Huo Man ordered a few of her favorite dishes – Stir-fried Crayfish, Spicy Flower Shells, Drunkard’s Peanuts… and a few bottles of beer.

Shen Bei had never eaten these before.

He would always go to high-end restaurants to eat deep-sea lobsters, drink high-quality red wine and eat the most expensive seafood.

As for things like Drunkard’s Peanuts, Shen Bei could not even be bothered to order them at the bar.

“What do you want to eat?” Huo Man passed the menu to Shen Bei and asked.

Shen Bei hesitated for a moment, but he still took the menu and ordered a few home-cooked dishes.

At the very least, home-cooked dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes would not have many problems.

After ordering, Shen Bei and Huo Man sat opposite each other, barely speaking.

The air was filled with the smell of oil and smoke. Shen Bei felt that if he continued to sit there, his body would be contaminated.

The thought of him being immersed in the smell of oil and smoke for the rest of his life made Shen Bei a little concerned.

“How’s your discussion going with B.U.?” Shen Bei quickly found an excuse and broke the awkward silence.

Huo Man did not expect Shen bei to be in such a hurry. Although she was in charge of the entire B.U., she still needed to delay Shen Bei’s time.

Reducing the interest from 40% to 20% would be a huge loss for B.U. Moreover, if she really managed to do this easily, wouldn’t Shen Bei suspect her relationship with B.U.? She already felt that there was something wrong with Shen Bei’s condition, so she had to be careful.

“B.U. hasn’t given us a reply yet. Maybe they think that 20% is too little.” Huo Man said directly, testing Shen Bei’s attitude.

Shen Bei was about to say something when a plate of fragrant crayfish was served.

“Alright, I’ll wait a little longer.” Shen Bei could only answer in this way to give Huo Man more time.

As soon as Huo Man saw the crayfish that she had been thinking about, she couldn’t wait to put on her gloves. Ignoring Shen Bei, she picked up a crayfish, peeled its meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shen Bei looked at her smooth movements and then at the crayfish on the plate. He did not know what to do.

After all, when he was in a high-end restaurant, the lobster meat was peeled, and he only needed to pick up a fork and put a piece into his mouth.

Huo Man was eating her favorite crayfish with a smile on her face. After taking a sip of wine, she realized that Shen Bei was sitting still.

“You’re not eating?” Huo Man looked at Shen Bei in confusion. “You don’t like it?”

Shen Bei did not know how to answer Huo Man’s question.

He couldn’t tell Huo Man that he didn’t know how to eat it, could he?

Looking at Shen Bei’s speechless expression, Huo Man seemed to have realized something. She picked up a crayfish from the plate, broke its head off and carefully peeled the shell. Then, she put the full meat into Shen Bei’s bowl.

“You don’t know how to peel it, right?” Huo Man immediately guessed the reason why Shen Bei did not touch his food.

Shen Bei felt a little embarrassed, but he still maintained his calm expression. “Yeah, I haven’t had it before.”

“The Eldest Young Master of the Shen Family is really unique.” Huo Man chuckled. “But you must have missed a lot of good food.”

Shen Bei did not deny it. He picked up the crayfish Huo Man had peeled for him and put it in his mouth.

The lobster meat wrapped in soup was extremely delicious and firm. Shen Bei suddenly felt that it was a hundred times more delicious than the lobsters he had eaten in high-end restaurants before.

“Is it good?” Huo Man looked at Shen Bei with anticipation.

Shen Bei felt that Huo Man was like a child who wanted to be praised for doing a good deed. He nodded and said, “Yes, it’s quite delicious.”

After getting the answer she wanted, Huo Man said with some satisfaction, “Don’t wait for others. You should always try something new for yourself.”

Meeting Huo Man was enough to change Shen Bei’s life.

Shen Bei had never met a girl like Huo Man.

She was as unpredictable as the wind and extremely mysterious like the deep sea.

As he was thinking, Shen Bei picked up a pair of gloves, put them on and began to peel the prawns himself.

Huo Man felt relieved when she saw that Shen Bei was starting to adapt to the environment.
