Chapter 867 - 698: The Longest Lunch in Lo Qi’s Life
"How could there be such an adorable girl in this world."
Lanci seemed to have laughed himself tired, he picked up the glass and gulped the water down.
If he didn’t take a break, he felt he might just die laughing today.
Meanwhile, Talia trembled beside him without speaking.
The more she did this, the more he found it amusing.
It was just too funny!
"Excuse me, waiter."
Lanci, still in high spirits, raised his hand and caught the attention of the waiter.
"May I help you with anything?"
The waiter, dressed in a black vest and white apron, approached them with a worldly stride.
"Could we add a few more dishes, I would like to make some changes to our initial order."
Lanci said to the waiter.
"Of course, that’s no problem."
The waiter once again procured the menu and handed it over.
"Thank you."
Lanci felt that Talia’s imitation of the Cat Boss’s meow was perfect for dining, it even made his appetite better.
And no matter how much was ordered, he believed Talia could definitely handle it.
The joy this restaurant brought was too much, it wouldn’t hurt if they dined here all afternoon.
"Tata, is that okay?"
Lanci sought Talia’s opinion.
"...Just add it."
Talia was too annoyed to speak.
But if it was about adding dishes, she would reluctantly agree.
To bankrupt this bastard!
"This dish, this one, and this one..."
Lanci flipped through the menu page by page, leaning over to speak to the waiter.
Talia glanced and felt even worse.
Lanci was choosing everything she didn’t like.
Lanci asked.
"..."
Talia did not reply.
It was anger, to begin with; disregarding the possibility that "she did not want to let go of this human," she still felt unsettled because of Lanci.
After a while,
the wine steward approached gracefully with a crystal-clear decanter and slowly poured the ruby-like wine into a stemmed glass.
The fragrant fruit aroma permeated the air along with the swaying of the wine in the glass, as Lanci picked up the glass and gently passed it to Talia.
He, on the other hand, received a glass of grape juice that the waiter had specially brought to him.
They made a symbolic toast and each took a sip.
The appetizer was swiftly served.
"Tata, doesn’t this look like Cat Boss?"
The starter was quite popular at the restaurant, with a fresh mini rye bagel giving off a malty scent.
Taking a bite, the texture was soft, and fluffy insides dotted with sesame seeds could be seen when torn open; the avocado cream was made from imported avocados from the western Canberra Kingdom, its texture fine and carrying a natural fragrance with a subtle nutty flavor.
"..."
Talia didn’t wish to respond to him, she began eating quietly.
Now the word "cat" made her think Lanci was implying something else.
She extended her fork towards the veal; the choice leg of veal was stewed in a brown sauce to a tender, succulent texture, and the richly flavored juices made for a smooth, silky mouthfeel with a lingering sweetness.
Focusing on the enjoyment of good food could make one forget their troubles.
As they ate, other dishes were also progressively served.
The most noticeable was Chef Borges’ signature dessert—caramel apple tart with vanilla custard tart. The crisp, golden tart crust was topped with a layer of shiny caramel, the sweetness and tartness of the apple were just right, and the richness and creaminess of the vanilla ice cream were the perfect finishing touch.
A small plate disappeared in less than a minute.
Soon after, Talia encountered a difficulty.
If she held hands with Lanci,
she could not use her right hand to eat normally,
and using the utensils with her left hand felt a bit awkward.
Lanci also noticed that Talia’s dining efficiency had significantly dropped.
He observed her,
with delicious food right in front of her, she could only clumsily take her time to enjoy it.
Watching her awkward eating made Lanci uncomfortable, too, as if Cat Boss were scratching at his heart.
