Entertainment Food Service Ch. 183
A pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes revealed kindness at the moment, and the fine lines on her face could not cover up her beautiful face. It was conceivable how beautiful she must have been in her youth.
The other was Ling Senhao's sister-in-law, Sylvie, who looked to be in her forties. She had the face of a standard O Continent beauty. She was tall and slender. She was wearing a white lace skirt. The big golden brown waves framed the perfect face.
"You're Shaoqing," Mrs. Ling looked Mo Shaoqing up and down, nodded her head, and said with admiration, "you look so good. My dear boy, this will be your home in the future, so don't be restrained."
Although Sylvie didn't understand Chinese, she could see that her mother-in-law was very satisfied with the young man in front of her, so she smiled and stepped forward, "Hello, Shaoqing, I have heard Ans mention you for a long time."
"Hello." Mo Shaoqing also greeted her.
"Don't stand still. Are you hungry? Your sister-in-law personally cooked a big meal today, take a seat! Xuanyue, go and call down mister and the old man, oh oh oh, and the miss. Dear God, I always forget that she's back too!" Mrs. Ling explained while pulling Mo Shaoqing to the restaurant.
Ling Senhao: "Sister is back too?"
Mrs. Ling said with a smile, "Yes, that girl came back from abroad and said she wanted to take a look at you."
After Mo Shaoqing and Ling Senhao were seated, Miss Lawrence arrived slowly.
She could speak fluent Chinese, and she arrived before anyone, "It's all mother's fault, I'm late for everything I've prepared."
Miss Lawrence's face was more Westernized than Ling Senhao, and she looked like Ling Senhao's older brother.
In this way, there was a bit of truth in Mr Ling's claim that he was born by "accident".
Mr. Lawrence helped Duke Lawrence slowly down the spiral staircase. On the last step, Duke Lawrence pushed his son away, picked up a cane and walked slowly to the dining room.
"Father." Mrs. Ling took the cane and put it away, helped Duke Lawrence to the chair, and waited for him to sit down.
Duke Lawrence had a bushy white beard, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his high nose. In the center of the deeply sunken swallow's nest, there were a pair of turbid dark blue eyes.
(TN: I don't know why the author write swallow's nest, the metaphor is really...)
Mr. Lawrence was a younger version of Duke Lawrence.
It was worth mentioning that both of them were wearing a fitted dress, as if they were going to a banquet soon.
Mo Shaoqing knew that this was what the Lawrence family valued him, and quickly got up to say hello.
Duke Lawrence's eyes shot directly at Mo Shaoqing through his glasses, "Are you Ans's boyfriend?"
"Yes, Sir Duke." Mo Shaoqing met the old man's gaze directly.
"Hehe, you're fine, sit down child." The light in Duke Lawrence's eyes dimmed again.
"Alright, let's have dinner." Mr. Lawrence announced.
Except for Mo Shaoqing and Mrs. Ling, the others do some kind of prayer. When Duke Lawrence moved the chopsticks, everyone raised their chopsticks one after another.
Ling Senhao certainly had inherited the Lawrence gene. Neither Duke Lawrence nor Mr. Lawrence were talkative people, and the dining table was silent for a while.
Mo Shaoqing looked at the table full of Chinese dishes, and was very moved. He didn't expect Mrs. Ling to be so considerate and prepared all this for him, and all the previous worries were forgotten.
Mo Shaoqing took a bite of the sweet and sour fish, the thick sour soup flowed into his stomach at once, and then a fishy smell poured into his mouth, aroused Mo Shaoqing's desire to vomit.
But in front of the Lawrence family, he really couldn't make such an unreasonable move, and Mo Shaoqing swallowed it hard.
Ling Senhao was the first person who noticed that Mo Shaoqing's face was wrong. He picked up his chopsticks and tasted the fish. Even he felt a faint fishy smell, not to mention the pregnant Shaoqing.
"Come on, I'll help you to vomit."
"No, no, don't." Mo Shaoqing refused Ling Senhao's help and took a sip of boiled water, suppressed the fishy smell.
"What's wrong? Is the food unappetizing?" Mrs. Ling's most worrying thing happened. Sylvie didn't know how to deal with Chinese food, but she was very eager to learn, and Mrs. Ling couldn't bear to hurt her self-confidence. Sure enough, she lost face in front of the guests.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Mo Shaoqing waved his hand, but his pale face couldn't deceive anyone.
"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault, I will call the doctor!" Sylvie quickly stood up and prepared to make a call.
"No, don't go yet, I have something important to announce." Ling Senhao stopped Sylvie's move.
Everyone was feeling curious when they saw Ling Senhao clearing his throat, with an unprecedented joy on his face, as if there was something big to announce.
Ling Senhao: "Actually, Shaoqing, he is just pregnant and will be like this. It's not because sister-in-law's cook is not good enough."
*Thump-*
Mr. Lawrence's cutlery and china plates made a loud clang, which was enough to prove the shock in his heart at the moment.
