"Deep Well Crispy Roast Goose, Spicy King Prawns, Baked Green Crab with Glutinous Rice, Steamed Silver Fish with Loofah, Savory Four Treasure Wings, Snow Fungus Soup with Papaya, Shiitake with Seasonal Vegetables..."
Dish after dish spewed from Gu Yuying's mouth, causing Luo Qingli's heart to jump in alarm.
It really pained her to think, how much money would be spent on so many dishes?
At least tens of thousands, probably even more...
Splurging tens of thousands on a single meal was simply too... extravagant!
Her family would never spend more than a few thousand on a meal at a five-star restaurant.
"Uncle, don't order so many. We can't finish it all. Could you lessen the amount?" Luo Qingli gave the waiter another charming smile.
"Excuse me, miss. We'll only have the first four dishes. We don't want the rest."
The waiter didn't listen to Luo Qingli but looked at Gu Yuying. Only after hearing him say: "It's all right, you can go." did the waiter leave their private dining area.
Thinking about having such an expensive meal, Luo Qingli felt both anxious and a slight sense of anticipation.
"It's okay, it's just pocket change." Gu Yuying looked at Luo Qingli fidgeting, and his lips curled into a slight smile.
This time, his eyes were even smiling.
Seeing this, Luo Qingli was dumbfounded. Her handsome uncle was already irresistible when he didn't smile, but now his smile was enough to steal her soul.
No, she couldn't allow this.
Therefore, Luo Qingli said seriously: "Uncle, please stop smiling in the future."
Luo Qingli was conflicted: she enjoyed seeing her uncle's smile.
However, she didn't want others to see it.
"Why?" He wondered. Did he look awful when he smiled?
"Your smile is too captivating; it's not good. It will attract too many unwanted flies. We're legally married now. I don't want others constantly thinking about my husband. It would make me feel uncomfortable."
Luo Qingli pouted as she let all her thoughts out.
"Never mind, uncle. Remember you once asked me not to interfere with your life. You can smile as much as you wish!" Luo Qingli ruffled her hair, feeling slightly dejected.
"But you are already in my life," Gu Yuying stated, leaving Luo Qingli puzzled.
"Huh? Uncle, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing. Don't worry, I won't be romantically involved with any other woman. It's my responsibility as a married man."
Even if they hadn't made it official, he wouldn't have an improper relationship with another woman anyway.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be rumors about his sexuality.
"Ah? Oh!" Luo Qingli finally understood. She thought to herself, 'Is my uncle trying to explain something?'
"Why are you twenty and still in your final year of high school?" Since they're married now, Gu Yuying felt that it was necessary to know more about her.
Unfortunately, his question hit Luo Qingli's sore spot.
"I broke my leg when I was eighteen and took two years to recover." Luo Qingli cringed and blushed with embarrassment as she talked about that.
"What do your parents do?"
Luo Qingli was taken aback, her charming uncle's line of questioning reminded her a lot of her mother's interrogation tactics.
But under Gu Yuying's substantial pressure, she still answered.
"My mom is a cop, and my dad runs a small business. He used to run a martial arts school that my grandfather passed down, but that didn't last long since kids these days aren't into martial arts anymore.
Parents now send their kids to all types of classes like dance, piano, violin, and such."
