Lord Fei was in a good mood. He knew that if Lin Yan wasn't good, Shen Junxi wouldn't have brought him here. This little brat next to him was a relatively straightforward man. If he liked someone, he would help them no matter what. If he didn't like them, the person could die right in front of him, yet Shen Junxi wouldn't even blink an eye at the latter. The fact that he worked so hard to bring him here only meant that he really wanted to acquaint him and Lin Yan. Yet Lord Fei didn't rush ahead; instead, he tested Lin Yan himself. "Is that so? Then I do hope that I didn't waste my time coming here. You might not know, but this weekend it's my wife's birthday. She will be turning fifty-two this weekend, and I would like to give her a rather good surprise. If you don't live up to my expectations, then hmm-"
Lord Fei didn't continue, but Lin Yan didn't need him to. While he did have a hard time controlling his emotions when a certain woman was concerned, he was confident and bold in front of a man. He trusted his skills more than he trusted his brothers. "Don't worry, my lord. My staff and I have worked really hard to prepare these dishes, and my wife thought long and hard to develop these new dishes. You can rest assured that you won't have seen these dishes even in the capital. The ones served at our restaurant are unique and original."
"Oh, dear! You seem to be quite confident. Then it will be a pity if I don't check out these dishes that you speak so highly of, "Lord Fei was really elated when he heard Lin Yan speak. He was indeed looking forward to eating something new that he hadn't eaten before. Both he and his wife were old and experienced foodies. Was there anything they hadn't seen? It was getting quite challenging to cheer his wife up, who was becoming upset and bored with how monotonous her life was in her later years. Lord Fei wanted to surprise her in a way that would raise her spirits up.
Which was why he agreed to come here with Shen Junxi. It wasn't that he hadn't eaten roasted duck before, but it was nothing but bland meat with coarse salt and soy sauce. It was either too salty or too bland, but the roast duck made by Lin Yan had a perfect blend of spices. It was neither too salty nor bland. In fact, it was pretty crispy and delicious to eat. It was something novel that he hadn't eaten before. So Lord Fei was looking forward to another surprise if possible.
Lin Yan showed him a polite smile before instructing the staff to bring the special dishes that they had prepared for their esteemed guests. "Go! Serve all the dishes that we prepared!" Then he turned to Lord Fei and spoke up in a manner that wasn't too overbearing or humble. "Please do give us your valuable advice, my Lord."
All the restaurant staff had placed significant importance on this esteemed guest of theirs. They prepared the dishes right before his arrival and put their skills to the limit. The dishes were served without any delays.
The first to come was, of course, the appetizers: sticky baked chicken wings, chicken in lettuce wraps, okra salad with black vinegar, wood ear mushroom salad, egg rolls, cucumber salad, sliced tofu salad, broccoli with oyster sauce, and finally vegetable potstickers.
As Lord Fei listened to Lin Yan's introduction for each dish, he tasted each one and felt his satisfaction grow more and more. Like Lin Yan said, these dishes were something that he was seeing for the first time. The staff brought the lobster sticky rice and squirrelfish together with another set of plates. Lord Fei's eyes were bursting with anticipation.
He wanted to taste the dishes at once, but the bodyguard next to him held him up. "Wait, my lord. At least let me check the dishes first before you eat."
Lord Fei wanted to slap this old bodyguard, he was good and loyal, but he was too devoted. That bratty nephew of his had sent him the most troublesome bodyguard of his, hard to tease, never laughs, and sticks to the rules more than he clings to his own wife! Simply annoying! Yet he didn't stop him. He knew that if he tried to stop him, this stupid bodyguard would immediately rush to be tattle tale about him to that brat of his! He could only sit back and watch as the bodyguard took out a silver needle and checked the dishes for poison before taking a bite.
One chew.
Two chews.
Threw chews.
Swallowed.
And then he reached for another bite! Excuse me? What was that?
"Hey! Hey hey?! What are you doing?" Lord Fei couldn't help but question when he saw his bodyguard taking another bite of his beloved dish.
"Ahem, I was checking for fishbones," said the bodyguard without any embarrassment at all. "it would be troublesome if esteemed lord swallowed a fishbone by mistake."
'Are you sure you are speaking the truth? Are you sure you just didn't want another bite?'
Everyone had the same thought in their mind, but no one dared to say it outright. Shen Junxi and Lin Yan couldn't say anything, and Lord Fei couldn't say anything either. This was his best comrade who once fought in a war with him, going so far as taking an arrow for him. He couldn't just embarrass his bodyguard in front of so many people.
Once the inspection was done, Lord Fei happily took a bite of the fish and exclaimed, "You all are so fussy, see isn't everything alright?" Then after the first bite, he exclaimed, "Good, this is so good! It's so delicious! No wonder you took another bite!"
The esteemed Lord Fei, who swore internally not to embarrass his best comrade, quickly forgot his promise.
In the restaurant, the surroundings were full of happiness and enjoyment. On the other hand, the Fu mansion was overcast with a brewing storm.
"What did you say?" Luo Xin, who heard about the visit of Lord Fei to Lin Yan's restaurant from her spy, felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Her best toy, her beautiful doll, was being tainted by that peasant girl, and she couldn't even do anything!
She was just going to make a move, and then this happened! Her doll was going to be taken away from her! If this continues, then her doll will be stained by someone else! She can't allow that! She was the one who worked hard on that pretty toy to make him what he was now, submissive and cute! Without her, he would be just an average man!
How dare he turn himself away from her! How dare he run away from her!
He was the dog that she raised.. He was her doll to play with whenever she wanted. How dare he get away from her!
