The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Immediately afterward, Cheng Rong quickly composed herself and enthusiastically introduced the restaurant's dishes to everyone: "I'm sure you all already know about the various dishes in our restaurant. However, it's past lunchtime, and many of our signature dishes are no longer available. How about this, you take a look at the menu first and think about what you'd like to eat?" With that, she picked up a menu from the table and handed it over.

At this moment, Lin Chong behaved very politely. He first smiled slightly at Cheng Rong, then turned to Xin Yi beside him and asked humbly, "Lei... what would you like to eat?"

"So your surname is Lei! This is the first time I've heard of someone with the surname Lei, besides Lei Feng! Lei-meimei, what would you like to eat?" Cheng Rong said with a smile.

How could her surname have been changed so inexplicably?! Xin Yi glared at Lin Chong, who was full of apologies, her eyes seeming to shoot knives, and then rolled her eyes at him.

Immediately afterwards, Xin Yi turned to Cheng Rong and asked in a light tone, "Sister Cheng Rong, do you still have braised pork here?"

Cheng Rong shook her head and answered decisively, "That's all!"

Xin Yi was slightly disappointed, but she quickly composed herself and continued to ask, "What about the braised beef?"

Hearing this question, Cheng Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, beef is a rare treat! You might not even come across it once a year. You were really lucky to get to eat it last time! Why don't you think about something else? Is there anything you particularly want to eat?" After saying that, Cheng Rong looked at Xin Yi with expectant eyes.

Xin Yi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Then let's have Mapo Tofu! Hmm... Sister Xin, what would you like to eat?"

Xiong Xin, who had been sitting silently to the side, looked up and replied indifferently, "Me? I don't care, it's fine with me. Oh well, maybe we should just forget it and let Lin Chong decide. He comes over often, so let him go to the kitchen and see what dishes are available, and we'll just eat whatever he has!" As he spoke, Xiong Xin glanced at Lin Chong, a hint of barely concealed dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Lin Chong knew perfectly well that Xiong Xin was unhappy with Cheng Rong's attitude towards him. However, now was clearly not the time to explain, so he wisely stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen.

Before leaving, he turned back and asked worriedly, "Lei, you don't have any dietary restrictions, do you?"

Xin Yi casually replied, "No, I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything!"

"Alright, I'll go to the kitchen now and ask the chef to make us some of his signature dishes. You guys chat for a bit!"

After Lin Chong finished speaking, he left the private room, and Cheng Rong followed him out. "Pah, vixen!" Xiong Xin's eyes widened in anger, and he spat fiercely, his expression as if he wanted to vent all the resentment in his heart.

"A vixen?" Xin Yi looked at Xiong Xin with a suspicious expression, blinking her big eyes and asking in confusion, "Sister Xin, who are you saying is a vixen?"

Xiong Xin pointed angrily at a figure not far away and said through gritted teeth, "That's the woman! Didn't you see how enthusiastic she was towards Lin Chong just now? She was throwing him all those flirtatious glances. If she hadn't seen me here, she probably would have pounced on Lin Chong and hugged him!" After saying that, Xiong Xin put his hands on his hips and his chest heaved up and down, clearly very angry.

Xin Yi thought about it carefully for a moment, then turned to Xiong Xin and said, "Sister Xin, you may have really misunderstood. Sister Cheng Rong has always been very warm to everyone. She was the same way to me when I came here to eat before. Besides, Sister Xin, you are naturally beautiful, so why would you be afraid of being outshone by others?" As she spoke, Xin Yi winked playfully at Xiong Xin.

Hearing Xin Yi's words, Xiong Xin felt slightly better, but a trace of resentment and helplessness still lingered on her face. She sighed softly and said wistfully, "Men are all fickle. They always prefer younger and prettier girls. Even if someone like me, who is getting older, still has some looks, I can't compare to those young girls in their prime!" As she finished speaking, Xiong Xin couldn't help but feel saddened.

Xin Yi gently took Xiong Xin's hand and said tenderly, "Sister Xin, to be honest, I really think you don't look old at all; on the contrary, you're becoming more and more charming! And in my opinion, Brother Lin is definitely not the kind of person who would be blinded by lust. So, you must have confidence in your relationship. Let's try not to think about those baseless and unnecessary suspicions, otherwise, even if nothing is wrong, you'll end up imagining all sorts of nonsense!"

Xiong Xin held Xin Yi's hand tightly, a wry smile on his face, and replied softly, "Actually, deep down, I still trust Lin Chong quite a bit. It's just...sigh, I'm worried that someone might secretly plot against us. Sometimes I think, how wonderful it would be if I had abilities like yours!"

Hearing Xiong Xin say that, Xin Yi smiled and patted the back of her hand, comforting her, "Oh, you mustn't think like that! Everyone has their own unique characteristics and strengths, there's no need to envy others. The most important thing is to just be yourself!"

After hearing Xin Yi's words, Xiong Xin was slightly taken aback, as if some thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. However, these thoughts came and went quickly, making it difficult for her to grasp them completely for the time being.

In the end, Xiong Xin could only nod slightly, indicating that he completely agreed with what Xin Yi said.

Not long after, Lin Chong returned to the private room and saw Xiong Xin and the other man chatting animatedly. He casually asked, "What are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time!"

“We’re discussing how men are boys until they die. They like 18-year-old women when they’re 18, and they still like 18-year-old women when they’re 80. Don’t you think so?” Xiong Xin said deliberately.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong immediately knew that this was a sign that trouble was brewing in the backyard. He immediately declared his determination: "I am not a young man, and I only love you, Xin Xin. Whether you are eighteen or eighty years old, I will love you!"

In his excitement, he reached out and hugged Xiong Xin.

This sudden confession made Xiong Xin's heart flutter. She instinctively pushed Lin Chong away and said coquettishly, "Yiyi is still here, be serious!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Chong did not stop there. He leaned in again and whispered in Xiong Xin's ear, "Then we'll be indecent when we get home!"

"Go sit down and stop messing around here!" Xiong Xin urged.

"Hehe, okay!" Lin Chong happily agreed and returned to his seat.
