"Mr. Lin, your wine."
Manager Luo smiled obsequiously, holding a bottle of Romanee-Conti. On the side, a decanter on a cart had already finished aerating it.
"Mmm."
Lin Xiao nodded, letting him in. He then turned to his parents-in-law and said, "Mom and Dad, this red wine is good for beauty and complexion. A small amount can be good for health. Dad isn't suited for baijiu right now, so let's try this foreign stuff first..."
"Good, good, good, you're so thoughtful."
Li Xin beamed, even more satisfied with Lin Xiao.
Behind Manager Luo, a waiter pushed a small cart into the private room and began serving the dishes.
"This is Mao's Braised Pork, this is Steamed Turbot, and this is Stewed Abalone with Fish Maw..."
As he served the dishes, Manager Luo, like a junior waiter, introduced each item. His service was so meticulous that the passing waiters were stunned.
Was this really the Manager Luo they knew?
"Oh my, this table full of dishes... it's too much, we can't finish it!" Li Xin looked at the thirteen dishes filling the table and said with a worried expression, "It would be such a waste if we can't finish it!"
"It's okay, Mom. If we can't finish it, we can pack it," Lin Xiao said at this moment.
"Oh my..." Li Xin had endured many slights at the Luo family's place in recent years, following Luo Buyu. She had never experienced such a good life, let alone being treated as a distinguished guest!
While she claimed it was too wasteful, her smile was undeniable, her crow's feet noticeably deep. kuAiδugg
Once all the dishes were served, Manager Luo quickly dismissed the waiter and then meticulously poured wine for everyone.
"Dad's legs just recovered, so not too much," Lin Xiao reminded him.
"Understood, Uncle. Here you go," Manager Luo nodded quickly.
Xun'er's gaze had been fixed on the delicious food since the first dish was served. Her mouth was slightly open, and saliva was already dripping. Luo Qinghan quickly picked up a tissue and wiped it for her. When Xun'er saw the deep red, transparent glass bottle filled with wine pass before her without her getting any, she immediately cried out, "Mine! I want some too!"
"Be a good girl, Xun'er. Children can't drink alcohol," Luo Qinghan said softly as she held her.
"Why!"
Xun'er pouted. It looked so delicious to her. Why couldn't she have some?
"Because, Xun'er, if you drink alcohol, you won't grow tall, and you'll always want to sleep. Look how tall your mom and dad are. If you drink, you'll stay this height forever. Xun'er, imagine when you grow up and see your friends, all tall and strong, walking past you without even noticing you..." Luo Qinghan had a prepared explanation, her expression extremely serious. Xun'er was mesmerized.
Xun'er quickly shrank her head and immediately shook it rapidly, "No drinking! No drinking! Xun'er doesn't want to be short!"
"That's right, my good girl."
Afterward, Luo Qinghan gave Lin Xiao a smug look.
"Come, come, come. Xun'er won't drink alcohol, but she can eat all these things. Are you hungry, Xun'er? Here, Daddy will feed you some fish." Lin Xiao picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish from the turbot, and brought it to Xun'er's mouth.
