Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 685

Wang Yanran glanced at the private room and sighed, "As expected of a tycoon. One meal cost me a month's living expenses."

Bai Ningbing, on the side, couldn't resist a playful jab, "That's not right, Yan Ran. Isn't your monthly living expense 5,000 yuan? This meal was only a little over 3,000!"

Actually, Wang Yanran's family was already quite well-off compared to the average college student. To put it in perspective, the average monthly living expense for college students at the time, even generously estimated, didn't exceed 2,500 yuan. This meant Wang Yanran's living expenses were double the average. A family would typically need a monthly income of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan to provide 5,000 yuan for living expenses. Of course, this didn't account for parents who doted on their children endlessly—those who might earn 10,000 yuan a month but still give their child 5,000 yuan.

"..."

Facing Bai Ningbing's teasing, Wang Yanran could only pout.

"Hahaha!" Shen Na burst out laughing beside them. "Ningbing, that's so like you."

A moment later, the appetizers were served. It was a dish of chrysanthemum mixed with mushrooms, offering a preliminary awakening for the taste buds.

Bai Ningbing started eating right away. Wang Yanran chose to take pictures to commemorate the occasion first, and Shen Na waited for Wang Yanran to finish her photos before eating with her.

Luofeng tasted the appetizers and suddenly had a sinking feeling that this meal was going to be a flop. He had initially thought that a 3,888 yuan per person set meal would be astonishing, but the appetizers alone made him feel it was already a letdown.

The first round of starters arrived, including many dishes: mashed turnip with salmon roe, and sliced abalone with egg yolk sauce. Luofeng tasted them all. After tasting them, Luofeng felt it was definitely a disappointment. However, Bai Ningbing seemed to think it was okay, or at least she didn't show any signs of dissatisfaction.

The second dish arrived, and it was pretty standard.

No, wait. Not just standard. It feels somewhat unworthy. A 3,888 yuan per person set meal, and the sashimi is Peony Shrimp?

The fourth round, various steamed items, finally showed some quality with its ingredients, ranging from shark fins to king crab, and from star eel to left mouth fish, along with dried scallops. These were all somewhat better than the previous round of sashimi, but they still didn't justify the 3,888 yuan price tag.

Next up was the Sakura Country barbecue. King crab legs were basic, and caviar and foie gras were also standard fare. There were absolutely no surprises. It didn't even meet standard expectations.

What followed—the pickled dishes, tempura, and the main course—none of it amazed Luofeng. The only thing that caught his eye was the final dessert: a pumpkin cake and a matcha drink.

On a scale of ten, considering the price of 3,888 yuan, I'd probably only give it a four, right? It doesn't even pass.

"Baby, are you full?" Luofeng asked.

Bai Ningbing nodded affirmatively. "Mhm, I'm not just full, I think I ate a bit too much!"

Wang Yanran agreed, "The portions were indeed a bit large!"

Shen Na smiled and said, "Could it be that you didn't get enough to eat?"

Luofeng nodded. "I indeed didn't. Baby, do you still want your cake?"

Bai Ningbing had only taken one bite of her pumpkin cake. She handed it directly to Luofeng. "Here, you have it!"

Luofeng smiled and ate it without hesitation. But after finishing, Luofeng still didn't feel full.

"This restaurant is kind of average," Luofeng sighed, offering his assessment.

In reality, this meal was a complete flop. Luofeng hadn't even triggered the Food Cashback Card. He had been hoping to trigger the cashback card to snag some bargains, but all his plans had fallen through.

However, Luofeng noticed that Shen Na also didn't seem very satisfied with Cicada Shell.

"Please wait a moment," Luofeng said as he stood up to pay the bill.

At 3,888 yuan per person, for four people, it came to about 17,500 yuan, including a service charge of roughly fifteen percent.

After settling the bill, Luofeng proactively suggested, "Baby, how about we take a stroll down Fengqing Street?"

Shen Na had mentioned earlier that she had been to the Cloud Hotel before, which was how she remembered the courtesy cars. She also knew about Cicada Shell, and her critique of it was quite incisive.

Interesting!

Luofeng said, "Oh, by the way, Baby, I have another gift for you!"

"Ah? What are you going to give me now?"

Before Luofeng could reply, Bai Ningbing refused, "You just gave me a watch yesterday. I don't want any more gifts; don't waste your money."

This silly girl.

Luofeng ruffled Bai Ningbing's hair and asked, "Do you remember what I told you a few days ago?"

"Ah?" Bai Ningbing exclaimed in surprise.

"I asked Chen Dali to get your Lu Yin transferred here. Then I checked the situation at South Lake Peninsula across the way and found that apartment 3801 in Building A was available directly from the developer, so I bought it."

"What are you doing?" Bai Ningbing chided affectionately. "I already said I didn't want it. Why did you actually buy it? It's very expensive here; an apartment like that likely costs tens of millions. It's not worth it."

Wang Yanran, standing to the side, was utterly flabbergasted.

Luofeng bought Bai Ningbing an apartment? In South Lake Peninsula?

Is this for real? Am I dreaming?
