Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: Ning Shoukai Offered To Treat Bai Xifeng

Now, if there was one thing in this world Bai Xifeng absolutely could not stomach, it was bad food. For her, paying high prices for food was something she could easily accept, provided the taste was divine enough to match the cost. But if a meal was both ridiculously overpriced and tasted like absolute garbage, then there was zero reason for her to throw her hard-earned money down the drain! Since Xiao Li confirmed the food here was terrible, it was far better to save their coins and go buy something genuinely delicious elsewhere.

There were hundreds of fantastic restaurants scattered across the Capital City anyway. There was absolutely no reason for them to force themselves to eat subpar dishes at this overrated place!

The group of young nobles stood entirely frozen in place, watching in stunned silence as Bai Xifeng and Xiao Li casually turned on their heels and walked away from the grand entrance.

"Wait... why are they just leaving like that?" One of the young men asked, blinking in utter confusion.

"Beats me..." Another murmured, shaking his head.

The young men exchanged bewildered glances with one another.

"Well... I actually managed to read their lips just now." One of the sharp-eyed young men in the back explained, coughing lightly. "Young Lady Xiao whispered to Young Lady Bai that the food in this restaurant tastes terrible and costs way too much. Upon hearing that, Young Lady Bai said she could tolerate the expensive part, but she absolutely could not tolerate eating food that does not taste good."

Hearing that explanation, the group of young men looked at each other once more, their mouths twitching slightly. Well, it was indeed absurdly expensive here. Extremely expensive, in fact. To their rather unrefined palates, the food served inside was not unpalatable.

However, when they took a moment to reflect on the staggering, daylight-robbery prices they had to pay just to sit down, they could completely understand why someone like Bai Xifeng would rather turn around and walk away!

"Does she really care that much about the taste of her food?" One of them muttered under his breath in disbelief.

"Apparently so." The others shrugged helplessly.

After all, everyone held vastly different standards when it came to the culinary arts. And for an uncompromising person like Bai Xifeng, being forced to swallow bad food was simply something she refused to tolerate!

Bai Xifeng and Xiao Li continued walking along the vibrant street until another prominent restaurant came into view.

"How about this one?" Bai Xifeng asked, pausing in front of the entrance.

"This..." Xiao Li studied the building for a moment before nodding approvingly. "It should be just fine. I actually ate here once before. The food is pretty good, to be honest."

"Then this is the spot!" Bai Xifeng agreed enthusiastically, pulling Xiao Li toward the entrance of the establishment.

A welcoming waiter immediately stepped up to greet Bai Xifeng and Xiao Li with a bright, professional smile.

"Welcome! Welcome, young ladies! Where would you prefer to be seated today? In a private dining room upstairs, or out here in the main hall?" The waiter asked politely.

Before Bai Xifeng could give her answer, a familiar voice suddenly called out her name from across the room.

"Xifeng! Over here!"

Bai Xifeng glanced toward the sound and saw Ning Shoukai, Xie Yanlin, and Xie Jingguo sitting together around a large table.

She turned back to the waiter, pointing toward them. "We will be sitting over with that group."

The waiter followed her hand, nodding immediately. "Understood, right this way!"

Bai Xifeng and Xiao Li strolled over to their table.

Bai Xifeng took a seat first before turning to her maid.

"Xiao Li, sit right here beside me." Bai Xifeng said, tapping the empty chair next to her.

Xiao Li nodded obediently and settled into the seat beside her young miss.

"Order whatever your heart desires today! It’s all my treat!" Ning Shoukai announced generously, puffing his chest out a bit.

"Oh? Is that so? Well then!" Bai Xifeng’s face instantly split into a wide, mischievous grin the very moment those magic words left his mouth.

My treat.

Those were, without a doubt, the most music-to-her-ears words in the entire universe!

Without wasting another second, Bai Xifeng summoned the waiter over to begin ordering their meal. She immediately started listing off dish after dish. However, three full minutes passed, and she showed absolutely zero signs of stopping her order.

The waiter, alongside the three men sitting around the table, stood completely flabbergasted as they listened to her continuous stream of demands.

It seemed this young girl had made up her mind to literally order almost every single item listed on the restaurant’s extensive menu! She kept naming dish after dish without the slightest intention of pulling back or pausing.

"Mistress! Please, I beg of you, stop ordering! Are you trying to drive me into total bankruptcy?! Please, I am begging you." Ning Shoukai finally burst out, throwing his hands up in a desperate plea for mercy.

"Fine, fine... I will stop right here then." Bai Xifeng conceded with a light chuckle. She turned back to the shell-shocked waiter. "That will be all for now."

The waiter nodded frantically, his hand moving like a blur as he jotted down the massive order before hastily retreating toward the kitchen.

Ning Shoukai let out a long, dramatic sigh of relief, clutching his heart. For a terrifying moment there, he had genuinely believed Bai Xifeng was planning to purchase the kitchen’s entire food inventory in one go.

"So, where were you three off to before stopping here for lunch?" Bai Xifeng asked, shifting her gaze across the three men.
