Seeing this, Gu Yunchen, who was standing aside, subconsciously raised his hand and touched his nose, then hurriedly looked at Wu Zhenmin and explained to her in a low voice:

"...The one next to me is my biological mother. However, we just met not long ago, so our relationship...isn't that close."

When he said this, he deliberately emphasized the word "not close".

But his words happened to be heard by Jiang Mianmian, and she immediately became unhappy and glared at Gu Yunchen several times in dissatisfaction.

[What do you mean? You're telling me you're not close to me in front of other people? This is outrageous!]

[Oh my, Gu Yunchen, you are so heartless! I risked my own life to save yours, and what's the result? You actually say you don't want to be close to me?]

[Humph, what an ungrateful, white-eyed wolf!] The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she rolled her eyes at Gu Yunchen several times.

Although Gu Yunchen was still talking to Wu Zhenmin calmly on the surface, he had actually already started to complain madly in his heart:

Hey, you still have the nerve to say that! Back then, in order to save your own life, you wanted to sever the mother-son relationship with me without a second thought.

If this is called 'intimate', then what is 'unintimate'? If it weren't for the Royal Guards protecting your safety today and giving you enough courage and confidence, I'm afraid you would have run away by now!

In this way, the two of them exchanged polite greetings for a while, and then Gu Yunchen prepared to start ordering food.

He handed the menu to Wu Zhenmin without hesitation and said with a smile, "You order first."

Jiang Mianmian, who was sitting beside him, saw this and complained in her heart:

[Tsk tsk tsk… Look at you, you were still saying that she wasn't your true love the other day? Look how natural you act now. When ordering, you just shove the menu in her hands without a word!]

[Look at me, a serious mother. I can't even take a look at the menu, let alone order. I can only sit here and stare helplessly!]

[Alas, it really is true that children who didn't grow up by your side won't be close to you!]

Hearing Jiang Mianmian's complaints, Gu Yunchen gritted his teeth and said silently in his heart: "I will endure it! I will endure it!"

Wu Zhenmin smiled brightly, waved his hand gently, and declined politely:

"Oh, I'm the younger generation, so of course I have to let the elders order first. Auntie, you should order first!"

As she spoke, she gently pushed the menu in her hand and handed it to Jiang Mianmian.

Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel a little proud, muttering to herself, "See? This is what it means to be truly well-behaved and sensible!"

Then, she raised her head and cast a slightly boastful look at Gu Yunchen beside her, as if to signal him to learn more in the future.

However, Gu Yunchen seemed unaware and continued to sit there expressionlessly, completely ignoring Jiang Mianmian's hints.

At this moment, an interesting scene happened, even though there was Gu Yunchen between them.

But Wu Zhenmin stretched her neck without hesitation, with a bright smile on her face, and enthusiastically introduced the various dishes on the menu to Jiang Mianmian.

Not only that, she also politely asked Jiang Mianmian if there was any food that she was not allowed to eat.

Jiang Mianmian tilted her head slightly and answered slowly, "Well... I don't like this one, and I don't like that one either. Also, anything too spicy or too greasy is not a good idea..."

As she spoke, she gestured with her hands. Her coquettish look made people feel that the one treating everyone to dinner today was not someone else, but herself.

Seeing this, Gu Yunchen on the side couldn't help but frown. He couldn't bear to watch it any longer and couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

My dear, have you forgotten why you came here today? Why do you act like a VIP guest?

Jiang Mianmian rolled her eyes at him without any hesitation, muttering to herself: Humph, of course there is no way I could forget!

She remained calm on the surface, just watching Wu Zhenmin so "enthusiastically" introduce the various ingredients and features of the dishes to her one by one.

Jiang Mianmian suddenly blinked, a curious look on her face, and asked doubtfully: "Oh, I didn't expect you to know so much. Do you come here often?

Did you come here alone, or did you bring some friends with you? Also, those people who came with you, weren't they all... men? "

Hearing this, Wu Zhenmin was slightly startled at first, then he gently covered his mouth with his hand and let out a clear and sweet laugh like a silver bell:

"Haha, Auntie, why are you so interested in all this? Actually, I've only been here a few times.

In fact, I am a person who is born with a little bit of foodie attribute. No matter where I go, I am always keen to ask around about local food, such as which restaurant has the most delicious signature dishes.

Just recently, I happened to hear that this restaurant’s Yao Chi crab balls and amber honey duck are very famous.

Even some of the other signature dishes are quite outstanding. After trying them a few times, I found that they are indeed worthy of their reputation. Can you try them later?"

Jiang Mianmian nodded thoughtfully, expressing her understanding. Then she pushed the menu back and pointed at it, saying:

"Oh, so that's how it is. Since you understand it so clearly, please tell me about it. Here, like this one, this one, and this one over here..."
