"I want lobster." Xia Xiaomin wasn't referring to the lobster in the restaurant, but the roadside stall. As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized that with Zhong Luozhuang's high status, he probably wouldn't accept roadside stalls. She quickly shook her head, "Forget it, I'll not eat anymore."

"Why not?" Zhong Luochen started the car, "Let's go eat some lobsters. Let's go."

Zhong Luozhuang brought her to a high-end restaurant.

Looking at the exotic decorations, Xia Xiaomin thought, "Will there be a lobster for me in this kind of place?" No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like it!

Xia Xiaomin tugged on Zhong Luozheng's sleeve. "Did we go in the wrong place?" she asked softly.

Zhong Luozheng stopped walking. "You don't want to eat this kind of taste?"

At this moment, a waiter led them to a window seat and placed them on the menu.

Xia Xiaomin opened the menu suspiciously, frowning even more. This guy really knew how to misunderstand. She wanted to eat Thirteen Fragrant Lobsters, not such a high-end Australian lobster.

Sigh, nevermind. She couldn't possibly drag the tycoon to the roadside stall to eat! Xia Xiaomin lowered her head to study the menu.

Zhong Luozhan saw that she was not interested, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you were coming to eat lobster? "

"There's nothing I want to eat here, order." Xia Xiaomin shook her head, pushing the thick menu in front of Zhong Luozhuang.

"Then you can order whatever you want. If you don't, let them cook it." Zhong Luozheng didn't care in the slightest. He didn't believe that he would be unable to fulfill such a small wish of hers.

Xia Xiaomin lifted her head and grabbed the waiter who was standing beside Zhong Luozhan. She asked with a serious expression, "Thirteen Fragrant Lobster, do you have one?"

As expected, the waiter had a troubled expression. After some thought, he confirmed, "Miss, you're talking about …"

Zhong Luozhan frowned and asked, "You don't understand human speech?"

Just by stomping his foot on the ground, more than half of the restaurants in the entire city would fall. He was the super VIP of this hotel. Not to mention that the waiter couldn't afford to offend him, the boss would probably even beg to clean his shoes for him.

Seeing that Young Master Zhong's air conditioner was even more powerful than the one in the shop, the waiter was scared to the point that his back turned cold. He answered carefully and with fear, "Boss Zhong, I'm sorry, but we … None... "This dish …"

"There will be more in the future." Zhong Luochen replied matter-of-factly.

"Boss Zhong …" We don't have any ingredients. "

Zhong Luozhan's cold eyes swept over the annoying waiter, knowing where he got his good temper from. "If you don't have any ingredients, go buy some from another store."

The attendant nodded repeatedly, then retreated.

Xia Xiaomin saw the waiter wipe his sweat before leaving, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He lightly patted Zhong Luochen's hand, "Let's not eat here, okay?" I'll take you somewhere else, near here. "

"Thirteen Fragrant Lobster?" Zhong Luozhuang hesitated for a moment before confirming her words. "Can I trust you?"

Xia Xiaomin nodded earnestly. "I'll keep you in mind for once."

Zhong Luochen nodded. Xia Xiaomin picked up her bag and they walked out of the restaurant side by side. When the waiter called for an apology, they had already driven to the place Xiaomin had told them.

Zhong Luoyan took a glance at the store. There was a bunch of umbrellas outside the door, and the men were eating something steaming with half of their bodies exposed. The shouts and toasts rose and fell one after another.

The veins on Zhong Luozhuang's forehead were popping. He really didn't know why he had gone crazy and come to this place with her.

Even with a radius of 10 miles, he felt that there was no place he could set his feet in!

Xia Xiaomin accompanied him with a smile. She understood that she had been wronged by his presence and quickly consoled him by saying, "Don't worry. The taste here is very good. I often come to eat. It's very hygienic. The second floor has rooms, so it won't be too noisy. "

Then, ignoring Zhong Luozheng's suspicious eyes, Xia Xiaomin dragged him to the second floor.

Zhong Luozheng's gaze fell on his wrist, Xia Qingyue's fair and small hand was currently holding onto him, gently holding onto his wrist.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. Perhaps, this crazy decision of his was not bad.

Zhong Luozhan didn't do anything, he only stared at the lobster on the plate, as if he was studying its texture. He had never eaten this before since he was young, so he really didn't know how to make a move.

Seeing that Xia Xiaomin was eating with relish, Zhong Luozheng was hungry. As someone as aloof and cold as him, he naturally wouldn't ask Xia Xiaomin for advice.

Zhong Luozhan's hand was just about to touch it when it was scalded. He was prepared to use his chopsticks to try it, but he realized that it didn't seem to work either.

Xia Xiaomin glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, noticing that he looked like a helpless child. She pursed her lips and smiled.

She then quickly peeled off the shell and dipped some of the meat into the soup, putting it into Zhong Luozhuang's bowl without any hesitation. Seeing him raise his head, she used her chin to signal him, "Hurry up and eat, otherwise this bowl will be all in my stomach."

"Alright."

Zhong Luozheng picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth before chewing it slowly. He looked indescribably elegant and noble, which was indeed out of place in this place.

