Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law

Chapter 141: Chapter 141 He is Picky_1

Huo Beijiang’s eyes flashed with a brisk sternness, which he did nothing to hide, yet his face remained unchanging as he outright agreed.

“Okay!”

Opposite the State Guest Hotel was a food street that had been around for a long time and was frequented by locals. It was packed with various small restaurants and snack shops. The food was cheap and affordable, and Nan Fei chose a noodle shop, ordering her favorite hand-rolled noodles.

When Huo Beijiang saw that it was a noodle shop, there was no pretense in the distaste on his handsome face.

“Eating noodles?”

“What else?”

“Alright! As you wish, since you’re my wife! If anyone else was here, they would have me rolling far away.” Saying so, his tall and straight body took a seat in the bare and simple seats.

His image and temperament were entirely at odds with the simple and old noodle shop.

Nan Fei’s lips twitched. Was this supposed to be a compliment or a criticism? It didn’t sound nice no matter how she interpreted it.

She had always known that Huo Beijiang’s indifference to human relationships was not just her misperception.

Well, calm down, calm down.

The shop was small and the owner doubled as a waiter. When he saw Huo Beijiang come in, he felt a touch of apprehension. This man had an imposing presence, so that once he entered it seemed the shop could hardly accommodate him.

The owner felt a sudden urge to give them a free meal.

“What would you like to eat?”

Huo Beijiang raised an eyebrow, “Same as my wife.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Fei kicked him under the table, “Can you not keep using the word ‘wife’?”

Huo Beijiang tilted his chin up, saying defiantly, “No!”

“…” She… she would maintain her composure!

While waiting for the noodles, Huo Beijiang bent over to get closer to Nan Fei, his eyes deep and bright. Gazing at her with a twinkle as if there were stars blinking, making Nan Fei unable to meet his eyes head-on.

She had originally thought that he was just having a fleeting look, but he ended up staring for a long time, even resting his chin on his hand to continue looking.

Even though Huo Beijiang was completely ill-mannered, his face was attractive! Every feature flawlessly proportioned. As he got so close, anyone would blush and have a pounding heart, wouldn’t they?

“Don’t…don’t look anymore.” Being stared at by him, Nan Fei felt as if a little deer was running amuck in her chest and she subconsciously bit her red lip.

Huo Beijiang’s gaze lingered on her red lips, his eyes growing deeper.

“You eat first, I am going out to smoke.” His wife was too good-looking, he needed to cool down.

“Oh!” Nan Fei sighed in relief.

The hand-rolled noodles were served just as Huo Beijiang returned from outside. His body carried the faint scent of tobacco, which combined with his inherently flamboyant and unrestrained temperament, appeared exceptionally charming.

“This noodle… it looks very unappetizing.” Huo Beijiang was picky about his food.

Nan Fei’s chopstick-holding hand trembled. Even though she also thought the noodles weren’t tasty and vastly inferior to the hand-rolled noodles made by her grandmother, and it was clearly not hand-rolled but made by a machine.

But she wasn’t picky about food!

As long as there was something to eat, after all, they even added two poached eggs!

Huo Beijiang placed the poached egg from his bowl into Nan Fei’s, then without looking at her, he lowered his head and began to eat his noodles. He didn’t seem to eat fast, appearing leisurely, but within a few minutes, he had finished his bowl of noodles.

As Nan Fei held her chopsticks, clinging onto half of the poached egg and hesitating whether to give it back to him or eat it herself, he had already put down his chopsticks.

Even though they had shared breakfast before, seeing him eat like this made her speechless again.

“It’s a habit.” Huo Beijiang said with a hint of smugness in his eyes.

“…”

******

In the afternoon, Nan Fei had arranged to go with Wu Huai to the clothing factory. After they had left the noodle shop, she wanted to go by herself, but Huo Beijiang disagreed.

In the end, the two of them had to go together.
