Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Old Qi, You’re Really Funny

Qi Taiguo took Cheng Su out for a wild day of fun, and in the evening, he brought her to a very ancient-looking and upscale western restaurant in town for dinner.

”What’s wrong?” After locking the car, Cheng Su noticed that Qi Taiguo seemed nervous and hesitant, which made her a bit curious.

Qi Taiguo cleared his throat and, lowering his voice, asked, ”Does my hair look messy, and are my clothes dirty? I’ve heard that this is a very high-class western restaurant, and they won’t let you in if you are not dressed properly.”

Cheng Su burst into laughter and said, ”You look fine, very handsome,” as she helped him straighten his collar.

No wonder he had asked her to dress up and put on makeup today—it turned out this was the main event.

”On my last birthday, you cooked me western food, and although it was quite proper, it was also hard work. Today, for our wedding anniversary, let’s experience this upscale place,” Qi Taiguo said proudly.

”Okay!” Cheng Su said, smiling lightly with a tenderness in her heart.

It was then that Qi Taiguo took her hand, reminding her, ”This is our first time at this place, and we don’t know the proper way to eat here. Pay attention to how others do it; we can’t let ourselves become a laughingstock!”

Cheng Su agreed again, her smile almost spilling from her eyes.

She had seen all walks of life, how could she embarrass herself eating western food? Yet, his cautious instructions made her find him incredibly adorable and sweet.

A host came up and asked if the couple had a reservation. Qi Taiguo stammered that they had, under the name ”Qi.”

The host smiled and led them to a table by the window.

Just as Cheng Su was about to sit down, Qi Taiguo pulled out her chair for her, and with a wink, waited until the waiter had poured water and left before whispering, ”I saw someone else do this just now.”

Cheng Su covered her mouth to hide her light laughter.

Old Qi, her husband, was too funny!

When the waiter handed them the menu, Cheng Su looked at Qi Taiguo across from her as he seriously opened it, his eyes turning green. She couldn’t help but look down and chuckle softly.

The menu was all in English, which he couldn’t understand!

Cheng Su leisurely perused it, and sure enough, Qi Taiguo looked over at her with panic, too afraid to speak with the waiter there.

If the waiter hadn’t been present, Cheng Su really would have burst out laughing. She quickly grabbed a napkin from the table to cover her mouth and stifle her giggles, lightly coughing.

”Shall I order? How about steak?” Cheng Su asked Qi Taiguo with a smile.

Qi Taiguo nodded hastily, ”Yes, yes, I’ll listen to you!”

Cheng Su then swiftly rattled off their order to the waiter: how well the steak should be cooked, what to have for appetizers and main courses, which dessert, and what wine to pair it with.

Qi Taiguo watched Cheng Su’s composure with widened eyes.

Once the waiter left, Qi Taiguo leaned forward, lowered his voice and asked, ”Susu, can you really understand all that?”

Cheng Su also lowered her voice in reply, ”I don’t quite understand it either, I’m just pretending.”

”No wonder!” Qi Taiguo exhaled, saying, ”But you looked so adept at it.”

”Well, it’s all in the books. I figured that western restaurants always serve the same dishes, so I just guessed!” Cheng Su said, pretending to be bashful.

Qi Taiguo gave her a thumbs-up, ”My wife is so clever!”

Cheng Su chuckled to herself. Today’s Qi Taiguo was full of surprises and so amusing!

The waiter brought an ice bucket and a bottle of red wine, asking Cheng Su if she would like it opened to breathe. After a while, he poured wine into the glasses in front of them.

Cheng Su picked up her glass and swirled it, observing the way the wine clung to the side. Qi Taiguo watched and imitated her, not really knowing what he was looking for.
