Chapter 500: Lunch at the Lanqi Family

In the South Wantina Territory, the Wilford family is located at No. 25, Nosma Street, northwest of the Heart Pulse Plaza.

It was already twelve o'clock noon, time for their family to have dinner.

In this spacious and bright first-floor restaurant, the midday sun shines gently into every corner through the shadows of the leaves on the windows.

Occasionally, a breeze blows through the courtyard outside the window, bringing with it the faint fragrance of the garden in the distance.

The long dining table inside the restaurant was covered with a fine linen tablecloth with a few beautifully embroidered flowers. Silver tableware and high-heeled glasses were neatly arranged, and the dishes on the table were gradually being brought in from the kitchen.

The head of the family, Noe Wilford, who was sitting in the main seat, had the same indifferent and majestic expression as usual, but when he saw Lanqi, his eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

What was different today was that there were two more figures sitting at the side of the dining table besides Lanqi.

Miss Tata sat beside him, looking calm and peaceful, with her hands gently folded on her knees.

Although Hyperion, who was sitting further away, was obviously a noble lady, she seemed very reserved at the moment and was unwilling to raise her head.

The three of them sat in a row and didn't communicate much with each other for a long time.

Noe couldn't help but look at the three of them for a moment longer.

This is so intriguing.

Noe had no idea how these three people ended up curled up on the ground that morning. He just thought they were playing with something new.

Noe knows that there may be some generation gap between him and young people.

Lanci and Hyperion were both seventeen years old, and Tata looked no more than twenty-five. It was normal for young people to have some strange ideas, but Noe always felt that the relationship between the three of them was too surreal.

But now they were silent, and Noe didn't feel comfortable asking anything.

Just pretend you know nothing.

It’s not a big deal.

Hans, the butler, and Francine, the maid, were both very professional. They would not spread what was going on at home, nor would they let the funny photos of the three of them entangled together appear in the newspapers of the entire Kingdom of Hutton tomorrow.

While Noe was thinking, the long table was still being served with the food that Lanqi had personally ordered from the kitchen today.

In addition to the colorful seafood platter, including fresh gooseneck barnacles, green trevally and sweet shrimps from the blue sea, each of which was displayed exquisitely, followed by baked rice cooked with black truffles and wild mushrooms from Nanvantina, a steak roasted to a golden surface, tender and juicy, paired with roasted seasonal vegetables and exquisite black garlic sauce, and even the hazelnut chocolate mousse sprinkled with gold foil on the outside, were served in advance, as if Lanqi had told the kitchen that they would eat quickly.

Noe wondered why Lanqi was so active today, as he usually didn't eat much.

"Anyway, welcome Miss Tata and Miss Hyperion to our home."

Noe saw that it was almost time to start lunch, so he said to the two ladies at one side of the long table with apologetic expression,

"I hope you have a good time in Nanwantina. If Lanqi's hospitality is not good enough, I will apologize to you two in advance on behalf of the Wilford family."

"Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Wilford."

Tata nodded in greeting.

Her cool and dignified appearance made her look like a noble queen, which made Noe wonder for a moment whether the door of Lanqi's bedroom had been cast with an illusion magic that "when opened, you will see something impossible."

"Thank you, uncle."

Hyperion was a little slow to react, and came back to her senses. She looked at Noe and said.

Earlier at the Ikerite Health Center, she had thought Lanqi's father was easy to talk to.

It just gets awkward every time I see him.

"Okay, let's start eating. Just treat it like your own home and eat more."

Lanci said in a gentle voice.

He seemed to be comforting Hyperion, and happened to glance at Talia beside him when he said the last few words, as if he had no other intentions.

“…”

Hyperion wanted to say something, but gave up.

Fortunately, Tata can't read minds, otherwise she would occasionally read Lanqi's scattered thoughts, but she pretended not to know, which was really scary.

After the conversation between the few people ended, the table returned to its previous peace, with only the occasional sound of the spoon touching the porcelain plate echoing from time to time in the dining room of the Wilford mansion.

The steward stood quietly by the side, waiting for Lanqi's instructions. There was also a maid wearing a uniform black skirt with a white apron tied around her waist. She moved swiftly and lightly, ensuring that each dish was served without disturbing the guests' meals.

Different from the past.

