Daddy's Gourmet Shop
Chapter 462 - 451: Tool for Fulfilling Emotional Needs
The night worked hard to draw the curtain, gradually covering the afterglow of the sunset, leaving only a hint of red in the sky emitting light.
A black rideshare car hurriedly drove into West City Old Street just before the sun completely set.
Even though it was rush hour, there weren’t many pedestrians on the Old Street, and there was no traffic at all. The driver drove the car smoothly to the corner of West City Old Street.
Screech!
The screeching brake left a deep black mark on the road.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Xiaoxiao quickly turned her head to look out the window, glanced around, and then fixed her gaze on the sign of a shop not far away.
The bold and powerful words "So Delicious" instantly caught her eye.
This is it!
Huh?
Why aren’t there any customers in line?
While Xiaoxiao looked delighted, she was also slightly puzzled.
She had done her homework in advance and knew that at this time, a long line should have formed in front of Delicious Restaurant.
But now...
There’s not a soul in sight at the entrance!
Looking through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, she also didn’t see anyone dining inside!
As Xiaoxiao wondered, the voice of the driver sounded in her ear: "Hello, we’ve arrived."
"Oh, okay, thank you~"
Liu Feifei, who had been listening to music, nodded in response upon hearing the driver’s reminder, and adjusted the sunglasses on her nose, showing a charming signature smile.
Of course, no man could appreciate this charming smile.
Including the driver.
Because the smile was covered by a thick mask.
Liu Feifei glanced sideways at Xiaoxiao beside her and saw she was dazed, prompting her to remind her: "Xiaoxiao, please pay!"
"Oh~"
Coming back to her senses, Xiaoxiao wasted no time, quickly scanned to pay with her phone, and informed the driver: "The money is paid~"
After speaking, she quickly put away her phone, opened the passenger door, and after getting out of the car, habitually walked to the back seat, opened the door respectfully, and put a hand on the door frame, afraid Liu Feifei might bump her head when getting out.
Liu Feifei, who originally wanted to tell Xiaoxiao there was no need to open the door for her, saw it was too late, so she gracefully stepped out with her long legs.
The driver watched this scene, a bit perplexed.
After all, such a scene and action were only seen in TV dramas and were rare in real life.
He didn’t think much of it, just assumed it was some rich young lady with her maid experiencing life!
Don’t ask why he thought that.
Just because the woman in the back seat had an extraordinary aura, the kind that’s either rich or noble!
At this moment, after Liu Feifei got out of the car, Xiaoxiao closed the door and headed towards Delicious Restaurant.
On the way, Liu Feifei belatedly advised Xiaoxiao that next time when she is out alone, she shouldn’t make a big show of opening the car door for her and escorting her out, to avoid arousing suspicion and getting recognized.
Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, indicating she would be mindful next time.
During the conversation, the two arrived at the entrance of So Delicious. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Liu Feifei looked up at the sign: "So Delicious? This is the place, right?"
"But wasn’t it said that there are always long lines here? Why is there not a single person now? And why is it ’the iron general’ guarding the door?"
She looked at the deserted entrance, saw nothing, then noticed the door tightly closed with a large lock, and her brows slightly furrowed.
It’s not even five yet; why is it closed?
Or not opened yet?
If it hadn’t opened, shouldn’t there be many customers waiting outside?
The situation in front of her puzzled her.
She clearly remembered Twitter saying this place was open early, midday, and evening, and it was so popular that people lined up even outside of meal times.
Therefore, after dealing with the film crew’s matters, she sent away the driver of the crew’s arranged babysitter car, then, following Xiaoxiao’s arrangement, wore sunglasses, a mask, and a hat to take a rideshare to West City Old Street.
However, after all this fuss, she arrived here at around five.
Even a bit late, it’s literally mealtime...
Beside her, Xiaoxiao voiced her thoughts: "Feifei, I was just wondering, do you think the restaurant might not be open tonight?"
What she said made so much sense that one couldn’t argue...
"Probably..."
Liu Feifei’s voice was full of regret.
She came with an empty stomach to enjoy the legendary delicacy, but ended up with nothing.
