The boss was a middle-aged man with an honest face, who was now sitting behind the barbecue stand, sweating profusely as he busied himself. His skin had turned dark and shiny from long-term exposure to the smoke and flames of cooking.
Upon seeing Lin Haitang, the man seemed to want to come over and greet her, but there were too many customers and the stall was clearly overwhelmed. He could only nod apologetically as a way of saying hello.
It was only then that Meng Lang noticed that the man's right sleeve was empty; he was working entirely with one hand.
"Lawyer Lin, please have a seat. This gentleman... is he your boyfriend?"
Meng Lang immediately put on a smile, "Yes, I am her boyfriend! Sister Liu, you have good eyesight!"
Lin Haitang rolled her eyes but showed no intention of arguing.
The two of them sat down, with Sister Liu occasionally coming over to add more dishes, clearly giving them special attention. It seemed she was very familiar with Lin Haitang.
