The scene was incredibly awkward at one point.
Huai Shi stood there, dumbfounded, unable to react. He couldn't understand why Shenjin Qing, a proper Chef Demon, would come to a Tanbo Inner Circle izakaya.
Moreover, it seemed like he had painstakingly inquired for quite some time...
Shenjin Qing was no longer concerned with anything else, moving step by step in front of the bar, completely unaware of anyone else's presence, his eyes fixated solely on the stunned woman.
"Miss A Tao, it really is you, really is you..." He grasped the lady boss's hand, nearly crying from excitement: "I finally, finally found you."
A Tao's hand stiffened for a moment, subconsciously pulled away, and dryly said, "Shen-kun, please calm down, it's still business hours now."
"Sorry, sorry."
Shenjin Qing finally noticed his loss of composure and quickly stepped back, raising his sleeve to wipe his reddened eyes, revealing a serious and sincere expression.
