Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1124
Adam was so close to Anthea's ear that his thin lips almost touched her ear lobe.
No one nearby could hear what they were talking about. Anthea was deeply fascinated by Adam's deep and magnetic voice.
She felt as if she had been shot in the heart by the Cupid's arrow.
She looked down at the man's coat covering her thighs.
Just like what she usually did in the disaster-stricken area, Anthea was today wearing a skirt which was not short. The skirt's hemline was indeed above the kneebone, but when she sat down, parts of her thighs were revealed, and that's why Adam covered them with his coat. Now, nobody could see Anthea's thighs.
Anthea looked at Adam, who had returned to his seat on the opposite side, and his words were still echoing in her ears.
"Uncle Chin is so overbearing!" She thought.
However, she liked his overbearing disposition very much.
After taking off the coat, Adam was still wearing a dark shirt. He rolled up the sleeve to his elbow, revealing his strong forearms.
His black eyes swept across the opposite side, and the waiter, who was standing near Anthea, immediately felt his heart trembling. The waiter knew clearly the warning message indirectly suggested by Adam's eye expressions. He hurriedly withdrew his eyes from the coat covering Anthea's thighs and didn't dare to look at it anymore.
At this time, the dishes were served.
This restaurant was specialized in cooking cuisines of the Yangtze River, which were particularly delicate with excellent color, aroma, and taste.
Adam had ordered six dishes and a pot of soup. Although each of the dishes was relatively small, all the dishes put together could still allow them to eat their fills.
Anthea felt that every one of the dishes was delicious, and she liked the Lion's Head the most.
The Lion's Head was a famous dish among the cuisines of the Yangtze River. Each Lion's Head was about the size of a man's fist, and it looked particularly interesting. The taste was very delicious and, of course, it could be ranked as a high-end cuisine.
There were only four Lion's Heads in the porcelain bowl which was in black and white colors. Anthea ate three of them first. When she was about to eat the last one, she felt that she really couldn't eat anymore However, she had already taken two bites of the last Lion's Head. It was a waste to throw it away, she thought.
Anthea sighed and said, "I can't eat anymore!"
When Adam heard this, he saw that Anthea was staring at the Lion's Head in the bowl with a bitter face.
He raised his arm and took it into his bowl with his chopsticks.
Anthea watched the Lion's Head being directly put into Adam's mouth.
Adam ate the Lion's Head naturally, as if he didn't know that Anthea had already taken two bites of it.
Anthea blushed a little all of a sudden.
There was still her saliva in the Lion's Head...
Adam noticed that Anthea had put down her chopsticks as if she was full now. There was an air of embarrassment in her whole expression, and her hands rested on her belly. She blushed under the lamplight. He glanced at the air conditioner and found that the temperature was not high.
Thinking that Anthea might feel hot here, Adam asked, "Would you like to try some ice creams here?
They are very delicious." "But I can't eat anymore!" Anthea was in a dilemma.
"I'll eat the rest if you can't eat them all," Adam said in a low voice.
Anthea's cheeks turned a little red again. She said expectantly, "Then I'll have a look!"
The menu was just placed on the table. She took it and read it casually, wanting to see if there were any delicious ice creams.
Before she could turn to the pages of ice creams, her little face turned pale.
"Wow..."
What on earth did she see on the menu?
Anthea's eyes were widely opened. She almost suspected that there might be something wrong with her eyes.
The menu's prices were so expensive that it could scare an innocent and naive girl like Anthea to death. For example, the Lion's Head was worth 200 dollars per bowl!
The dishes were so expensive that Anthea wished she could ask the restaurant owner this question: Why don't you just become a robber and rob people's money directly? Anthea's values were refreshed and challenged at
once.
She found out the corresponding prices of every dish on the table. Her expression became more and more terrified as she went on. Finally, she roughly calculated the total price of all the dishes on this table, and it turned out to be more than 2,000 U.S. dollars, with the service fee not being included...
