Chapter 312 Inviting the Two of You to Dinner

No wonder they're from a powerful family and royalty; they spend money so extravagantly.

Luo Meier's gaze secretly swept across Lu Youming's face, her mind racing. Although the Marquis of Yi'an's family was a powerful clan, judging from the current situation, the imperial family was truly formidable.

Not only are they wealthy and powerful, but more importantly, they wield immense authority, making them incredibly prestigious in public. Furthermore, the Third Prince has an excellent reputation, so it's no wonder so many noble ladies are drawn to him.

As her thoughts raced, Yan Meier's mind began to shift slightly. Although she was only the daughter of a third-rank official, she was not without the opportunity to marry into the royal family.

Seeing the change in Yan Meier's expression, Gu Shuyan nodded in satisfaction.

"It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature." Yan Meier's ambition to climb the social ladder is indeed the same as in her previous life!

But this is good, so she doesn't have to rack her brains to scheme. As long as Yan Meier has her own ideas, she will definitely find an opportunity to get closer to her without Yan Meier's help.

As for Lu Youming, Gu Shuyan was not worried at all that he wouldn't fall for Yan Meier. She believed that most men in the world would be willing to go through fire and water for such a stunning and charming woman!

"Sister Yan, let's go!"

Gu Shuyan thanked Lu Youming for his "reward," seemingly ignoring Yan Meier's gaze. She turned and winked at the two maids before striding towards the Gu family's carriage.

But Lu Youming had finally found an opportunity, so how could he let them leave so easily?

“Miss Gu, it’s getting late. Would you do me the honor of inviting you both to dinner?”

Lu Youming tried his best to show his best side, but when Gu Shuyan turned around, she didn't show him any flattery because he paid for her.

"No need, Your Highness. I appreciate your kindness, but it's really inconvenient for me to invite Sister Yan here today."

Gu Shuyan refused without hesitation, but Lu Youming then turned his gaze to Yan Meier's face.

Because of the cold wind, Yan Meier's face was flushed, making her look even more adorable than before. Lu Youming's breath hitched, and he quickly turned his head away.

"I wonder if Miss Yan would mind having lunch with me?"

Lu Youming's voice was extremely gentle, and Yan Meier's already flushed face turned even redder, like a ripe apple, making one want to take a bite.

"Your Highness's invitation is too kind, so I humbly accept."

Yan Meier looked at Gu Shuyan apologetically, "Sister Shuyan, the Third Prince's sincerity is evident, please don't refuse because of me."

After Yan Meier finished speaking, she winked at Gu Shuyan, as if she was trying to smooth things over so that Gu Shuyan wouldn't offend Lu Youming.

Gu Shuyan looked back and forth between the two of them, and finally nodded, which was considered her agreement.

After some twists and turns, the three of them returned to the restaurant where Gu Shuyan had first been, but the private room had been moved to another location.

"Please have a seat, ladies."

Lu Youming politely invited the two to sit down, then gestured to the waiter, who had worked at the restaurant for quite some time and knew the habits of these important people.

"Please give your orders, young master."

"Bring out all your signature dishes." After saying that, Lu Youming politely asked Gu Shuyan and Yan Meier for their opinions. Only after they each ordered one dish did the waiter close the door and leave.
