A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Chapter 86 Chef’s Special Ice Cream

The man was dressed in a dark black formal suit and sat diagonally opposite them not far away. The shadow of the dim chandelier outlined his majestic face like a god. His expression was stern and he ordered the waiter to order in a low voice.

Beside him was a female companion, Xia Yu.

For such a short moment, Xia Ling only felt that something was holding her heart, and it hurt - when she was alive in her previous life, he would never bring her to this restaurant, whether it was acting like a spoiled brat or having a bad temper. But now, He came with Xia Yu.

But soon, she suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart. Now that you've decided to make a clean break with the past, don't hold back any nostalgia. She turned her head and let her gaze fall on Li Lei's face. The man in front of her was the one who was kind to her in this life. He took her in, took risks to save her when she was in danger, would try every means to make her happy, and would also Soothe her good-naturedly...

She didn't know what Li Lei thought of her, but she couldn't feel his sincerity.

"What do you want me to do?" Li Lei smiled and pushed the appetizer in front of her, "It's a delicious caviar and kale salad. The preparation method here is very special. It's sweeter and more refreshing than other places. You will definitely like it. .”

He has always been very professional when it comes to food.

Xia Ling lowered her head and took a sip. It was indeed good, so she smiled at him.

Soups, main dishes, hot dishes, cold dishes...the dishes are served one after another, all cooked with great care and attention. Li Lei helped her pass salt and condiments while chatting with her. She had a bad voice, but he talked and she listened the whole time. He was good at guiding the conversation, picking out anecdotes that interested her and telling her one by one. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

The soft light illuminates her porcelain-white delicate face, which is quiet and beautiful.

Pei Ziheng and Xia Yu's dishes were also served. Pei Ziheng raised his hand to pick up the knife and fork, and was about to eat when he accidentally saw two people sitting diagonally across from each other not far away. His hand shook slightly, and the fork made a crisp sound on the edge of the disk.

For someone like him who has been raised by a rich family for many generations, it is very rude to make such a noise.

Xia Yu was startled, but he didn't notice it at all.

His gaze was coldly fixed on Xia Ling not far away, staring at her radiant cheeks, fair and slender neck, round and beautiful shoulders...her crow-green bun exuded gorgeous beauty under the light. The luster, the inadvertent movement of the hand and the side of the head are all so vivid and charming that people can't take their eyes away.

Damn it, isn't she just a bitch? But why, when she smiled at Li Lei, did he feel so uncomfortable?

"Brother Zi Heng..." Xia Yu looked at his expression carefully, seeing that his eyes were fixed on Xia Ling and couldn't move away, and she was filled with crazy jealousy in her heart. Why is this bitch here? Who is the man next to her? He looks so handsome and rich. How could she fall in love with such a high-quality man? How does she deserve it? !

But...that's okay.

Xia Yu's sharp nails dug into her palms, so that she would not come to snatch Zi Heng's brother.

Xia Yu reluctantly suppressed the resentment in her heart, and on the surface, she showed a simple and pitiful smile: "Brother Ziheng, isn't that Ye Xingling over there? Who is the person next to her? Is he her boyfriend?"

Pei Ziheng turned back suddenly and glanced at her coldly.

Xia Yu was almost frozen by his eyes and was so scared that she couldn't speak.

Fortunately for her, these words still had an effect. Pei Ziheng's eyes retracted from there and fell back to her side of the dining table. He cut the veal steak on the dinner plate one by one, with cold eyes but very careful movements.

Xia Yu looked at him with admiration: "Brother Ziheng, you cut so fast. I don't have enough strength to cut it."

Pei Ziheng cut the veal steak, carefully poured the sauce on it, and served it.

Xia Yu looked at him eagerly.

She sat at the small square table, within reach to the left of Pei Ziheng.

However, Pei Ziheng's hand holding the dinner plate passed her and was placed on the other side of her, opposite him. Opposite him, a set of empty cutlery, a small half glass of red wine, and the veal steak he had just cut were neatly placed.

"Your sister is very lazy," his deep and mellow voice sounded. Although he was talking to Xia Yu, his eyes were looking at the empty seat opposite, "I usually have to cut a steak before eating it, and I am also picky about the sauce. I am I should have brought her to this store earlier, so many dishes have her favorite taste, she will definitely be... very happy."

His voice trailed off.

Xia Yu lowered her head and looked sad, but she concealed the jealousy in her eyes from an angle that he couldn't see. She came to this store today because she had been persistently asking for it, and the reason she used was to "fulfill her sister's lifetime wish." If not for this reason, Pei Ziheng would not have come here with her at all.

When he agreed to bring her, she was filled with joy, thinking that they could finally go on a date.

However, he didn't expect that when he got here, he wouldn't let her sit face to face. Instead, he asked the waiter to put out a complete set of empty tableware, ordered Xia Ling's favorite dishes, poured wine, paid homage and reminisced!

He even cut veal steak and cloth for the dead woman and ignored her!

Xia Yu is unwilling to give in! Very unwilling!

Why is that dead woman still firmly occupying brother Zi Heng's heart? !

Xia Yu was so angry that her teeth were about to break, but there was nothing she could do, because if it hadn't been for that dead woman's influence, it would have been impossible for her to sit next to him and dine with him!

Others envied her for being so pampered by Boss Pei.

Only Xia Yu knew in her heart that all this was done for the sake of another woman.

In his eyes, she will always be just "Xia Ling's sister".

Xia Yu bit her lower lip so hard that it bled.

"Good evening, distinguished gentlemen and ladies." A soft female voice sounded in the restaurant, "It's an honor for you to come to the annual Beginning of Summer Festival at Four Seasons Restaurant. It's the most exciting time of the year again, and we The chef has carefully prepared an ice cream that will be served to a lucky lady here tonight.”

All the dining guests turned their heads and looked at the host table.

The host dressed in a formal dress smiled: "Then, according to the old rules, the auction begins - this year's chef's special ice cream has a base price of 3,000 yuan, and the price increase starts from 1,000 yuan. I wish you all good luck."

Every year, the ownership of the chef's special ice cream is determined through an auction. Although the base price of 3,000 yuan is already a crazy high price compared to its cost, it cannot stop many rich and powerful men from picking up girls. heart of. Compared with the girl’s happiness, what does 3,000 yuan mean?

"I'll pay 4,000!" Soon someone started bidding.

"I'll pay 5,000!"

"I'm 6000!"

"I'm ten thousand!"
