Chapter 15 Lu Qixing

"An Ran, why are you here?"

Yu Mingze quickly quickened his pace and walked over.

Zheng Anran looked like she had been waiting in the cold wind for a long time, her lips were a little pale from being frozen.

She raised her delicate face and smiled at Yu Mingze: "Mingze, I told you I would wait for you. Since you were still busy, I came to find you!"

Yu Mingze was surprised and distressed: "You were waiting for me when you called just now? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He quickly took off his suit jacket and put it on her.

Zheng Anran held the warm coat and shook his head: "It won't be long. I am willing to wait for you."

As she expected, Yu Mingze felt very distressed after hearing this.

"Silly girl, if you want me to wait for you, I'll go inside and wait. Why are you standing outside in the cold wind?"

"Mingze, I didn't want others to misunderstand you, so I didn't go in. I was afraid that other people would know about the two of us..."

If it was legitimate, she would rush into the company to find him. Why would she need to stand here in the cold wind for a few minutes and use torture?

That’s right, Zheng Anran didn’t wait in the cold wind for more than an hour. She was not stupid and knew what to do and when to make a man feel sorry for her.

She had been sitting in the coffee shop opposite the company since she finished the phone call. She waited until she saw the lights in Yu Mingze's office went out before she came out to get some cool air and pretended to be quiet.

Zheng Anran did this because she was very anxious and couldn't wait to receive the news of Yu Mingze's divorce tomorrow.

But after listening to Zheng Anran's words, Yu Mingze somehow remembered Song Qingyu's pregnancy. He avoided her eyes and said to Zheng Anran, "Don't wait for me foolishly next time. It's cold outside."

"Let's not talk about this for now. You must be very hungry. Come on, get in the car. I'll take you to dinner!"

Seeing that Yu Mingze did not promise her a divorce as before, Zheng Anran was unhappy, but she still smiled at the person she liked as usual.

"Mingze, you are so nice!"

Yu Mingze drove his sports car and took Zheng Anran to a restaurant that she had long wanted to visit for dinner.

This restaurant specializes in homemade dishes, and all the ingredients are the freshest ones airlifted in that day.

Every bite of food the guests eat is still growing in the soil in the morning and is sent here to be cooked and served to the guests in the evening. The main focus is on freshness.

It is said that the chef hired by the restaurant has been specializing in cooking since his ancestors, and he is the eighth generation successor. The combination of the chef's skills and fresh ingredients makes everyone who has eaten here unforgettable.

Unfortunately, this restaurant only serves a few tables of guests every day, and the prices are not cheap. It is very difficult to dine there normally, and a seat is hard to get.

But even so, restaurant reservations are still waiting for weeks.

Yu Mingze could bring people here to enjoy the food without making a reservation, on the one hand because his last name was Yu, and on the other hand because the restaurant was opened by his good brother, Lu Qixing.

The Lu family has been in politics for generations. When it came to Lu Qixing's generation, he suddenly wanted to open a restaurant and was determined not to follow the path arranged by his parents.

Because Lu Qixing has older brothers and sisters to support him, even if he, the youngest child in the family, does not enter the official career, it will not bring losses to the family.

If he wants to open a restaurant, just go ahead and open one. He has achieved some success so far.

"Master, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

When Lu Qixing saw Yu Mingze, he laughed and strode towards him with his arms open. Yu Mingze also laughed.

The two hugged each other warmly.

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"Yeah, not bad."

"You've gotten married, but you haven't attended our gatherings for a long time. Next time we call you, you must come!"

"Okay, sure!"

Lu Qixing hasn't married yet, and he always jokes in front of a group of friends that Yu Mingze will be tied up at home and have no freedom if he gets married too early. He doesn't want this to happen.

At first, Yu Mingze's wedding was very low-key, and only relatives and friends were invited to attend. As the best man, Lu Qixing had of course met Yu Mingze's new wife.

When Lu Qixing first received the message from Yu Mingze, he thought he was going to bring his wife to dinner, but now it seems that is not the case.

Who is the woman standing next to Mingze?

Lu Qixing just felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

"Hey, who is this?"

Yu Mingze extended his hand and introduced: "This is An Ran, you have met her before."

Just now, Lu Qixing mentioned that Yu Mingze was getting married, which made Zheng Anran a little upset. She suppressed her inner unhappiness and greeted him with a smile: "Hello!"

"Ah, it's An Ran. I haven't seen you for a long time and you've become prettier. I didn't recognize you!"

Lu Qixing thought to himself, didn't these two break up eight hundred years ago? Why did they suddenly come together for dinner now?

After all, they were good brothers who had known each other for many years. Yu Mingze could guess what Lu Qixing was thinking and explained to him, "An Ran just returned to China. I heard that you opened a new store, so I brought her over to try it out."

"Okay, I won't let you down, come in!"

Lu Qixing suppressed his inner doubts and led the two people in with a smile.

The interior of the restaurant is decorated in a very Chinese style, with wooden beams overhead, hollow windows, bamboo branches placed in the aisles, and the design of a small bridge and flowing water in the hall, all of which make people feel relaxed and happy.

Zheng Anran followed Yu Mingze closely, not daring to show any fear.

She discovered that the melodious music lingering in her ears actually came from the hands of three or four cheongsam beauties sitting behind the hollow screen in the hall.

Sure enough, there is a sense of luxury everywhere.

No wonder a certain sister in her circle who had tried the place before would show off in front of them every day, saying how good and unforgettable this place was and that even if you had money you couldn't buy a seat there.

Zheng Anran proudly withdrew his gaze from his surroundings.

She felt that this was not as exaggerated as the younger sisters described, and that it was just that the younger sisters had not seen the world.

She will take a photo later to open their eyes!

Soon, Lu Qixing brought them to a clean wooden table, which was separated by screens on all sides, and next to it were other diners.

After they were seated, the waiter quickly brought them tea.

Lu Qixing picked up the menu and handed it to them, waving his hand and saying, "Order whatever you want to eat, and don't be polite to me!"

"You said it, don't regret it!"

Of course Yu Mingze wouldn't be polite with him. He directly handed the menu to Zheng Anran and let her decide what they would eat tonight.

Although Zheng Anran had made preparations in advance, her pupils still widened in shock when she opened the menu and saw the prices marked on it.

It’s okay, right? A plate of ordinary stir-fried vegetables costs hundreds of dollars. Are these vegetables plated with gold or inlaid with silver?

Yu Mingze seemed to see Zheng Anran's embarrassment and said considerately: "Anran, pick what you want to eat. Don't worry about the price. Someone can give us a discount anyway."

As he said this, he glanced at Lu Qixing.

Lu Qixing immediately showed a painful look on his face and said generously: "Yes, yes, I will give you a discount and guarantee to give you the lowest price, okay?"

But in the end, he also knew that Yu Mingze was not a person who was short of money. He could afford anything no matter how expensive it was. But this Zheng Anran...
