Chapter 678 Didn“t even let me join

"Aiya, this old me has kept you both waiting for too long."

Madam Zhao laughs heartily as she enters back out to the dining area. She heads straight for Yue Ling and Lu Tian’s table with two workers following behind. Each person pushing a stainless serving cart.

She stops in front of their table and waves a signal for the two workers to set the food down. She takes a few steps to Yue Ling’s side and smiles warmly.

"Child, I personally prepared each dish for you. I hope they are to your liking."

Yue Ling stares at the table and she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It’s true that she is hungry, but judging from the food, will she able to finish a meal that is usually prepared for six people?

There was hotpot with its side dished, along with Sichuan pork, steamed vermicelli rolls, wonton soup, and Ma Po tofu.

She contemplated on what to say and looks up at Madam Zhao. However, seeing the middle-aged woman’s happy and proud expression, she could only sigh inside.

"Thank you for the lovely dinner. I will try my best to finish it all."

Seeing her smile that can warm any person’s heart, both Lu Tian and Madam Zhao were touched to the core.

Lu Tian quickly clears his throat to distract himself from going over to kiss his wife. However, unlike her nephew, Madam Zhao places the back of her head on her forehead like she was going to faint.

"Oh dear, you are truly a true beauty. If I was a man and younger, I would have snatched you away from my nephew."

"..."

She giggles without a care like a little girl speaking to her long-time crush for the first time. Even when she felt the cold and murderous aura emitting from Lu Tian, she smacks it away like it was a flea.

"Alright, alright. You must be hungry, so I won’t take up your time anymore. Eat as much as you want, everything is on the house."

Lu Tian’s dark eyes continued to glare at his aunt until she disappeared into the kitchen. He thought his mother was worse, but compared to his aunt, his mother’s greed for his wife is by far inferior.

However, even if the two old women want to steal his wife, he will never let that happen. Even if the person is their future child.

He sounds a faint hmmf and looks at his wife. The cold air that surrounded him quickly disperse, but he was stupefied when his eyes met her bluish green eyes.

Lu Tian: "..."

Yue Ling didn’t know what to think at this very moment. The man sitting across from her is an adult, right? But why is it that, he looked more like a child?

"Your aunt was only joking. Why are you being so serious?"

Hearing her words, Lu Tian furrows his brows with pouting lips. He picks up his chopsticks and reaches for the food as he places them inside her bowl.

"Joking or not, everything is serious for me when it involves you."

Yue Ling was struck by disbelief. She wanted to argue his words but stops herself. Knowing Lu Tian, he’ll always have something to respond back.

She decides to put her attention on the interior of Elegancy again and gradually takes in its beauty.

A sudden thought comes to her mind and she shifts her attention back to Lu Tian. Her eyes slightly narrow and observes his every move.

"Were you the one who planned all this?"

Lu Tian continues to carefully pick out each dish for his wife. However, despite him being busy, he didn’t forget to answer with a nod.

Yue Ling ponders to herself then pouts her lip.

"Why?"

It wasn’t her birthday nor was it his. So why go so far as to decorate the place?

Lu Tian places a piece of Ma Po tofu inside her bowl and glance in her direction. He knew what she was thinking, and he sighs inside. Good thing, he planned ahead or else he would be in trouble.

He places the bowl in front of her then proceeds to fill his own bowl.

"After everything that has happened, I just feel like surprising you with a romantic dinner."

Giving her a smile after his words, he pours warm tea into two cups then passes one to her.

"Eat before everything gets cold."

Yue Ling sat in silence without taking her eyes off of him. She watches as he picks up his chopsticks to eat.

She found it strange that he would go over the moon to prepare something like this for her. She glances at the restaurant windows and furrows her brows.

He said this is a ’romantic dinner’, but can it really be considered dinner if the sun is still out?

However, quickly as the thought came to her, she decides not to push it further and picks up her chopsticks to eat too.

After all, Madam Zhao and Uncle Zhao must have spent a long time preparing this delicious meal.

While Yue Ling and Lu Tian proceed to eat, at the back of the restaurant, Liu Shan, Xu Long and Lin Hui sat on the floor with their backs leaned against the wall.

"Man, I didn’t think they would get here so fast."

Lin Hui heaves a long sigh and fans himself with his hand. On either side of him, both assistants nod their heads in agreement. Xu Long glance at the wall clock and force himself off the floor.

"Come on guys. No time to rest, we have to get going. With the way my boss drives, they might get to the next place before we do."

Hearing his words, Liu Shan and Lin Hui could only cry on the inside like winners.

When they arrived at Elegancy, they were sure they would ahead of time and helped with the decorations. However, who would have thought that Lu Tian was some race car driver and arrived only ten minutes after them.

Even they were barely able to finish putting up the decorations. Left with no other choice, they had to force Madam Zhao to go outside and stall a little bit of time for them.

Luckily for them, luck was on their side and they finished in time.

Standing up from the floor, Liu Shan and Lin Hui stretch out their arms at the same time. With their palms facing upwards, both men slowly raise their arms and inhale a mouthful of air.

As their hands reach above their heads, they slowly brought their arms down with palms facing downwards in front of them.

Once their hands pass their whole head, both men exhale like they were meditating.

Liu Shan felt all his energy return to him, and he looks over to Xu Long.

"Alright, let’s get going."

Watching the assistant and subordinate leave, Xu Long was baffled by what happened. He stares in disbelief at the two figures then looks at Zhao Ya’Er.

"How rude. They didn’t even let me join in."

His words fell as he cries with no tears and sadly follows out the back door of the restaurant. However, if he had turned around, he would have seen the look of admiration in Zhao Ya’Er’s glistening eyes.
