Qi Shenbai mulled over the menu while Xu Jiaojiao looked around to assess the layout of the restaurant. It was currently winter, but flowers were blooming everywhere, and a faint fragrance wafted over.
“The food here should be very expensive, right? This restaurant is so famous. I begged my brother for a long time, but he never agreed to bring me here.”
She did not expect that her first time here would be with Qi Shenbai.
Qi Shenbai ordered some dishes with the air of an old hand and handed the menu back to the waiter. “Bring the manager here.”
The waiter did not dare to be negligent. Soon, a man in a suit walked over with a smile on his face.
“Mr. Qi, what can I do for you?”
“This is my wife.”
The sudden formal introduction surprised Xu Jiaojiao. She instantly straightened her back like a primary school student whose name had been called.
The manager discreetly sized up Xu Jiaojiao. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, but his expression quickly returned to normal.
“Mrs. Qi, please let me know if you need anything.”
Although Xu Jiaojiao was already mentally prepared for this form of address, she still felt a little strange when she heard it in front of outsiders. However, she still returned the smile graciously.
“It’s nice to meet you too.”
The manager did not manage to hide the amazement in his eyes. She really was pretty.
Perhaps he stared at her for too long. Qi Shenbai frowned and waved his hand. “That’s all. You may leave now.”
The manager bowed respectfully. Before he left, he did not forget to give Xu Jiaojiao a friendly smile.
Xu Jiaojiao returned the smile out of courtesy.
When Qi Shenbai saw their interaction, he felt his eyebrows twitch. He regretted calling the manager over.
Xu Jiaojiao only asked curiously after the manager disappeared from her sight, “Why did you specially call the manager over?” Was it just to introduce her as Mrs. Qi?
There was a hint of gentleness in Qi Shenbai’s voice. “You can come to this restaurant to eat anytime in the future. Put everything on my tab.”
He probably guessed that she would decline his offer, so he added, “Don’t hold back. I also have some shares in this restaurant. There’s a discount on the food. You can bring your brother here. The money for the food will be deducted from his bonus.”
Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes widened. “I didn’t know my brother had such a generous bonus!” She was overjoyed. “That means I can consider coming here every month to satisfy my cravings!”
Qi Shenbai looked at her lovingly. He stood up and said, “Have a seat first. I’m going to the washroom.”