Anthea had been raised in the town as a child. Her family was in relatively good conditions.
In addition, her grandfather, Old Master Hsu loved her very much. However, this was still the first time for her to eat a meal that was so expensive!
Adam frowned and said, "Anthea, what's wrong with you?"
Anthea's delicate lips were tightly closed, and her facial features were tightened. She covered her mouth with the menu, leaned forward, and whispered in a low voice, "Uncle Chin, this is a gangster's restaurant!"
"A gangster's restaurant?" Adam was stunned.
"Yes, a gangster's restaurant!" Anthea nodded seriously and pointed to the menu sneakily. "Don't you see the prices on the menu? Aren't they too expensive? Even the dishes to be eaten by the emperor can't be so expensive. Are they the private chefs of the emperor? Don't pay the bill later. I'll argue with them. If they refuse to reduce the prices,
I'll call the police!"
Anthea's mind was now filled with scenes of costume dramas: A pair of poor lovers were dating in a gangster's restaurant. They were blackmailed of all their belongings...
Adam's lips curled up. "This restaurant is positioned as a high-end premise."
Hearing this, Anthea's expression became even more serious. "Uncle Chin, didn't you say that you often come to this restaurant? You are too foolish. I mean... You have become the sucker. Don't come over here again in the future!
...
It's not because you are foolish, but because the boss is too black-hearted... It's true. This restaurant is adjacent to the river, and it had high-class decorations and wonderful services. But the princes are still too high! Such dishes can be easily bought at any smaller restaurant!"
After she finished saying the whole paragraph above, she saw that Adam didn't say anything else. Instead, he was caressing his chin with his hands.
"Why don't you say anything?" Anthea asked him.
Adam replied, "I'm thinking about your words."
Anthea thought that Adam agreed with her words, so she added righteously, "Am I right? This is a gangster's restaurant, and the boss must be a black- hearted man!"
Adam burst out laughing and nodded very cooperatively. "Looks like I'll have to talk to the chefs later and promote the quality of the dishes. I don't feel good to be called a black-hearted boss."
"You want to talk to the chefs... I also want to talk to them..." Anthea suddenly realized something and looked at Adam as if she had just been struck by lightning. "You just said 'I don't feel good to be called a black-hearted boss'... Are you the black-hearted boss of this gangster's restaurant?"
"Yes, I am." Adam nodded.
"!!!" Anthea was frightened and didn't know what to say.
Swallowing her saliva, she asked in disbelief, "Are you kidding me?"
"No," Adam replied.
"Clank..."
The menu in Anthea's hand fell directly to the ground.
She picked it up in a flurry and looked at Adam, who was now the handsome boss of the restaurant sitting in front of her. She still didn't come to her senses and asked, "How could you-" It was true. A military officer needed to face a high level of risks and work hard in his career. Adam was also formerly a member of the special forces. In this regard, his salary should be high. But no matter how high his salary was, it was still impossible for Adam to own such a luxurious restaurant, even if the relevant subsidies and bonuses were taken into consideration! Moreover, Anthea felt that Adam was not the kind of person who would ask for economic help from his family.
Anthea looked at Adam in shock and muttered to herself, "How could you have so much money? Was it from bribery? Or illegal income?" These were her first thoughts.
But after that, Anthea shook her head instantly and added with certainty, "You are not that kind of person!"
Feeling his little girlfriend's unconditional trust, Adam seemed to have drunk a cup of hot tea, and his heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.
Seeing that Anthea's facial features were like those of a kid, serious and naive, Adam joked with her out a whim. "Anthea, if I am really that kind of person, what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Anthea pursed up the corners of her lips hard.
She thought about it seriously for a few seconds and then looked into Adam's eyes, saying, "If so, I'm afraid I won't be able to be a good person in my life. I can only help you to rob people's money as the boss of this restaurant!"
