I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 633 Delicious

Chapter 633: Chapter 633 Delicious

Lin Qi had wanted to say something to Shen Dong, but when she saw that he was racking his brains sending a message, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that he was messaging that pretty young lady? Given the look on his face, it seemed very likely, especially recalling how possessive that young lady had been earlier.

Shen Dong didn’t say anything back then; one glance and you could tell that there was something special between them. Now, as Lin Qi sat there dining with him, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of mischief brewing inside. Suddenly she wondered, if that pretty sister told her not to get close to Shen Dong, would they never be able to be close again?

Considering these things, Lin Qi realized she had developed some feelings for Shen Dong. If she had to give up these feelings so abruptly, she could probably accept it, but she decided to take things one step at a time. They weren’t at the point of cutting ties yet. Moreover, they were business partners; such relationships couldn’t be ended just like that.

Having thought it through, she finally felt at ease and waited in her seat. After all, having found consolation, she was alright. When the owner of the barbecue restaurant brought over their food and saw a new face alongside Shen Dong, he didn’t quite know what to say and was somewhat puzzled. The very pretty young lady who used to accompany Shen Dong wasn’t there today, and instead, there was someone of a completely different type.

Not to say that Shen Dong wasn’t popular. The restaurant owner kept this comment to himself, showing he was a man who knew his place.

Shen Dong took a bite of the grilled lamb, sighing with satisfaction. It was indeed delicious, and with the spices sprinkled on top, it was beyond description. Handing a skewer to Lin Qo, he said, "Alright, hurry up and try it. Don’t just sit there. After we finish eating, let’s head back. You try it first and see if it’s good, and check if I’ve deceived you."

"Right, beauty, don’t be shy. Treat this place as if it’s your own home. Try it and see if it’s good. If not, tell me and I’ll grill it again until you’re satisfied," the barbecue restaurant owner said hospitably, smiling as he spoke.

"Okay, you can go back to your work. No need to stay here with us. If I want more later, I’ll order more. Look at all the customers over there; you’re really busy. Business seems to be booming," Shen Dong said with a chuckle, clearly delighted.

It made him happy because it was a spot they had discovered themselves, and gradually business picked up—it was like watching one’s own child grow up.

Lin Qi had never eaten much good food growing up, but she had eaten barbecue before, so what was the big deal? She didn’t think much of it; she assumed it was just because Shen Dong, a young master, rarely ate such junk food that he found it tasty.

With that mindset, she took a bite, only to realize she had been hasty in her judgment. It was nothing like the barbecue she had tried before; it was exceptionally delicious, tender, and the seasoning was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of saltiness and a hint of sweetness. It was simply irresistible.

Words failed to describe the experience. After one bite, she couldn’t stop herself. Her previous restraint was gone. She was already starving, and now she couldn’t resist any longer—she started to eat voraciously. The way she devoured the food with such relish at first, then with abandon, made Shen Dong chuckle.

He knew that no one could resist the allure of this barbecue—the aroma alone was enough to awaken all the taste buds. Even if he were full, he couldn’t help but want dozens more skewers. This place was truly the best treasure he had found.

"Right? I wasn’t wrong, was I? The barbecue here is exceptionally tasty, many times better than what’s outside. Now you finally understand how I feel, right? Now you know why I love coming here," he said.

"Yes, I finally understand why you’d even give up a fancy dinner for this place. It’s just so delicious... Why didn’t you bring me here earlier? Why did you ask me out to that high-end restaurant in the first place? You know how I dress and what my home is like. Yet you made me go there and let the waiters laugh at me. If you had asked me out here from the start, I wouldn’t have had to endure their ridicule, and I could have enjoyed this delicious barbecue sooner. We could have had another meal tonight. Don’t you think that would have been better?

You insisted on that fancy place, making me think you liked that kind of dining. Back then, I thought you were seriously misguided."

As she spoke with a laugh, Shen Dong felt helpless. He had originally wanted to show her a bit of the world by treating her to a nice meal, unaware it would turn out this way. Now here she was, blaming him. Sighing, he decided not to argue with the young woman and said:

"Just enjoy your food." He shoved another skewer into her mouth and took one for himself. "I must say, nothing cures the soul like barbecue; nothing else compares."

So they ate on in a daze, having already packed up the leftovers. Checking the time, it was about time to leave, yet she hadn’t finished eating. She had an insatiable appetite, like a bunny with the stomach of a pig. It was incredible how much she could eat, and, to the uninformed observer, it might seem he had starved her.

"Haven’t finished yet? I thought you had eaten your fill this morning. Looks like you’re far from done. How much more do you want? I can pack some more for you to take home. I should be heading back now; if I don’t, people at home will start to hustle me."

Shen Dong checked the time and glanced at the packaged leftovers, thinking it was time for him to go. As soon as he spoke those words, Lin Qi’s eyes dimmed, never having expected him to say that.

Then she thought about it: the young lady at home must be waiting for him. It wouldn’t be right to keep him any longer. Indeed, she had eaten enough for the evening. It was time to stop.
