A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

She felt much more relaxed and comfortable, both physically and mentally.

Shen Lianchu is like a heartache; now that the pathology has been found, all that's needed is time to eradicate it completely.

“She went to the Shen residence to think about the gate as soon as she woke up last night, and returned to the Cheng family at midnight. Now she’s in a hurry to change her name. It seems she’s eager to announce that she, Shen Lianchu, has returned, which also symbolizes issuing a challenge to you,” Zhan Jinglin said.

Shi Yanxia's smile deepened.

"We'll wait for her," Shi Yanxia said.

Thinking of Shen Lianchu's figure, she tapped her fingers lightly, feeling quite pleased.

"What do you want to eat?" Zhan Jinglin asked.

Shi Yanxia rested her chin on her hand, looked at him with a smile, winked mischievously, and said, "Guess."

"Hehe." Zhan Jinglin couldn't help but chuckle softly at her playful expression.

The man gripped the steering wheel and drove away from the villa area, heading towards the city.

It was almost noon, and there weren't many cars on the road. They arrived in the city and parked their luxury car in front of a retro-style building, which stood there like an ancient palace.

"This is... a place to eat?" Shi Yanxia gasped.

She rolled down the car window and saw the words "Palace" written on it.

“Hmm,” Zhan Jinglin responded.

She opened the car door and got out, and saw that the vehicles parked outside were all limited edition cars, including high-end business cars and sports cars, each priced at no less than 300 million.

It's easy to imagine that those who come here to eat and spend money are not ordinary people.

However, when ordinary people see such a store, they would probably just take a picture as they pass by, and wouldn't dare to go inside. The overwhelming sense of luxury is so oppressive that it's hard to breathe.

With only a few people on me, who would dare to come in here?

"What kind of meal did you have?" Shi Yanxia asked.

Zhan Jinglin parked the car and walked towards her. The man affectionately patted her head and said, "These dishes were passed down from the imperial kitchen in ancient times. The chef in charge was also a former master chef in the palace. Try them later and see if they suit your taste."

Shi Yanxia fell silent.

In this day and age, can we still preserve the flavors of the past?

“Okay,” Shi Yanxia said generously.

The two walked into the "palace". There were few people outside, but the people standing at the entrance were all men and women dressed in ancient costumes. When they saw the two, their expressions changed drastically.

"Mr. Zhan, Ms. Shi, you've arrived? Please come in." They immediately stepped forward respectfully.

Yan Xia was at the height of her fame, so everyone was naturally familiar with her. However, Zhan Jinglin rarely showed up, yet they recognized him at a glance. It was conceivable that he was probably a regular here, or...

"Do you come here often?" Shi Yanxia asked in a low, gossipy voice.

Zhan Jinglin looked at her with curiosity and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "It's from my own family."

"Huh? The Zhan family's business?" Shi Yanxia had a million questions on her mind.

Zhan Jinglin nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I rarely come to the Zhan family's businesses. Gu Qing usually manages them. There's a VIP room reserved there, and Grandpa will come over to eat occasionally."

"..." Shi Yanxia fell silent.

Because when she looked up, she glanced at the menu on one side.

The dish above was priced at 8000, and that was the cheapest one. She even saw some dishes that cost tens or hundreds of thousands, which made her want to run away as fast as she could.

"Mr. Zhan, Ms. Shi, please come in." A beautiful woman quickly stepped forward to greet them.

They walked with graceful, lotus-like steps, yet quickly, accurately guiding them upstairs. They pushed open the door to the top-tier VIP ward, saying, "Snacks and fruit have been prepared inside."

Looking inside, Shi Yanxia saw beautiful women already setting out tea and snacks.

As you can imagine, the service here is one-on-one. As soon as you enter the door, everything is prepared, and you don't need to call the waiter to take your order.

"Miss Shi, do you like the snacks and dishes here? If not, we can order something else." They asked politely and respectfully as they stepped forward.

Shi Yanxia felt a little uncomfortable.

"I really like it, thank you," Shi Yanxia said.

Seeing this, they didn't dare say anything more and retreated.

Two minutes later, a group of beautiful women dressed in flowing ancient costumes poured in, each carrying an exquisite dish. They served the dishes discreetly, without daring to utter a word throughout.

The private room was quiet, and the table was instantly filled with food.

After they finished serving the dishes, they all left. These dishes were not pre-made; they looked very fresh and were obviously made to order, well in advance.

"You've already spoken to them beforehand?" Shi Yanxia asked.

The man took chopsticks, picked up some food for her, and ladled out half a bowl of soup, handing it to her.

"Well, when you went to see that producer's wife this morning, I told you before I went over, thinking you shouldn't have anything to do today and should be free to come over for a meal," Zhan Jinglin said.

Shi Yanxia smiled but remained silent.

After tasting the soup, her eyes almost lit up, and she couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks and start tasting every dish.

"The taste is really quite fresh. It doesn't have too many seasonings, which preserves the original flavor of the dishes while enhancing their natural freshness," Shi Yanxia commented softly.

Although she rarely eats these elaborate dishes, she felt that the taste was really addictive.

"If you like it, that's good." Zhan Jinglin said.

Shi Yanxia ate very quickly, while Zhan Jinglin mostly served her food.

Half an hour later, after the two finished their meal, the beautiful women dressed in ancient costumes rushed in again, taking away all the dishes and even thoughtfully serving fresh fruit and other snacks.

"Sister-in-law." At this moment, Leng Ziming practically crawled in.

He pushed open the door, pulled up a chair, sat down, picked up a yellow watermelon from the side, took a bite, and said, "I've been looking for you for so long. If I hadn't seen Zhan Jinglin's car outside, I wouldn't have guessed you were here for dinner."

"You contacted me?" Shi Yanxia asked.

She picked up her phone and saw that Leng Ziming had made ten missed calls to her.

"Yeah, I called you and you didn't answer. I thought something had happened, and I almost told my dad I was going to find explosives to rescue you," Leng Ziming said jokingly.

A moment later, the beautiful woman walked in carrying a bowl of noodles.

"Thank you," Leng Ziming said, and without any hesitation, he picked up the bowl and started eating.

Clearly, before he came in, he had instructed the people outside to make him a bowl of noodles.

"Have you found the medicine?" Shi Yanxia asked.

The photos that Li Qinghong brought had been erased, so Leng Zhiming was looking for medicine for her. Once she found the medicine, she would be able to develop a potion to restore the erased photos to their original state.

“Found it, I brought it to you,” Leng Zhimo said.

He handed over a bag while eating noodles, saying, "Take a look and see if this is what you want."