Xia Xiaomin was not in the mood to care about this. She swallowed her words and asked, "How is it?" "Is it delicious?"

"Not bad." Zhong Luozhuang nodded and added, "The chefs here can go participate in the chef competition now."

Xia Xiaomin's mouth twitched in disbelief. "Are you for real?"

"You only have the qualifications to participate in the competition, but if you want to advance, it's naturally impossible."

Zhong Luozheng commented shamelessly. He used his chopsticks and pointed at the lobster in Xia Xiaomin's hand, telling her to peel it for him.

Xia Xiaomin didn't think much of it. She peeled off one after another, but was still thinking about his judgment. "How can you be so sure?"

"I've been a judge of the National Chef Competition before." Actually, he was too lazy to mention that there was even an international level.

"Really?" Xia Xiaomin stared at him in disbelief. "You're that amazing?"

"What's so amazing about that?" Zhong Luozhan didn't take this seriously at all, "Being a judge is boring, so I went there once."

Although he was invited by the organizers of the competition every year, he always refused the invitations.

Xia Xiaomin rolled her eyes, turned around, and ordered a beer.

"You want to drink?" Zhong Luozhan raised his eyes. "I'm driving."

"You can call Uncle Wu to come and pick him up!" Xia Xiaomin poured him a glass of cold beer and indicated that he should finish it quickly.

Xia Xiaomin narrowed her eyes as she watched him finish the wine in one gulp. "You should drink beer from a lobster, shouldn't you?"

Feel it? Zhong Luozhuang glanced at his empty cup, hoping that he wouldn't have a tummy attack tomorrow.

Zhong Luozheng stopped eating very quickly and wiped his lips gracefully with a napkin.

Xia Xiaomin, on the other hand, ate happily. Occasionally, she would peel a few of them and place them in Zhong Luozhuang's bowl. He ate them with a great deal of face.

"I apologize for what happened this morning." Zhong Luozhuang said solemnly.

"What did you say?" Xia Xiaomin's lobster dropped into the bowl with a splash. Did she hear it right? The dignified Director Zhong could actually apologize?

Zhong Luochen repeated again, "This morning I was a little angry."

Xia Xiaomin resisted the urge to cry and continued to eat her lobster. After a long while, she said, "Come and drink a few more cups with me."

After drinking a few cups of wine, Xia Xiaomin bolstered her courage. She pondered over what she should say after a long time of criticism. Otherwise, she wouldn't have another chance.

Taking a few deep breaths, Xia Xiaomin poured Zhong Luozheng another glass of beer and asked tentatively, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Ask away."

"That's right …" Xia Xiaomin bit her lower lip out of habit, but seeing that there was no trace of impatience, she thought for a while and gathered her thoughts.

"If... You have a friend... No, it's someone you know working in your hotel, but she accidentally did something … Un, compare... A grave mistake, you... You will... "What should we do?"

Finally, she asked. Xia Xiaomin secretly let out a sigh of relief inside her heart …

Zhong Luozhan glanced at her, then pushed his wine cup outwards. "So this is a Hongmen feast after all this time?"

"No!" What makes you think that? " Xia Xiaomin waved her hand and burped innocently, "I'm just a little curious."

Curiosity?

Zhong Luozheng obviously wasn't stupid enough to believe Xia Xiaomin's words. He immediately straightened his face and asked, "What did you do wrong?"

Xia Xiaomin didn't expect him to figure it out so quickly. She felt guilty, but pretended to be calm as she looked up at him. "It wasn't me, I already said it …" "If, I mean if …"

"Did I really make a mistake?" Zhong Luozhuang held the cup and turned it carelessly, but his gaze was still fixed on her expression.

Xia Xiaomin nodded her head, and then she heard him say, "Just be official. Even a good brother like Huo Tao will be punished if he makes a mistake under my hand."

"Oh." Xia Xiaomin replied.

Naturally, she knew that she couldn't compare to Huo Tao. It seemed that if Zhong Luochen found out about the loss of the recipe, then he would really leave.

Xia Xiaomin's face, which had turned slightly red from the alcohol, paled when she heard his words.

Her appetite vanished without a trace. Xia Xiaomin looked at the half-full bowl of lobster and said dejectedly, "I'm tired. Let's go back."

Zhong Luozhan frowned. Had this girl really gotten into trouble?

Xia Xiaomin insisted on paying the bill herself. Zhong Luozhuang thought that maybe this would make her feel better, so he put away his sense of gentleness.

Wu Bo brought the two of them back to the villa. On the way there, the atmosphere was gloomy, as if it was about to rain.

"Xia Xiaomin."

Zhong Luozhan stopped Xia Xiaomin who was about to go upstairs. He wanted to ask her what had happened, but the words rolled down his throat and turned into a simple instruction, "Sleep early."

Xia Xiaomin was shocked. Did he know? Impossible, she had never mentioned this to anyone.

Xia Xiaomin nodded, relieved by his words.

"Mm, you should go to bed early as well."

Zhong Luozhan watched Xia Xiaomin disappear up the stairs before taking out his phone to call Yun Xiang. "Help me investigate something."

After taking care of him, Zhong Luozhuang went upstairs.
