chapter-269
The Benz was breezing smoothly on the road. Lin Shuai had been slapped in the face the whole morning; now his face was totally dark. Although he didn't dare peek at Rao Shi Man from the rearview mirror again, he could tell by ear—Qin Feng was flirting with Rao Shi Man in the back seat again.
And Rao Shi Man's silvery laugh drifted over from time to time. This meant she was amused by Qin Feng and both of them had shared a sweet moment.
Lin Shuai drove the car directly to the French restaurant. This restaurant was the most formal restaurant in Acropolis City. When Lin Shuai remembered they were having French cuisine later, the gloom in Lin Shuai's heart soon faded away. His mission for the day had finally come. It's my turn to shine now!
He imagined giving Qin Feng a strong slap in the face, by highlighting his nobility and his vast international cultural knowledge, and showing off in front of Rao Shi Man when they arrived at the French restaurant. Lin Shuai's mood suddenly improved and the car sped up accordingly.
Soon, the Benz stopped outside a castle-like Western restaurant. Lin Shuai got out the car first and then opened the door at the back. He escorted Rao Shi Man and Qin Feng like a driver as they alighted from the car."Miss Shi Man, this French restaurant is the most formal Western restaurant in Acropolis City. The attendants and chefs here are all from France. Later when you're inside the restaurant, you'll feel as if you are in France."
Lin Shuai had lost face at the Prada store. Now he had to grasp every single chance to recover his image in front of Rao Shi Man.
Rao Shi Man gave Lin Shuai a cold stare; she was too lazy to talk with this guy. She waited until Qin Feng caught up with them and then followed him into the restaurant.
"Mister and miss, this way please!" As soon as Qin Feng and Rao Shi Man stepped into the restaurant, two blue-eyed blondes welcomed them warmly. Both of them spoke authentic French, even Rao Shi Man couldn't understand them.
Lin Shuai stepped forward suddenly. Putting on the air of a prince with his head and chest up, he blurted out a string of fluent French lines. "Hi, we've three people here. Please give us a table near a window with nice view."
After he finished speaking, he gave a challenging glare at Qin Feng and then looked at Rao Shi Man with a face full of smiles.
"Shi Man, I've arranged for a window seat with a scenery view for you. Only that can match your elegance and beauty."When Lin Shuai spoke a mouthful of fluent French all of a sudden, Rao Shi Man was slightly amazed. After that, the three of them followed one of the beauties through the restaurant.
They were seated by a large floor window.
Qin Feng and Rao Shi Man sat on one side and Lin Shuai sat opposite Qin Feng.
"Shi Man, the French dishes prepared by this restaurant are authentic French cuisine. I come here for a meal occasionally. I'd already gotten used to authentic French cuisine when I was studying in France. I just cannot accept others that are not authentic."
Once Lin Shuai sat down, he started to boast about himself again. He pushed the menu to Rao Shi Man and said, "Miss Shi Man, just order whichever you please; it's all on my tab."
Rao Shi Man gave Lin Shuai a scornful gaze when she heard Lin Shuai was going to pay the tab again. She still hadn't forgotten the incident in the Prada store.
"Hehe! Miss Shi Man, I'll definitely pick up the tab this time. Don't be so reserved; order as you please." The expense for this meal was the least of his concerns as this meal would be covered by Royal Group.
In order to maintain its authenticity and high standards, all the workers in this French restaurant were French; even the menu was in French. Ordinary people would order casually by comparing the pictures of the food and their prices. Only a person who studied in France or had some proficiency in the French language would order by naming the dishes.
Lin Shuai was an elite that studied in France. He deliberately handed the menu to Rao Shi Man because he knew that although Rao Shi Man was a top-tier celebrity, she wouldn't have had the free time to learn French.
"Shi Man, let me introduce a few dishes to you… I personally think this
foie gras suits you the best. This dish can revitalize your skin and nourish your blood; a woman can become a hundred years younger if she consumes it. Let's not forget about this fried lamb chop with rosemary in the French style; the meat is very tender and juicy while the taste is just remarkable. Besides these two dishes, they have macarons, bacon, creamy mushroom soup…
"Aish! I'm drooling over it now!"
Rao Shi Man was slightly embarrassed. She was hostile to Lin Shuai. He was a pretentious person and liked to blow his own horn. She didn't want Lin Shuai ordering for her.
But Rao Shi Man herself was not so well-versed in French. Every time she went to a French restaurant, it was her assistant who ordered for her. Now, she could only poke Qin Feng's arm and put all her hope in him, wishing he could rescue her from this awkward situation.
When Rao Shi Man and Lin Shuai looked at Qin Feng, both of them were dumbstruck and their jaws dropped to the floor.
Qin Feng wasn't concerned about ordering dishes. He was now chatting up the blue-eyed blonde beauty in fluent French. Although Rao Shi Man couldn't understand the language, she could tell from how the beautiful attendant was blushing that not only could Qin Feng speak French, but he could speak it very well. His language proficiency was so great that he could even flirt with girls.
Indeed, Qin Feng knew how to speak French. He was not only well-versed in the French language, he could speak all the languages of the world's eight major countries too. The reason was simple—he deliberately learned it just to hook up with girls around the world.
Even Lin Shuai was looking at him with an amazed expression. This was because he noticed Qin Feng's French was way more colloquial than his own.
"Beauty, you have a faint lavender scent on your body and the fragrance is so alluring and charming, just like you… Let me guess, your hometown must be in the south of France—the lavender capital, Provence. Right?"
