My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 662 - 025:
Upon entering the restaurant, the manager personally greeted them, nodding slightly at Lu Jingang: "President Lu."
"Where is Ah Yu?"
"Young Master is already waiting for you in the private room."
Lu Jingang squinted his eyes, a shadow flickering across his gaze. He walked directly towards the right-side private room area of the restaurant. As he covered some distance, he instinctively turned his head slightly to glance at Mu Lezhu, who had kept pace with him, before reverting his gaze coldly and proceeding to the private room he was most familiar with.
As soon as the door to the private room opened, Lu Jingang’s gaze fell upon a gentle, handsome face enjoying red wine. Lan Yuchuan, sitting inside, raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and upon seeing Lu Jingang, a warm smile appeared on his face: "You’re here." Right after speaking, Mu Lezhu followed behind and entered his view, leaving him slightly surprised, but he then smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is here too, please come in and sit."
Mu Lezhu was also quite surprised, having never expected Lan Yuchuan to be here. She had met him twice before; once in Lu Jingang’s office at Lu Group, when Lu Mu Group was preparing for a merger and still in negotiations, and the second time at their engagement banquet.
She didn’t know Lan Yuchuan well, only knew that he was the second son of the Lan Family. Although the Lan Family wasn’t a business family, their status in Nancheng was not inferior to the Lu Family. The elder of the Lan Family was the former president of the Nancheng Chamber of Commerce, retired for many years but still reputable and held in high regard. The eldest daughter, Lan Qingyu, was a currently appointed special forensic doctor in the Nancheng Criminal Investigation Division’s special group, and Mrs. Lan was a prominent top-tier actress in the entertainment industry.
However, Lan Yuchuan was somewhat different. He had a gentle and elegant personality but had a particular keen interest in culinary arts. This restaurant was opened by him, where he often played the role of head chef. The business was quite good, but he had no intention of opening branches, primarily due to his laid-back attitude, as making money was not his priority, it was just a passion.
Mu Lezhu took a seat next to Lu Jingang, displaying a poised and gracious smile while greeting him. This was also her first time dining with his friends, feeling inexplicably nervous and anxious, with a hint of unease.
"I was wondering why someone so punctual would be late today, over ten minutes late. Turns out sister-in-law was with you, I won’t say anything more on sister-in-law’s account." Lan Yuchuan smiled, poured him a glass of red wine, and then looked at Mu Lezhu: "Sister-in-law, care for a drink?"
Mu Lezhu was at a loss for words. She didn’t actually want to drink, having had quite a bit last night, her head was still buzzing in the morning, and she had barely recovered. But as it was her first time dining with Lan Yuchuan, refusing seemed inappropriate.
Just as she was hesitating, Lu Jingang spoke up: "She won’t drink." Then he raised his hand signaling the waiter at the door: "Bring her the menu of beverages."
Mu Lezhu was quite surprised by his actions. When the waiter handed over the menu, she snapped back to her senses, thanked them, and looked through the menu. She then heard Lan Yuchuan cheerfully say: "Sister-in-law can see what you’d like to drink. Besides the alcohol, our restaurant’s juices are mostly homemade with a very nice taste and flavor. Sister-in-law can try them. I personally recommend the Frozen Fruits Blue Mountain, which is also very popular among our female guests."
