Chapter 35: 035 Lu Han, this old guy, likes to go after young won? I used to think highly of him_1
The two sat down, and Lin Jiaojiao handed the nu to Tang Su. Lu Han told Lin Jiaojiao, “Let’s have a seafood dley, and for the rest, we’ll listen to her.”
“Got it,” Lin Jiaojiao responded straightforwardly.
Looking at the exquisite nu, Tang Su wanted to try this and that, her eyes swimming with options. For a mont, she didn’t know what to choose.
Seeing her dilemma, Lu Han suggested, “Pick a few of your favorites first, and for the rest, I’ll bring you here another ti.”
Lu Han chuckled; it wasn’t like he wouldn’t bring her here again— look how conflicted she got.
“Exactly, exactly, there’s plenty of ti. Miss Tang, if you really don’t know what to choose, may I suggest a couple of dishes?” Lin Jiaojiao was very enthusiastic toward Tang Su.
“Then thank you, ma’am,” Tang Su handed the nu to her.
Lin Jiaojiao knew her own nu like the back of her hand; she didn’t even need to look at it. “Dr. Lu just ordered a seafood dley, which includes various shellfish, and if Miss Tang likes bullfrog, you can try the diving bullfrog.”
“She doesn’t eat spicy food; make the seafood dley savory instead,” Lu Han interjected tily.
“Oh, then let’s go with the clay pot series—clay pot pork intestines, clay pot ribs, eggplant casserole, none of them are spicy.”
“Hmm, then let’s have all three of those, and add a clay pot trio tofu soup. I’ll also have so stead rice, thank you, ma’am,” Tang Su suddenly knew exactly what she wanted to eat.
“Sure thing, Miss Tang has quite the appetite. Just wait a mont; it’ll be right out.”
“Mhm.”
“Don’t forget, there are also two pots of osmanthus brew,” Lu Han reminded her just before Lin Jiaojiao left.
“Worry not, I can’t forget.” Lin Jiaojiao was sowhat speechless— he really never forgets to make the girl drink so sweet wine, does he?
Getting her drunk—are you planning on doing sothing bad?
n are really all the sa, no matter how they look. When it cos to a woman they like, there’s no keeping their thoughts pure.
She had always thought that only n as dense as her Tan at ho were the ones driven by their lower half all day.
A man in his forties, and he still leaves her too sore to get out of bed every day.
That’s enough.
Lin Jiaojiao took the order to the kitchen, “Old Tan, move it, make the seafood pot with a savory sauce, not a single chili. Clay pot ribs, clay pot pork intestines, and that eggplant casserole. And one more thing, clay pot trio tofu soup. I’ll go fetch the osmanthus brew.”
“Hey, wifey, is that really Lu Han’s girlfriend?” Old Tan glanced at the pair sitting quite a distance from their kitchen.
“Not today, but who knows, next ti she might be,” Lin Jiaojiao was still quite confident in Lu Han’s charm.
“Heh, I’d never have guessed, Lu Han really likes fresh young things, huh? Used to think too highly of him.”
“And you don’t like fresh young things?” Lin Jiaojiao stood with hands on her hips and questioned him. How could he speak about Lu Han that way?
“If you didn’t like fresh young things, would you have followed
from the big city to this backwater to open a small tavern?”
This type of banter between the boss and his wife happened several tis each day in their kitchen. The other cooks were already used to it.
After all, even if the two really got into it, by the next day they would be inseparable as ever.
As the saying goes, couples quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of it.
These two were definitely practitioners of that saying.
“Lin Jiaojiao, that’s too much, you know. You’re thirty-five, and I’m only five years older than you.”
“Five years is still sothing, and it doesn’t change your nature as an old cow.”
“Heh, if I’m an old cow, you’d better not beg for rcy tonight from this old bull—no rcy even if you do beg.”
“…”
Lin Jiaojiao was furious, with so many people in the kitchen, that damn man dared to bring up their private matters.
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao speechless, the certain Mr. Tan with the surna Tan was quite smug.
He turned around to stir-fry the dishes while humming a tune.
The others in the kitchen silently mourned; the boss had only a few good hours left. Once it got dark, who would be begging for rcy was anyone’s guess.
Lin Jiaojiao turned and left the kitchen to the liquor cabinet, where she picked up two bottles of osmanthus wine.
Lin Jiaojiao enjoyed making wine, and because of her interest, Old Tan had invested all his money into this little bar.
Lin Jiaojiao made both flower and fruit wines.
These were low-alcohol drinks similar to fruit beers, of course, there were also those with high alcohol content, packing a strong punch after consumption.
When Lin Jiaojiao served the wine, she also provided salt and pepper peanuts and a platter of marinated snacks.
Such complintary snacks were a privilege only when Lu Han visited.
“Give them a try.” After putting everything down, Lin Jiaojiao made her exit judiciously, not wanting to disturb the two as they cultivated their relationship.
After Lin Jiaojiao left, Tang Su finally spoke up to explain to Lu Han, “Doctor Lu, please don’t take to heart what the landlady just said. I really… haven’t.”
“Hmm, she’s just the type who enjoys joking. You shouldn’t mind it,” Lu Han nodded.
“I didn’t mind it.”
Inside, Tang Su felt a subtle sense of loss. Lu Han indeed felt the sa towards her as he had eight years ago—absolutely nothing.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so composed.
And why did she deny it?
Could she not muster the courage to admit her feelings and then see how Lu Han would react?
If he still felt nothing, wouldn’t that an she could get over it sooner, sparing herself this anxiety and wild thoughts?
Ah—
What to do?
Her denial ant she didn’t want to face the reality sooner rather than later.
Never mind that, she decided. Tonight, she would go ho with Lu Han for dinner; she had to convince her “Empress Dowager” mother to help her.
If her own mother wouldn’t help her, what was she thinking?
Even the thod of coercing her mother—the old “cry, make a fuss, then threaten to hang herself”—Tang Su had thought it all through.
It was old-fashioned, but as long as it was effective, it would do.
She would just tell her mother that she had to be with Lu Han in this lifeti; without him, her daughter couldn’t go on living, and she’d leave her mother to deal with it.
Hmph, hmph, hmph—
Lost in the reverie of tonight’s plan, Tang Su was startled by the sudden ring of her phone, jolting her from her daydreams.
It was another unfamiliar number; Tang Su didn’t want to answer and hung up.
After hanging up, the phone rang again; Tang Su, speechless, picked it up and pre-emptively said, “Don’t try to sell
anything, I’m not interested in loans, won’t be attending any events. Is there anything else?”
It was so annoying. The call interrupted her dinner with Lu Han and even spoiled her image in front of him. No matter who was on the other end, they were committing a grave offense.
“…Tang Su, I’m at the entrance of Huanan Hospital. Have you finished your check-up?” Ye Sichen’s voice ca through.
“???”
Why had he gone to the hospital too?
“I’m having dinner, I finished the check-up a long ti ago.”
“Don’t hang up, Tang Su. Where are you? I’ll co over and find you. I need to talk to you about sothing important.”
“Ye Sichen, I have nothing important to discuss with you. If you keep harassing , I’m going to call the police.” Saying that, Tang Su hung up the phone.
How could Ye Sichen be so annoying?
Can’t they just break up and be done with it?
Why was he clinging like gum?
Lu Han, hearing Ye Sichen’s na, felt his eyes grow several degrees colder in an instant. Was this man truly so persistent and unrelenting?
