difficult to get in queue for a table. Today happened to be the peak hours for human traffic.

  To Li Lan, though, reserving a table here was an easy matter.

  The restaurant manager specifically arranged an elegant compact dining room for the two of them after her reservation call. The room, which had dim lighting and glass windows with beaded curtains, had a classical charm to it.

  Yun Shishi did not have a big appetite, but she was truly starving at present. Just the sight of delectable food presented in the menu was enough to make her greedy for more.

  She lost her self-restraint in her hunger, and whichever she set her eyes on, she wanted to taste it. In the end, the dishes she ordered were enough to fill up the whole table.

  As she held the chopsticks between her fingers, the dishes were served one after another, and she started to feel rather guilty.

  She had a fleeting glance at the price of each food earlier. A dish easily cost a few hundred yuan. With so many dishes, would this meal cost a few thousand yuan, then?

  The secretary opposite her was a little taken aback as well. She surveyed the food-laden table with a start, and her hand, which was holding the chopsticks, went a little stiff as she chortled. “Are you this hungry?”


  Yun Shishi felt a little frustrated with what she had ordered, too.

  Li Lan had some desserts before she left for work, so she was not really hungry at the moment. Adding the fact that she was not one to eat more than required, she quickly felt full after a few mouthfuls.

  Yun Shishi relished her meal. Indeed, this Chinese restaurant’s reputation as the ‘number one’ in the capital was well-deserved. The food was not only extremely exquisite but also very savory. It made one greedy for more.

  Besides, she was thoroughly famished. She could not bother maintaining a dignified image before the personal assistant.

  She concentrated on eating and, within a short period of time, half of the food on the table had been consumed by her.

  Li Lan simply looked on, finding the sight of her eating to be rather enjoyable. Perhaps, this was what they meant by a ‘delectable look’!

  A beauty was always a delightful sight to behold, regardless of what she was doing.

  Before the soup broth was served, she put down her chopsticks and lifted her head. The tip of her tongue softly licked the corner of her lips, seemingly unfulfilled and yet contented. There was a look of lovely silliness between her eyebrows.

  The secretary was tickled by her look. Passing over a hankie to her, she gently asked, “Are you full?”


  Yun Shishi nodded before taking the hankie from her and carefully wiping her mouth with it. Subconsciously, she rubbed her slightly bulging tummy.

  It was no wonder the prices of food here were on the high side; everything was simply delicious. If her appetite were a little bigger, she was confident that she would be able to wipe clean this table full of food!

  She eyed the silver fish broth greedily and then sighed reluctantly, acknowledging that she could not hold any more food in her tummy. She looked up and checked quietly with the waiter. “Can I have these as takeaways?”


  “Of course, you can if you want!”


  Li Lan added, “Since you like the food here, I’ll bring you here again.”


  Yun Shishi displayed a contented smile upon hearing that.
