"I don't like the smell on you." Chu Yue lowered her head and said.
Lu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then raised his sleeves and smelled it. Perhaps he was in the same carriage as Yuan Xueer when he came here, and was deliberately approached by her later, so he was smelling of powder.
"She is the teacher's youngest daughter. She has been arrogant and domineering since she was a child. I usually try to avoid her when I go to the teacher's place. Today, my wife is ill and asked me to come with her. I can't refuse."
Listening to Lu Xinghe's explanation, Chu Yue felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Only those with high authority have the right to refuse. My husband had been in the capital for more than two years, so he must have suffered a lot of grievances, right?
"There is something I have never said in my heart." Chu Yue said softly.
"What words?"
Chu Yue looked up at him, her slightly red eyes filled with determination.
"Although I like my husband-in-law, I can't see the sand in my eyes. I believe in the relationship between two people for a lifetime, but I don't force you to stay together. I only hope that one day, my husband-in-law will tell me when he has feelings for her. I will leave without hesitation and I will never get entangled!"
Lu Xinghe clenched his fists tightly at his side.
This was the first time Chu Yue had said such decisive words to him. When he thought of her saying that she would leave without hesitation, his heart felt empty.
He seemed to never know her well enough.
It turns out that the little girl can rely on him to love him. Once he falls in love with someone else, she will cut off her love and leave without hesitation.
She has her own principles.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Chu Yue with his deep eyes.
"I never thought of betraying you. Even though many people are interested in me now because of the teacher's sake, I always refuse them and would rather spend more time dealing with them."
He took Chu Yue's hand, and the man who had always been confident lowered his eyes slightly at this moment.
"Yueyue, I just feel a little inferior to you now."
Just like today, she was bullied and he couldn't get out.
Chu Yue was slightly stunned and looked at Lu Xinghe in astonishment.
She had always thought of him as a smart, wise man with a big heart, but she never thought that he would also feel inferior.
For no reason, she felt a little distressed in her heart.
In fact, she wasn't angry at all, she was just a little jealous that the woman next to him was approaching him.
Just when Chu Yue was about to say something, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Princess, this is Your Highness."
Ningdong's voice came from outside the carriage.
Chu Yue opened the curtain and saw a carriage lying in the middle of the road in front of her, blocking the way.
The next moment, Qian Yu opened the curtain of the car window and looked at Chu Yue with ebony eyes.
"We didn't eat anything at the banquet. Let's eat something together?"
Chu Yue didn't want to waste too much time in the capital, but she thought that Qian Yu might not have a meal at noon because she was in the limelight for her, so she was able to treat him to a meal.
She smiled.
"My treat?"
"good."
After Qian Yu finished speaking, he lowered the curtain and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage aside so that Chu Yue's carriage could lead the way.
Lu Xinghe looked at Chu Yue who was dealing with people openly and couldn't take his eyes away.
His little girl is really different from before.
Looking into Lu Xinghe's eyes, Chu Yue raised her hand to tuck her hair around her ears.
"What do you always look at me for?"
Lu Xinghe had a slight smile on his face, "It looks good."
Chu Yue glanced at him, "When did your husband learn to speak glibly?"
"The truth was told only to you." Lu Xinghe looked at her and said seriously.
Chu Yue lowered her head with a shy face.
"I do not believe."
Lu Xinghe pursed his lips and smiled, reaching out to rub her head, his eyes full of endearment.
"My little girl has grown up, and I'm afraid it will become harder and harder to deceive her in the future."
Chu Yue snorted with a cute look on her face.
"I knew you were lying to me."
Lu Xinghe smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying nothing more.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Ruyiju. After twenty days of repairs and layout, the restaurant's preparations were in place and the trial operation started today.
After all, it is a newly opened restaurant. It has just started its trial operation and there are not many customers.
Qian Yu got off the carriage and looked at the brand new restaurant, with a slight surprise on his face.
Chu Yue got out of the carriage with the help of Lu Xinghe, looked at Qian Yu behind her, and said with a smile, "Today's trial opening, would you like to be honored by your Highness?"
Qianyu looked at her in surprise.
"your?"
Chu Yue Zhanyan, "One of the bosses."
"Go and taste it."
Chu Yue made a gesture of invitation, "Please."
As soon as he arrived at the door, a waiter came to greet him, "Guest sir, who are you?"
Chu Yue followed the waiter into Ruyiju and "asked shopkeeper Tao to arrange a private room with a quiet environment for us."
The waiter became even more attentive when he heard that Chu Yue recognized their shopkeeper.
"It turns out that I'm an acquaintance of Shopkeeper Tao. Shopkeeper Tao is making arrangements in the kitchen right now. Please follow me upstairs first. We have a total of three private rooms on the third floor of Ruyiju. They are the best in this whole street. ”
"good."
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she led Qian Yu and Lu Xinghe up to the third floor with the waiter and entered one of the private rooms.
Because of the high terrain, standing in the private room on the third floor, you can have a panoramic view of the streets of the capital.
Chu Yue suddenly thought of the painting of a street scene in the capital that Lu Xinghe had sent her shortly after arriving in the capital.
It should also be a view taken from a high place, right?
The waiter asked a few people to sit down.
"What do you guys want to eat?"
Qianyu had eaten at Ruyiju in Nanping Town before, and she might have had fried pork intestines. Thinking of this, Chu Yue spoke.
"A roast goose, small seafood in sauce, grilled oysters, salt-baked shrimps, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, and a side of vinegar-glazed shredded potatoes, and a side of seasonal vegetables."
Qianyu knew that Chu Yue was the owner here, so he didn't stop her from ordering.
The waiter was full of surprise.
"Your guest is so familiar with our Ruyiju's signature dishes. Have you been to our restaurant elsewhere before?"
Ningdong covered her mouth and smiled, wondering how the waiter would look if he knew that the princess was the biggest owner of their restaurant.
At this moment, Tao Zhen, who learned of Chu Yue's arrival, entered the private room.
He came to Chu Yue and bowed to him, "I was making arrangements in the kitchen just now. I didn't know that the princess was here. I hope the princess will forgive me."
The waiter was surprised when he heard this.
"Princess Princess?"
Unexpectedly, on the first day of Ruyiju’s trial opening, a big shot actually showed up.
Chu Yue smiled.
"Today we invited a distinguished guest to Ruyiju to taste the dishes. Shopkeeper Tao asked He Haidong to be more attentive when cooking."
"Okay, the princess and the distinguished guests will wait a moment. I'll go and give you some instructions."
After Tao Zhen went out, Ningdong closed the door of the private room.
Chu Yue looked at Qian Yu.
"I heard that you don't live in the palace?"
"Yes." Qianyu said softly, "I live in Qianfu in the east of the city."
