The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 839: You Think You’re the Only One Who Can Talk?
After a while.
Li Junyan walked out holding Huo Zijin’s hand.
Huo Zijin saw Lin Jinmo was also there and instantly gave a wry smile, "Second Brother, why are you here too?"
Lin Jinmo said, "I came to help Tinghan curry favor with his brother-in-law..."
Before he finished speaking.
Huo Tinghan gave his shoe a hard stomp.
Lin Jinmo’s facial features twisted slightly in pain, glaring at Huo Tinghan, "What are you doing!"
Huo Tinghan said, "Are you the only one with a mouth?"
Lin Jinmo: "Hmph."
Huo Zijin, a bit embarrassed, said, "Second Brother, I’m sorry, how about I carry some too?"
Her hands were empty, so she could carry a few things.
Lin Jinmo immediately showed a gentle smile, "It’s no trouble, it’s an honor to serve my sister."
Huo Tinghan slightly opened his mouth, "What about me?"
How come his sister only cared about the second brother, not him?
Huo Zijin looked at Huo Tinghan and immediately coaxed, "Big Brother, you look so strong and sturdy, so..."
Lin Jinmo’s smile quickly faded, "Oh... so you’re saying Second Brother is delicate and weak?"
Huo Zijin: "No!"
Lin Jinmo: "You’re not wrong, I am indeed a delicate flower, but as a brother, I still worry about my sister."
Whatever the sister says is correct.
No need for doubts.
Li Junyan slightly pursed his lips, "Alright, since you’re here to lend a hand, I’ll treat you both to dinner later."
In the shopping mall, an extremely eye-catching scene appeared.
A couple walked hand in hand, the man handsome and the woman charming, a feast for the eyes, yet behind them followed an entourage of housekeepers and two... well-dressed men.
The leading man in a dignified suit, faithfully carrying bags of various sizes, and the stylish man following carried slightly fewer.
In any case, their formation was grand, quite spectacular.
In the parking lot.
Lin Jinmo’s Mercedes G-Wagon was simply used as a "cargo truck."
Meanwhile, Huo Tinghan’s Ghost had a trunk full to the brim.
While organizing the bags in the back seat, he remarked speechlessly, "Junyan, next time you take my sister shopping, can you not drive that Aston Martin of yours?"
It can hardly fit anything.
Luckily, Jinmo drove the G-Wagon, otherwise, these things would have had to be sent back with the housekeepers.
The delivery is full, and even if the items are sent home, it’ll take three days.
To make sure his sister could wear new clothes to school tomorrow, beautifully, both brothers put in a lot of effort.
Huo Zijin looked at the full trunk of spoils and felt a bit overwhelmed.
When Lin Jinmo and Huo Tinghan finally finished organizing, they looked at the car full of bags, hands on hips, breathing heavily in perfect unison.
Huo Tinghan said coldly, "Junyan, you’re really squandering, so many clothes, aren’t they enough for you?"
Li Junyan replied lightly, "They’re all for Yinyin."
Huo Tinghan shifted his tone expressionlessly, "Yinyin should buy more clothes, being so beautiful, a natural clothes hanger. Next time, let’s have Dad come and help carry the bags too."
Li Junyan cast a cool glance at him, and the latter, feeling guilty, avoided his gaze.
Huo Tinghan: "Since we’ve contributed a lot of ’labor’, shouldn’t you treat us to a meal?"
Li Junyan: "Choose any restaurant you like."
Huo Tinghan: "Not very hungry, let’s just go to Yisu."
Yisu is a Kaiseki place, costing 12,000 per person.
Li Junyan: "Hmm, Yinyin, have you tried Kaiseki before?"
Huo Zijin shook her head, "Is Kaiseki tasty?"
Huo Tinghan: "It’s a type of Japanese cuisine, you can give it a try."
Huo Zijin: "Okay."
...
Kaiseki evolved from Japanese tea ceremonies.
In tea ceremonies, the food the host serves guests is called Kaiseki.
However, as of today, it’s no longer limited to tea ceremonies; in Japan, Kaiseki is high-end cuisine.
Arriving at the restaurant.
Li Junyan had booked a private room in advance.
The entire suite was designed like a Japanese garden, with some green bamboo, stone lamps, and neatly trimmed grass, giving off a tranquil Zen feel.
The presentation of the meal was notably ceremonial.
The appetizer was warming sea bream soup.
Huo Zijin took a sip, finding it fresh and light, the flavor subtle yet unique.
However...
She felt a bit unused to Japanese cuisine, being her first time trying it, especially with the continuous servings of sashimi and various exotic dishes.
"This is salmon..."
Huo Zijin looked at the fresh and tender salmon, hesitating for a moment.
Li Junyan asked, "It might be a bit cloying eating it plain, you can dip it in some soy sauce."
While he poured some dipping sauce for her, he asked, "Do you eat wasabi?"
Huo Zijin shook her head, "Is this horseradish?"
Li Junyan: "Horseradish?"
He raised his head, puzzled, looking at Huo Tinghan.
Huo Tinghan then looked toward the walking encyclopedia, Lin Jinmo.
Lin Jinmo said, "This isn’t horseradish, it’s fresh wasabi, but it’s a bit pungent, you might not enjoy it."
Curious, Huo Zijin used her chopsticks to dab a little, lightly placing it on her tongue.
"Don’t..."
Li Junyan wanted to stop her but it was too late.
The next second, Huo Zijin shut her eyes tightly, her nose turning red as a spicy sensation shot straight to her head, and immediately...
Her eyes welled up with tears.
Huo Tinghan found it immensely amusing.
Li Junyan picked up a handkerchief, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, asking with a helpless smile, "How is it?"
Huo Zijin said, "Uh... feels strange!"
Li Junyan: "If you don’t like it, don’t eat it. I’m not fond of wasabi either."
Huo Zijin picked up a piece of salmon, dipped it in soy sauce, and hesitantly brought it to her lips.
The three men watched her expectantly.
Huo Zijin closed her eyes and put it into her mouth, chewing delicately for a moment before her eyes brightened, "It’s pretty good, is this really raw?"
"Hmm."
It was Huo Zijin’s first time trying raw food, and she found it novel.
She had initially thought sashimi would be very fishy.
"Delicious!"
Huo Zijin discovered a new world and helped herself to another piece.
The next moment.
A serving of sashimi was lightly pushed in front of her.
Li Junyan said, "There’s more here, have some more."
Kaiseki is served as individual servings.
And the portions are small.
Knowing she had such a big appetite, he was worried she wouldn’t have enough.
Li Junyan looked at Huo Tinghan, changing the subject, "By the way, you called me, was there something you needed?"
Huo Tinghan said, "Tonight I have to record a show with Xixi, got four tickets, Xixi asked me to give you one."
Huo Zijin curiously asked, "Is it being recorded live?"
Huo Tinghan: "Yes, it’s pre-recorded, after recording it’ll be edited and then released next week."
Huo Zijin: "I want to go too."
Huo Tinghan: "Of course, I assumed you would."
Huo Zijin looked at Li Junyan, "Junjun Brother, are you going?"
Li Junyan: "What time? If it’s too early, I might not make it, I have to pick someone up in the afternoon."
