"I came back from the sect, and the next day I was told about the marriage," Ye Tian Yun frowned, "And you're saying that I was the desperate one?"
Gao Long shrugged, "Yeah, it was you who wanted to get engaged, but this was more than a year ago. Your wish was, however, rejected by both of our clans. But because of some reasons, this marriage is now happening."
"Oh, really?" Ye Tian Yun found it hard to believe Gao Long's words.
Fang Chen was not a normal kid. He calculated everything and would never want to have any limelight. And asking for an engagement with Gao Clan's Third Miss would have definitely made him the center of attention.
Ye Tian Yun inwardly sighed and changed the topic, "I guess I was being childish. Anyway, I don't see Young Master Gao Xuan. Is he not here?"
Gao Long pursed his lips, "He will be here soon. Why don't we have some dessert first?"
"Sure," Ye Tian Yun shrugged.
He had already lost interest in conversing with Gao Long.
'It's not like I want to marry your sister. Once I am done with my work, I will just fake my death and disappear. She's marrying Fang Chen, not Ye Tian Yun.'
Ye Tian Yun thought to himself.
He knew his thoughts were a bit delusional, but when it came to marriage and interpersonal relationships, Ye Tian Yun was quite lacking in this field.
While Ye Tian Yun was silent, Jun Xie and Gao Long were conversing.
Zheng Xiang didn't say anything because he felt Gao Long was disrespectful towards Ye Tian Yun, whom he respected a lot and considered the latter a brother.
"Oh, here they are." Gao Long smiled as one of the maids came over to the table and handed over the brochure.
"You should try the new thing, it isn't the main course, but I think you would love it once you try." He suggested.
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun stared at the list, "Is it this one? French Fries?"
"Yeah," Gao Long nodded, "They are my favorite. Though, I don't recommend too many of them."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Let's try it then."
Gao Long then said, "And the main course, well, except for the quality cook, the dishes are not unique ones. My brother hasn't finalized the new dishes yet, or I would have definitely recommended that."
"Oh, then what do you recommend for now?"
"Hm, right now? Well, I say this one…"
….
Agreeing to Gao Long's recommendation, Ye Tian Yun and the others chose their respective dishes.
About five minutes later, the curtain behind moved, and a maid brought a plate of French Fries.
"Ah, I can never get over this smell!" Gao Long smile.
Ye Tian Yun was a bit taken aback upon tasting them.
"It's potato…"
"Yeah," Gao Long smiled, "But that's not the only unique thing. It's this!"
He then moved his hand on one of the bottles on the plates and squeezed out a reddish paste right beside the french fries on the plate.
"This is called Sauce." He said, "Dip the tip of your french fries and take a bite."
Ye Tian Yun followed, and upon tasting, a smile formed on his face.
"It's not the tastiest thing, but it's a bit addictive," He assessed.
Jun Xie also nodded, "Yeah, this is unique. I think the saltiness and crispness are what makes this whole thing stand out."
Gao Long smiled and asked, "How about you, my young ladies?"
"It's definitely something I would want to have occasionally." Bai Qing'er said.
Wu Qingwu also nodded, "It's good."
"Yes." Zheng Xiang only said one word.
Gao Long smiled lightly at him for a moment, and then he too began to eat his French Fries.
Just as he took the first bite, he suddenly frowned.
'This…'
But not focusing too much on his thoughts, he continued to have the French Fries.
"These and the burger are called Fast Foods." Gao Long started, "It's mainly because they can be made fast, and in great numbers, at once. And another reason is that it's less messy than a full meal."
"But these are not much in amount. You have noticed that too, right?"
As Ye Tian Yun nodded, Gao Long added, "It's to bring in more customers, and another reason is that having too much of these, especially French Fries at once, will make you averse from them."
…
They finished the French Fries and talked some more about the incoming Grand Spirit Hunt.
A few minutes later, the main course was brought in.
It didn't take long before it was served, and the guests began to eat.
"It's tasty." Ye Tian Yun commented after his first mouthful, "The dishes are quite common ones, but… the taste. It's unique and worth it."
Gao Long smiled. He had yet to start his dinner, and upon hearing YeTian Yun's comment, a thought appeared in his mind.
'Wait till you eat my sister's hand-cooked food.'
His sister, Gao Suyin, was the best cook that he knew of, and if someone asked him who would be the best cook in the Lower Heavens - he wouldn't even think before naming his younger sister.
'And this bastard will get to enjoy her cooking…'
No one knew or would believe if they heard that the main reason why Gao Long was dissatisfied by the marriage agreement between Gao and Fang clan was that he wouldn't be able to eat her sister's hand-cooked food daily after she got married.
'Sigh, she only started to cook for me a year ago… now I only have three weeks left before she goes to the Fang Clan….'
Gao Suyin's cooking had made Gao Long a food enthusiast - albeit only for her sister's cooking.
In simple words, he was 'Gao Suyin's Cooked Food Enthusiast.'
Inwardly sighing, he moved his chopsticks and put the first bite in his mouth.
As soon as the food touched his tongue, a frown appeared on his face.
'This… this is not normal cooking...'
'This is Suyin's cooking!'
'She cooked this dinner herself!?'
