"Don't worry, everything will be okay..."
Gazing at Qin Fang's face, Tang Feifei spoke gently, reassuring him, "The security in Hong Kong Island is very good, and you've arranged for protection too, so there shouldn't be any problems concerning your aunt! Besides, the Qu Family wouldn't do anything to her, right?"
She could understand Qin Fang's feelings at the moment. After all, he and his mother had been dependent on each other for so long without any other relatives. Suddenly having the Qu Family as relatives—and not the harmonious kind—made it impossible for Qin Fang not to have some worries.
"That's true..."
Qin Fang nodded. He himself was well aware of this, but there were still some knots in his heart that he couldn't untangle. After hearing Tang Feifei's words, he also felt much more relaxed.
"Come on, let's go for a walk..."
Since his mother, Qin Qing, had arranged for someone to watch over things, Qin Fang didn't need to worry too much. After all, in terms of public security, Hong Kong Island was much better than the inland areas.
Although there were gangs in Hong Kong Island, the general ones were quite decent. Unless one went looking for trouble, they seldom interfered with the lives of ordinary people.
In this aspect, some of the underworld forces in the inland areas appeared quite unreliable.
Qin Qing had already gone to Saint Mary's Hospital to visit Old Madam Qu, who was critically ill. Qin Fang didn't have any particular thoughts about this grandmother he knew nothing about. And since his mother Qin Qing had no immediate plans for him to meet the Qu Family People, he couldn't be bothered and decided to take Tang Feifei out for a stroll instead.
There are plenty of fun places on Hong Kong Island, with Ocean Park and Disney being the most common destinations for tourists from the inland. Tang Feifei was no exception, and Qin Fang happily accompanied her to have fun.
At this season, the northern inland has already entered the cold winter, but the temperature in Hong Kong Island is still quite high, and Ocean Park is also quite lively.
Qin Fang accompanied Tang Feifei to see the strange and varied fish in the aquarium, enjoyed the dolphin performance, and they played on the Ferris wheel and roller coaster together...
In short, the two had a great time until Tang Feifei said she could no longer keep up and, coinciding with mealtime, they left Ocean Park to dine at a nearby hotel.
As a tourist hotspot like Ocean Park, the surrounding area naturally has no shortage of upscale hotels and restaurants. The one Qin Fang and his companion entered was quite high-end, and it was even a French restaurant.
French restaurants in Hong Kong Island differ from those in the inland; they are more authentic here. Most of the chefs are truly French, the flavors tend to be closer to the original French palate, and they are very different from the more localized version you find in the inland.
Some high-class French restaurants even use custom-made French utensils, the menu is written in French, and even the waiters are French... Of course, the accompanying red wine is an authentic French product as well.
Well-performing French restaurants generally require reservations, otherwise, you might not get a seat even after arriving. This was where Shen Liang, the assistant, turned useful. By the time Qin Fang and company decided to dine out, he had already taken care of everything in advance.
With just a bit of influence and the use of some gold yuan, Qin Fang and Tang Feifei successfully got a table and sat down.
"Order whatever you want, don't hold back..."
After sitting down, Qin Fang handed the menu to Tang Feifei and said.
"Ah, this seems to be... in French, I can't understand it... Why don't you order for us?"
Tang Feifei gently took the menu, but upon opening it, she was stumped. Her English was decent enough for normal conversation, but the menu was in French, and she was immediately lost... so she handed the decision-making power over to Qin Fang.
A boyfriend comes in handy in these situations. Even if there's embarrassment to be dealt with, he should be the one to take it on. Tang Feifei was very thin-skinned, after all.
"Waiter, two French couple sets, please..."
Qin Fang smiled and, unfazed by Tang Feifei's teasing expression, quickly browsed the menu and called the waiter over, speaking in a language that Tang Feifei couldn't understand at all.
As Tang Feifei wondered what language Qin Fang was speaking, she realized he wasn't just babbling nonsense; the French waiter actually nodded, took the menu, and left.
"Qin Fang, were you speaking... French?"
Tang Feifei was astoundingly surprised. She considered herself the person closest to Qin Fang, yet she had no idea he could speak French. She remembered that Qin Fang's English wasn't even that good.
