I Woke My Vegetative Husband up After Booktransmigrating

179 My Wife, Ming Liuyi

The Dreamsource Hotel had a members-only entry restriction, and did not entertain regular guests. Its business was entirely sustained by all these wealthy and powerful magnates.

The dishes here were impeccable and cooked to Yao Zizhou’s tastes. Furthermore, it was located very near Yao Cooperation, and Yao Zizhou would normally entertain guests here whenever the company held minor business dinners.

Even when work piled up, he would instruct Secretary He to order a meal from here. One could say that Yao Zizhou’s food expenditure was enough to cover the cost of the whole restaurant. And so, Yao Zizhou was considered the ultimate VIP out of all the hotel owner’s guests.

From when Yao Zizhou had woken up until now, he had only placed an order here once, and had not made any further dinner reservations ever since. Now, he was finally here again.

The owner saw the beautiful Ming Liuyi who stood by Yao Zizhou’s side, and could not help glancing at her. In all his years of patronage, never once did Yao Zizhou bring a companion before. From the interaction between Yao Zizhou and Ming Liuyi, this was clearly not a business meeting.

Being able to open such a high-class hotel, the owner was of course a clever person. He said, “President Yao, I was wondering why you have not visited our premises for such a long time. Today, I finally understand. The lady is indeed very beautiful.”

Yao Zizhou immediately introduced her, “My wife, Ming Liuyi.”

Ming Liuyi smiled and nodded in response.

While the owner’s expression betrayed none of his emotions, inwardly he was extremely surprised. The term “wife” carried a lot of weight. Again, the owner could not help observing her once more.

Dreamsource Hotel was indeed pleasant, and there were a lot of decorative green plants around too. The boss personally led the way and escorted Yao Zizhou and the rest into a private room.

The boss immediately asked, “Should I prepare according to your preferred tastes, or would you like us to recommend a course for you?”

Yao Zizhou said, “Pass me the menu. I am not the main star of today.”

Ming Liuyi immediately accepted the menu and gestured for He Yanfeng to scoot over so that they could place the order together. He Yanfeng had never come to a place like this before and was immensely nervous. It was a good thing that Ming Liuyi addressed him, and he could feel a little more relaxed.

Ming Liuyi thought about it for a while before addressing Yao Zizhou’s secretary, “Mr. He, it is an important courtesy to order the right dishes when treating someone to a meal. Can you leave this task to me?”

There was no command in the madam’s words, as she was negotiating instead. Mr. He was immensely pleased and wanted to immediately nod in approval. However, for a matter like this, he still had to confirm the boss’ intentions.

At seeing Yao Zizhou nod, Mr. He walked over to him. Ming Liuyi listened for a bit as the two talked, thought it was boring, and went to sit next to Yao Zizhou before fiddling with his hand.

Yao Zizhou’s hand was smooth and pale, and his fingers were long and elegant. Ming Liuyi lifted her own hand and compared them to Yao Zizhou’s. Hers were tiny! Ming Liuyi could not help feeling that there was a vast gap between herself and the man, be it in terms of physique or strength.

She continued playing with Yao Zizhou’s hand for a while before flipping it over to take a look at his palm print.

Yao Zizhou’s palm print was just like his person—neat and with a clear direction. There were no messy crisscrossing patterns. Ming Liuyi ran her fingers along the lines of the prints, and that tickled Yao Zizhou so much that he grabbed her hand.

He leaned close to her ears and whispered, “My dear benefactress, you shouldn’t be taking advantage of others while pretending to read their palm.”

Yao Zizhou’s voice was soft, and his breath tickled Ming Liuyi’s ears, causing them to turn red. Ming Liuyi immediately tried to squirm away, but Yao Zizhou was too strong, and she could not break free from his hold. Luckily, the dishes were soon served, and Yao Zizhou reluctantly let go of his wife’s hands.

The first dish was steamed Black Tiger Prawns. The Black Tiger Prawns were immensely fresh. Yao Zizhou spun the Lazy Susan so that the Black Tiger Prawns dish was now before him.

Ming Liuyi’s eyes were fixed immediately on the Black Tiger Prawns, staring intently. She was just about to use her chopsticks to pick up one when Yao Zizhou hurriedly stopped her and told her to wait.

By this time, Mr. He was just done with the rest of the orders, and after letting his employer take a look at them, Yao Zizhou asked him to bring He Yanfeng out to take a look at the fish and seafood. After a nod, Mr. He led He Yanfeng out, leaving only Yao Zizhou and Ming Liuyi in the private room.

Yao Zizhou had already washed his hands before, so he began peeling the prawns straightaway. Holding the rather hot large prawns with his pale hands, Yao Zizhou’s fingertips became slightly reddened. The way he peeled the prawn was elegant, as if he were working on art instead. At seeing this scene, Ming Liuyi quietly took out her phone and began recording Yao Zizhou’s hands as he peeled.

The prawn was soon de-shelled, revealing the tender flesh beneath. Yao Zizhou then held the prawn by the tail, dipped it in some seasoning, and fed it to Ming Liuyi. Ming Liuyi opened her mouth wide and ate it all in one go.

It was indeed scrumptious. Such tender, fresh meat! Just by eating it, she could taste the fragrance and the slight crunchy texture of fresh seafood.

Ming Liuyi beamed, “It’s delicious!”

Yao Zizhou’s hand remained in that same position, and he showed no signs of withdrawing it.
