My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 493 - 004: Did I offend you in any way?
Nan Jiayan listened and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He glanced subconsciously at Lu Shishu, who was sitting opposite him, and explained, "Aunt Qi misunderstood, she’s not my girlfriend yet!"
"Oh, I see! It seems I misunderstood. But this is the first time I’ve seen you bring a girl here to eat. You usually come with those few friends of yours, so I thought maybe you got a girlfriend over the summer! And such a beautiful one at that." The lady boss smiled awkwardly, looking at Lu Shishu a few more times. She really thought this girl was genuinely beautiful, her standard oval face was very delicate. Even without makeup, it was hard to take one’s eyes off her, even she, as a woman, couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
Thinking to herself that these two standing together truly embodied the ideal couple, a match made in heaven.
Lu Shishu listened to the lady boss’s words but didn’t show much reaction or change in expression, just politely smiled at the lady boss.
The lady boss, receiving Lu Shishu’s smile, her smile deepened a bit: "Well, take a look at what you’d like to eat?"
"Let’s have the dishes we often ordered before! They’re also your restaurant’s signature dishes." Nan Jiayan laughed, looking at Lu Shishu: "Can you handle spicy food?"
"It’s alright, I don’t mind it." Lu Shishu replied casually, taking a light sip from the glass of water brought by the waiter and silently turned her gaze away.
Nan Jiayan gestured to the lady boss, who understood and smiled, saying, "Alright, you sit tight, I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare your dishes, they’ll be ready soon! If you need anything, just call for Youyou."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Qi." As he watched the lady boss leave, Nan Jiayan turned his gaze back to Lu Shishu’s pretty face, raising his eyebrows, and asked with a laugh, "Speaking of which, I seem to not know your name yet!"
"Lu Shishu." When it came to her name, Lu Shishu wasn’t stingy. It wasn’t something worth hiding anyway. Since they had met in the same classroom this morning, it meant they would have chances to meet again in the future, knowing names was just a matter of time, so she didn’t make a fuss about it.
Nan Jiayan nodded with a smile: "Lu Shishu? It sounds nice, I’m Nan Jiayan."
"Hmm." Lu Shishu responded indifferently. She wasn’t very interested in his name, and on top of that, she hadn’t really planned to have much interaction with him.
When the dishes they ordered were served one after another, Nan Jiayan made a gesture with his eyes to her: "Taste it, this place may be small but the food is really good."
Lu Shishu picked up her chopsticks, tasting some vegetables and then some meat. The flavor was indeed very nice. She nodded with satisfaction and asked without much thought, "I see you’re quite familiar with the lady boss here, you must’ve come here often before!"
"Hmm, I come here to eat whenever I have time, with a few friends." Nan Jiayan nodded with a smile, "Because the taste here gives a sense of home."
Lu Shishu looked at the three homely dishes on the table. Though not strikingly presented, they were colorful, aromatic, and delicious, indeed carrying a bit of a homely feel. She’s always been especially independent; basically, since the second year of middle school, she’s been living at school. Such homely dishes are only something she could eat during holidays when she returned home. But the feeling outside didn’t make her feel lonely, from middle school to university, Cen Jin and Yu Feici were always by her side. She’s naturally sociable and energetic, never getting melancholic. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Lu Shishu’s appetite wasn’t very large, and she was habitually light on dinner, also preferring bland flavors, not fond of greasy food. So after eating half a bowl of rice, she put down her chopsticks, took a sip of water to rinse her mouth, and took a napkin to gently wipe the corners of her mouth.
Nan Jiayan, sitting across from her, saw this, noticed not much of the dishes were eaten, and the half bowl of rice left by her side, his always sunny and handsome face rarely frowned: "You’re done eating already?"
"Yes, I’m done."
"Just this little?" This left Nan Jiayan a bit surprised: "You didn’t eat much, did you? Or do these dishes not suit your taste? Should we order a few more of your favorites?"
"No need, I’ve genuinely eaten enough, I don’t like eating too much at night, this was just right, and... the food was quite good." She’s always been a disciplined person, never easily breaking her own rules on such matters, even Cen Jin and Yu Feici, who love eating, couldn’t sway her.
