Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

The three were enjoying their meal quietly when suddenly, there was a light knock on the door of the private room.

This sudden sound broke the original silence. The three of them looked puzzled and looked at each other.

Ruan Yaoyao, who was closest to the door, was slightly startled. She stopped chewing, and before she could completely swallow the food in her mouth, she paused for a moment with her cheeks puffed out.

She swallowed hard, her throat moved slightly, and the food slowly went down her stomach.

Then, she gently put down the chopsticks in her hand, took out a tissue, first gently wiped the soup from the corners of her mouth, and then carefully wiped the oil back and forth on her pink lips to ensure that her lips were clean and refreshed.

Ruan Yaoyao stood up slowly. She lowered her eyes first, then gently adjusted the corner of her clothes, as if she was performing a small ceremony.

Then she raised her head slightly, and walked towards the door with light steps like an elegant swan.

Every step seemed to carry a lively rhythm, and the hem of her skirt swayed slightly with her movements, like a blooming flower swaying in the breeze.

Ruan Yaoyao's hand gently grasped the door handle. She turned it with a little force, and the door slowly opened with a slight sound.

"Click——"

As the door opened, the restaurant owner and manager came into view.

They stood side by side, looking slightly excited; however, they tried their best to control their emotions and remain polite and decent.

They stood upright, with a hint of awe and expectation in their eyes, which made people curious about why they came.

"Is there a problem?"

Ruan Yaoyao raised her chin slightly, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

"Is such that."

The restaurant owner bowed slightly with a flattering smile on his face.

The manager at the side lowered his head and looked at Ruan Tianli who was sitting in the inner room. Then he said in a very gentle and respectful tone:

"Dear King Ruan, I'm so sorry. We were not able to entertain you properly due to our negligence in work before. We feel deeply guilty about this! So, this time, just consider it as our apology to you. All the fees for this order will be waived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the restaurant owner quickly glanced at the manager.

After receiving the hint, the manager understood and took a step forward.

At this moment, he carefully stretched out his hands and steadily held up an exquisite tray, on which three cards were quietly placed.

All three cards are printed with the restaurant's unique logo, and the overall tone is a restrained and deep black, with dazzling golden patterns carefully decorated in between.

Under the illumination of bright lights, the golden lines sparkled brightly as if they were cast by magic, as if they were really made of pure gold, exuding an air of nobility and luxurious texture that could not be ignored.

Then the manager continued:

"Not only that, we have specially prepared three VIP cards for you. As long as you hold this card, you can enjoy lifetime free top-level treatment no matter when and where you come to our store to shop!"

Hearing this, Ruan Yaoyao, who was originally a little careless, couldn't help but brighten up, but soon fell into a brief contemplation.

Her eyes fell on the three beautifully crafted cards, and a sense of conflict arose in her heart.

Faced with such a sudden and generous gift, she was a little hesitant for a moment.

So, she subconsciously turned her head and looked at Lin Yi beside her and Ruan Tianli behind her, as if she wanted to get some advice or opinions from them.

Lin Yi shrugged slightly, and an indifferent expression appeared naturally on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

His reaction clearly showed that he really didn't care about the matter.

Ruan Tianli silently put down the chopsticks in his hand. His eyes were as deep as the endless night sky and calm without a trace of ripples.

"I can waive the bill, but forget about the card."

Of course Ruan Tianli knew what the other party was trying to do. Although his brain was sometimes slow to react, he was definitely not stupid.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

The other party simply wants to take this opportunity to get in touch with him as one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Often free things are the most expensive.

He didn't want to get into this unnecessary trouble.

"This……"

"The restaurant owner and manager were slightly stunned. They obviously did not expect Ruan Tianli to reject the VIP card so decisively.

However, they did not dare to say anything more and just nodded obediently.

After all, they didn't dare to refute or argue with this famous big shot.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Ruan Yaoyao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly broke the silence. Her clear and loud voice was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

In an instant, several pairs of eyes focused on Ruan Yaoyao's pretty and charming figure.

Ruan Yaoyao obviously did not expect such a strong reaction and was at a loss for a moment.

She subconsciously reached out and scratched her pink cheeks, a shy blush appeared on her face, and then she smiled apologetically but cutely and said softly:

"Well... Actually, I want to say that the dishes in your restaurant are so delicious! It makes people want to eat more~ So I want to ask... Is it possible..."

Having said that, Ruan Yaoyao paused for a moment, her eyes involuntarily drifting towards Lin Yi beside her. Her originally bright eyes were now flashing with a hint of anticipation and excitement.

"Can you teach Lin Yi how to cook?"

Lin Yi: "???"

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Yi at the side couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression, muttering in his heart:

"What's going on? Why are you suddenly involving me?"

However, before he had time to think about it, Ruan Yaoyao couldn't wait to continue explaining.

It turned out that in Ruan Yaoyao's eyes, although the food in this restaurant was tempting, the prices were really high. In addition, the restaurant was packed with customers and every seat was occupied. If one wanted to taste the food, one had to make a reservation several days in advance, which was quite troublesome.

Even though the boss had just enthusiastically expressed his willingness to give out three VIP cards, since her father had already politely declined, Ruan Yaoyao couldn't say anything more.

After all, she has always been a well-behaved and sensible girl.

As for Lin Yi, he is her close lover.

On weekdays, Lin Yi always cooks by himself, preparing delicious dishes with good looks, aroma and flavor. His cooking skills are in no way inferior to those of the chefs in this restaurant.

However, the only drawback is that Lin Yi doesn't seem to be very good at making foods such as desserts and snacks.

If Lin Yi could master the restaurant's unique pastry and dessert-making techniques, wouldn't he be able to enjoy sweet and delicious feasts every day in the future?

Thinking of this, Ruan Yaoyao became more and more excited, and her eyes became brighter, as if she had discovered a new world.

At this moment, she even felt that she was an unparalleled genius!
