After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.

He didn't yell or scream, nor did he immediately lash out.

Instead, she took long strides and quietly walked up behind the man in the floral shirt.

While the man was still nagging Xia Yu to scan the code.

Jiang Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder.

"Holy crap! Who is it?!"

The man was startled by the sudden force; the bones in his shoulder were pinched painfully. He cursed instinctively and turned his head.

What came into view was Jiang Ye's face, which had a slightly roguish air about it.

Jiang Ye ignored the man's exclamation.

He leisurely took out his phone from his shorts pocket, skillfully opened WeChat, and brought up his QR code business card.

"Come on, let's add each other on WeChat, right?"

Jiang Ye looked down at the stunned man, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Add me!

"I'd like to see who wants to add me on WeChat!!"

"What's wrong? Over thirty and still can't find a girlfriend, with less hair than the money in my wallet, and you come to this desolate inn and suddenly you've found one?"

"Add me! I'll have a good chat with you!"

Jiang Ye's barrage of venomous words completely stunned the man in the floral shirt.

The few customers in the restaurant who were already there turned around to watch the commotion, and some even covered their mouths and chuckled.

The man in the floral shirt turned pale and then flushed as Jiang Ye publicly humiliated him.

He originally wanted to lash out, but when he looked up and met Jiang Ye's cold, sharp eyes, which seemed to have seen blood, he was shocked.

A chill ran down his spine.

His intuition told him that the young man in front of him, dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, was definitely a tough character, someone he couldn't afford to mess with.

"Are you...you're insane?!"

The man cursed loudly but was actually quite weak, without even daring to pick up the beer on the table.

He suddenly stood up and, like a defeated rooster, slunk away, disappearing in the blink of an eye outside the inn's gate.

Watching the greasy man flee in panic.

Xia Yu, who had been keeping a cold face, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Pfft—"

Xia Yu covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

"How can you be so mean?"

Xia Yu laughed while giving Jiang Ye a reproachful glare.

"What do you mean by having less hair than money in your wallet? He's a 'successful person' wearing a big gold watch, after all."

Jiang Ye pulled out the chair opposite Xia Yu and sat down casually.

"Tch, his watch is obviously fake. The luminous pearl on the Submariner is crooked. And he calls himself a successful person?"

"To deal with this kind of fly, you have to swat it dead, otherwise it can buzz around your ear all day."

After finishing his tea, Jiang Ye rubbed his still-protesting stomach.

"Alright, I'm starving! Have you ordered yet? What do you want to eat?" Jiang Ye asked, tapping the table.

Xia Yu pushed the menu in front of her towards Jiang Ye.

"You decide!!!!"

Xia Yu rested her chin on her hands and said confidently.

Jiang Ye paused for a moment, looking at the menu that had been pushed in front of him.

"Didn't I tell you to come down and order first? Why am I having to decide now?"

Xia Yu pursed her lips and sighed helplessly.

"I don't know what to eat either."

"I have decision-making anxiety!"

Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xia Yu's conflicted expression.

He did not refuse again.

Jiang Ye picked up the menu and quickly scanned it.

"Okay, I'll order."

"Boss lady, I'd like to order."

"Give me one of your signature dishes, stone pot yellow catfish, with extra perilla and wild chili peppers, and make it extra spicy."

"And another stir-fried mountain potatoes, the outer skin should be fried until crispy."

"Let's stir-fry some seasonal vegetables, like the stir-fried pumpkin vines, to cut through the richness."

"Finally, let's have a soup of free-range chicken, mushrooms, and sliced ​​pork. The soup should be simmered until it's quite thick."

"Oh, by the way, bring me a bucket of rice first, I'm starving."

Jiang Ye ordered food extremely quickly, with a mix of meat and vegetables, both dry and soupy dishes, and all of them were the most distinctive local specialties of this inn.

The waiter quickly jotted down the order and said with a smile, "Alright, handsome, you have great taste! These are all our best-selling dishes, we'll arrange them for you right away!"

Watching Jiang Ye order the food with effortless ease, he handed the menu to the waiter.

Xia Yu, sitting opposite, paused for a moment.

She suddenly felt pretty good.

She has always had a severe case of decision-making difficulties.

At the company, when faced with investment projects worth tens or even hundreds of millions, she can be decisive and ruthless, signing and stamping documents without even blinking.

However, once they return to daily life...

When faced with trivial matters like "what to eat for lunch today" or "which color clothes to buy," she would fall into deep entanglement and pain.

In the past, when she ate alone, she would often spend half an hour scrolling through food delivery apps and finally just order a salad to get by.

But now.

Looking at Jiang Ye sitting opposite him.

Xia Yu suddenly felt that this feeling of not having to worry at all and being able to let the other person help her make choices was simply wonderful.

She doesn't need to worry about which dish is delicious, or about the balance of meat and vegetables.

All she had to do was sit there, drink tea, and wait for the man to arrange everything.

.......

The inn served the food very quickly.

Before long, four steaming hot dishes were served.

The yellow catfish in the hot stone pot made a "bubbling" sound, and the bright red soup was boiling and emitting an enticing spicy aroma.

The stir-fried baby potatoes were golden and crispy, the stir-fried pumpkin vines were lush and green, and the soup with matsutake mushrooms and sliced ​​meat was incredibly fragrant.

"Eat up and try it, see how it tastes." Jiang Ye handed Xia Yu a pair of chopsticks.

Xia Yu was starving.

She picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth.

The fish is tender and melts in your mouth. The unique aroma of perilla and the spiciness of wild chili peppers blend perfectly, instantly stimulating your taste buds.

"Hmm!"

Xia Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

The dishes arrived, and they were all delicious.

She then tasted the small potatoes and pumpkin vines; every dish was unexpectedly delicious and perfectly suited her taste.

"Jiang Ye, this dish is so delicious!"

As Xia Yu ate, she praised Jiang Ye without reservation: "You're such a good orderer! These dishes are perfectly matched, even better than what I've had at Michelin-starred restaurants in Hanzhou!"

Upon hearing Xia Yu's praise, Jiang Ye, who was about to pick up some food, suddenly stopped.

He held up his chopsticks, looking at the woman across from him who was eating with relish and full of admiration, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

When can I get compliments for ordering food?

This is just a trivial and ordinary little thing.

However, Xia Yu's sincere praise was like a key that suddenly unlocked a long-sealed memory deep in Jiang Ye's mind.

He recalled the days he spent with Shen Qinghan.

During those seven years, at the Shen family home, the situation was completely the opposite.

Jiang Ye remembers clearly that no matter what he ordered, he would always be scolded.

In Shen Qinghan's eyes, Jiang Ye was wrong no matter what he did.

If the food is bland, she says it has no flavor; if the food is plentiful, she says it's wasteful and greasy.

Even if he were to take his heart out and present it to her, she would still find it disgusting because it was stained with blood.

But now.

It's the same as ordering food.

Xia Yu not only didn't complain, but ate so happily that she even gave him the most sincere praise for such a trivial matter.

Jiang Ye looked at Xia Yu's face, which was beaming with happiness from eating delicious food.

He slowly put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and concealed the complex emotions surging in his eyes.

He let out a long sigh in his heart.

It's amazing how different women can be!
