Chapter 56
Huo Wu did not remember any of the long names of the desserts the waiter had just listed; she merely remembered a few words here and there. In the end, it didn’t matter because she waved her hand and said boldly, “I want all the desserts you had just listed.”
The waiter glanced at Huo Wu’s delicate face and slender figure.
There was a group of people in this world that are especially favored by God.
Not only do those people have a flawless appearance and figure, but they would also have an influential family background. The most important aspect was that they’re not even afraid of eating desserts at night because they won’t gain weight!
Huo Yusen had already ordered his meal, so the waiter picked up the menu on the table and left.
After the waiter left, Huo Yusen and Monier continued to discuss their business. Huo Wu didn’t understand any of what they’re saying, so she played with herself.
Fortunately, the hotel was very efficient at serving food in a timely manner. The dishes they ordered were ready in no time.
Huo Wu’s expression didn’t change as one plate after another of beautiful desserts were served by the waiter, instead, it was the expression on Mr. Monier’s face that had changed.
His eye subconsciously lingered on the desserts that Huo Wu ordered. The desserts were finely made and looked especially delicious and fragrant.
Huo Wu chuckled secretly in her heart when she saw how Monier was looking at the desserts.
Monier did not lust for women nor did he lack money. He only had two hobbies; one of his hobbies is calligraphy and the other was eating desserts.
He even reached the point where he cannot live without desserts.
Monier’s love for calligraphy was something that everyone who was familiar with him knew about. However, no one knew that he also secretly loved desserts because Monier had carefully hidden this secret. This secret was unintentionally discovered by Mo Ze in their previous life, and in this life, Huo Wu managed to benefit it.
The reason why Monier carefully hid his love for desserts was that he was afraid that people would laugh at him if they found out. After all, he was already an old man, how could he let others know that he loved indulging in desserts? In the past few years, due to his obesity, his family doctor had restricted his diet by limiting the number of desserts he was allowed to consume.
It had been over half a month since he last ate dessert.
Due to this, he no longer could control the desire in his eyes whenever he had seen a dessert.
The desserts made by the dessert chef of this hotel are all very unique. Although the dessert chef had gone to France to learn how to make French desserts, he did not blindly copy the French desserts. Instead, he incorporated both Chinese and Western elements into the desserts he made. The desserts were a perfect fusion of both cultures, so each dessert had a unique taste.
For example, this hotel’s most famous dessert was made with sweet rice wine. This dessert was unique because sweet rice wine was a delicacy that the French people had not tasted yet.
The desserts placed in front of him were desserts that Monier had never tasted before.
Because every dessert was exquisite, each dessert only amounted to one small bite. It was only enough for one person to eat. He was too embarrassed to fight with a young girl over desserts.
In addition to that, his love for desserts was a secret, so he was ashamed to expose his little secret to others.
Huo Wu had already noticed that Monier was staring at the desserts on the table. Now, she inexplicably felt that this old Frenchman was quite adorable. Although he usually appeared stern and solemn, he was actually just a Frenchman that enjoyed sweets.
Even though he usually appeared serious, Huo Wu guessed that he probably was a big softie at heart.
He no longer looked like the rumored domineering media tycoon seeing how anxiously he was staring at the desserts right now.
Huo Wu looked at one of the desserts in front of her and deliberately pushed the plate towards Monier. She said, “This dessert looks too sweet. I don’t want to eat it.”
Although Monier was unable to communicate with Huo Wu due to their language barrier, he was still able to deduce what she had just said by looking at the expression on her face. He deliberately asked Huo Yusen what she had just said in French, and Huo Yusen repeated Huo Wu’s words.
