Chapter 164 - Dinner at a Family Restaurant

"You seem preoccupied, are you alright?" Lim Yi Sheng looked at his wife with worry upon seeing that she's been in a daze ever since they came from Xi Corporation earlier.

They are already on their way to place where they will have their dinner but Lim Yi Sheng can't help but worry. He reach out and gently grabbed her hand before giving it a squeeze.

This made Xi Ana turn sideways to look at Lim Yi Sheng with a smile. Unknown to her, this smile almost made Lim Yi Shen's heart melt into a puddle. Saying that it's been a while since he last saw this smile from Xi Ana is really not an exaggeration.

"There are just some things I'm thinking of but it's not really something to worry about." since Xi Ana didn't tell him about it then he decided not to inquire further lest it would make her uncomfortable.

"If that is so then I would not ask anymore. Since we're gonna eat in a while, try not to think too much or you might get indigestion."

"Anyway, didn't you tell me a few days ago that you missed my cooking then why did you suggest that we eat out now?"

It is indeed true that he missed his wife's cooking. For him, the dishes that were made by Xi Ana is even better than the ones that were done by the chefs from Michelin restaurants not only because he can taste the care Xi Ana has for him through her cooking.

"There is never a day that I didn't wish for you to cook for me but for now I'll just endure a little bit more. I know you've been busy that you didn't even have enough time to take care of yourself and if I, as your husband forced you to cook even knowing all that then I shouldn't have married you but a maid instead."

These words somehow made Xi Ana chuckle, "Although I am not a maid, I am still your wife and I have the responsibility to cook for you if you ant me to so next time don't think too much about it okay? It's not like cooking a few simple dishes would take too much time."

Aside from the serious conversations that they share from time to time, this kind of idle talk is also one of the things that he enjoys doing with her.

"Alright, whatever my wife says this husband would follow." and soon the melodious laughter of his wife rang inside the car.

It didn't take long before they finally reach the place. This time they didn't go to a fancy and luxurious restaurant because their attires were not really appropriate and they also wanted to relax and going to a simple restaurant didn't require so much etiquette.

Furthermore, this restaurant is good and it's a lot closer to Imperial as compare to the other restaurants they usually go to.

"Hello, auntie. I was the one who reserved a private room earlier, my name is Yi Sheng."

When the elderly woman heard what Lim Yi Sheng said she suddenly realized that it was really him, "Oh, look at me, How could I forget such a handsome customer. Please pardon me, I'll lead the way."

This place is actually a family restaurant that has been inherited from three generations, although it is not as popular nor as luxurious as other places business is still comparatively good.

The elderly woman is actually the owner of this place and her attitude towards Xi Ana and Lim Yi Sheng earlier is actually very normal of her because she really did not know that many people in the higher pedestal of the society. All people in suits are all the same in her eyes.

As soon as the husband and wife settled inside their private room, people began serving their dishes which surprised Xi Ana a little, "Aren't we supposed to order first?"

"Supposedly, but when I reserved a while ago I asked if we could request for the dishes to be served immediately the auntie said it is fine as long we will stick to the time I indicated and as for the dishes, as long as they are on the menu then it is okay to request for them to be prepared in advance just in time for the guests arrival."

Both of them have already eaten in places like this but that was when they still have so much leisure on their hand and those times can only be counted by their fingers.

With their bearing, it is very rare for them to eat at a family restaurant like this and it is even more impossible for them to conduct a meeting in place like this where people come and go and the private rooms weren't really that sound-proofed.

Though that is how one would usually perceive family restaurants, there is one thing that you cannot taste from those Michelin restaurants that you can only taste here, it is the taste of home.

The two of them started eating they can't help but appreciate the dishes, "It's good, it's no surprise why this place is always bustling with people." Xi Ana commented.

Since they always use this road going home to Imperial Residence they would always see this place crowded with people whenever they pass by but they really didn't give it much of a though but now that they tasted their dishes, this might not be the only time they will be dining here.

Lim Yi Sheng was also satisfied with the taste and seeing that his wife is genuinely enjoying her meal he was glad that he was surprisingly intrigued by this place earlier that he ended up reserving a room here.

"If you want, we can eat here from time to time whenever we're free."

"Uhm."

This is indeed an amazing discovery. In the future, they might even buy takeouts from here and they will be satisfied.
