Chapter 208: That perfect moment

You are next to me-

Merely meeting you face-to-face –

A lightning flashed on a sunny day in May –

-Faye Wong’s “Fleeting Time”: Lin Xi

.........

.........

Ning Xiaofei turned her face, and seeing the two men by the window, she smiled.

At that same moment, a lightning seemed to flash across his eyes, and the whole yard was lit for a few minutes.

Years later, whenever Xicheng thought of this girl, her smile still remained vividly in his mind.

On that May night, spring was very bright.

Of course, this is a postscript.

At this moment, he just averted his eyes and looked elsewhere. Xu Yang greeted Ning Xiaofei unwares. Just blame him for ruining that perfect moment.

Pierced by his glare, Xu Yang touched his head inexplicably, baffled if he had done something wrong.

Downstairs, a dainty girl in a cheongsam came to welcome Ning Xiaofei.

“Are you Miss Ning, please follow me upstairs!”

She followed the girl upstairs. Soon, they came outside the private room where Xicheng is located.

Unlike other restaurants where private rooms are tightly closed, the doors and windows of the private rooms here are wide open. The air ventilates the whole room and a floral scent permeates around.

This private restaurant serves only one guest every night. Expensive is indispensable. Of course, it also provides high-quality service and exquisite dishes, which is especially befitting people like Xicheng.

After all, it’s not easy for someone like him to have a normal meal outside quietly.

The waiters here are naturally experienced. Since they are facing such figures, they are well aware that they are powerful.

“Miss Ning, please!”

Xu Yang quickly welcomed Ning Xiaofei, and Xicheng also stood up at the table.

Recalling how harshly he poured dog’s blood on her, the shame in his heart has yet to disappear. It’s just his pride that has been on the pedestal for long years prevented him from lowering himself, and so he could only utter a word sit.

Ning Xiaofei was also not polite. She entered and sat down opposite him, while Xu Yang hurriedly followed suit.

“When I heard that you are coming, the young master called the owner of the store and hired a team, just to let you taste the dishes of this restaurant. The chef here is a real disciple of an imperial chef eunuch who came out of the palace ..."

Xicheng interrupted unpleasantly, “Don’t talk too much, no one is dumb.”

Xu Yang had a moment of frustration. He has paved the way for him, but this grandpa just doesn’t appreciate it.

historical

The room was quiet, and Xicheng cleared his throat.

“Still not going to urge them for the vegetables.”

There’s no need to order the dishes here. Once the staff are notified of the guests’ arrival, they will naturally serve the dishes.

Xu Yang sulked for a while. “Sir, there is no need to call for the vegetables here. They know that Ms. Ning is here, so they will naturally serve the food.”

The cup Xicheng was holding in his hand was gripped tightly as he shot him a stern glance. If he could dump Xu Yang downstairs.

This idiot, there’s no need for him to come back. Can’t he catch his meaning?

"Hurry up!"

Pressured by his ferocity, Xu Yang was beaten. Knowing how to evade beating, he could only scurry away.

Across him, Ning Xiaofei’s inserted.

“I’m thirsty, can you pour me a glass of water?”

Her request came off so natural, as if the two of them have been friends for many years, and there’s no need for politeness.

Xicheng froze.

He has berated her ruthlessly in front of the entire crew the other day, and he wanted to apologize to her seriously. He has even braced himself for her anger, which could have cleared the ground and they’re back to square one.