Lanci was very hospitable during the meal today, with just the right amount of eyesight, always paying attention to the needs of the two ladies, and every time the servants brought new dishes, he would signal with simple gestures to ask them to place the plates closer to Hyperion and Talia, ensuring that they could easily taste every dish.

Dozens of minutes passed in harmony in the restaurant.

The Wilford family finished their lunch, and the servants began to clear the table. Noe sat in the main seat and sipped his tea.

He looked at the two women on Lanci's right with a confused look.

Lanqi was actually right today. He finished all the dishes.

Noe hadn't noticed it just now, but according to the law of conservation of total volume, one of them might seem to be eating slowly and gracefully, but in fact he was eating very fast.

Who was it? Noe was confused but too embarrassed to ask.

If Lanqi marries the lady who loves to eat, the family will have to prepare more food in the future.

Their family is quite wealthy.

Noe thought to himself.

In fact, Noe always felt that there was some possibility between Lanqi and these two girls.

Unexpectedly, Miss Hyperion and Miss Tata knew each other.

What's even more strange is that when the two of them get along, there's no sense of jealousy... So who doesn't want to win? They can't both be losers, so who is the first wife?

But Noe could see that the girls Lanqi knew were all good girls, and compared to Lanqi, they were all decent people, so there was nothing to worry about.

finally.

"What are your plans for the afternoon?"

Noe stopped hesitating, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the three people and asked.

Although the atmosphere was better than before the meal, Noe felt that the three of them still had little communication when sitting together, as if there was a knot in their hearts that could not be untied.

"I'll check on the progress of Lanci's card maker, and then teach Hyperion some new magic."

Talia looked at Noe and answered seriously.

"Oh, okay, please help Miss Tata."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Noe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then quickly thanked him.

He knew that the card-making teacher that Lanqi had asked him for money to hire a long time ago was this Miss Tata.

Less than half a year later, when Noe went to the royal capital, he learned that Ranch had become a quasi-platinum-level card maker. Noe was stunned.

On the one hand, Ranchi himself has a strange talent, and on the other hand, Tata has taught him well.

Putting aside the exaggerated results, the fact that she was able to discipline her bad boy proves that Miss Tata was born to be a famous teacher.

"It's what I should do."

Tata responded politely.

So far.

Noe probably also understood the relationship between Tata, Hyperion and Ranch in the royal capital Ikerit.

Presumably they were always together, with Tata teaching Lanci card making while Hyperion was teaching magic.

However, since the three of them were in a master-disciple relationship, why were they entangled on the ground? Could they really learn from this? When Noe was lost in thought, it seemed that because his puzzled look was too obvious, the three people on the side of the table understood what he was thinking.

Hyperion's cheeks immediately began to turn red and she lowered her head.

Although Tata's expression was still cold, he clenched his hands tightly on his legs.

Lanqi was originally trying to ask the servants to bring some more snacks so that Tata would not be half full, but suddenly he felt the air turned cold and sat still without moving.

For a moment, the table became awkward again. Although no one mentioned what happened in the morning, everyone knew that everyone was thinking about that thing at the moment.

After a long period of silence.

"Let's go to Nanwantina for a walk."

Lanci said,

"Tata, you teach us card making and magic. It will be our daily homework when we return to Ikerit. It's rare to be in Nanwantina Territory these few days, so just enjoy it without distraction."

He added.

Staying in this house any longer, not to mention Tata, Hyperion might really not be able to bear it anymore, so she has to take them out to relax.

After spending more than half a year together and spending almost half of every day together, Lanqi knows Tata and Hyperion very well. Unlike Tata, who can recover his mood after eating, Hyperion is more delicate.

Before Talia and Hyperion could respond.

"Who do you want to go with?"

Noe took a sip of tea and asked Lanci.

In his opinion, when dating a girl, one should be wholeheartedly devoted to her.

Although he felt that he might have asked a little too directly, he felt that both girls wanted to know the answer.

Talia stared at Ranci.

Hyperion was also a little nervous.

"I want to be with them."

Lanqi answered without thinking.

He has innocent eyes.

Just like going on a normal family trip.

"?"

The teacup in Noe's hand paused in the air, a little confused.

At this moment, if Noe asked more questions, it would seem that he was worrying too much.

And Lanqi remains as holy as ever.

Why does this bastard smell like tea? 　Chapter 2 is not finished yet, before 9:30
