Seeing her father's somewhat displeased expression, she knew she couldn't ask any more questions, or she would only be making a fool of herself.
“Yes, Father. I’ll give it a try.”
She was being so cautious because she wasn't sure if Jian Yixue would give her that favor. But whether it was for her father or for herself, she would do it.
However, it is essential to plan ahead.
Ouyang Si'ang nodded. "Okay, arrange it as soon as possible. If you need any assistance, just ask Uncle Ji."
"I understand, Father."
Ouyang Yunruo said very obediently and sensibly.
Ouyang Si'ang was very satisfied with this. "If there's nothing else, you can go down and see how best to handle this matter."
“Hmm.” Ouyang Yunruo turned and left the study.
Back in her room, Ouyang Yunruo sat at her dressing table, looking at her face in the mirror—a face that could be considered quite beautiful—and felt very satisfied.
If he could look at her a few more times, he might just fall for her too.
Suddenly, she thought of Jian Yixue, a stunning beauty, standing beside the man, and couldn't help but feel jealous.
Compared to her, I seemed somewhat pale in comparison.
But so what? That man was clearly no ordinary person. Everything Jian Yixue possessed was given to her by that man.
During this time, she had already asked someone to investigate Jian Yixue's identity in the capital. She was just someone who had no mother to love her or a father to care for her, someone who had been abandoned since childhood. Apart from her face, what did she have to compete with her?
With such a noble status, he would surely have a better future and development.
The reason he can't see himself now must be because he's been bewitched by the woman's beauty.
When she sees him again, she will definitely bring him to his senses.
Only she is worthy of him.
Thinking of her father's request for her to arrange a meeting with Jian Yixue in her own name, Ouyang Yunru pondered what reason would be appropriate and not easily rejected.
The unpleasantness from before is still fresh in my mind, so what excuse can I come up with now?
Ideally, she should invite both of them over so that she can have a chance to meet him and further develop her plans.
Her mind was filled with the image of that man, making her heart flutter with desire.
This was the first time in her life she had ever fallen in love, and it was love at first sight.
She was determined to have that man.
Suddenly, something occurred to her, and after much thought, she decided that this was the right thing to do.
Ouyang Yunruo picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Uncle Ji, give the order that I want to hold my birthday banquet again."
After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Yunruo got up and wrote an invitation letter by hand, then instructed someone to send it over.
"Remember, you must hand it to her personally."
...
At that time, Jian Yixue followed Ye Mohan to a local specialty restaurant called Xiangfengju. Luxury cars worth tens of millions of yuan were coming and going at the entrance, and the people coming and going were all celebrities or government officials.
This is a favorite private chef restaurant among the local elite, where the food is exquisitely presented, fragrant, and delicious—unmatched by any other restaurant, even Michelin-starred ones. However, it is also extremely expensive, attracting only the most prestigious families and aristocrats.
The culinary skills here are kept secret. The chefs are all elderly, and they usually work there from the moment they start until they retire. As a result, the flavors are relatively consistent and there is no difference between them, which is why they are so popular with wealthy people.
Inside the private room.
Ye Mohan very gentlemanly pulled out a seat for Jian Yixue, and only sat down beside her after she had sat down.
"Young Master Ye," the waiter greeted respectfully, bowing low.
He then handed a black menu to Ye Mohan, saying, "This is today's menu. All the ingredients in our restaurant are air-freighted from coastal cities. From landing to serving, they are absolutely no more than 3 hours old, ensuring they are fresh and delicious."
Ye Mohan took it and handed it to Jian Yixue without even looking at it, saying, "Take a look and see what you want to eat."
He doesn't come to Lancheng often, but sometimes he comes here for work. He had eaten here by chance once and thought it was pretty good.
Therefore, whenever he comes to Lancheng, he often comes here in his spare time.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue took the menu and began to look at it.
She lived in Lancheng for a while, but she usually stayed in the organization and rarely came out, let alone to a place like this where only the rich and powerful go.
As an assassin, she didn't like to expose herself to the light of day, especially since she preferred quiet.
Jian Yixue glanced at the menu, then looked up at Ye Mohan, "Do you come here often?"
"I'll come over when I arrive in Lancheng," Ye Mohan said as he brewed tea for the two of them, answering Jian Yixue's question.
Jian Yixue nodded upon hearing this, "I haven't been here much, so I don't know what the specialties are. You can order, I'm not picky, you can order whatever you like."
He then handed the menu to Ye Mohan.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan did not refuse any longer. He took the menu, glanced at it, and said, "One of everything on the menu."
Xiangfengju is known for its exquisite dishes, and the portions are never large. Since it was Jian Yixue's first time there, she simply ordered all of the dozen or so signature dishes on the menu.
He doesn't lack money; he's happy as long as Xue'er is happy with her food.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue said, "We can't eat that much, can we? Maybe we should order less."
"When it's served, you can see which ones you like to eat, and we'll leave those for you," Ye Mohan explained.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue didn't say anything more.
The dishes were served shortly afterward.
Looking at the exquisite dishes that resembled works of art, Jian Yixue couldn't help but feel delighted, and even her taste buds were whetted with appetite.
Jian Yixue picked out four or five dishes that looked decent and left them, while asking the waiter to remove the rest.
