Chapter 719: Her Devotion
This restaurant was highly recommended by Lin Bufan, who seems to have tried all the noodles here and has become quite familiar with the owner, perhaps because of this, the owner gave Lin Bufan a backdoor entry.This shop only serves noodles, from the cheapest plain noodles at a bit over two hundred, to top Wagyu beef noodles costing a little over a thousand. As that food blogger put it, you’re tasting life and class.
The owner is an uncle around fifty, but he’s quite trendy, dresses meticulously, and his hair is perfectly coiffed.
Although Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue aren’t celebrities, they’re somewhat public figures.
As soon as they entered, the owner recognized them, smiling warmly at Rong Qingqing.
"Lin Bufan said he made the reservation on behalf of his boss and his boss lady, so I guessed it was you two. I’ve been looking forward to this all afternoon. Now I can understand how my daughter feels when she gets to meet her idols up close."
After the owner finished speaking, he looked at Rong Qingqing and, smiling, said, "When my wife was pregnant, she often craved my noodles. If Miss Qingqing likes my cooking, just give my shop a call whenever you want to eat. As long as we’re open, there will always be a spot for you and your husband."
Rong Qingqing’s eyes lit up, "Thank you, owner."
Such special treatment is unexpected and would surely make many fans of the shop envious.
The owner was also perceptive, knowing that the couple came to eat noodles together and likely wouldn’t enjoy having another person hanging around chatting with them.
After taking their orders, the owner busied himself in the kitchen and didn’t linger outside to chat with the guests.
Rong Qingqing looked around, appearing playful, with a smile that never left her lips.
Seeing her happiness, Shen Jue also felt a bit lighter at heart.
It seems Lin Bufan is somewhat useful after all.
The noodles were served, and Rong Qingqing first sipped the broth.
The sensation on her taste buds made her exclaim in admiration, "The soup is so fresh!"
The noodles were perfectly chewy, absorbing the freshness of the broth. A bite made you squint with delight.
A serving of noodles was large, with the bowl larger than Rong Qingqing’s face.
As she drank the last mouthfuls of broth, Rong Qingqing boldly picked up the entire bowl, burying her entire face into it.
Shen Jue, sitting opposite her, couldn’t help but laugh.
"Do you like it that much?" he asked, grinning as he watched her put down the bowl and burp with satisfaction.
"It’s delicious." Rong Qingqing nodded and patted her stomach, "I’m stuffed."
"Even though you’re stuffed, you didn’t spare the last drop of broth." Shen Jue stood up, walked to her side, and gently massaged her stomach.
Rong Qingqing had never eaten so much at once before.
Even though her appetite had grown after becoming pregnant, she had never eaten such a large bowl in one go, so when she said she was stuffed, Shen Jue believed her—she was genuinely full, not just being playful with him.
"If you like it, we can come again." Shen Jue said with a slight chuckle as he watched Rong Qingqing, who leaned back in her chair and burped three times in a row.
"You’re too busy, you can’t accompany me often, and it’s no fun to come alone," Rong Qingqing said lazily, pouting, "I’m about to give birth soon, and I’ll need postpartum confinement after childbirth. You’ll just be controlling me, forbidding this and that. If I crave this during confinement and you don’t let me have it, who knows when I’ll be able to eat to my heart’s content again."
"Whenever you want to eat, I’ll come with you." Shen Jue knew that Rong Qingqing was actually a bit lonely here.
She had few friends, just a handful, and they couldn’t always be available.
Her social circle was all in Shenzhen.
Even her beloved career is in Shenzhen.
