Chapter 519: Makes One Happy Simply By Looking

He Niancheng had brought her to a posh Western restaurant.

It was Gu Qingjiu’s first time coming to such a place.

Despite being situated in the bustling city center, the restaurant interior had an elegant and tranquil environment.

A chef with at least a 2.5-star rating individually served every customer.

The highest star rating in the culinary world internationally was merely only three stars.

The chefs would prepare food on the spot for the customers.

Since it was her first time there, Gu Qingjiu was amazed by how impressive and expensive-looking this place was.

She and He Niancheng sat beside the long table, and there was elegant and pleasant Jazz music playing in the background. On another side, there was a chef pan-searing a steak.

The fragrance wafting through the air tantalized Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu, who was hungry, felt her stomach rumbling even more.

She kept glancing towards the chef with a watering mouth.

“Qingjiu.”

Hearing He Niancheng calls her, she responded with a hum. And then she turned her vision towards He Niancheng.

There was a hint of a smile in He Niancheng’s cold eyes. “Are you very hungry?”

Gu Qingjiu swallowed her saliva and nodded.

Hungry to begin with, and with that fragrance entering her nostrils, she felt even more greedy for food.

Being tempted felt terrible that she felt like she could even finish a roasted suckling pig if presented with one.

Hearing this, the chef revealed a smile. After searing the fresh and tender steak for another minute, the chef sprinkled some condiments.

After plating it exquisitely, he first delivered the plate to Gu Qingjiu after getting approval from He Niancheng.

“Miss, you may taste it now. But be careful, it’s still hot.”

Gu Qingjiu’s eyes sparkled as she stared at this steak. Still, she held back the urge and asked the Chief Instructor, “Chief Instructor, do you want to eat first?”

“You can eat first.”

He Niancheng chuckled. “Greedy little cat.”

These three words exuded a heartwarming dotingness.

“I’m not greedy. Just extremely hungry…

sss.

..”

Because of her haste, she nearly drooled by accident while speaking.

How embarra.s.sing!

With a slightly flushed face, Gu Qingjiu picked up the fork and knife and cut a small piece of delicate meat and fed it to He Niancheng. “Chief Instructor, try the first piece.”

Under the young lady’s antic.i.p.ating gaze, He Niancheng gently edged closer to that piece of meat and gently bit it.

It was a rather normal action, but he had fixed his gaze on Gu Qingjiu throughout.

Gu Qingjiu felt like she was about to drown in that gentle gaze, so she shyly retracted her own.

“Tastes pretty good…”

He elegantly chewed the steak and gave a soft compliment.

Perhaps because Gu Qingjiu had fed it to him, there was a different taste to it.

The chef was all smiles. “Thank you, sir.”

To hear the patron comment that the food tasted good was the greatest compliment to a chef.

Gu Qingjiu also quickly cut another piece and placed it into her mouth.

Since she was prepared, she wasn’t so anxious this time.

The hot and wonderful texture was as though the steak was melting in her mouth.

It was so delicious that Gu Qingjiu thought she might fly or something.

Her eyes were narrowed in a blissful smile.

To be able to eat something so yummy when one was famished was simply the most blissful thing that could happen.

“Mm, delicious! Tastes good!”

When one is hungry, their taste buds tend to be less picky. Naturally, Gu Qingjiu didn’t stinge with her praise.

“Since you find it delicious, I’ll bring you back again next time.”

He Niancheng’s serving was ready now. He brought the plate over and was in a particularly good mood as he watched Gu Qingjiu eat.

This little thing makes one feel happy simply by looking.
