Chapter 4181: The Other Side 150

The actor and Natalia left the house shortly after 10am. The actor had arranged for a ride ahead of time. The car was already waiting at the gate.

The driver and his assistant immediately got out and loaded their bags into the trunk. The actor carried Natalia and placed her in the backseat before getting in after her.

He had arranged with Yun Shishi to meet at the airport. The 1pm flight had been brought forward two hours. It looked like lunch would have to be a quick affair at the airport.

When Hua Jin arrived at the airport, he received a call from Yun Shishi saying that she was still on the way.

When the actor asked, she explained that it was because Yueyao had overslept in the morning and they were only just leaving, hence they were running late. She also reminded Hua Jin to take Natalia to lunch in the meantime.

It’s usual for meals to be taken in a hurry when traveling, because there are flights to catch.

But there were many restaurants housed within the capital’s international airport. The vast majority of them served simple meals targeted at a range of international travelers. There were American restaurants, Chinese restaurants, Italian restaurants, among others.

Natalia wanted to eat roast duck, but that put Hua Jin in a difficult position.

Roast duck? Where would they find authentic roast duck in this airport?

Natalia had recently become obsessed with roast duck; she had also been showing great enthusiasm for Chinese food. Perhaps it was because she had grown up in the USA. In that environment, the vast majority of American food was high in calories. Like hot dogs, burgers, cheese, and localized American Chinese food.

Taste-wise, they weren’t great. Having been adjusted to the taste of the locals in the USA, the original flavors of Chinese cuisine were lost. Ever since Hua Jin took Natalia to eat roasted duck following their return to the country, she had shown great enthusiasm for Chinese food! It was delicious!

However, most of the food at the airport was simple and fast. Where would they find an authentic Peking duck? It wasn’t easy but Hua Jin finally found a Chinese-style restaurant. He looked through the menu and picked a roast duck set. It probably wasn’t authentic, but at least it was roast duck!

He tried a bite of it and true enough, it was average although not awful. Just that it was a far cry from authentic roast duck.

He was a little uneasy, afraid that Natalia wouldn’t be used to the taste. Unexpectedly, the girl was easily satisfied. With food placed before her, she ate without a care.

Little glutton!

So easily satisfied, just like that?

Hua Jin remarked under his breath at how unpalatable American food must be, that the little lass would be so easily satisfied with such a mediocre roast duck combo.

Natalia ate and chewed slowly. Because they had some time to spare, the actor took Natalia around the shops in the airport after lunch. There were many duty-free shops in the airport. It just so happened that he had run out of skincare products at home, so Hua Jin bought some.

Natalia grew bored. She didn’t understand the purpose of these delicate-looking bottles on the shelves. They were neither pretty nor edible. So she pestered the actor to leave.

Hua Jin was queuing to pay and it was almost his turn. “Just a minute, okay?” he coaxed. “Just a minute. I’ll be done in a minute!”

“But it’s so boring here.”

The duty-free shop was crowded with people. The crowd was dense and the air stale. Natalia wasn’t used to this and wanted to get out quickly.
