Chapter 67 Family Dinner
On the way back.
Ah Hu couldn't help but remind her, "Miss, that man is dangerous."
Ah Hu is an AI, not a human. No matter how well he pretends, he is still a non-human.
That is why, everything that is shrouded in darkness in the eyes of ordinary people is completely exposed to Ah Hu.
Ah Hu followed Bai Li closely from beginning to end, and naturally heard every word of the conversation between Bai Li and Wu Hai.
However, Wu Hai's supposedly well-hidden emotional fluctuations and subtle changes in expression did not escape Ah Hu's notice.
Although Ah Hu didn't name the "man" he was referring to, Bai Li instantly understood.
She nodded to indicate that she understood.
Even without Ah Hu's reminder, Bai Li had a clear understanding of the dangers of Wuhai.
The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is.
Wuhai gives people the feeling of a snake, a beautiful white snake, with a stunning appearance that seems harmless, but actually hides venomous fangs and can deliver a fatal blow unexpectedly.
The homonym of Wuhai, meaning "harmless," became the most ridiculous joke in Bai Li's mind at that moment.
His connection with Wuhai once again brought him into contact with many unknown variables and potential risks to his peaceful life, especially since he was not yet fully capable of making progress.
She felt a vague unease and asked Ah Hu, "I don't think there's been any tracking device or listening device planted on me, right?"
Ah Hu had already conducted a thorough and detailed examination and replied definitively, "I've checked, there's nothing there."
Bai Li felt relieved, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.
With his [seamless identity], Wu Hai should be unable to discover or guess his true identity in a short period of time.
I might be able to feign compliance and maneuver with him for a considerable period of time, finding a way to deal with him as I go along.
Moreover, an even bolder idea gradually began to sprout in her mind.
She could even try to use Wuhai to get in touch with his circle of friends.
However, this move requires careful planning; the slightest misstep could lead to complete failure.
---------------------------------------
Ahe and his men were waiting at the entrance to the underground parking garage to welcome Bai Li.
As soon as she got out of the car, several servants surrounded her with enthusiastic smiles.
Several handsome young men said in unison, "Miss, welcome home!"
The crisp, clear sound made Bai Li feel completely refreshed, and the fatigue of the journey instantly disappeared.
Bai Li handed the small shawl she used to block the wind to A He, who respectfully accepted it with both hands and carefully folded it.
Another person carrying a silver tray stepped forward and presented it to Bai Li. Bai Li took out a preheated, damp towel from the tray, gently wiped her hands, and then casually tossed it back into the tray.
On her way home, someone sprayed her with a special disinfectant spray. The woody fragrance wafted through the air, removing the dust and further soothing her senses and mind.
This is the established routine that I arrange every time I go home.
At first, Bai Li thought it was a bit too much, but later she felt that the feeling of being welcomed was quite nice, so she let Ahe and the others do it.
Everyone in the family is waiting for Bai Li.
As soon as Bai Li stepped into the room, Shi Hua rushed over like a cheerful little bird, excitedly took Bai Li's hand, and asked curiously, "Sister, I heard you went on a business trip today."
Bai Li tapped her little nose: "Who said I went on a business trip? I didn't go on a business trip, I just went to another city."
Shi Shui was there too, she seemed to have gotten a haircut, revealing her forehead and striking features, but her clothes were still simple, a white T-shirt paired with black trousers, looking clean and neat.
At this moment, she stood to the side, nodded slightly to Bai Li, a faint smile on her lips, and softly called out, "Sister."
When Bai Li saw Shi Shui at this moment, she couldn't help but sigh that keeping Shi Shui at home was indeed the right choice.
After some time of recuperation, Shi Shui finally gained some weight and was no longer just a skeleton. She also looked much more energetic.
My looks should be back to normal soon.
Thinking of this, Bai Li asked with concern, "Have you gained weight?"
Shi Shui nodded obediently: "Yes, I've gained 6 pounds."
Bai Li was overjoyed to hear this and immediately encouraged her, "You're almost back to your normal weight, keep it up!"
