Chapter 315: Chapter 197: Pinned Against the Wall by Shen Baobao! Preparing a Dish for Dad and Father-in-law to Enjoy with Drinks! [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_2
As he said this, everyone’s interest was piqued.
During the award ceremony, many people were analyzing the principle behind it.
Now that they heard tutorials would be released, everyone started following the topic of Lin Ji’s Food. They also followed Lin Xu’s personal account.
After chatting a bit more, Lin Xu said goodbye to the fans.
He then took the two trophies and headed to the audience seats.
"Xu Bao!"
Shen Baobao rushed over, nearly knocking Lin Xu down.
Why is it always so sudden... Lin Xu held an individual trophy in one hand and the hotel’s platinum trophy in the other. He wanted to hug Shen Baobao but couldn’t, so he just held them awkwardly in mid-air.
Fortunately, his sister-in-law was quick to react. She took the two trophies and went off to take selfies with Geng Lele.
"Thank you for your flowers. I really like them," Shen Jiayue said, overjoyed.
Her senior brother mentioned that Qingshui Furong was a dish their master created to please his wife. Hearing this, Shen Jiayue felt a little envious, wishing her own Xu Bao would pamper her a bit too. Even just for a brief moment would be fine. Yep, Shen Baobao was that easily satisfied.
However, she hadn’t expected such a scene to unfold after Lin Xu prepared the dish; it was completely beyond her expectations.
"We’re getting engaged tomorrow. I wouldn’t want you to have any regrets." Lin Xu’s words warmed Shen Baobao’s heart once again.
Wow! He actually did this so I wouldn’t have any regrets about the engagement.
Excited, Shen Jiayue grabbed Lin Xu and headed outside. "Come with me for a sec! I have something to tell you!"
Lin Xu gave an apologetic smile to his parents and in-laws, then followed her out of the venue.
He wondered what she was up to. But as soon as they left the banquet hall, Shen Baobao turned around, pushed him against the wall without a word, then tiptoed and kissed him.
Lin Xu: "..."
Good heavens, I got wall-slammed! So now I’m supposed to ask this girl to take responsibility for me for life, right?
He gently broke free from Shen Baobao’s grasp and then wrapped his arms tightly around her, passionately reciprocating her kiss.
"HAHA, the photos are clearer outside! Lele, take a couple of shots for me. I’m going to show off on my Moments later..." Chen Yan stood at the entrance to the banquet hall, holding the two trophies as if she were Li Yuanba brandishing two purple-gold maces. Suddenly, she saw the two at the doorway locked in a heated kiss.
Who am I? Where am I? What was I about to do? AH AH AH AH, this is the second time!!!! Why must this shameless couple flaunt their affection so wantonly right in front of me? If it weren’t for looking forward to enjoying Qingshui Furong all to myself on my birthday, I’d really want to swing these trophies at both their heads right now! Their constant public displays of affection... Can’t they have some public decency?! AH AH AH AH!!!
Chief Chen had originally planned to take a set of photos celebrating the culinary victory, but now she had completely lost interest and just wanted to find a quiet corner.
"Huh? Why aren’t you taking photos anymore?" Geng Lele asked, seeing Chen Yan enter looking lost. She then peeked out the door herself. TSK TSK. "More engrossing than gnawing on a duck head. Is it really that good?"
Before long, people started leaving the banquet hall. Lin Xu and Shen Baobao finally stopped their intense, seal-like kissing.
They said goodbye to the TV station staff, the judges, and the fans who were there to support them. After most of the people had left, they handed the platinum trophy to their Senior Brother.
Xie Baomin looked dejected. "I just had a chat with Chairman Liu, and I found out that there was supposed to be a middle-aged group competition after your youth group finished..."
Lin Xu was startled. "Isn’t that good news, Senior Brother?"
"Indeed, it’s good news," Xie Baomin sighed. "However, because your victory was so smooth, all the other hotels withdrew from the competition. As a result, the middle-aged group competition just faded away."
Lin Xu: "..."
No wonder Senior Brother looked so unhappy. It was such a great opportunity for him to show off, and now it was gone.
He hadn’t anticipated things would turn out this way. If he had known, he would have made the competition a bit more difficult. Then, perhaps those middle-aged chefs would have thought Fishing Platform was nothing special and eagerly come to challenge them.
Sigh! I was too careless! If there’s a similar competition in the future, I definitely need to hold back a bit. Try to win by a narrow margin. That way, after defeating the younger ones, we might attract the older ones to serve as punching bags for Senior Brother.
"Tomorrow’s engagement. Remember to come early. Don’t let her family think we lack manners. After all, they’re marrying their daughter to our side, so be smart and say plenty of nice things."
"Mm-hmm, I know, Senior Brother."
「After the brothers parted.」
Xie Baomin looked at the platinum trophy in his hands and sighed again. Shouldn’t they have eagerly come for revenge after seeing their restaurant’s young members defeated? Why did those cowards withdraw?
Leaving the banquet hall and reaching the lobby of Building One, Lin Xu saw his parents and in-laws waiting for him. He strode over.
"We can go back now," Lin Xu announced. He then looked at Shen Guofu and asked, "Dad, you drank at noon. Should we find someone to drive back?"
Shen Guofu pointed to his daughter. "No need, Yueyue can drive. Let’s go, let’s go! We’ll go to your place and have a good celebration."
And so, the young couple drove two cars, bringing both families to Yingchun Street. After parking the cars in the residential complex, Lin Xu said to his parents, "You guys go up first. I’m going to buy some groceries at the supermarket."
If it’s a celebration, of course, you need to prepare a few dishes.
Hearing this, Shen Baobao also followed. "I’ll go too, I’ll go too..." Shen Baobao chimed in. She took a small, exquisite parasol from her bag, opened it, and then said:
