Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1124: Chapter 1125: Old Qi’s Honeyed Words

The two of them spent most of the day at the tourist park, and then they went to Xiushan Mountain to try some local snacks before heading home.

”Today, let’s eat at the restaurant before going home,” Qi Taiguo said. ”You’ve got your period, so don’t bother cooking. Let’s eat out!”

Cheng Su laughed at him, ”Not going for Western food this year?”

Qi Taiguo looked a bit embarrassed and said, ”No, we’re not. Our own cooking is better. The foreign devils’ food doesn’t fill you up anyway.”

Cheng Su chuckled and teased, ”Their food is about the ambiance, all about elegance and decorum, not big chunks of meat and bowls of wine.”

”Well, I’m just a rough guy!” Qi Taiguo said with a grin.

Cheng Su was just making casual conversation, and they arrived at the restaurant during its busy dining hours. The hostess saw Cheng Su and smiled, bowing to greet her.

As for Qi Taiguo, he stood there with a stern face like a post. The hostess knew he was Cheng Su’s husband, and seeing his serious demeanor made her a bit intimidated.

Cheng Su glanced around the first floor, which was full, and asked, ”Is the second floor full? Is there a room left on the third floor? Is the Fall Equinox Room occupied?”

The hostess quickly turned the pages of her notebook and replied, ”The Fall Equinox Room is free, and the second floor is nearly empty today.”

”Then, let’s have the Fall Equinox Room!” Qi Taiguo quickly interjected.

Cheng Su gave him a sideways glance, and Qi Taiguo cleared his throat.

As the boss, there was no way the hostess could refuse, so she nodded in agreement.

On the way up to the third floor, the waitstaff who saw Cheng Su all greeted her, and she inquired about the other guests in the private rooms for the evening. After she got the information, she said, ”Pretend you didn’t see me here. No need to let anyone know I came, so I don’t have to socialize.”

”Understood!”

Once they reached the private room, Qi Taiguo was very pleased and praised, ”You’ve got the right idea. It’s your birthday today, so enjoy the food and drink and forget about business interactions.”

”You know, with that stern face of yours, you’re going to scare the young girls away,” Cheng Su teased.

Qi Taiguo maintained a cold expression, ”My smile should be reserved just for you!”

”Sweet talker!”

Upon hearing that Cheng Su and her husband had arrived, Qiulan came over personally. She had a bit of a blush, and Cheng Su could faintly smell alcohol, so she asked, ”Are you drinking already?”

”Director Li from the municipal office is hosting a few people for a meal and had me have a couple of drinks. I heard you were here, Sister Su, and came to hide for a bit!” Qiulan laughed.

”Well, just don’t tell them I’m here!” Cheng Su replied quickly.

Qiulan chuckled at Qi Taiguo, ”I know you and Deputy Battalion Commander Qi are having some alone time, so I wouldn’t dare bother you, I definitely won’t say anything!”

”Well, Qiulan, you’re getting better at this!” Qi Taiguo praised, giving a thumbs up.

”Enough chit-chat, what’s on the menu?” Cheng Su shot him a glance and asked.

”What do you feel like eating? How about some shrimp? It’s your birthday, let’s celebrate with shrimp, haha!” Qi Taiguo suggested.

”Is it really Sister Su’s birthday?” Qiulan exclaimed in surprise, ”Chef Song recently created a new dish. Would Sister Su like to try it? It’s called ’Hundreds of Descendants’.”

”That sounds great, let’s have that!” Qi Taiguo’s eyes lit up at the mention and he looked at Cheng Su with a pleased smile.

Cheng Su was completely defeated, so she said to Qiulan, ”Please arrange it then. No need for big portions, it’s just the two of us, we can’t finish it all.”

”Okay!” Qiulan replied and left.

As soon as she left, Cheng Su pinched the soft flesh on Qi Taiguo’s body and scolded, ”You shameless man, aren’t you afraid people will laugh at you?”

”How am I shameless? We’re planning to have kids now, so we need these good omens!” Qi Taiguo said earnestly.

Cheng Su glared at him, puffing her cheeks in annoyance, yet still couldn’t come up with a retort.