"Of course... In fact, I know not just French, but English, German, Spanish, Italian as well. It's just that there's usually no opportunity to use them!"
Qin Fang's skin had thickened, and he declared immodestly, prompting a roll of the eyes from Tang Feifei, who evidently didn't quite believe him.
But overall, Qin Fang still gave her a very good impression, and she was quite happy about it, especially since language wouldn't be a worry anymore if they went abroad for fun in the future.
Only, Qin Fang couldn't tell Tang Feifei that this was due to an underutilized passive skill of his—Language Proficiency.
Although Qin Fang never put much emphasis on the Language Proficiency skill, he never underestimated its usefulness; he would often skim through language books when he was bored. He had some knowledge of various languages, even though this was his first time speaking French...
The restaurant served dishes quickly, and it didn't take long for the food to arrive. The plates they used were quite large, but the portions of food on them were indeed rather small.
Luckily, Qin Fang and Tang Feifei had anticipated this, so they didn't find it strange and immediately started eating.
It's no wonder this restaurant is so popular; aside from its status, the chef's skills are quite impressive. Qin Fang figured they were comparable to those of his apprentice Wen Yi.
Of course, compared to his soon-to-be Master-Level Cooking expertise, they were still a bit lacking...
Qin Fang rarely cooked these days, mainly because he was too busy to cover everything, only cooking a delicious feast for close women like Tang Feifei when he had spare time.
The food tasted great, and after playing around for so long and burning a lot of energy, their appetites were wide open, leading them to eat a bit more than usual. For Tang Feifei, who was always keen on maintaining her figure, this was quite a rare occasion.
"I'm going to the restroom..."
Having eaten and drunk a lot of soup to hydrate, she now felt the need and excused herself to Qin Fang before getting up to leave for the restroom.
"Wait a sec..."
As Tang Feifei was about to get up, Qin Fang suddenly called out, noticing a waiter with a tray walking behind her.
But he was a bit late to call out, and Tang Feifei didn't react in time as she had already stepped out...
Just then, the waiter passing by was tripped by Tang Feifei's step, losing balance and tilting forward. He couldn't hold onto the tray, which went flying out of his hands.
And then—
Pff~~
The dish contained a bowl of soup, which, upon flying out, drenched a group of people sitting at the table in front...
Ahh!!!
Qin Fang and Tang Feifei clearly heard a woman's shrill scream.
"Who? Who did this?"
The woman, having been treated this way, became extremely agitated and started causing a commotion, making Tang Feifei even more embarrassed.
The waiter "taken down" by Tang Feifei had managed to straighten up, but looking at the roaring woman, the burly man was as frightened as a quail and dared not say a word.
Meanwhile, the woman doused in soup had approached from the next table, her face filled with anger. She was quite beautiful, but her expertly styled hair and her expensive fur coat were both splattered with soup.
"I'm so sorry, so sorry..."
Tang Feifei, greatly startled, immediately apologized proactively to the woman, not wanting the innocent waiter to suffer for something she was at fault for.
Born into an official's family, Tang Feifei was always very polite. Since she was at fault, her apology was particularly sincere. Although nobody expected such an incident, the fact remained that the woman had suffered an undeserved misfortune.
"Sorry? Is everything resolved with just an apology?"
The woman had initially intended to scold the waiter, but she hadn't expected someone else to be the culprit. She couldn't help but take a surprised look at Tang Feifei's beauty, noting she was much more beautiful and younger than herself...
Then she glanced at Qin Fang, who was sitting with Tang Feifei. He wasn't particularly handsome, and they were wearing matching couple outfits that seemed relatively cheap.
After all, Qin Fang and Tang Feifei were out for fun and dressed rather casually...
They say clothes make the man, and while many people nowadays dress down, there weren't many as understated as Qin Fang and Tang Feifei.
Seeing the ordinary attire of the couple and hearing Tang Feifei's fluent Mandarin, in stark contrast to her own Hong Kong Cantonese, the woman suddenly felt emboldened and her tone grew even less friendly...(To be continued.
