Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Is it Pretend?
The woman quickly fell asleep in his embrace.
She indeed had a nice dream that night.
But this time, it wasn’t the earlier man she dreamt about, but Liu Zheng, who was right beside her at that moment.
Waiting until she woke up the next morning, she found that the person by her side had vanished.
That was a bit strange to her. Could he have left so early? What was the hurry?
But to her surprise, when she went downstairs, she was greeted by the delightful scent of food coming from the kitchen.
Sensing this aroma, she was filled with joy.
It turned out that Liu Zheng hadn’t left at all.
She had thought he would have hurried away early in the morning, but now it seemed that was just her assumption.
She quickly made her way to the kitchen and indeed found Liu Zheng coming out with two bowls of noodles.
When Liu Zheng saw her awake, he then spoke.
"How was it, did you sleep well?"
Liu Jiaxin also smiled gently and nodded.
"I slept very well, what about you?"
"I slept very well too."
Liu Zheng replied with a smile, and Jia Xin took one of the bowls from his hand.
Soon, they went to the living room to eat.
The moment she tasted it, a burst of light shone in her eyes, surprising her with his remarkable cooking skills.
"My goodness, I didn’t expect you to cook so well."
Upon hearing what the woman before him said, Liu Zheng simply smiled and shook his head.
"I can only cook this dish well; if you asked me to cook something else, it wouldn’t taste good."
"Do you know? You shouldn’t be so modest."
"Of course, it’s true. Why would I lie to you?"
"Then, if you have time later, come over to my place for meals. I’m actually quite good at cooking."
"Sure, that’s not a problem at all."
Liu Zheng answered while laughing.
Quickly, they finished their noodles in haste.
However, Jia Xin indeed had other matters to attend to.
After all, she had her own businesses and her own restaurant to run.
So, she soon said,
"I might need to stop by the restaurant first."
"Okay, it just so happens I have to go back today too."
Afterward, the two reluctantly parted ways.
But when Jia Xin returned to the restaurant, she immediately began doing what needed to be done.
Actually, this restaurant was just one among her many businesses.
But the reason she cared so much about this restaurant was that it had been her and that man’s dream to run a successful establishment of this kind.
Now that she had achieved it, she was definitely going to plan it well and ensure that nothing went wrong.
Yet who would have known that while she was looking over some of the recent quarterly reports,
Suddenly, I heard a couple of waiters next to me who seemed to be chatting.
"Oh my God, have you heard about it too, the thing that happened right here in our restaurant!"
"Yeah, yeah, I just heard about it the other day, it’s just so unbelievable, who on earth is this person? I can hardly believe it."
"Right, I heard he drank like eight cases of alcohol, but he seemed completely sober."
"Yes, he was trying to drink a group of people under the table, and in the end, he was fine, and what’s more, he seems to be a friend of our boss."
"Good heavens, that’s really incredible, he could totally smash a Guinness record, I really doubt you can find another person who can drink like him."
Everybody indeed found it astonishing.
Jia Xin’s attention had been drawn over to them at first because they were talking about someone’s drinking ability.
I heard them saying that someone’s capacity for liquor was incredibly strong.
Latter, I also heard a few keywords, namely that this person was also a friend of the boss.
Isn’t that boss me? Which of my friends can drink to such an extent?
Thinking about it, a light suddenly sparkled in her eyes, could it be Liu Zheng?
Just a few days ago, Liu Zheng had indeed come to dine at her restaurant.
So she quickly put down the report in her hands and approached the waiters to inquire.
"What were you guys just talking about?"
Hearing this, the waiters finally snapped back to reality from their own world, thinking that the boss had caught them slacking off and chatting, naturally they were very nervous.
At that moment, looking at each other timidly, they bowed their heads and gently shook them.
"Nothing... we didn’t say anything..."
Liu Jiaxin, of course, knew what they were thinking, as she had also worked in this field before.
So she quickly raised her hand and waved it, speaking up.
"Alright, I’m not going to punish you, just tell me, what happened?"
After hearing this, the waiters finally took a deep breath and began to explain.
"A few days ago, it seems we had a guest who initially came with a group of people, but then he drank eight cases of liquor and knocked all the others out while staying sober himself."
"And if I remember correctly, that guest seemed to be your friend, boss. You even waved their bill yourself."
I couldn’t believe it was actually Liu Zheng.
This indeed made the person in front amazement-struck; it had never crossed my mind that Liu Zheng could drink so much.
Why didn’t I notice it yesterday?
It felt like he was a bit flushed, too.
So when I heard this, I was so surprised that I couldn’t even speak for a moment, and I had no idea how this could be the case.
All of this indeed felt utterly unbelievable to me.
I don’t know how much time passed before I finally came to.
"Was it that tall, thin guy who looks clean-cut? It seems he was the one who patronized our restaurant a couple days ago."
To be certain it was Liu Zheng, she asked again.
The waiter in front of her immediately nodded, indeed recalling that the person appeared tall and thin.
"Yes, yes, it’s that person."
"But I heard that there was trouble at the time and he wanted to stop those people, so he said he would take them all on by himself."
"I didn’t expect that he would really knock all those people out, and those who were downed were still quite disgruntled."
"Right, right, I remember it that way too."
