Chen Mengchu nodded and walked directly into the restaurant.
As soon as they entered, the waiter greeted them warmly.
"Two of you, huh?"
"Yes, find a quiet place."
Knowing that Lu Jingxiao didn't like noisy environments, he asked the waiter to find a quiet place.
The waiter took the two of them to a window seat, which was the only one with a partition and was relatively quiet.
The two of them sat down under the guidance of the waiter.
"Take a look at the menu, please."
After the waiter put down the menu, he went to prepare disposable tableware for the two people.
Seeing Lu Jingxiao looking a little awkward, Chen Mengchu asked, "Mr. Lu, are you not used to it?"
Lu Jingxiao didn't want to hide it from her, so he told her the truth, "It's true that I'm not used to it, but I can try."
Although he is not used to it, he is not a mysophobia, so he can give it a try.
After all, the person opposite her is her.
Not to mention that this is a private restaurant, even if it was a snack stand, he would accompany her there.
Looking at Lu Jingxiao's expression, Chen Mengchu's mouth corners curved into a beautiful arc.
Chen Mengchu pushed the menu in front of Lu Jingxiao.
"See what you like?"
Lu Jingxiao didn't take the menu but pushed it over and said, "Just order."
Seeing the menu that Lu Jingxiao pushed over, Chen Mengchu didn't refuse anymore. If this continued, neither of them would be able to eat.
Chen Mengchu simply picked up the menu and started ordering.
"Waiter, come and take your order."
"good."
The waiter came over and took out the menu and started writing the dishes.
This was the first time Shen Mengchu had seen a handwritten menu at this time, which was a bit unexpected.
But... this seems to bring people back to the old days, when customers ordered dishes and waiters wrote down the names of the dishes. This way is quite nostalgic.
Chen Mengchu smiled, continued to look through the menu and started ordering.
"Steamed sea bass, salt and pepper shrimp, stir-fried broccoli, dry pot beef, yam and black fungus, corn soup, and two bowls of rice."
After ordering, I returned the menu to the waiter.
"No ginger, by the way."
“No spicy food.”
The two spoke almost at the same time.
One doesn't want ginger, and the other doesn't want spicy food.
But what you said was something that the other person didn't like.
They remember each other's likes and dislikes.
That's why they spoke at the same time.
After the words were spoken, the two smiled at each other.
The waiter made a note on the menu and said politely, "Please wait a moment, the dishes will be served."
"Do you need anything else?"
"Two glasses of orange juice will do."
Chen Mengchu continued.
The waiter nodded and left with the menu.
A few minutes later.
The waiter brought up two glasses of orange juice.
"Enjoy your meal, both of you."
"Thank you." Chen Mengchu nodded and thanked him.
"There shouldn't be anything Mr. Lu doesn't like, right?" Chen Mengchu asked Lu Jingxiao deliberately, but in fact, she had already known what he wanted to eat and what he didn't want to eat.
"Mrs. Lu knows me very well, so... no."
Lu Jingxiao's words were full of tenderness, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was full of love.
"When did Mrs. Lu know me so well?" Lu Jingxiao asked knowingly.
But he wanted to get the answer he wanted from Shen Mengchu.
Chen Mengchu shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "After all, I've lived here for so long, it shouldn't be too difficult to understand a little bit, right?"
Hearing her words, a hint of loss flashed across Lu Jingxiao's eyes.
But he soon understood.
Doesn't this prove that she doesn't hate herself?
If so, will she still care about herself?
Lu Jingxiao adjusted his mood, and the love in his eyes became stronger and stronger. "Thank you, Mrs. Lu."
"Mrs. Lu, thank you."
Lu Jingxiao spoke sincerely, and the smile on his lips was no longer concealed.
"You're welcome...Mr. Lu."
Chen Mengchu didn't say anything else, but turned to look out the window.
From this position, you can just see people going to and from get off work outside. They wander around in every corner. Some are in professional attire, some are in casual clothes, some are dressed brightly and carry brand-name bags, but some continue to watch with a bun in one hand and a document in the other.
Everyone is working hard towards their own goal.
"Lu Jingxiao, isn't everyone's starting point different?"
Chen Mengchu asked Lu Jingxiao, feeling quite emotional.
Just like Lu Jingxiao, he has been living a life of luxury since birth and never has to worry about food and clothing.
But some people are born poor and have to think twice before buying anything.
Seeing what Chen Mengchu was thinking, Lu Jingxiao did not tell her that she was overthinking it, but explained patiently.
"Everyone's starting point is different, but the direction of our efforts is the same. We all hope to develop in a positive direction and pursue what we love.
While these things have empowered us, they have also made us more aware of the intrigues of the business world.”
Maybe everyone’s heart is different.
“They envy our background.
And we envy their freedom.”
"If we're lucky, we can marry the person we like. If we're unlucky, we'll be the bargaining chips to maintain our business."
He believed that Chen Mengchu would understand these words.
After all, she was also the treasure of the Shen family a few years ago.
Lu Jingxiao's words made Chen Mengchu feel a lot.
She nodded.
"Let's eat, the food is here."
While the two people were talking, two or three dishes had already been served on the table.
