Seeing her like this, Song Qinfang couldn't help but reach out and touch her head. "Abao, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Did someone bully you?"

Xu Rubao didn't want her to worry, so she immediately shook her head. "Auntie, no, I'm just very happy. You're so kind."

"Silly child, we'll go eat when they come down."

Song Qinfang was worried that she was hungry. Although fruit was okay to eat, it was never as good as a meal when she was hungry.

Xu Rubao nodded, and said nothing more.

After a while, Lu Jinglan and Cheng Yiqian also came down.

Five minutes later, Cheng Meilin and Lu Jingheng also came down.

Lu Jingheng took a shower and changed his clothes, then threw the rest of the clothes directly into the trash can.

Lu Jingheng glanced around the living room. Xu Rubao and Lanlan were sitting together, chatting and laughing.

He was initially worried that his words might hurt her feelings.

It seems he was overthinking it.

She doesn't look unhappy at all right now.

Just now, she was so eager to switch rooms with Cheng Meilin, clearly wanting to get away from him.

Is she in such a hurry to move to the third floor because she's afraid Cheng Yiqian will misunderstand?

Xu Rubao wouldn't speak to him first, and Lu Jingheng also ignored her.

Once everyone was present, Madam Lu led her entourage to the private room in the restaurant.

We need to eat a full meal first before we can have any fun in the afternoon.

Upon entering the private room, Xu Rubao sat next to Madam Cheng, and Cheng Meilin, seeing this, sat next to her as well.

As a result, Lu Jingheng happened to be sitting right next to her.

Cheng Meilin could tell that Lu Jingheng was angry, and although Xu Rubao's face showed no sign of distress, she hadn't said a single word to Lu Jingheng the entire way.

They didn't even glance at each other once.

This is also a good opportunity for her.

Seeing that their relationship didn't seem very deep, she refused to believe she didn't have a chance.

Moreover, she was confident that she would be better than Xu Rubao and more suitable for Lu Jingheng.

These opportunities, often, are created by people.

She is, after all, the third young lady of the Cheng family. With her father and grandmother backing her up, she is no less than other young ladies from wealthy families in Beijing.

At the dining table, Xu Rubao ate diligently; the dishes were all quite good.

However, she preferred the red bean, lotus seed, and lily bulb sweet soup, and ate two small bowls in one go.

It tastes sweet but not too sweet, and it makes you feel happy.

Seeing that she seemed to really like the sweet soup, Song Qinfang silently made a mental note of it.

If Abao ever goes to Beijing, I will definitely tell the family chef to prepare this for her.

Xu Rubao is someone who never skimps on his stomach; only those who have experienced hunger know the value of food.

Moreover, she felt more comfortable after eating.

Lu Jingheng was surprised to see that she still had such a good appetite, like a pig.

But for him, nothing tasted good.

Cheng Meilin, standing to the side, served him a bowl of soup. "Brother Jingheng, you don't seem to have much of an appetite. This soup is sweet and refreshing, so drink some more."

Under normal circumstances, Lu Jingheng would not eat food that others offered to him.

This soup is acceptable, though.

He couldn't help but glance at Xu Rubao sitting to the side, where she was eating with great relish.

"Meilin, thank you. You should eat more too."

Lu Jingheng didn't stand on ceremony, wondering to himself, "Will that idiot get jealous?"

But it seems he was overthinking it; Cheng Meilin had clung to her before, and she hadn't been jealous at all.
