Chapter 97: 097: Takeout (1) Yue Xuexia had finally reached home. After telling Papa Yue about the situation on Aunt Lin's side, she heads to sleep as they had returned at midnight and she hasn't rested all day after leaving Korea. She immediately fell asleep as soon as she laid on her bed, and Yangyang helped her tuck in for that night. He returned to his avatar form as soon as the charter jet landed on the personal air pod in the Moonlight Lake Mansion's area. morning of the next day... Yue Xuexia, who had slept like a deadlog last night, unexpectedly woke up early this morning. Even Yangyang felt refreshed after a good night's sleep. "Hm? It's morning. Did Sister Bingyu arrive yet?" asked Yue Xuexia. Yangyang responded, [She had arrived. By the way, your parents left early in the morning to go to the neighborhood to check on your aunt. [Your sisters are out too.] Yawning, Yue Xuexia asked, "Is there breakfast?" Yangyang answered, [That brat is cooking breakfast. She is making some steamed dumplings and soup, as well as some shumai. Gulps!] Yue Xuexia chuckled when she heard Yangyang gulp, obviously drooling at his own imagination about of how those dumplings and shumai would taste. "If you want to eat, you should return to your human form. Since Sister Bingyu knows you are a cultivator, there is no need to pretend to be coming from the outside." "That's also true. Then I am going to wait for you in the kitchen," Taiyang said as he floated out of the room and instantly transformed into his human form, running down the stairs fearlessly as he knew that only the three of them were around the mansion. Yue Xuexia looked around her wardrobe, looking for a change of clothes, and was a bit startled by the voice of the system in her ears. [Xue'er, Good morning!] This time, the system no longer used the traditional monotonous voice of a machine like it used to before. He used his real voice as Shen Jueyang. "Wuaa~ is that your voice, system? Your voice sounds amazing. Good morning!" said Yue Xuexia. She greeted him casually. The system, or, should I say, Shen Jueyang, felt a bit disappointed. [Would you like to Sign-in for today?] Yue Xuexia said, "Yes, please." [Ding! [Congratulations to Xue'er for obtaining Sea Bay District Commercial Plaza.] "A commercial plaza? I think I heard this place before," said Yue Xuexia. "Thanks, as usual, System." [Hm. Don't take too long bath. [Breakfast is about to be served.] "Yes, Sugar Daddy!" Don't call me sugar daddy!] Yue Xuexia laughs after having fun teasing her system. After taking a shower, Yue Xuexia went downstairs and headed to the kitchen. On the long table in the dining room, the breakfast made by Tan Bingyu had been served. It was steaming hot, appetizing, and the scent made Yue Xuexia's stomach growl. Yue Xuexia greets, "Good morning, Sister Bingyu! Yangyang! Wow, that looks delicious!" Growls~ As for Taiyang, the man had been gorging on his plate long enough to finish a few steamer layers. The pile of empty steaming baskets beside him shows how many he had already eaten. This glutton said, "Go ahead and eat, Xue'er. I saved enough dumpling soup and shumai to make you full." "Thank God you have the heart to save some for me," said Yue Xuexia. "Did you make all of this, Sister Bingyu?" "Yes, my skills aren't as exquisite as Mistress, but what I cook is edible," said Tan Bingyu. Yue Xuexia gestured for her to sit. "No need for such formality. Come join us to eat, Sister Bingyu." "Please excuse me then," said Tan Bingyu as she sat by the table and ate breakfast with her mistress and Taiyang. After eating, the three of them stayed in the living room, waiting for the food to be digested. They are now watching a few advertisements about a Michelin-starred Restaurant that recently opened in their district. The food was limited, yet it all looked presentable and delicious. Taiyang, who hadn't gotten so full yet, was looking at the television with glowing eyes. The two ladies beside him look at him with disbelieving expressions on their faces. Both of their eyes are asking, 'You're still not full?!' The system in the background sighed and murmured, [This thing is not a part of me. I don't believe that he is me!] "But it's true that I haven't tried this new restaurant's food yet. Xue'er., let's eat here for dinner," Yangyang said. Yue Xuexia said, "But I'm tired. I don't want to go out. We can try later if they will accept delivery orders. I'm taking a nap first." She closed her eyes and lean on the couch as if wanting to sleep. After a few minutes, Yue Xuexia indeed fell asleep. Tan Bingyu and Taiyang had to carefully carry her back to her room. Once they do that, they are free to do as they wish. Obviously, Yue Xuexia had no intention of leaving the mansion today, so it can be considered free time, especially since their master is asleep. Tan Bingyu went to her room to cultivate, while Taiyang went to the kitchen took some snacks from the fridge, and went to the theater room to binge-watch a Korean drama 'When the star gossips'. During the afternoon, before the sun had set, Tan Bingyu received a call from Mama Yue saying that she and Papa Yue would be home tomorrow and that they needed to fix dinner for themselves. She tried calling her eldest daughter, Yue Xuexia, and learned that she had taken a nap and still hadn't woken up. They knew that their daughter had been flying all day yesterday and that her sleeping through the night must be caused by jetlag. After informing them at home, the Yue couple went on a cruise date that night. As for the two younger sisters of Yue Xuexia, one stays in her condominium near her workplace. Yue Jixia is interning at a starred hotel with a bit lower standard