Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Going on Another Date

At this moment, in R City, Xiao Yu, also known as Zhu Qianyu, was forcibly ordered to recuperate at home by her husband, Ji Huan.

"Uncle Luo, since my mom has already said so, let’s just leave it at that."

Given this kind of response, would Luo Yifan really leave it at that?

About ten minutes later, Chen Jing, who was busily working in the kitchen, felt someone push the door and enter, assuming it was Xiao Ya or some other waitress. However, to her surprise, the person who walked in was Luo Yifan.

"Boss Luo, the kitchen is not a place for idlers."

Chen Jing pointed to the sign posted on the kitchen door and said, expressionless.

But Luo Yifan replied, "I’m not an idler, we are partners in business, you go ahead with your work. When you’re done, I want to see the process of making your dish."

Chen Jing was speechless.

Honestly, she really didn’t want to see him. But his request, from a collaboration point of view, was reasonable.

"Then please excuse yourself out, Boss Luo, I’ll call you when I’m done with my work."

Chen Jing was a sincere person, well aware that others might have ulterior motives, but she didn’t know how to refuse.

After Luo Yifan left, her two disciples obviously noticed the master’s displeasure and reluctance, so they reminded her.

"Master, if you don’t want to bother with him, you can be more direct. Otherwise, how many more reasons can you really resist? In any case, you don’t have to be accountable to him. What can he do? Bite you?"

Chen Jing just smiled and ignored the disciple’s suggestion.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to resist or make a scene, but doing so would undoubtedly make their relationship very tense.

She only wanted to keep a certain distance from him, but never intended to completely reject him from her world.

In the end, she had grown accustomed to being invaded.

She was used to passively defending when invaded rather than taking the offensive.

Let alone hoping, when she was pushed into a corner, she would occasionally launch a counterattack that could be fatal to the other party.

After Luo Yifan’s brief trip to the kitchen, his mood significantly improved. He then proceeded to savor his exclusive "available on demand" dinner.

After nearly half an hour, he finished his personalised dinner. Luo Yifan walked to the cashier and spoke to the Xiao Ya inside.

"Xiao Ya, please help me reserve that table."

Xiao Ya looked at him, "Sorry, but that table is not available for reservation."

Normally, that two-seater table was supposed to serve as a mobile backup table so it was never open for reservations.

"Go ask your boss lady, due to work, I have to have two meals a day here for the next few days. Is it really okay not to reserve the table? Of course, if necessary, I can give a deposit."

It seems, Luo Yifan is set on using work as an excuse to stick around until the end.

Xiao Ya didn’t dare to make the decision herself, she went to the kitchen to ask Chen Jing for advice.

After hearing this, Chen Jing didn’t react much. She just said, "Let him reserve it. If he wants to pay any amount for the deposit, just accept it. The same goes for the bill, if he wants to pay, let him. If not, that’s up to him."

It seemed that Chen Jing had made up her mind to not react, regardless of what he did.

As a result, having heard the boss lady’s words, Xiao Ya reserved the table for Luo Yifan according to his wish, and received a quite substantial deposit.

Luo Yifan put his card back in his wallet, looking rather pleased. He then took out several large bills and handed them to Xiao Ya.

"Xiao Ya, go to the fruit shop opposite and get some fresh fruits. It’s hot weather; everyone can have some fruits to cool down."

In reality, the weather was not exactly described as hot. He was just making up an excuse.

One does not refuse that which is given. This was Xiao Ya’s mentality when she accepted the cash from Luo Yifan.

The old saying goes, having accepted another person’s kindness, one tends to repay it. After Xiao Ya brought back a bunch of imported fruits, the staff members started warming up to Luo Yifan.

Of course, this thawing was on the down low. Seeing that the boss lady always wore an expressionless face in front of Luo Yifan, everyone naturally did not dare to show their friendliness too blatantly.

"Aunt Jing, the mangos that Boss Luo bought are very fresh. Have a couple!"

"Aunt Jing, here are some durians that Boss Luo bought, would you like a piece?"

"Aunt Jing, have some cherries that Boss Luo bought!"

...

The shop assistants rotated to present her with these offerings, but each time, whatever was brought in was returned untouched.

While Luo Yifan was prepared for this, repeated rejection made him feel somewhat helpless.

Not until the customers in the restaurant had mostly paid their bills and left, and Chen Jing was free, did Luo Yifan finally get a chance to go into the kitchen.

"Boss Luo, here are the ingredients and procedures."

Chen Jing handed him the iPad, and she took out the pre-prepared ingredients to re-make another pot of dish according to the procedure.

Luo Yifan tasted it and sure enough, the taste was no different from what he had in the morning.

Before he could express his thoughts and views, Chen Jing had already taken off her uniform and removed her hat.

"Xiao Shan, you and Ah Feng tidy up, I need to go out for a while."

Xiao Shan and Ah Feng were Chen Jing’s two disciples, young chefs hired by the restaurant.

Having instructed her disciples, Chen Jing then said to Luo Yifan, "Boss Luo, please do as you wish."

Without waiting for Luo Yifan’s response, she walked out.

There was a small shared bathroom in the office area. Chen Jing freshened herself up, changed into the new clothes Zhu Qianying had bought for her the other day, and walked out of the office.

Luo Yifan, who seemed to want to take root here, was sitting at the table he had reserved, fiddling with his laptop.

Hearing the sound, he raised his head, and was momentarily stunned to see Chen Jing, who was dressed in a white chiffon shirt and a coffee-colored mid-length skirt.

In fact, Chen Jing had a good foundation, otherwise, she wouldn’t have given birth to Zhu Qianying, a pair of pretty twins.

It’s just that she usually didn’t dress up and was always dressed very casually as befitting a housewife, so while she did look younger than her peers, she always seemed to lack a certain sparkle.

But now, she just changed into a well-cut dress, her hair styled into a vintage bun and suddenly she appeared luminous. Despite being in her forties, she was still hard to look away from.

"Wow, Aunt Jing, are you going on a date again?"

Xiao Ya hadn’t seen Chen Jing dressed up like this before. Now that she had, her eyes lit up and she jumped over to circle around Chen Jing.

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Chen Jing patted her head, "Take care of the shop properly. When all the customers have left, clean up and make sure to lock the doors and windows."

After instructing Xiao Ya, Chen Jing headed for the door.

Luo Yifan, who had been sitting there all the time, also got up. He closed the laptop with a snap. "Ah Jing, where are you going? I can give you a ride!"

Chen Jing turned her head and politely smiled at him. "Thank you, Boss Luo, but I have a driver, you don’t need to bother!"

[I’m not sure if there will be three or four more updates, probably around six o’clock in the evening~]
