Empress Running Away With The Ball

ch. 105-106

Chapter 105: Eyes like crescent moons

"I remember. No matter what he talks to this servant about, this servant will always respond with I don't know." Xiao Ru honestly nodded as she looked at Xiao Si's back. She could help whispering, "Young miss, this servant thinks these two people are quite alright. Why do you not like them?"

"What is good about them?" Chen Ning tilted her head to look at Xiao Ru. She was a little curious.

"Well, they young master lots of money is rich and generous, also he seems quite strong. He was able to beat up that group of bad guys with just one hand, saving us. Also that Xiao Si, he has a nice smile. His eyes curve just like the crescent moon in the sky. This servant really likes his smile." Xiao Ru replied without any hesitation.

She gave an answer for each one of them. It was unknown whether the two men in front of them could hear what they were saying.

Xiao Ru's eyes shined and he couldn't help curling his lip.

His eyes were like crescent moons? Why did he not know this? That's not right, he had to go back and look in a mirror to see if they were like crescent moons.

The black clothed man looked at the smiling Xiao Si. His eyes filled with pondering.

"We're here." He suddenly stopped.

"Tai He Floor?" Chen Ning saw the plaque hanging high above her and the three golden words written on the black plaque. She couldn't help being stunned.

She didn't expect that the man would bring her here for dinner.

The Tai He Floor was completely different from when they came here two days ago.

In front of the restaurant, there was a long line that lead to the end of the street. It was impossible to see the end of the line.

There were two waiter standing outside the door who were constantly explaining to guests that came for a meal, "The restaurant is full, please wait at the back of the line."

Looking in from the main doors, the huge hall was packed and there were even several temporary tables set up, everything was completely filled. The waiters were quickly sending out dishes and sweating from their work, but their faces were all red like they were excited about something.

The shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter, counting his revenue with his abacus. His smile stretched from mouth to mouth, it didn't seem like it would close.

Across from the Tai He floor was also another first class restaurant of the capital city named Drunken Immortal Residence. Normally its business would be around the same as Tai He Floor, but today it was completely empty. The door was open, but there were no customers sitting at the tables. The waiters were yawning and the shopkeeper was tapping his cheek as he watched the Tai He Floor across the street while clearly sulking.

"Why......Why is the Tai He Floor so popular?"

When Xiao Ru saw this scene, her chin almost fell to the floor.

"For the answer to this, you need to ask your young miss." The one who answered her question was the black clothed man who had been silent the whole time.

He consciously and unconsciously looked at Chen Ning.

Chen Ning gave a few low coughs and rubbed her chin.

Of course she knew the reason why Tai He Floor had become this popular.

"Aiya, miss it's you! You took the time to visit us and I haven't come to visit you. Miss please forgive me."

The Tai He Floor shopkeeper raised his head and saw Chen Ning and the others standing at the door. His eyes immediately lit up.

He happily came outside to offer a enthusiastic greeting.

He was only looking at Chen Ning and ignored the other three people.

"Well, we haven't see each other in two days and it seems like shopkeeper has met a great fortune. Congratulations, congratulations." Chen Ning smiled as she cupped her hands.

Chapter 106: Who says I don't dare

"No, no. The reason why the store's business is so good is all because of the four recipes we received from this miss. Those four dishes, as long as the guests eat them, they will always be filled with praises. One person passes it onto ten people and ten people passes it onto a hundred people. In just two days, it had been spread across the entire capital and now everyone is coming here just to order these four dishes. Miss, you really a benefactor of this shop!" The shopkeeper's smile bloomed like a flower.

"Oh, your chef could make these four dishes? Then we must have a taste. But your business seems so good and there's no table left, so we'll come back on another day." Chen Ning looked at the long line outside the door.

"There's space, there's space. Miss is the benefactor of our Tai He Floor, so no matter when you come, there is always space. Oh, there's also three other guests. Come in, come in."

The shopkeeper personally lead the way as he brought the four of them to the third floor.

There was only a single room on the third floor which had been prepared for the most distinguished customers. It had a quiet and serene decor which made it seem very luxurious.

After the four of them had been seated, the shopkeeper continued to enthusiastically talk to Chen Ning as he tried to curry favour with her.

The black clothed man was very impatient and stared at him with a cold gaze.

The shopkeeper suddenly felt a chill run down his back and his body freezing. He shrunk in his neck and then looked over at the closed window. He thought in his mind, the window is closed, so where is this cold wind coming from?

Xiao Si could not help baring his teeth.

This shopkeeper truly is an idiot. Did he not see my master coldly staring at him, trying to freeze him to death? He actually dares to keep talking to this girl.

"Ke, ke, ke, shopkeeper, you've said enough. Let's bring some dishes up here." Xiao Si couldn't help speaking out.

He saw that the black clothed man had already clenched his hand into a fist, so he decided to save this shopkeeper before his master punched him in the nose.

"Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes, yes, this little one has said too much. This little one will bring the dishes immediately."

The shopkeeper finally came back to his senses. When his eyes met the black clothed man's eyes, his body turned numb just like he had been frozen.

How terrifying!

How did he dare to stay here. He bid farewell to Chen Ning and quickly left.

The room was finally quiet.

All of a sudden, no one said a single word.

If Chen Ning raised her eyes, she would see the black clothed man sitting in front of her.

He did not say a thing as he quietly sat there without any expressions on his face, his black eyes stared at her without even blinking. An dull unpredictable glow shined in his eyes.

 That oppressive feeling once again set in. Although the two of them were separated by a table, Chen Ning still felt like it was hard to breathe.

She had originally thought about looking at the man's face and reading into his thoughts, but being stared at by him just made her feel uncomfortable. She could not help looking away, making sure their gazes did not meet.

"Are you afraid of me?" The man suddenly said.

"Who says that!" Chen Ning reflexively responded.

"Why do you not dare to look at me?" The man stared at her.

"Who says I don't dare?"

Chen Ning was surprised by him, so she could only look up at the man's gaze.

His eyes seemed to have the power to enchant people. It was unpredictable and deep like the ocean. Like the surging tide, it surrounded her from all directions.

Once she met his gaze, her heart suddenly began to beat fast, just like a little deer running fast in the meadows of her heart.

Unconsciously her face began to heat up as she blinked her long eyelashes.
