Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Reserved by Others
Gu Linxi’s repair shop and Huangji Sour and Spicy Noodles were both located in the city center; the taxi quickly arrived at the destination.
She paid the fare and thanked the driver before taking her things and closing the car door.
Now was the peak dinner time, and the surrounding restaurants were basically full, yet Huangji, the best business on this street, was oddly quiet today, as if no one was eating outside.
Rong Yan walked over curiously, just as the landlady came out, and they bumped into each other. Rong Yan glanced at the empty seats inside and asked strangely, “Landlady, aren’t you open today?”
Seeing her ‘regular customer,’ the landlady greeted her with a smile and said, “We are open, but you probably can’t eat here tonight.”
“Uh?”
The landlady quite liked Rong Yan, and on top of that, Rong Yan had a beautiful son who looked like he’d stepped out of a picture book. As an older woman, she liked Rong Yan even more. Since Rong Yan had come, she didn’t intend to hide anything, “It’s a bit funny to say, but the shop has been reserved for the whole evening. The guests who reserved it asked to have the place to themselves, and since we’ve been paid, we had no choice but to keep all the seats empty. How about you come by tomorrow? I’ll add some extra sour and spicy noodles and bean sprouts for you~”
Rong Yan was hearing for the first time that a sour and spicy noodle shop could be reserved.
Moreover, the more she heard about reserving the entire venue, the more it sounded like the style of a certain someone?
It couldn’t be…
Rong Yan couldn’t fathom why he would reserve the entire noodle shop. If it were for reasons like not liking crowds, they had eaten there many times before, and Li Shengxiao had never reserved the entire place.
Rong Yan was a bit uncertain, blinked her bright eyes, and asked the landlady, “Um… can you tell me the name of the person who reserved the place?”
“Well,” the landlady hesitated a little, not knowing whether she could tell Rong Yan. She had been running the sour and spicy noodle shop for decades and had never encountered a reservation of the entire venue. If it weren’t for the fact that the offer was three times her daily revenue, she wouldn’t have wanted to accept it.
For small shops like theirs, they relied on the patronage of regular customers. Having someone come in and not being able to serve them could offend people.
The landlady already felt a bit sorry for making Rong Yan come all this way for nothing, and after only a moment’s hesitation, she said, “I’m not very clear who reserved it, the person didn’t tell me their name, but the money has already been transferred to our account.”
The more Rong Yan listened, the more she felt it must be Li Shengxiao. Her eyes pondered, her red lips pursed, “And here I thought you knew the person’s name.”
“I’m really sorry to have made you come for nothing. How about this, next time you come to the restaurant, I’ll give you a free pig’s trotter soup,” the landlady said apologetically.
Rong Yan wasn’t looking to get something for free, she waved her hand saying, “It’s alright, I was just curious. I was afraid the person who reserved the venue was my boyfriend, so I wanted to ask first.”
“The handsome guy from last time reserved the place?” The landlady was stunned too, staring at Rong Yan wide-eyed.
She had seen Rong Yan’s boyfriend before; with his looks and demeanor, he was definitely someone who could afford this kind of expense!
Rong Yan felt embarrassed under her gaze and quickly said, “I’m not sure if it’s him, let me call and ask him.”
The landlady looked at her as if she saw one of those women with the means to latch onto a wealthy man, and hastily said, “Alright, ask him, go ahead and ask.”
Rong Yan stepped to the side, took out her phone, and was about to make a call to ask.
A car quietly stopped not far from her.
