Chapter 1303 - 1275: That’s How the Matter Was Settled

Chapter 1303: Chapter 1275: That’s How the Matter Was Settled

Qian ordered lobsters that aren’t those tiny, roadside one’s you can’t get enough of. They’re huge, and she ordered a ton of them, along with many other dishes, even Yu Minglang couldn’t look on any longer.

Before Qian could answer, Qio Yu Xuan smiled and answered for her.

"Each shrimp has a unique taste, if she wants to eat, let her."

"I don’t want to eat." Qian shot him a challenging glance, making it clear she’s here to indulge.

Come on, old man, get mad, let’s hurt each other!

If it were that ’former father’, his face would probably turn green. Not to mention Chen Lin, who always cussed at Qian after realizing she wasn’t his child — even when Qian was his daughter, he was reluctant to give Qian good stuff, let alone when she’s clearly being such a ’wasteful brat’.

But Qio Yu Xuan wasn’t mad at all; he nodded and agreed with Qian.

"Sure, if you don’t want to eat, just order some more to look at. Didn’t those royals always prioritize aesthetics? If my daughter wants to look, let her look. Waiter! Bring one of each of your good-looking lobsters! As big as you can get!"

The waiter, despite having seen many wealthy people, was still stunned by such extravagance.

"Sir, we’ve got more than ten kinds of lobsters here, and each is quite large. You’re just a party of three—"

"Worried we can’t afford it? My daughter wants to see them, just serve it."

"Well... How about we get you the king lobster we just brought in? It’s a 10-kilo giant lobster, and it takes 7-10 years for this kind to grow 1 kilo. It’s a bit expensive though." Encountering a customer who doesn’t mind spending, the waiter confidently introduced and pointed out the priciest.

"Bring it!" said Qio Yu Xuan, full of extravagance.

"Wait a minute! How much does this king lobster cost exactly?" Qian was too familiar with that mysteriously confident look the waiter had; she was like that when fleecing fat sheep herself.

"8888 per kilo, so one lobster is 88888."

"Cough!" Yu Minglang choked on these vulgar numbers. This meal wasn’t eating lobsters, it was like consuming a property! You’d think you could buy a small house in a city for this!

"No, I don’t want that nor anything else, just these few are fine." Qian suddenly felt silly seeing Qio Yu Xuan being so attentive, losing her desire to make Qio Yu Xuan feel some pain and ditched several items she’d previously ordered.

"What’s wrong? If you don’t like it, we could change to something else. By the way, do you sell that gigantic turtle in your aquarium?" Qio Yu Xuan asked the waiter.

The waiter turned into small bean eyes, buddy, the giant turtle you mentioned is for display, over a meter long and at least 200 kilos in weight. Are you sure you want to eat that thing?!

"Alright, he’s just teasing you. Serve as I suggested. These will be enough." Qian dismissed the waiter.

Qio Yu Xuan pouted, "I’m serious."

"Are you silly or what? A giant turtle like that spread across the table would fill it up! Then both of you smelly men will just have nosebleeds — is that what you want?"

Everyone’s mind simultaneously conjured this image: A huge sea turtle sprawled across the table, Yu Minglang and Qio Yu Xuan drooling and with nosebleeds...

The image is too beautiful to behold. Qian thought about it and amused herself.

Seeing her laugh, Qio Yu Xuan’s lips curled too.

"Actually, it’s not that I’m foreign-obsessed. When it comes to lobsters, you must head to the homeland. In future, come with me to the seafood paradise in Country F, Brittany. They have a distinct blue lobster there, with a very slow growth period, it’s super tasty."

"Are you referring to that kind of lobster a Michelin restaurant would choose? All in blue, and reportedly there’s only one such mutant among 2 million?"

When talking about food, people always drop their defenses and find common ground. Qian indeed put down her hedgehog-like stance and discussed seriously with Qio Yu Xuan.

"Yeah, others can’t even get reservations, but I have a friend there. We can go and give head’s up. I’ll take you there, but don’t tell your senior brother and Erha. One is a piglet, and the other a glutton; if they come along, it just won’t be enough for us — hey, military dog, what are you looking at? You stare, and I still won’t take you there."

Only bring sweet Qian~

Yu Minglang wasn’t just craving lobsters but was patting the yawning, waking Xiaowei in the stroller, comforting her while watching Qian chat with Qio Yu Xuan.

"I feel you both have a great relationship; no matter how fierce the fight, you can reconcile anytime. How about it, Qian? Stop pretending and call him dad. When you eat lobsters, bring me along too."

This sentence seemed like a joke, but it wasn’t without precision.

Yu Minglang had observed for a long time and saw through Qian’s stubborn duck mouth. Clearly having feelings yet pretending to be cold; soon they’d start bickering again. Instead of endlessly stalemating, he might as well break the ice himself and pierce the window paper — so Qian doesn’t need to struggle calling ’dad’, unsure how to address Qio Yu Xuan, allowing her to feel awkward while Qio Yu Xuan also felt pitiful.

After he said it, Qian’s face flushed with redness instantly. Qio Yu Xuan’s eyes sparkled, scanning Yu Minglang up and down, suddenly feeling that today’s Erha looked particularly dashing, at least two meters and eight tall!

"Minglang, work hard, huh? Come, let dad give you a chicken’s crop sac, you supplement a bit~"

In light of Yu Minglang’s sensibility, Qio Yu Xuan’s dragon heart delighted, he didn’t call him Erha anymore but directly with his name.

If it weren’t for that thing he picked being full of malice, only seeing his affectionate expression, it truly made people quite touched.

Yu Minglang internally spat, chicken gizzard turned into chicken buttocks, still playing the scientific name with him, what crap chicken’s crop sac!

Scholarly Xiaoqiang wasn’t one to be outdone, grabbed a piece of fish sperm in return.

"I can’t compare to your hard work here. This pufferfish’s ’pride’ contains multiple fish sperm types, please enjoy it!"

Fish sperm has two meanings, in some places it’s swim bladder, Xiaoqiang meant that specific part of the pufferfish.

Yeah, no problem!

Yu Minglang adjusted the atmosphere between Qian and Qio Yu Xuan with what seemed like a playful approach to lightly brush away the deepest conflict between father and daughter. Qio Yu Xuan quickly caught on, seizing the moment humorously to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Honey, your dad bullied me! Quickly call the waiter over, let’s have a plate of bird’s-eye chili, let’s give him a ’blossoming chrysanthemum full of wounds’, let him see the vastness and profoundness of our celestial empire’s cuisine, so he’s uncomfortable above and below!"

"Daughter, are you on my side or his? How about we fish out that turtle and bleed it for him, bursting his arteries till he drops dead, then Dad finds you a better one!"

Qian looked at Yu Minglang, then at Qio Yu Xuan, and sighed deeply.

"You’re such grown-ups, isn’t this too childish? Eat!"

Qio Yu Xuan felt a bit lost in his heart, they’ve gotten this far but still won’t call him dad?

Alas, it’s true, his sweet Qian is so proud; how could she easily change her ways?

Then Qian spoke, "Look at you, already a dad, how can you still be so crazy? Look at what kind of looks Xiaowei is giving you?"
