It was Saturday and the weather was great. Jiang Lusheng booked a table at a very high-end private restaurant in the city center early in the morning.
This private restaurant does not accept last-minute customers. If you want to eat there, you have to book a seat and time in advance, and the food will be served directly when you arrive.
This was Lan Shuang's first time here. Looking at the green bricks, black tiles, small bridges and flowing water in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned. For a moment, she even had the illusion of traveling through time.
It’s hard to imagine just looking at this place. This is in the city center and it is really out of tune with the tall, modern and technological buildings around it.
Perhaps this is what is called "finding peace in the midst of noise".
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lan?"
A girl in a light blue cheongsam came over and asked.
"Yes, we were invited by Mr. Jiang." Lan Runqing and the girl said.
The girl immediately smiled and said, "Please come in——"
"Thanks."
Several people were led into a small wooden house. There was no high table, but a low table. Several people took off their shoes and sat around the table.
"Where is Jiang Lusheng?" Lan Shuang was a little surprised. He had made an appointment with them, so why were they all here but he wasn't?
"Sorry I'm late."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light at the door was blocked, and a tall man stood against the light, holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand.
The voice is very gentle and pleasant, with a faint smile, which easily makes people feel good about it.
Lan Shuang, who was obsessed with both voice and looks, immediately forgave him for being late without any principles. It wasn't that long anyway.
When he approached Lan Shuang, he found that this man not only had a nice voice, but also had impeccable looks. He was tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was wearing a casual gray-blue suit. He had the vigor of youth and a sense of steadiness.
He is a person who doesn't seem to have any thorns and does not bring any sense of oppression.
The whole feeling can be described in two words - comfortable.
He looks comfortable and gives people a comfortable feeling.
Lan Shuang had a very good first impression of him.
"It's not too late, Xiao Jiang, you're here, why did you bring a bouquet of roses?"
Su Lan smiled and moved towards Lan Runqing. Lan Shuangting stood up and glanced at Jiang Lusheng. "Humph, that's just his problem. He likes roses and always carries them with him wherever he goes."
Jiang Lusheng smiled innocently, his eyes darting back and forth between Su Lan and Lan Shuang. "Actually, it's not one bouquet, but two. They're for two beautiful ladies. I grew the flowers myself, and if I don't pick them, they'll wither and die. It's better to give them to beauties and realize their value."
Su Lan laughed even more happily. She reached out to take it and said, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
Jiang Lusheng handed the remaining handful to Lan Shuang. "Since this is our first meeting, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Jiang Lusheng, I'm 26 years old. My father and Uncle Lan have a good relationship, and Shuang Ting and I are also friends. If you don't mind, you can treat me as your brother from now on."
Lan Shuangting rolled his eyes behind him without giving any face.
Lan Shuang couldn't help laughing. She reached out to take the flowers and shook hands with Jiang Lusheng with her other hand. "Hello, my name is Lan Shuang. I'm four years younger than you."
The two smiled at each other, with some tacit understanding.
However, Lan Shuang's attention was quickly attracted by the small mole under Jiang Lusheng's left eye, and she was stunned for a moment.
This mole...is in exactly the same spot as Jiang Han's, and is almost the same size.
After realizing this, her heart began to beat rapidly and violently.
Jiang Lusheng noticed her abnormality and moved a little closer: "Huh? What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face? Why are you staring at my face?"
Lan Shuang came back to her senses, retracted her hand and said jokingly: "No, I just think you are very beautiful, especially the little mole under your eye, it is very unique."
Without giving Jiang Lusheng a chance to speak, Lan Shuang held the flower in her arms, lowered her head and smelled it, "Hmm, it smells good."
The scene of the beauty lowering her eyes to smell the flowers was so beautiful. The angle and lighting were just right. Jiang Lusheng wanted to take a picture of this scene with his mobile phone.
But because so many people were watching, he couldn't do anything perverted. He could only look away with regret, "Thank you."
"Please sit down." Lan Runqing waved his hand.
"good."
Jiang Lusheng took off his coat and sat next to Lan Shuangting in a white shirt. Lan Shuang was on the other side. The two of them were neither too far nor too close, intimate but not ambiguous.
After the dishes were served, Jiang Lusheng opened the wine, raised his glass and said to everyone, "I just returned to China not long ago and my career is just starting. Uncle Lan and Shuang Ting have helped me a lot, and I have always remembered them. Today, since I am free, I would like to treat everyone to a meal to show my gratitude."
"You're just too modest, kid. How can your career just start? You're incredibly talented in this area. In two years, you'll definitely have a place in City A's top business district."
Lan Runqing admired Jiang Lusheng very much, and there was light in his eyes when he spoke.
Jiang Lusheng clinked glasses with him without being servile or overbearing, and said with a smile, "Then I'll take advantage of Uncle Lan's good words."
"Hahahaha——" Lan Runqing laughed heartily.
Su Lan took a sip of wine and put down the glass.
Lan Shuangting, however, said with a forced smile, "Other people's children are just good, everything is good. Alas, another day when I doubt that I'm not the biological child."
Jiang Lusheng turned to look at him and asked calmly, "What kind of blow did Shuangting suffer?"
Lan Runqing snorted: "Don't worry about him, he's always adding drama to his own story."
Lan Shuangting drank the wine angrily.
When it was Lan Shuang's turn, Jiang Lusheng saw her raise her glass, shook his head and said, "Girls shouldn't drink. It's not good for your health."
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows: "It's okay to drink less."
"That's still not possible. If the whole family is drunk, there has to be someone sober. Then you have to help us call a taxi."
Jiang Lusheng joked, then rang the bell to call the waitress and asked her to get some freshly squeezed juice. "What kind of juice do Auntie and Xiaoshuang like to drink?"
"I don't drink juice, but it's okay for me to drink a little wine. Give Tiantian orange juice, she likes it."
The more Su Lan looked at Jiang Lusheng, the more satisfied she became. It was really great that he could pay attention to such small details.
"Tiantian?" Jiang Lusheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang put down her wine glass and said generously, "This is my nickname."
Jiang Lusheng paused, and a soft smile appeared in his beautiful and affectionate eyes: "It's quite appropriate and sounds nice."
"Thank you." Lan Shuang lowered her head and ate.
After the orange juice was delivered, Jiang Lusheng placed it between Lan Shuang and himself. Whenever Lan Shuang's cup was almost empty, he would immediately refill it.
Even when talking to Lan Runqing, he could notice it out of the corner of his eye and naturally picked up the glass pot to pour it for Lan Shuang. Lan Shuang was a little embarrassed by his thoughtfulness, but he didn't say much.
His expression and movements were so natural, as if he just wanted to pour her some water.
Lan Runqing saw it clearly, but he was already a little drunk and didn't take it to heart, because Jiang Lusheng looked so upright. He smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang really takes good care of his sister."