So you can imagine how unpleased she was!
That’s just how she is!
Whenever she’s in a bad mood, she immediately wants to eat something.
All the worries and unhappiness will vanish at the moment she starts eating.
That’s right!
She just uses food as a tool to compensate for her emotional needs.
So, her beautiful eyes landed on the convenience store next to the Delicious Restaurant: "Xiaoxiao, can you go to the convenience store next door and buy me something to eat?"
Xiaoxiao respectfully asked, "Feifei, what would you like to eat?"
"Um~"
On a whim, Liu Feifei was stumped by the question.
She really didn’t know what she specifically felt like eating.
She thought it over!
She remembered someone mentioning Sichun Pure Milk on Weibo.
Since she couldn’t get the mung bean milk from the Delicious Restaurant, she went for the Sichun Pure Milk!
Once her mind was made up, she smiled and said, "Sichun Pure Milk!"
"Okay, Feifei, just stay here, I’ll go buy it right away..."
Xiaoxiao quickly ran towards Jiang Guowei’s convenience store.
Liu Feifei continued to wait in place,
A gust of wind blew, knocking off her wide-brimmed hat onto the ground, rolling a few times.
She hurriedly stepped forward on her high heels, click-clack-click-clack, to pick it up.
Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up, a hand moved faster than her.
The person picked up the hat, wearing a gentle smile, handed the hat to her: "This is your hat, right?"
"Yes, it’s mine."
Liu Feifei nodded gratefully to the other person: "Thank you!"
This slight nod caused the large sunglasses on her nose to slide down a bit, revealing a pair of beautiful big eyes.
Just as Liu Qianqian was about to say "You’re welcome," she was momentarily stunned, feeling that these eyes looked so familiar.
Like she had seen them somewhere!
She couldn’t help but study Liu Feifei carefully.
Finally.
She realized it.
"Feifei? Is it really Feifei?" Liu Qianqian was a bit excited and wanted to confirm once more.
She was indeed recognized!
Liu Feifei nodded to her with embarrassment.
"Who is it? Do you know her?" Lin Hongyi asked puzzledly.
"Hongyi, it’s Liu Feifei!" Liu Qianqian patted his shoulder, a bit excited, and said: "Don’t you remember? That xianxia drama you really liked back then was starring Liu Feifei..."
Lin Hongyi didn’t really remember. He’s not a fan of celebrities, and after watching a TV series, he usually forgets it. But thanks to Liu Qianqian’s reminder, he had a vague impression because back then, besides being drawn in by the plot, a big part of why he watched the series was the leading lady’s looks.
Unexpectedly, after all these years, she’s still as beautiful, even more mature and charming!
Seeing the legendary goddess in front of him, Lin Hongyi naturally wanted to seize this rare opportunity, so he asked with a smile: "Liu Feifei, can I take a picture with you?"
"Of course!" Liu Feifei nodded warmly and agreed.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hongyi was as happy as a 200-pound guy, quickly handed his phone to Liu Qianqian to help with the picture, then ran to Liu Feifei’s side, grinning foolishly the whole time.
Liu Feifei also politely took off her mask and sunglasses, and smiled at the camera.
Their smiles were forever captured in the camera.
Then Liu Qianqian, with Liu Feifei’s consent, quickly let Lin Hongyi take a photo of her with Liu Feifei as well.
After they finished taking photos and signing autographs,
Xiaoxiao came back with the Sichun Pure Milk that Liu Feifei wanted, already with a straw inserted considerately, handing it to Liu Feifei.
Seeing that someone recognized her Feifei and asked for a photo, she worried that if they stayed longer, more people would recognize her,
Which might easily cause chaos, so she smiled politely and said to Liu Qianqian and the others: "Sorry, but we have to go now."
An understanding Liu Feifei hurriedly put her hat, mask, and sunglasses back on.
"Okay, take care."
Liu Qianqian smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Liu Feifei waved friendly to them.
Liu Qianqian felt that Liu Feifei holding the milk carton still looked so beautiful, with a hint of cuteness...
So...
She couldn’t help but pick up her camera and capture Liu Feifei’s lovely appearance.
