My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 663 - 026: Details

Mu Lezhu smiled and raised her eyebrows, closing the menu and nodding, "Then let’s go with Boss Lan’s recommendation!"

The waiter nodded with the menu in hand and exited the room. Lan Yuchuan couldn’t help but chuckle at her teasing title.

Sitting beside them, Lu Jingang listened to their little interaction and was displeased, raising his eyebrows slightly. His thin lips pressed into a line, and his dark eyes gradually filled with concentration.

"I heard the Ren Family has already reached out to you?" Lu Jingang picked up his wine glass, took a small sip of red wine, and asked in a cold voice with a calm expression.

Lan Yuchuan nodded, "Yeah, they even came to my restaurant for dinner last night. Given my father’s reputation and my mother’s influence in the entertainment industry, it’s understandable for them to approach me. After all, we’re very close friends, so I’m not surprised. It’s just a bit of a time waste since I never get involved in business matters, so it’s quite useless."

Saying this, he also picked up his wine glass and took a sip, unable to hold back a laugh, "However, I must say your strategy of ’under-the-radar advancement’ is incredibly adept. I’m even starting to wonder if you took a special course in Sun Tzu’s Art of War? You played those old foxes in the Ren Family like a fiddle, and in the end, it’s you who benefits."

"You’re too kind." Lu Jingang lightly tugged at his thin lips, not taking his words to heart at all.

Mu Lezhu listened without commenting. She had heard some things about the Ren Group but wasn’t very clear on the specifics. From what she heard now, it seemed everything was indeed under Lu Jingang’s control, so there was nothing to worry about.

Once all the dishes had arrived, Lan Yuchuan urged Mu Lezhu to try them quickly. Mu Lezhu was indeed feeling a bit hungry, and seeing the dishes with their attractive color, aroma, and taste, her stomach couldn’t help but growl. Without further ado, she picked up her chopsticks and began to taste them.

After taking a few bites, Lan Yuchuan asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, how is it? Are you satisfied with the taste?"

Mu Lezhu smiled contentedly and nodded, "Yes, it’s delicious and quite good. Especially this beef; the texture is particularly nice, somewhat different from the beef I’ve had before."

"Right! If you like it, feel free to come back often."

"Sure, thank you."

Watching the two of them getting along so naturally, Lu Jingang’s expression suddenly turned a bit unpleasant. He didn’t rush to eat, and his gaze coldly swept over them before withdrawing.

"Aren’t you going to eat?" Mu Lezhu noticed that he hadn’t moved his chopsticks and, while eating, turned her head to look at Lu Jingang holding his wine glass and asked, "Do you plan on just drinking without eating? Aren’t you hungry?"

Lu Jingang heard her and glanced at her again before putting down the wine glass and picking up his chopsticks to taste the food.

Lan Yuchuan noticed this detail, raised an eyebrow, and gave Lu Jingang a deep look, his mouth slightly curving up. After knowing Lu Jingang for so many years, he had never seen him respond particularly to any woman’s words.

Seeing that he had already picked up his chopsticks to eat, Mu Lezhu didn’t say anything more. It was perhaps too natural, and she didn’t notice this detail or think further, continuing to eat on her own.

"Are you busy this afternoon? Want to go to the airport with me to pick up LiLi?" Midway through eating, Lan Yuchuan looked at Lu Jingang and asked.

"LiLi is coming back this afternoon?"

"Yes, arriving at three."

"I can’t, I need to go to the hospital."
