Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1186 - 1188: The Old Ox Returns for Tender Grass (Part 4)

Seeing her almost drooling expression, Ji Chicheng frowned, "Is it really that delicious?"

As he spoke, his long legs already stepping forward, he held Ji Anning’s hand, heading towards the crosswalk.

"But we need to ask Dr. Qiu first."

After a few steps, Ji Anning remembered Qiu Yang and turned back to ask her, "Dr. Qiu, can you eat spicy food?"

Qiu Yang smiled, "I’m a spicy girl; spicy food is no problem for me."

She spoke softly, holding her bag with both hands, walking beside Xiang Yiqing, the breeze brushing past her face, ruffling a few strands of hair on her forehead, which she reached to adjust.

That scene made one feel so peaceful and harmonious.

If you didn’t know, you’d definitely think they were a couple because their steps matched each other so perfectly.

Feeling this way, Ji Anning was even more annoyed at Qiu Yang, "Then... how about pickled fish?"

Earlier, she really did get too excited and forgot about her.

She could be impolite with Xiang Yiqing, but with his friend...

Qiu Yang shook her head, "No problem, the fish there really is delicious, I like it too."

She insisted she could eat spicy, so Ji Anning didn’t pretend anymore and confirmed the pickled fish place.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was packed, but they were lucky as a large private room had just become available.

It was the biggest private room in the restaurant, with windows facing the road outside.

Once they sat down, the waiter immediately came to offer menus and pour water.

"There are so many flavors of pickled fish." Ji Anning opened the first page of the menu and saw many different flavors of pickled fish, feeling a bit confused and said, "I don’t know what flavor Xin Xiaoxiao got for me last time." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Xiang Yiqing heard and, without thinking, confidently answered her, "It must be original flavor, she only loves the original flavor."

Upon hearing this, Ji Anning looked up and said to the waiter, "Then one original flavor, please."

Saying this, she pushed the menu away, "See if you want any other flavors, I just want a plate of pickled fish and their appetizers."

Xiang Yiqing picked up the menu and handed it to Qiu Yang beside him, "See if there’s anything you’d like."

Qiu Yang wasn’t fussy, took the menu, flipped a few pages, and casually ordered two dishes, then pushed the menu back to Xiang Yiqing, "You order the rest."

"Okay." Xiang Yiqing nodded, lowered his head to start looking at the menu, and skillfully ordered dishes, "This, this, and these, one of each."

With a wave of his hand, he ordered seven or eight dishes.

Then he closed the menu and told the waiter, "That will be all for now."

"Alright, please wait a moment." The waiter nodded, took the menu, and left.

The brewed tea was placed on the rotating table, and Xiang Yiqing reached for the teapot, looking at Ji Anning, "I ordered all the dishes Xin Xiaoxiao always orders; since she likes them, you guys should too."

"Mm-hmm."

Having been silent all along, Ji Chicheng, who usually wouldn’t speak unless necessary, suddenly nodded in response to Xiang Yiqing.

Ji Anning turned her head in surprise to look at him.

But his handsome face showed no expression, revealing no hint of emotion.

Ji Anning found it strange, but with Qiu Yang present, she couldn’t ask, so she pouted, just as Xiang Yiqing poured her tea, and she reached out to hold the teacup in her hands.

"Waiter, please bring another cup of boiled water."
