Chapter 286: Chapter 269: Thinking About Kindergarten Already?

"How about I just get the stir-fried shrimp with bamboo shoots?"

Ning Ruoxi hesitantly picked the cheapest dish on the menu, then passed the tablet to Ye Ling. "I’m not actually that hungry. You can go ahead and order."

"Alright, I’ll take it from here."

Ye Ling had, of course, noticed Ning Ruoxi’s expression. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly as he took the tablet.

’With Ning Ruoxi’s status, would she really care about the prices of these dishes?’

’Of course she wouldn’t!’

’Putting aside her status as the young miss of Ning International, just the money she’s making from Lingxi’s Love has to be in the hundreds of millions, right?’

’The only reason she’s hesitating is because she doesn’t want me to spend too much money!’

’How could I not be willing to spend money on such a sweet girl?’

In fact, it made him want to spoil her even more.

Ye Ling took the tablet and started ordering.

First up, two signature king crabs. The price was staggering—over three thousand yuan for one!

In reality, this price was perfectly normal.

According to current market prices, king crab went for about 600 yuan per jin, and a single crab weighed around three to four kilograms, with the largest reaching up to ten!

In other words, even the cheapest king crab would cost close to two thousand yuan.

Ye Ling only ordered two—not because he was worried about the cost, but because he was afraid they wouldn’t be able to finish them.

Especially Ning Ruoxi. Given her appetite, she’d have a hard time finishing even one crab on her own!

Besides the king crabs, Ye Ling also ordered salt and pepper mantis shrimp, steamed green clams with garlic, stir-fried red whelks, hot and sour geoduck soup, and a serving of coconut rice.

That was already a lot of food, so he only ordered one portion of the rice, planning to share it with Ning Ruoxi.

And just then, Ning Ruoxi decided to be cheeky.

"Aren’t you going to order any oysters? You should get some. You need to... build up your strength," Ning Ruoxi said teasingly, a playful smirk on her lips.

The young waitress standing nearby immediately blushed. She knew exactly what "strength" oysters were supposed to build up.

"You talk too much."

Ye Ling tapped her lightly on the head in exasperation. Still, with a stern look on his face, he added an order of oysters and some clams.

To be fair, shrimp is supposedly quite the aphrodisiac too, so besides these items, Ye Ling didn’t order anything else...

After all, Brother Ling was only a bit nutrient-deficient, not... you know, deficient in *other* areas!

"Alright, that should be all," Ye Ling said, handing the tablet back to the young waitress.

"Are you sure you want the 2001 Herlo Wine?" the waitress asked after taking the tablet and glancing at the order, feeling the need to confirm.

Herlo Wine’s formal name was actually ’Pétrus,’ from the Pétrus winery. Like other famous brands such as Lafite and Romanée-Conti, it was considered one of the top ten red wines in the world!

The 1998 vintage of Herlo Wine was said to have a uniquely perfect flavor profile, making it a legendary product on par with the ’82 Lafite.

But precisely because of its legendary status, most bottles on the market were fakes. After all, how much wine could a single winery truly produce?

While there might still be some authentic bottles of the 1998 Herlo Wine out there, it was a different story for the ’82 Lafite. Any bottles you found on the open market were almost certainly fakes.

As for the 2001 Herlo Wine, while it couldn’t compare to the 1998 vintage, it was still considered a year with a rather fine taste.

A single bottle cost nearly thirty thousand yuan!

It was because of this exorbitant price that the waitress had felt the need to confirm with Ye Ling.

"Yes, that’s right."

Ye Ling nodded, his reply casual.

"Very good. I’ll go get that started."

The young waitress nodded and turned to leave.

She didn’t act like a character out of some cheap novel, asking Ye Ling to pay upfront or anything of the sort.

Honestly, only an idiot would pull a stunt like that.

Why?

Because this was Sanya City Center!

Did they really think someone would try to dine and dash here?

Not a chance. One call to the Patrol Office, and not only would you be forced to cough up the money, but you’d also get a black mark on your credit record. Forget about flying anywhere after that!

Since the total cost for Ye Ling’s table, including the wine, had already exceeded 50,000 yuan, their order was naturally prioritized. Soon, the table was laden with exquisite dishes.

So...

’Does this mean that for once, Brother Ling didn’t have to rely on his good looks to get special treatment?’

"Silly, why did you order so much?"

Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but furrow her brows, her expression pained.

Although she hadn’t seen the specific prices of the dishes Ye Ling had ordered, she wasn’t an idiot.

This feast had to cost at least five figures!

"Don’t worry about it. It’s not often we get to come out like this, so we should enjoy ourselves."

Ye Ling chuckled softly.

The wine had already been opened by a staff member when it arrived, saving Ye Ling the trouble. He went ahead and poured a glass for himself and for Ning Ruoxi.

"To the future Mr. Ye, I propose a toast!"

Ning Ruoxi raised her glass, her gaze soft as she looked at Ye Ling. "May we have a long and happy life together, and always be as blissful as we are right now."

"Mrs. Ye, I’ll be in your care from now on."

Ye Ling chuckled as well. He raised his glass, gently clinked it against Ning Ruoxi’s, and then downed it in one go.

Since they had a driver to take them home later, Ye Ling wasn’t worried about drinking and driving.

Ning Ruoxi also drained her glass in one go, a rosy flush immediately blooming on her cheeks.

The girl wasn’t much of a drinker, and that one glass was already enough to make her feel a little tipsy.

"Come on, let’s eat!"

Ye Ling said with a soft laugh.

"Okay!"

Ning Ruoxi set down her glass. Her eyes lit up as she gazed at the table laden with food.
