Just Graduated, the Aloof School Flower Brought the Baby to the Door?-Chapter 44 - Preparing a Full-Month Banquet for the Babies
Chapter 44: Preparing a Full-Month Banquet for the Babies
After looking around, Shu Mengyao and Lin Yang finally arrived at the Lotus Restaurant.
This was one of the top places in Jiangcheng, second only to Fenglou.
The prices weren’t cheap either, but it was a place that was presentable.
Since it was work hours, the restaurant was relatively quiet.
Shu Mengyao walked cautiously into the main hall. Seeing that it wasn’t too crowded, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Still, she instinctively held onto Lin Yang’s sleeve.
Feeling her movement, Lin Yang assertively took her small hand in his, wrapping it in his larger palm.
Feeling the warmth from his hand, Shu Mengyao tried to steady her emotions.
“Sir, madam, are you here for a meal?”
A friendly waitress approached them enthusiastically.
“Wow, your babies are adorable! Are they twins?”
Seeing the two little ones, her heart melted.
At that moment, Yun Yun and Xing Xing were lying quietly in their stroller, not making a fuss, just waving their tiny hands in the air.
They were simply too cute for words.
“We’re planning to hold a full-month banquet for our babies and would like to book a private room.”
“The banquet is in ten days. Is it still possible to make a reservation?”
As the decision-maker, Lin Yang spoke calmly.
Meanwhile, Shu Mengyao nervously stuck close to his side, remaining silent.
To the restaurant staff, this looked like a loving couple showing off their affection—where the husband handled things outside and the wife took care of matters inside.
How perfect!
Sobs
Truly, no couple is innocent when single people suffer!
“Sir, how many tables will you need?”
“We only have one small private room left for that day, which can accommodate about 4-6 tables.”
The staff patiently inquired about their needs.
“About three or four tables.”
Lin Yang had already thought about this issue beforehand.
Both his parents and Shu Mengyao’s parents wanted a grand celebration.
Everyone wanted the babies to be introduced to the world in a grand manner, which was understandable.
However, Lin Yang also considered the situation.
Shu Mengyao had just completed her postpartum confinement, and the babies had just turned one month old.
Their immune systems were still weak.
Moreover, Shu Mengyao was naturally introverted and socially anxious.
A large gathering wouldn’t be beneficial for either the babies or the mother.
So instead of a grand event, a smaller, more intimate gathering seemed like the better choice.
They could always go big for their wedding in the future.
The restaurant’s tables could seat about twelve people each, so four or five tables would be more than enough.
“That won’t be a problem, sir. Do you have any specific preferences for the menu?”
“We offer four pricing options: 4,888, 5,888, 6,888, and 8,888.”
“Each package includes different dishes, and you can customize the selection.”
People who dined at this restaurant generally weren’t short on money, so the staff remained calm while quoting the prices.
In the past, Shu Mengyao wouldn’t have even blinked at these numbers.
After all, she came from a wealthy family.
She had never worried about money her entire life.
But ever since she experienced financial struggles, everything had changed.
Hearing such high prices now made her frown.
“Lin Yang, maybe we should choose a cheaper option,” she whispered, tugging at his sleeve.
“We’ll go with the 8,888 package per table.”
“For five tables in total.”
“No problem, sir. Would you like to select the dishes in advance, or would you prefer the chef’s recommendations?”
The restaurant staff remained professional and attentive.
However, Shu Mengyao was already feeling uncomfortable.
Even though the place wasn’t crowded, there were still people coming and going.
She didn’t like such environments.
If Lin Yang weren’t there, she would have already bolted.
“Let the chef decide.”
Sensing her unease, Lin Yang quickly paid the bill and led her outside.
“That was way too sweet.”
Sobs “I feel full just from watching them.”
As the staff watched them leave, they couldn’t help but sigh.
How could such a perfectly matched couple exist?
Damn it.
All the good men are already taken!!
“Lin Yang, thank you.”
The moment they stepped out of the restaurant, Shu Mengyao finally felt relieved.
She knew Lin Yang had rushed things for her sake.
“Silly, why are you thanking me?”
Lin Yang ruffled her hair affectionately, his voice so gentle it was practically dripping with warmth.
Shu Mengyao beamed, staying close to him, feeling blissful.
As they walked, they passed by a pet store.
The shop’s glass wall revealed a tiny Scottish Fold kitten curled up on a cat tree, meowing at them.
“What an adorable kitten!”
Shu Mengyao loved animals.
Especially fluffy, round ones—she adored them.
Unfortunately, her parents disliked cats and were cleanliness freaks.

Their home couldn’t have a single cat hair in sight.
She had wanted a cat before but eventually gave up.
The thought of persuading her parents felt exhausting.
And she was too socially anxious to go pick out a cat alone.
“Do you want it?”
It was the first time Lin Yang saw Shu Mengyao so eager about something.
She was glued to the glass, unable to look away.
“...Yeah.”
“I really want one!”
She instinctively nodded but quickly realized—
She hadn’t even asked for Lin Yang’s opinion.
She didn’t know if he liked cats or not.
Blurting out her desire so impulsively—
What if Lin Yang didn’t like them?
Would she seem too selfish?
“Actually, it’s not a big deal. I just think it’s cute.”
“Having a cat or not doesn’t really matter.”
Shu Mengyao hurriedly explained, reluctantly tearing her gaze away and pushing the stroller forward.
But then—
Lin Yang suddenly stopped walking.
“Aren’t we heading home?”
She blinked in confusion as she watched him push the stroller straight into the pet store.
She quickly followed.
“Wow, are you two here to get a pet for your babies?”
“This is such a wholesome sight—you both look amazing together.”
“If you find a pet you like, I can give you a discount!”
The shop assistant’s eyes never left Lin Yang from the moment he stepped inside.
Shu Mengyao pouted and instinctively moved closer to him.
She even secretly grabbed his hand—marking her territory.
The assistant remained enthusiastic, introducing various animals to them.
But Lin Yang didn’t even glance at them.
He walked straight to the little Scottish Fold at the corner.
“This kitten is only a month old.”
“It’s usually very wary of people.”
“But it seems to like you two a lot.”
