Chapter 10 Dinner
Yan Ce was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily, clapped his hands and said, "That's okay, I happen to be a little hungry too. I know there is a newly opened restaurant on Chiling Street in the south of the city, and the chef in his house is quite skilled. Well, it is well-known far and wide, from roasted duck to stir-fried shabu-shabu, especially famous for its 'Crystal Knuckle' and 'Boneless Plaice', which are both excellent and never tire of eating. How about I take you to try it together? "

Xue Mi cupped her hands graciously, and wiped away the drool from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, "You are welcome!"

Yan Ce has good eyesight, so he naturally caught a glimpse of her unsightly gesture, but smiled without saying a word.

When the carriage stopped at the entrance of Yuelai Restaurant, the sky was already covered with haze.

The thick and heavy clouds smeared the sky like a big iron pot with no cover, pressing on the top of the head, making people feel breathless.

Yan Ce led Xue Mi straight up to the private room on the second floor. Not long after she was seated, the waiter brought a large tray.

A silver hot pot was placed on the tray, and a very small brass stove sat under it, and the charcoal fire in the chamber was burning vigorously.

Various meatballs, meat slices and some seasonal vegetables are rolled in the hot pot, and plaice slices cut as thin as white paper are placed on the plate.

There are also two empty bowls, two pairs of silver chopsticks, and a pot of white rice.

Xue Mi smelled the aroma of the hot pot, and couldn't help licking her tongue, her appetite whetted.

"Come, eat while it's hot." Yan Ce handed her a bowl and greeted, "Have some soup first."

As he spoke, he poured himself a bowl of hot soup first, then put the flatfish fillets in the dish into the hot pot, and stirred them gently.

Xue Mi picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, only to feel warm all over, and the hunger in her stomach was swept away.

"Miss Xue San, do you like fish?" Yan Ce asked while giving her a bowl with meatballs and some leafy vegetables.

"Well, it's alright."

Xue Mi gulped at the rice.

She was so hungry that she devoured the meal as soon as she shook her cheek.

Yan Ce still remembered that Miss Mi also liked to eat fish, but she hated spitting out fishbone, and almost got her throat stuck several times.

So, since then, he has often taken her to eat plaice without bones.

Not long after, the fish fillets were cooked, Yan Ce put a few pieces of fat and juicy meat into Xue Mi's bowl.

Xue Mi thanked her and continued to feast.

Seeing that she was eating without regard for her image, Yan Ce couldn't help but covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Look at your gluttony, why don't you swallow your tongue together."

Xue Mi smiled at him, and continued busy eating, how could she have the time to argue with him!

Yan Ce watched her quietly, for a moment, he seemed to see the shadow of Mi Yatou from her.

Maybe it's because the longing is too urgent, and there is a so-called illusion.

Yan Ce shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the bowl and started to eat.

"Jian Lie, is your son in there?"

The two of you were eating hotly with one chopstick and the other with a spoon. At this moment, a man's clear voice sounded outside the door.

"Back to Mr. Zheng, my son is eating." Jian Lie saluted the man respectfully and said.

Zheng Shizi?
The chopsticks holding the fish fillet in Yan Ce's hand paused in the air, and he raised his eyes to the door.

"Haha, brother Tan Xian, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here without any problems!"

Following the words, a purple-robed man strode in, followed by a girl in a fiery red cloak. When she saw Yan Ce, she immediately showed joy.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhuo Yun. I didn't expect to meet you here." Yan Ce recognized the person, immediately got up and left his seat, and warmly greeted him with folded hands.

This couple is none other than Zheng Zhuoyun, the eldest son of Duke An, and his younger sister, Zheng Yirong.

"Mr. Tan, have you recovered from your illness? Why are you out and about?" Zheng Yirong stepped forward a few steps, took his hand, and asked with concern.

Yan Zhizhi moved her hand away in embarrassment, and smiled slightly: "Thanks to Miss Zheng, my body has almost recovered."

Turning to Zheng Zhuoyun again, he said: "Brother Zhuoyun must have not eaten yet, right? If you don't mind, please take a seat, and Zhenzhe will add some more delicacies for the two of you as a show of hospitality."

Zheng Zhuoyun was quite happy, patted him on the shoulder, laughed loudly and said: "Very good, very good, brother Tan Xian, remember to add two more pots of fine wine, I want to get drunk with you before we rest."

"Of course, Zhenzhe is willing to accompany you."

After Yan Ce and Jian Lie explained a few words, they led Zheng Zhuoyun and Zheng Yirong into the inner dining table.

At this time, Xue Mi was still sitting there as if nothing had happened, with a few spinach hanging on the chopsticks, soaked in a bowl of fish soup, and chewing a beef ball in her mouth for a long time.

In fact, she had eaten enough, but besides continuing to eat, she really couldn't find any other way to hide her inner anxiety.

The other party is the eldest son of An Guogong, and she shows her aristocratic temperament in her gestures. She can't handle such a big scene, so she should hurry up and slip away!
Brother and sister Zheng Zhuoyun saw Xue Mi at a glance, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment, Zheng Yirong especially widened his eyes.

"Isn't this Miss Xue San from the Marquis of Changqing? Why did you two eat together?" Zheng Yirong looked at Yan Ce with a look of astonishment, and there were various complex emotions in his eyes, including surprise, jealousy, and doubt. .
In fact, Zheng Yirong doesn't know much about Xue Mi. She just heard that she used to be a soft-tempered little daughter, and that Marquis Changqing loved her very much. It hurt my brain, and since then I have become crazy, causing many jokes in Shengjing City.

But now, how could such a silly girl appear at the dinner party of Second Young Master Tan?

Before Yan Ce could speak, Xue Mi had already stood up, wiped her mouth with her sleeve indiscriminately, and cupped her fists at him, "I'm full, thank you for your hospitality, since Mr. Tan has a distinguished guest, I'll be fine Here we go, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, he swaggered out under the dumbfounded eyes of the three of them.

"Miss Xue, wait a minute." Yan Ce came to his senses and hurriedly stopped her.

"Is there anything else Mr. Tan can do? Uh." Xue Mi stopped at the door without looking back, touched her bloated stomach, and couldn't help but burped very loudly.

"Ms. Xue, why don't you stay and eat together? It's raining heavily outside, and I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to go home alone. Why don't we wait until the rain stops?" Yan Ce looked at her firmly, his words full of intentions to stay .

Seeing this, Zheng Yirong beside her frowned somewhat displeasedly.

Xue Mi turned around, fluttering her eyelashes like a feather fan, smiling cutely: "But I'm already full, didn't you hear that I hiccupped just now? Besides, there's not much more than me here, It's a lot less than me, I don't have the face to eat and drink anymore, I'm afraid you won't be comfortable eating."