than her sister's Crowned Regent Hotel. She wanted to work in a place where she wouldn't be treated as a princess and would experience life. The youngest, Yue Ruxia was sleeping over a friend's house, spending the last few days as a university student. Next month, they would need to attend a review center and prepare for the board exam for accounting. They wanted to enjoy leisure before entering hell mode. Evening at night... Yue Xuexia who was sleeping, suddenly woke up abruptly, as if she had a nightmare. She was covered in cold sweat, and she looked dazed when she woke up. Even Shen Jueyang was startled when he saw Yue Xuexia. It looked like she was shocked by something. [Are you alright, Xue'er? Is it a nightmare?] asked Shen Jueyang worriedly. Unexpectedly, Shen Jueyang saw Yue Xuexia frown, yet her face is full of bewilderment. She couldn't recall what just happened to her. [Xue'er ?] Yue Xuexia woke up and said, "System? It's nothing. I just couldn't remember what kind of dream I just had. The moment I open my eyes, I forget what kind of nightmare it is." [Don't worry about it. It's just a dream. Thankfully, you woke up. That glutton had been pouting from hunger ever since he came out of the theater room.] "Did he binge-watch some drama again? No wonder he is hungry. With a minute I need to shower again, I'm covered in sweat," said Yue Xuexia as she ran to the bathroom. What she didn't know was that on her back, lining her spine, a silver moon-shaped birthmark had appeared. Downstairs, Living room... When she came down, Yangyang, who was in a bad mood due to hunger, smiled. His first question is, "Xue'er, are we going to order now?" "Yes, save you that new Michelin Restaurant from before?" asked Yue Xuexia. Yangyang responded, "Of course!" They contacted the restaurant as they had planned. --- Michelin-starred restaurants, especially three-star ones, are all famous. Usually, one would need to make an appointment to be able to dine in the restaurant. It would normally be impossible to request a takeout. They are supposed to be high-end and classy restaurants. Wouldn't asking for takeout destroy the noble feeling one feels when dining in that kind of place? Unfortunately, these three people don't care about this at all. There is a new starred restaurant that recently opened in this district. Actually, there is an old one on the opposite side of the road. It's an ancient-styled one, while theirs is a modern-styled version. There is actually no conflict between the two restaurants. As the service of the two is different, including the food. In the ancient-starred restaurant, what is being served as dishes is recorded in the history of this country, and they called their menu the Emperor's Feast. The dishes were all recorded from the olden times, like bird's nest soup, Beijing duck, wensi tofu, etc. On the other hand, on the opposite side, Michelin Restaurant serves modern cuisine like caviar, butternut squash, Michelin star mash, and more. Of course, takeout and delivery are almost impossible for this kind of restaurant. Yue Xuexia didn't care as long as she fed his glutton. Tan Bingyu knows that everything can be bought with money; even if it cannot be delivered, she can tell some people to take it home for them. Only Taiyang, who didn't know about this and wanted to eat, ordered everything on the menu, especially the ones that were seen on television this morning. --- Sea Bay District Commercial Plaza, new Michelin restaurant... The receptionist received a call from Yue Xuexia. A gentle female voice answered the call Yue Xuexia had made. [Hello! Welcome to the three-star Modern Style Michelin Restaurant. How can I help you?] Yue Xuexia patiently waited for the lady on the opposite side to finish her piece and finally responded, "I want to make an order." The receptionist of the three-star Michelin Restaurant on the other side was dumbfounded. She wanted to order. Is this a prank? The receptionist on the other side reacted quickly and asked, [Miss, do you want to reserve a table? Please tell me the number of people eating and what time you will arrive at the door.] In the restaurant, the receptionist asked a waiter to check for open tables. She thought that Yue Xuexia wanted to reserve a table for dinner. There is actually one free table as one of the reservations has been canceled. She pulled out her record book to list the information as she waited for a response from the customer. Until she heard the lady on the phone say, "I am not calling for a reservation. I don't want to come out of the mansion. I don't plan to book a table. I want to order takeout," said Yue Xuexia. Takeout? This is a word that has never been heard in a Michelin-starred restaurant. After all, what they serve is fine dining and on-the-spot cooking. A sense of absurdity swells in the receptionist's heart this time. She is truly speechless. The receptionist woke up and responded professionally, [Miss, are you joking? You are quite a funny person. Unfortunately, our three-star restaurant doesn't provide takeout. Booking a table is still possible, as there is an open table at this moment in our restaurant.] Even though the receptionist thought that this customer was pranking her, she still responded in a patient manner. After all, the customer is always right. Yue Xuexia responded, "I didn't ask for delivery. I will send a helicopter to pick up the order. You only need to pack up the food." [Miss, please wait for a moment. I will ask the manager to speak with you.] Upon hearing the word 'helicopter', the receptionist was terrified. How can someone possess a helicopter so easily and even mention it simply like a chauffeur car? The call was temporarily muted.
