...
Pushing open the door, Shen Shuxin found Shen Yue waiting for her at the entrance. The little girl's face lit up mischievously as she said, "Mommy, you're back early today! Brother and I have already prepared the ingredients for dinner!"
Shen Yue looked like she was about to boast about her achievement.
Shen Zhiyan walked out of the living room slowly, his voice as cold as his father's. "It's just a small matter, there's nothing worth boasting about."
The little girl pouted when she heard her brother's words.
Shen Shuxin put her bag on the shelf, took off her high heels, and bent down to give Shen Yue a kiss on her cheek. A red lipstick mark was left on the little girl's smooth face. After few seconds, Shen Yue realized what had happened and said, "Mommy kissed me, hehe." Then she made a face at Shen Zhiyan.
"Mommy only kisses me, not you. Are you jealous?" She said, trying to provoke her brother.
Shen Zhiyan's cute little face remained expressionless, like a matured adult who had learned to control his emotions.
Shen Shuxin, who knew Shen Zhiyan well, knew that the little guy was throwing a tantrum. She pinched his cheeks and left a kiss on his face as well.
Shen Zhiyan's big dark eyes lifted slightly, and his cheeks turned slightly red. "I'm already six years old. I don't need Mommy's kisses as a reward anymore," he said.
Shen Shuxin couldn't help but laugh and feel annoyed at the same time. She wondered whose bad habit of speaking without thinking hard been inherited!
Thinking of that man, if he were to ask for a kiss like a baby, her heart would tighten and her whole body would tremble...
no,no,no, her mind was filled with that man.
"Okay, okay, okay, we're all grown up now! But today's reward isn't just mommy's kiss, we're also going out for a big meal! What do you want to eat tonight? Mommy promises to get it all for you!"
The two little one's eyes lit up like stars in the night sky when they heard Shen Shuxin was taking them out for a big meal.
Shen Shuxin puffed her cheeks and said in a milky voice, "Mommy, I want to eat Squid Ink Spaghetti.
Shen Shuxin chuckled, "Okay, Yue wants to eat Squid ink Spaghetti, Mommy remembers. What about Zhiyan? What does he wants to eat?"
"Wellington Steak," Shen Zhiyan replied in a cool voice.
"Okay! Hurry up and change your clothes, and wipe off the lipstick mark left by mommy on your faces!"
On the way to the restaurant, the waiter stopped the mother and children. "I'm sorry, Miss, this restaurant is Michelin restaurants, and according to the rules, reservations are required."
Shen Shuxin slapped her forehead. She had forgotten about this.
"I'm sorry, please wait a moment." Shen Shuxin said, putting her bags on the nearby table and began to rummage through it.
Suddenly, Shen Zhiyan frowned and held his stomach, "Mommy, my stomach hurts, I want to go to the restroom."
Shen Shuxin smiled slightly, "Okay, Zhiyan, you and Yue go together, Mommy will find something here."
"Mhmm." Shen Zhiyan took Shen Yue's hand and they walked towards the restroom together.
"Shen Shuxin's mommy bag was too big, and she rummaged through it for a while before finding what she needed.
Finally finding the item, Shen Shuxin breathed a sign of relief and clutched it in her hand.
Before Shen Shuxin could hand the item to the Server, the server suddenly turned around with a pleasing smile on his face. "Mr. Xue, hello!"
The person was none other than Xue Mao, Shen Tingsheng's assistant. Xue Mao took a glance at Shen Shuxin and his eyes widened in surprise.
Isn't this the masked Assistant Shen? What is she doing here?
After thinking for a moment, Xue Mao kindly greeted Shen Shuxin and reminded her, "Miss Shen, this restaurant requires reservation. Without one, there won't be any seats available."
Shen Shuxin smiled slightly, "Xue Assistant, I know that. Thanks for telling me." She said in a calm tone.
Xue Mao continued to be helpful and suggested, "Miss Shen, there's another restaurant nearby that's also quite good. If you don't have a reservation, you can try eating there.
Shen Shuxin smiled and said, "That won't be necessary."
Xue Mao was confused, thinking he hadn't explain clearly enough, "This restaurant requires reservation..."
Shen Shuxin turned to the waiter and said, "I already know about the situation the gentleman just mentioned. What I want to ask is whether there are any other situations where reservation aren't necessary?"
The waiter's eyes flashed with impatience, "Yes, but not everyone meets the requirements for not needing a reservation."
Shen Shuxin noticed the waiter's distain but didn't get angry, "Then tell me, what are the conditions for not needing a reservation?"
The waiter cleared his throat, and decided to shut down this arrogant woman with facts. "Ma'am,you need to have a net worth of at least Thirty Million yuan or be an A-list celebrity who can bring us publicity to be able to dine without a reservation."
Shen Shuxin smiled, "Your requirements are quite strict."
"After all, this is a Michelin- starred restaurant. Of course, there are certain standards that need to be met." The waiter was annoyed that Shen Shuxin was blocking him from serving Xue Mao, so his tone became less polite. "Otherwise, anyone could just walk in here."
Shen Shuxin wasn't at all angry. After what had happened with the Bai Family, there were few things that could stir her emotions. She smiled and asked the waiter, "Did you forget to mention one of the conditions?"
"What conditions did I forget to mention? I've been working here for a long time..." The waiter was about to instinctively refuse Shen Shuxin, but suddenly remembered something and sneered, "Now that you mention it, I did forget one condition."
Shen Shuxin raised her eyebrows, "What condition?"
The server cleared his throat arrogantly. "The condition is a black card!"
The black card was a symbol of identity. When the restaurant was established, the owner had distributed ten black cards and instructed all staff to provide the highest level of service to any black cardholders. In Shen City, only Shen Tingsheng, the heir of the Shen Group had one.
