Chapter 330: His World Was Very Dangerous (2)
Gu Qiqi’s small heart beat rapidly. She pretended not to understand and lowered her head to look at her fingers.
That won’t do.
She wasn’t going to fall for it.
If she spent his money, she would be “greedy and soft-hearted”. Step by step, she would completely fall into the world of stupid men.
Gu Xuexue and the rest kept slandering her for being booked by an old man. Wasn’t she rushing to provide evidence?
She wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but her stomach suddenly growled and betrayed her.
“You weren’t full just now?” Gong Jue curved his lips.
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
Would she have the appetite to eat in front of that group of ugly people from the Gu family? Even if she kept burying her head in her food, she was actually counting the rice grains!
Gong Jue instructed Adjutant Lu. “Go to the revolving restaurant in the Empire State Building.”
Gu Qiqi hurriedly waved her hand. “No, no. It’s fine if it’s at that kind of place. It takes half a day to order, and it takes half a day to wait for the food to be served.”
She had heard that the revolving restaurant at the Empire State Building was one of the most luxurious high-end restaurants in the Imperial Capital.
In that kind of place, even the menu was printed in French. Those who didn’t know would study it for a long time and have to translate it through a phone dictionary so they wouldn’t mistake the main course for dessert.
She was tired.
Gong Jue snorted and said casually, “I can let them clear the place! The head chef will specially cook for you alone. Why are you looking at the menu? Let him cook whatever you want to eat!”
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
Suddenly, she felt that the simple and crude Gong Jue was back.
“Sister, actually, you love spicy skewers the most, right?”
Xiaobei suddenly said from the front row.
Special Assistant Lu gave him a thumbs-up. “Not bad, kid! Good help.”
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
She was actually betrayed by her own younger brother.
Gong Jue frowned. “What’s spicy skewers?”
Xiaobei said, “It’s the soup base that’s stewed with fragrant bone soup, herbs, sesame oil, and spicy oil. All kinds of vegetables and meat dishes have been skewed with a bamboo skewer. Together with the flavor plates made of scallion, starch, crushed peanuts, and chili noodles, we can eat a string of ingredients. When my older sister’s appetite isn’t good, when she catches a cold and sneezes, or when she’s staying up late to memorize books, this is her favorite food.”
More importantly, it was very cheap. It only cost 2 dollars per piece.
However, Xiaobei didn’t mention that.
Gong Jue’s lips twitched. “Gu Qiqi, I didn’t expect you to have such strong tastes.”
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
Did she have a strong taste just from eating skewers? What did she do wrong?
“Don’t listen to Xiaobei. I’m not hungry now. Let’s go home first.” Gu Qiqi curled her lips and said.
Gong Jue said directly to Special Assistant Lu and Xiaobei, “Where can we eat the… skewers? Can you all find out?”
“Yes!”
“Okay. Thank you, Brother-in-law.”
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
No one seemed to want to listen to her opinion!
Special Assistant Lu made many turns in the small alley behind Jinnen Avenue and finally found the place where Xiaobei said she would eat skewers.
It was a very small streetfront.
There were three to four small tables by the door.
The alley was narrow. They couldn’t even stop their car. They had to walk.
However, although the conditions were simple, the store was quite clean.
In particular, when the casserole with the soup base was served and it was filled with bamboo sticks and ingredients that emitted a rich fragrance, Gu Qiqi completely forgot about dining etiquette and didn’t hold back at all.
It was delicious!
Gu Qiqi destroyed dozens of sticks in one go.
“Eh, why aren’t you eating?”
Gu Qiqi looked at Gong Jue.
Even Special Assistant Lu and Xiaobei had a great appetite and ate happily at the table next to hers.
But Gong Jue only sipped the rice wine that the manager had given him and didn’t do anything.
Gu Qiqi was enlightened and carefully probed, “You… are afraid of spicy food?”
Gong Jue’s lips twitched.
“Or… afraid of numbness?”
Gong Jue’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
“It can’t be that you can’t eat spicy food, right?” Gu Qiqi seemed to have suddenly discovered a new world and couldn’t help but laugh.
The Chief—who wasn’t afraid of heaven or earth—who was always arrogant and domineering—actually didn’t dare to eat spicy food.
