Cutting in Line and Still Want to Order?
Prince Ling's act of cutting in line naturally stirred dissatisfaction among those waiting patiently outside. Several young masters shouted toward the inside, "We've been freezing out here for so long, why should he skip the line? How much silver did he pay you to cut in? I’m not short of money either, and I have silver. I want to eat now, immediately!"
Once someone took the lead, others began to clamour as well. The crowd outside quickly descended into chaos, and the servants hurried out to maintain order.
But Prince Ling didn’t care about any of that. In his eyes, as the emperor’s son, everyone should yield to him—that was only right!
The noisy commotion outside caught the attention of Su Li, who was busy in the kitchen, barely standing still.
Su Li wiped her hands on her apron, frowning, "What’s going on outside?"
A flustered servant rushed in, saying, "Boss Su, there’s a guest forcing his way ahead in line. When the others saw this, they wanted to follow suit, and it all got chaotic."
"Oh? Who’s so rude?" Su Li poked her head out to look. Outside, it was packed with people. As she walked toward the door, she said, "I’ll go check it out. We have to kick out this line-cutter, or else everyone will start copying him, and there’ll be no order left."
Ling Dang hurriedly followed Su Li outside. She had received orders from Xiao Zitian to personally protect Su Li’s safety. Knowing Su Li’s importance to Xiao Zitian, Ling Dang dared not slack off and immediately followed along.
Led by a servant to the spot near the entrance, the servant pointed at Prince Ling and said, "Boss Su, it’s him who cut in line!"
Su Li and Ling Dang looked in the direction the servant indicated. The moment Ling Dang saw Prince Ling, her fingers instinctively clenched, and she was startled inwardly, thinking: Why is Prince Ling here?
Prince Ling was in the middle of his business. Looking up, he saw two young women, both wearing aprons, probably kitchen helpers.
The woman standing in front was delicately pretty, with a melon-shaped face, translucent fair skin, a small nose, and large watery eyes full of cunning and clarity. Her lips were red and full, instantly reminding Prince Ling of the plum blossom petals he had crushed to mud.
The younger woman behind her was more petite and extremely charming, her eyes slightly squinting like crescent moons.
Prince Ling hadn’t expected that in the kitchen of this elegant vegetarian restaurant, there were two distinct little beauties hidden away.
Besides his love for food, Prince Ling also had a fondness for beauties. Seeing the two pretty girls, his expression softened, and with his usual charming and carefree demeanor, he touched the priceless jade ring on his finger. His narrow eyes sparkled as he looked at the delicate woman in front, flashing a smile that could drive a girl crazy: "Are you two young ladies here to take my order? What are your restaurant’s signature dishes? Do tell me in detail."
Seeing him smile, Su Li thought to herself, this guy looks quite decent, a handsome face, though still far from my Yuanbao.
Unfortunately, he may look decent, but why is he so rude in his actions?
So many people causing trouble outside, all because of this guy starting it, ruining her business. Su Li was angry just thinking about it.
Prince Ling used his usual method of charming women, which had never failed. Next, these two little beauties should blush and cozy up to him.
But unexpectedly, the beautiful woman in front showed no kindness. With an unfriendly tone, she stared at Prince Ling and said, "Who told you to cut in line? You look educated, don’t you have any manners? You want to cut in line and still order? No way!"
