TSMVHATRM Chapter 101

Time Space: the Male Villain Has the Ability To Read Minds Chapter 101: Getting Intimate with the Villainous Boss

Looking into Xie Jiagui’s ambitious eyes, Pei Tiantian was thrilled. “Uncle Xie, shouldn’t we change the restaurant’s name? That way, we can attract more customers.”

Xie Jiagui looked at the simple name written above his restaurant: “Xie Family Restaurant.”

He suddenly realized that the restaurant’s name was indeed quite ordinary and unremarkable.

If he went to a new place, such a name might not attract anyone’s attention at all.

So Xie Jiagui and the others in the restaurant came up with several names.

After eliminating several, only three remained: “Taifenglou,” “Shixiangge,” and “Yushanfang.”

“Yushanfang” was Xie Jiagui’s suggestion. He wasn’t very cultured; he only knew that the food prepared in the imperial kitchen of the ancient palace was for the emperor, and food for the emperor must be the best.

Zhong Xiuying preferred the name “Shixiangge,” saying that “Yushanfang” sounded a bit too extravagant.

After all, Xie Jiagui was just a chef in a small restaurant; naming his restaurant that way seemed a bit too ambitious.

Zhou Wanhong and the others also preferred the name “Shixiangge,” saying it was more artistic and elegant.

Just as Xie Jiagui succumbed to the pressure and decided to name it Shixiangge, Pei Tiantian spoke up: “I think ‘Yushanfang’ is a great name! It has a better meaning than the other names, and it’s very grand. Uncle Xie, Tiantian believes your restaurant will gradually become a grand establishment, and your food will be as priceless as the dishes in the Imperial Kitchen!”

Xie Jiagui immediately felt that Pei Tiantian’s words resonated with him, and he was so excited he wanted to slam his fist on the table.

No chef doesn’t want their culinary skills to be recognized.

Xie Jiagui’s lifelong dream was to let everyone in the world enjoy his cooking.

He would feel incredibly satisfied to hear someone say “good.”

However, as he grew older, this dream gradually faded, turning into a resignation to reality.

Xie Jiagui started cooking in the kitchen when he was twelve years old, and it had been over twenty years since then.

During the famine, he creatively transformed the family’s meager food supplies into delicious meals, and everyone in his family praised them.

Later, he continued to research recipes, and now many of the vegetarian and meat dishes in the restaurant are his own creations, and no customer has ever complained about their quality.

He had also had the privilege of eating at high-end restaurants, but compared to those, he always felt his cooking was superior.

Xie Jiagui didn’t consider himself a frog in a well, blindly confident. However, he never shared his thoughts with anyone else.

Deeply moved by Pei Tiantian’s words, Xie Jiagui decisively decided to rename the Xie Family Restaurant “Royal Kitchen.”

Seeing Xie Jiagui’s rare assertiveness and determination, Zhong Xiuying and Zhou Wanhong noticed his unexpected persistence on this matter.

They stopped arguing with him and unanimously agreed to rename the restaurant “Royal Kitchen.”
Pei Tiantian sat smiling to the side.

Royal Kitchen, the future largest chain restaurant in China, was finally about to officially open its doors.

She was witnessing history.

Once Xie Jiagui arrives in the city, that will be the time for him to truly make his mark.

Pei Tiantian eagerly anticipates that day.

After all, in the novel, the Imperial Kitchen rose to prominence in just five years, becoming a leading restaurant chain with branches all over China.

Xie Jiagui must have some unexpected adventures later on; otherwise, he couldn’t have achieved such great success so quickly.

…

Soon it was December, and the weather was already quite cold. Pei Tiantian’s most painful thing now was getting up early every morning.

The cold wind howled outside, and before dawn, Pei Tiantian followed Pei Zhiwen to the town by carriage.

Pei Tiantian was wearing a thick down jacket, a white knitted hat with two pom-poms, and a pink fluffy scarf around her neck. Her little hands were also adorned with knitted gloves specially knitted for her by Wang Ruizhen.

Even fully bundled up, she couldn’t shake off her morning grumpiness. Her grape-like eyes drooped, her lips pouting, and she walked along the road, sullen and unhappy.

She really didn’t want to go to school; she just wanted to stay in bed forever.

“Tiantian, be careful!”

Pei Zhiwen exclaimed.

Pei Tiantian was silently complaining and hadn’t even reacted when, in the next instant, one of her little legs was submerged in a puddle.

The icy water instantly soaked her little shoes.

Pei Zhiwen quickly rushed forward and scooped her out with both hands, preventing Pei Tiantian’s pants from getting wet as well .

Pei Tiantian stared at her wet little shoes with resentment and anger, suppressing the urge to tilt her head back at a 45-degree angle and burst into tears.

Waaah, why was she so unlucky?

“Uncle!” Pei Tiantian nestled in Pei Zhiwen’s arms, looking aggrieved.

Pei Zhiwen knelt down and placed Pei Tiantian on his lap, then took off her little shoes and socks, revealing her little feet, red and frostbitten.

Pei Zhiwen took out a handkerchief he always carried and wiped Pei Tiantian’s feet clean.

Because of the cold, her little feet unconsciously curled up into a ball.

Just then, Gu Rong took out one of his gloves and carefully slipped it onto Pei Tiantian’s little feet.

The still-warm glove immediately made Pei Tiantian feel much warmer.

Pei Tiantian looked at Gu Rong with teary eyes, deeply moved.

Gu Rong’s hands were prone to chilblains, and in winter his fingers would turn into chubby little heads.

But even so, he didn’t hesitate to give her his glove to use as a temporary sock.

Pei Tiantian nuzzled her head close to Gu Rong’s face, unable to resist pressing her cheek against his affectionately, like two little animals snuggling together: “Thank you, Brother Gu Rong.”

The soft flesh of his cheek brushed against hers, and Gu Rong felt the spot where it had been touched begin to redden and even burn.

Gu Rong, like a startled little fox, abruptly took a step back, his eyes wide.

Pei Tiantian was taken aback at first, then giggled.

What was the villainous boss doing?

So adorable!

She had never seen such a lively expression on his perpetually expressionless face.

She had only pressed her cheek against his, why such a big reaction?

The villainous boss really wasn’t used to being close to people.

Pei Tiantian thought to herself with a secret smile.

Since the villainous boss reacted so strongly, she would have to press her cheek against his more often in the future.

He would have no choice but to get used to it.

After taking Pei Tiantian to school, Pei Zhiwen gave her wet shoes and socks to Tao Jing, who then dried them over a charcoal brazier.

He then took them to Pei Tiantian’s classroom.

Seeing her little shoes and socks were warm and cozy, Pei Tiantian eagerly put them on.

She returned the gloves she had taken off to the villainous boss.
