Chapter 40 - II
Loud applause erupted from the audience. Fan Qingyue and Li Siwen were at the front holding several ribbon spray cans. With a “pop” sound, they sprayed into the sky, and fine ribbons and sequins fell on Xie Qi’s head and shoulders.
Xie Qi glanced at the two of them. They had already finished their meal, and their cheeks were still bulging, but they still came to join in the fun.
Xie Qi lowered his voice and asked Qin Yizhi straightforwardly: “When can we eat?”
“…” Qin Yizhi lowered his eyes at him and asked in a low voice: “Are you hungry?”
Xie Qi said: “I’m not that hungry. But I want to eat.”
Qin Yizhi paused and noticed that Xie Qi kept looking toward his two friends, knowing that he seemed to be more willing to eat, drink, and have fun with his friends than to be on the stage with him, “… Come down, go eat.”
It ended quickly indeed.
Qin Yizhi probably hated the festive, so he took him directly to dinner. There were a few beautiful girls with good figures on the stage who started dancing to add to the fun.
Xie Qi wanted to go to them, but Qin Yizhi’s hand was still holding his hand tightly, so Xie Qi calmed down. At this time, of course, he had to be with Qin Yizhi, after all… they already married.
Xie Qi asked Qin Yizhi: “Are we going to toast?”
Qin Yizhi said: “No need. If you want to meet someone, I’ll take you there. If you don’t want to meet someone, you don’t have to go.”
Xie Qi quickly replied: “Then I don’t want to go.”
Qin Yizhi lowered his head slightly and looked at him, the corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a very faint smile, but he quickly restrained it, not letting Xie Qi see it.
They sat at the same table. Yao Wenzhu, Jiang Sining and Shan Tongxu were all there, and there were a few others. Xie Qi didn’t know them, but judging by their age, they should all be Qin Yizhi’s brothers, right?
So, all these people were all Qin Yizhi’s brothers and sisters…? That was indeed a big family.
He sat and looked at a table full of delicacies, but no one moved their chopsticks, so he had to hold back, especially… He looked down and saw that Qin Yizhi was still holding his hand. Did he… forget?
Xie Qi couldn’t help but lower his voice and said, “Can you let go now?”
Qin Yizhi paused and let go of Xie Qi’s hand, “Sorry.”
There was no need to apologize. But Qin Yizhi’s hands were really hot, and made Xie Qi’s palm sweating. It was really embarrassing. He didn’t care whether the suit was expensive or not, so he quietly wiped the hand on his trousers.
After wiping them clean, he dared to take out his hands, held the chopsticks, and wanted to pick up some food. No one was using the chopsticks. He glanced at Jiang Sining. She was really obedient now and didn’t dare to move her chopsticks.
But even if today was a big day, they still had other things to talk about at the dinner table. The Qin family didn’t care about Xie Qi and Jiang Sining, and directly talked to Qin Yizhi about business matters, “Brother, Qin Lingyun…” He hasn’t said anything yet. But Qin Yizhi glanced at him lightly and interrupted: “We won’t talk about this today, let’s eat.”
He said, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of ribs for Xie Qi, and whispered: “Eat.”
Xie Qi: “Oh, thank you.”
Seeing how polite he was, Qin Yizhi frowned slightly and said nothing.
Shan Tongxu moved the dish and said to Xie Qi: “Xiao Qi, this is the signature dish of Jinyu Hotel, crispy brains with lime and sea salt. It melts in your mouth. Try it.”
Xie Qi noticed that she had changed her attitude, which made Xie Qi feel a little more comfortable. He had no objection to Shan Tongxu, and he didn’t hate her.
He also smiled and responded to her: “Okay, I will.”
But in his heart, he thought, he didn’t even like brain stuff. He didn’t dare to eat it.
But with so many people watching, he couldn’t show his timidity at this time.
He calmly picked up a piece and found that it didn’t look like brains on the surface, but was cut into chunks, with soup dripping from the surface, and looked very delicious.
If Shan Tongxu didn’t say the real ingredient, he would have eaten it with his eyes open, but now, uh…
This should be fine, Xie Qi put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a soft texture and a fresh taste. Hm… it was really delicious.
Xie Qi finished the piece while struggling, “…it’s quite delicious.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yizhi stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a few more pieces for him.
Xie Qi: “…”
Xie Qi silently moved the brains in his bowl into Qin Yizhi’s bowl, and said in a caring tone: “Husband, you can eat it too.”
He quickly picked up a few more other dishes, and put it to cover the brains in Qin Yizhi’s bowl.
“…” Qin Yizhi frowned slightly when he saw the carrots, he disliked the most.