I wonder how much Shi Shui's favorability rating has risen to now. I hope it's above 50. If her appearance score rises back, we'll be one step closer to Xiao Hao's level-up.
"Meow~"
Just then, a soft meow came from beside my feet, and I pinched it as tightly as I could.
A furry little creature was affectionately rubbing against my trouser leg.
It's Sanmao.
Sanmao has gotten much fatter than before. He's pampered every day, eating and drinking well, and in a good mood. It's no wonder the kitten is getting fat.
Bai Li bent down and gently rubbed Sanmao's little head, but said something hurtful: "Sanmao~ you should lose weight."
Cats are good, people are bad!
"Meow~"
Sanmao didn't understand, but responded with a sound and snored contentedly, enjoying the caress of Baili.
"Miss, you're back." A familiar voice came from afar.
Bai Li looked up at the sound and followed the direction of the voice.
It was Jingye walking over, and today Jingye was even more handsome than before.
Dressed in a blue Tang-style robe, which perfectly complemented his deep blue eyes, his gold earrings swayed gracefully with his steps, shimmering under the lights, as if outlining a charming halo around his face.
He seemed to exude a unique charm belonging to the quiet night, deep and serene yet dazzling.
Bai Li's eyes lit up, and she felt a momentary emptiness in her heart.
She suspected that Jingye was seducing her, but she had no proof.
Bai Li released Sanmao and got up to walk towards Jingye.
"Jingye, I'm back. How's dinner preparation going?"
Tonight's dinner was a private dinner with a Michelin three-star team who came to her home. I heard they created entirely new dishes according to her tastes.
Jingye had been coordinating things in the kitchen, and when she heard the commotion, she knew that Baili had returned.
"Everything is almost ready, and you've come back just in time."
Bai Li chuckled and praised, "Jing Ye is always reliable when it comes to doing things."
Jingye was very pleased and visibly became happy.
He then asked Bai Li, "Miss Bai, what did you find today?"
Recalling her experience today, Bai Li sighed and said helplessly, "I didn't buy anything, but I inexplicably gained some knowledge."
Jingye gently comforted her, "Perhaps it's just not the right time to meet your true treasure. When the time is right, you will meet it."
In his mind, anything that Bai Li didn't take a liking to should go back and reflect on itself to see if it was good enough.
----------------
Inside the restaurant, soft lighting casts a warm glow on the exquisite tables, creating an elegant and luxurious atmosphere.
As expected of a Michelin three-star restaurant, the dinner did not disappoint.
The appetizer was an exquisite French Ginardo oyster platter. These oysters were flown in that day and were still in their freshest state, with plump, juicy meat.
Served with a small dish of sauce made from premium champagne vinegar, chopped shallots and fresh lemon juice, and a touch of Siberian sturgeon caviar, the various delicious flavors burst together on the tongue.
After the appetizers, dishes made with various top-quality ingredients were served one by one.
Foie gras with fig bread crisps, cordyceps flower and fish maw soup, Kobe beef and foie gras filling in Wellington, lychee rose jelly with Australian finger limes...
It's worth mentioning that each dish has its own suitable beverage, and as the dishes change, the beverages also change constantly. Each pairing precisely brings out the unique flavor of the dish.
Actually, today isn't really a special occasion. Bai Li just wanted to have a lively dinner party, share delicious food with friends, and have a heart-to-heart chat.
Unexpectedly, neither of the men had a high alcohol tolerance.
Shi Shui's condition was the most obvious. Her originally fair face was quickly tinged with crimson, which slowly spread from her cheeks to her neck. Her eyes also became wet, as if covered with a thin layer of mist, giving them a slightly hazy look.
Bai Li was afraid that Shi Shui would really get drunk, so she quickly had someone take away his wine.
As for Jingye, although he tried his best to maintain his usual dignified and composed image, his posture remained upright and his expression did not fluctuate much.
But careful observation reveals that his answers are slower than usual, and under the influence of alcohol, he struggles to organize his thoughts, exposing weaknesses that he doesn't usually show.
