"This is my husband," the proprietress explained with a smile as she noticed Shen Mingzhu's gaze falling on her man.
The man seemed not very sociable, merely glancing over at Shen Mingzhu in a hurry before turning his face away.
Shen Mingzhu returned a smile to the proprietress, offering polite praise for the good cooking, and when her daughter came out of the restroom, she turned and went back to the restaurant outside.
After the proprietress had delivered the dishes and gone off to the kitchen to get busy, Shen Mingzhu told the others to start eating without her, saying she would make a quick phone call outside.
Pei Ziheng offered to accompany her, and Shen Mingzhu didn't refuse.
"Hello, who's this?"
"It's me."
Upon hearing Shen Mingzhu's voice, Pei Yang on the other end of the phone immediately brightened up, "Wife, why are you calling at this time? Miss me?"
"Cut the crap, I've got something serious to talk to you about."
