Fake Daughter Is Rich Again? novel Chapter 678

The whole group was silent. It was Qiao Weimin who reacted first and got Cheng Wu to enter the restaurant.

Throughout the meal, Wei Ling, Shen Qiongzhi, and Qiao Chen had a hard time eating. They put their chopsticks down every few mouthfuls and grew distracted.

Qiao Chen's face was pale throughout the whole process, and her head was lowered. From the time Qiao Nian and Nie Mi left until the end of the meal, she didn't say a word.

Nie Mi booked a spot by the window rather than a private room. He specially reserved a relatively quiet corner in the restaurant, where they could open the windows for some fresh air.

Qiao Nian sat on one side. As for Nie Mi and Principal Liang, one of them sat on her left while the other sat opposite her. Nie Mi ordered a lot of dishes, and a whole table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes.

Qiao Nian didn't eat much. She ate a bit more of the fish, but barely touched the rest of the dishes. With one arm resting on the edge of the chair, she was practically curled up in her seat. Her dark and clear eyes looked up, and she said to both of them, "I'm full, please enjoy."

"So fast?" Seeing her put down her chopsticks, Nie Mi raised his head in surprise, then wrinkled his brows. He asked worriedly, "Are the dishes I ordered not to your liking? How about you order two more."

He handed her the menu.

Qiao Nian took the menu from him but didn't look through it. She put it on the table, shook her head, and said, "No."

She spoke slowly and sounded rather casual. "1 was a bit too hungry just now, and it's past the time. I'm full after just having a little, it's nothing to do with the dishes."

Actually, there was something to do with the dishes.

Nie Mi and Principal Liang both preferred sweeter food, so the dishes ordered were suitable for that palate. The vegetable dishes they had called for usually had sugar or honey added.

Qiao Nian happened to dislike sweet food.

Same for the rest of the dishes.

She preferred something a bit more spicy, savory, and oily. These dishes were more delicate and unlike the smoky hot food she usually liked.

But she didn't want to embarrass Nie Mi nor make things difficult for him. She said politely, "Please eat. You don't have to bother about me. I'll be on my phone and listening to the both of you talk."

In other words, she wasn't in a rush to leave.
