Chapter 481: Chapter 474: The New Owner
Upon seeing the chairman arrive, the executive chef immediately stood behind him, assuming that Leng Yichen would speak with their chairman. However, he never expected Leng Yichen to be so dismissive, not only not responding but not even glancing at him. Instead, he turned to ask the chef a question. For a moment, the executive chef felt immense pressure and reluctantly answered Leng Yichenâs question.
Leng Yichen carried the carefully selected food back to the dining table and, reaching out, playfully tapped Bai Yiranâs nose, "Come on, eat."
Bai Yiran felt somewhat uneasy, as eating in front of so many people really wasnât a great feeling.
The hotel chairman awkwardly stood there, unable to leave since Leng Yichen wasnât speaking, and had no choice but to stand aside like the general manager and others.
Bai Yiran was actually a bit hungry now. Despite the discomfort, she picked up the fork and started eating.
Seeing Bai Yiran finally willing to eat, Leng Yichen also began to eat.
The highest-ranking leaders of the hotel stood in a line within the restaurant; such a spectacle was truly unusual.
Leng Yichen ate leisurely, with a relaxed expression. While eating, he didnât forget to care for the pregnant Bai Yiran, ensuring she didnât have to stand up even once.
Fearing the restaurantâs staff might neglect these distinguished guests, the manager personally served them throughout their meal. Occasionally, the general manager also chipped in. The chairman attempted to step forward and speak in the middle but was intimidated by Leng Yichenâs icy glare, making him afraid to approach again and forcing him to stand quietly to the side.
Bai Yiran actually didnât really enjoy eating out with Leng Yichen, especially when it involved anything resembling Western cuisine. This manâs dining etiquette and posture were too graceful, often making Bai Yiranâs own eating style seem less ladylike.
After nearly an hour of dining, Leng Yichen took a napkin intending to wipe Bai Yiranâs mouth. If they were at home, Bai Yiran wouldnât resist, but now they were in a restaurant, being watched by so many people. Bai Yiran didnât want to give others the impression that she couldnât take care of herself. Just as she was about to grab the napkin from Leng Yichenâs hand, his hand subtly dodged away.
"Be good, donât move."
Bai Yiran, "..."
Was Leng Yichen treating her like a child?
Leng Yichenâs series of wife-pampering actions were fully observed by the hotel staff, causing the female servers to become envious one after another.
Leng Yichen was simply the 100% perfect husbandâhandsome, well-built, wealthy! These arenât even the main points! The key point is how incredibly good he is to his wife!
Seeing that Leng Yichen seemed to have finished his meal, the hotel chairman dared to approach again, "Mr. Leng, can we discuss the acquisition now?"
Acquisition?
Others in the restaurant froze, what did the chairman mean by acquisition?
Leng Yichen casually responded, "Itâs not an acquisition. This has nothing to do with Huamei International. Iâm just paying to buy this place, but the hotel will ultimately be under my wifeâs name."
Everyone was stunnedâunder his wifeâs name? They all turned to look at Bai Yiran beside Leng Yichen, who had an equally shocked expression.
Bai Yiran was completely dumbfounded at this moment, what was going on?
Leng Yichen was going to buy this hotel for her?
The restaurant manager nearly fainted upon hearing this. That young pregnant woman he had once looked down upon might very well become the new owner of this hotel!
The hotel general managerâs face also began to lose color, feeling that the looming threat of being fired wasnât far off. His eyes glared resentfully at the restaurant manager; this was all his doing!
