the important task of ordering the food was given to little baili shangxie.

in the words of baili jia jue, since he was all grown up now, he should learn how to do it himself.

once again, helian wei wei felt like something was wrong with their family education.

baili shangxie had no comments. he enjoyed spending money on his mother and younger brother, not to mention the fact that he now had an income. his red eyes skimmed through the menu and finally fell on the main course. “hand-rolled noodles. ”

the server lowered his head and jotted down the order.

baili shangxie pondered for a while, then spoke quietly, “serve me everything else except for this, and two bottles of wine please.”

the server was stupefied upon listening to this…

everything else except for the hand-rolled noodles?!

the server turned his head to look at the adults, i shouldn't listen to this unruly kid, better to wait for the adults to make up their minds, he thought.

“as per his order, thank you.” helian wei wei looked extremely polite when she smiled.

the server was completely dumbfounded!

how could the adults behave in such a manner!

“uhmm, dear guests, for your information, we serve authentic beef and mutton that are different from the meat that is sold outside. the portion is definitely too big for two adults and two children. why don't you guys reconsider your order?” the server had a beijing accent and his service was excellent.

helian wei wei liked this kind of typical beijing native the most. once again, she thanked him, “master, i know you're being kind-hearted, but you can rest a.s.sured because we have a large appet.i.te.”

upon listening to that, the server did not see fit to give them more advice. he could only wonder how they could ever finish eating everything.

with all the food served, there were 28 dishes on meat alone, not to mention various kinds of meatb.a.l.l.s, tofu, vegetables, and vermicelli.

three carts were used to place the ingredients due to the fact that their table could not fit anymore.

all servers doubted they could finish all the dishes.

however, everyone was taken by surprise…it only took an hour, just an hour, for them to empty two out of the three carts.

when the server went in to refill the broth in the copper pot, they were already eating the dishes on the third cart, and their table manners were fairly gracious.

ironically, the ingredients could be gulped down in the blink of an eye!

who are these people?

did they just come out from the mountains after robbing the tombs, and therefore haven't eaten for a long time?

even so, isn't this savage?

28 plates full of meat, gone…just like that!

what seemed even more out of line was that the beautiful woman among them actually touched her belly and said, “i don't think i'm full enough. forget it, let's have supper after we get home.”

the server was speechless. where did this woman come from!

when they were paying the bill, the cashier's hands trembled as the bill was too long. he thought he got the wrong invoice when he raised his head and saw the family of four in front of him, but he did not! it was indeed for the four of them!

the cashier felt a sense of dizziness while settling their bill as if he had stumbled into an illusory world.

do children nowadays have such a big appet.i.te?

fortunately, helian wei wei and her family were sitting in the private room. otherwise, it would definitely attract people's attention when plates of meat were constantly being served, and empty plates were quickly being removed.

however, helian wei wei genuinely felt that she was not full yet. after returning to the villa, her stomach felt empty again.

this time, she did not cook herself. just when she wanted to head to the kitchen, baili jia jue grabbed her hand and said, “what do you want to eat? i will cook for you.”

“steak.” helian wei wei knew that the only dish that his highness could make was steak. he did cook for her once back when they were in hoh xil. unfortunately, it had gone to waste as her body was too weak to consume any food at that time. it would be a pleasure if she could taste it now.

baili jia jue responded lightly with the word “okay”. dressed in his black loungewear, he stood gracefully in the kitchen and took out the olive oil and red wine with his slender fingers. as he put the steak into the frying pan, the seductive sizzling sound was heard, and the whole room was then filled with the aroma of cooked meat.

it was an open-plan kitchen. helian wei wei could see such a beautiful view just by sitting on a high chair. some men were great husbands to be married to – take his highness as an example, the scene of him frying a steak looked very much like a magazine cover shoot.

he seemed to have noticed the gaze from helian wei wei. while baili jia jue was waiting for the steak, he casually placed one hand in his pocket and signaled her to come over with another hand.

as soon as helian wei wei got closer, she was kissed.

sure enough, the breath was different compared to hers.

the man's lips were always soft and cool, full of the charming fragrance of mint sandalwood.

in most cases, helian wei wei would want to seize the initiative, but every time, she was overpoweringly suppressed by the man. “kiss later, i'm still frying the steak.”

his words made it sound like she was being needy.

however, he was the one who kissed her first.

helian wei wei knew very well that she was lagging far behind the man in terms of skills, so she did not want to dwell on this issue. seeing that a small piece of steak was being cut and offered to her, she immediately took a bite.

baili jia jue always had unprecedented patience when feeding helian wei wei.

the two of them held a plate of steak and nested on the couch, feeding each other one bite after another. the gla.s.s next to them was filled with wine, and the french window in front showed the night view of the entire capital. the bustling city resembled countless stars.

helian wei wei had seen such a night view in the past when she regained her mother's property.

however, at that point in time, all she could feel was loneliness.

it was different now.

the saying was right after all, regardless of the scenery, what's important is the person who enjoys it with you.

“all finished.” baili jia jue held helian wei wei in his arms and tilted his face slightly. there was something brewing in his eyes, “are you still hungry now?”

helian wei wei paused for a moment to feel her stomach, then yawned. “i'm not hungry anymore, but i want to sleep.”

sleeping right after eating.

baili jia jue looked at the person who was lying on the bed. she was exceptionally quiet every time she fell asleep. as always, her fine, fair wrist was rested aside and her chestnut-colored, long curly hair straggled at the side, giving an enduring sense of beauty.

back in those days, the dharma of the phoenix did not challenge buddhism with the most beautiful dharma for no reason.

if it was not because her soul had previously been extracted, baili jia jue would think that perhaps she got pregnant again.

however now, baili jia jue's intuition told him that helian wei wei's reaction was somehow related to the past extraction of her soul…
