Chapter 272 The Little Boss Lady is Good

Ji Yubai took a cold shower and came out wrapped in a bathrobe.

Zhong Lingxi sat on the sofa, staring at him with resentful eyes, as if he owed her hundreds of millions and wouldn't pay them back.

Ji Yubai asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

"The four of them are going to soak in the hot springs in the mountains."

It goes without saying which four people were involved; the parents from both families hit it off immediately, as they were both outdoor enthusiasts.

"You want to go?"

"My mom asked me to take care of you."

Zhong Lingxi pouted, clearly very dissatisfied, all because Ji Yubai was drunk.

Okay, Ji Yubai's drunkenness was also caused by her relatives.

Her fiancé was plied with alcohol by relatives, and she felt obligated to take care of him.

Ji Yubai: "Mom is the best!"

Zhong Lingxi knew she shouldn't be temperamental, but she just couldn't shake off her unease.

For a moment, the two sat on the hotel sofa in silence.

Ji Yubai felt uncomfortable under her gaze, afraid that he would upset Ling Xi again in the next second.

"Look, it's almost dinner time. How about we go out and find something to eat?"

"There's nothing good to eat." She's lived in Jincheng for over twenty years and has tried all sorts of delicious food.

"But this is my first time in Jincheng."

Hey ~

Poor child.

She doesn't seem like a toxic mother who doesn't feed her children.

"Then get dressed, I'll take you there."

"Okay." Ji Yubai rolled over and went to change his clothes.

Zhong Lingxi's eyes twitched as she watched; she really wasn't drunk.

Jincheng, a city without peaceful nights.

The National Day holiday is a peak tourist season, making it even more bustling.

Restaurants with good food always have long queues.

Looking at the crowd of people sitting on plastic stools outside the store, eating sunflower seeds, Zhong Lingxi knew that the wait time for this hot pot restaurant was at least two hours.

She turned her head and asked Ji Yubai, "Want to eat?"

"eat."

"You have to wait in line."

"I'll go line up." Without saying a word, Ji Yubai went straight to the store clerk wearing a mask.

Zhong Lingxi smiled, "Ji Yubai will always be like this."

As long as she speaks, no matter what he's doing, he'll drop everything and respond to her immediately.

She loved Ji Yubai, who had her in his heart and always put her first.

Ji Yubai said to the staff member, "Hello, give me a number."

"Sir, the wait time is currently over two hours. Do you need a number?"

"It's alright, we can wait. Good food is worth the wait."

Hearing this, the shop assistant's eyes lit up. "Thank you for your recognition of our store, sir."

Ji Yubai took the number plate and prepared to go find Lingxi.

"Young boss!"

The newcomer raised the brim of his hat, revealing a section of his face, and stood happily in front of Ji Yubai.

"It's really you."

“Brother Qiang.” Ji Yubai remembered this person; he was Xinglifang’s top agent.

Qiang scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Oh dear, even the little boss is joining in the commotion."

Brother Qiang's real name is not Brother Qiang, and he is not very old. He got the name Brother Qiang because of his outstanding performance and the fact that every artist he manages becomes a star.

"Want to have hot pot?"

"Yes, with my fiancée." Ji Yubai glanced at Zhong Lingxi standing in the distance. She was engrossed in playing on her phone and hadn't noticed what was happening. "You're here for hot pot too?"

"Yes, Zhen Zhen is filming here. She's finished filming, so it would be a waste of her trip to Jincheng if she didn't come over for hot pot."

Only then did Brother Qiang remember the purpose of his visit.

"Young boss, there's another table ahead of us, let's join them."

The number in Qiang Ge's hand was obtained by his assistant who came to queue up at noon.

This speaks volumes about how popular this store is.

Lingxi didn't eat a proper lunch, so she probably can't wait two hours. "You don't mind?"

“We don’t mind. We’ve already booked a private room. It’s just me, Zhenzhen, and the assistant. If you and the boss’s wife join us, it’ll be more lively and just right.”

Having heard this, Ji Yubai stopped dwelling on the details and said, "I'll talk to my fiancée about it."

Qiang was surprised that the small business owner had a fiancée, but he understood that the fiancée must be someone of considerable importance to be able to command the small business owner.

After all, everyone in the company knows that the boss has a headache when it comes to the junior managers; the mere mention of the junior managers is enough to send his blood pressure soaring.

"Okay, I'll call you when it's your number."

Ji Yubai nodded and smiled, then left first.

"Did you run into someone you know?" Zhong Lingxi finished ordering her drink and looked up to see Ji Yubai talking to a man wearing a fisherman's hat.

"Star Cube's top agent, he, his artists, and his assistant are also eating here. They booked a private room. Would you like to join us?"

Zhong Ling thought that Ji Yubai hadn't eaten properly all day, and since they knew each other, it would be nice to share a table.

"Great. I've already ordered drinks, I'll order three more."

Zhong Lingxi ordered three more cups of low-sugar, low-calorie fruit tea on her phone.

After everyone was seated in the private room, Ji Yubai made his introduction.

"Zhong Lingxi, my fiancée."

As if they had planned it beforehand, the three stood together, bowed slightly to Zhong Lingxi, and said in unison:

"Hello, young lady! It's a pleasure to meet you. Please take good care of me."

"Haha~" Zhong Lingxi didn't expect to find a kindred spirit. "No need for formalities, it's no trouble at all."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Assessment complete: the young proprietress is an interesting person.

Ji Yubai hadn't expected that the atmosphere at the table would be so good before they even started eating.

That's true, Lingxi is a really fun person.

Zhen Zhen is known in the entertainment industry as a master of pranks.

Those who can work with her for a long time are naturally the most witty and humorous people.

"Um... soybeans, right?"

The assistant who was called upon immediately stood up and said, "Yes, boss."

This excitement is nothing like that of a exploited assistant.

He's clearly a reincarnation of a starving ghost; he gets excited whenever he sees delicious food.

Ji Yubai: "You must have had a hard time queuing up today. Order whatever you like, the boss will pay."

Soybean, understandingly, asked, "What's the budget?"

Ji Yubai was overjoyed by the three people's address of "Little Boss Lady".

"Your order is the budget, but first of all, we can't waste food."

"clear."

Zhong Lingxi and Zhen Zhen met eyes and smiled at each other.

"I ordered a drink; it's low in calories, has a light flavor, and will help cut through the richness later," Zhong Lingxi said, handing over the fruit tea.

"Thank you, little boss lady." Zhen Zhen smiled broadly, without a trace of the airs of a female celebrity.

"What about mine?" Ji Yubai was jealous that the first cup wasn't for him.

Zhong Lingxi handed him a cup that was different from the others, saying, "I bought this hot milk for you."

"Why?" Ji Yubai asked, clearly displeased.

How old is he? He's still drinking milk.

"You drank alcohol and then ate hot pot, which is bad for your stomach. Milk will form a protective film on your stomach lining, so you won't feel uncomfortable even if you eat spicy hot pot later."

She wouldn't have bothered explaining if there weren't outsiders present.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yubai thought it was Lingxi's loving milk.

He eagerly inserted the straw, took a sip, and exclaimed, "What a special milk!"

Zhong Lingxi: ......

Zhen Zhen bit her straw, while the couple's gazes darted back and forth between their faces.

A phrase suddenly came to mind: "The latecomer surpasses the former because he both competes and strives."

Isn't this a clear case of small business owners scrambling to grab it?

Zhen Zhen, who has acted in too many dramas, watched with great interest. She still needs a bit more experience with "The Little Boss and His Wife".

It's okay. After eating the boss's spicy hot pot, she should add fuel to the fire and keep their happiness burning brightly.
