Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow at what Lu Yunque said.
"He’s probably in C City on business, right? With President Li’s connections, you’re telling me no one invited him to dinner?"
Either way, Yun Zijin didn’t believe a word of it.
Of course, Lu Yunque had already said as much to Li Yuexing, but the man insisted he had no invitations, and it wasn’t like Lu Yunque could call around to verify.
"He said he didn’t."
"Alright then, let’s call the server back and add a few more dishes."
When Yun Zijin had ordered, she’d gotten enough for nine people. But with Li Yuexing coming, that would make ten, and it wouldn’t be enough without ordering more.
Lu Yunque nodded. They definitely needed more.
"Just add another serving of everything we already ordered."
Since Li Yuexing and Lu Yunque were close, Yun Zijin did as he suggested.
She pressed the service bell in their private room and waited for a server to come over so they could add to their order.
"I’ll send him our location."
Lu Yunque took out his phone and sent the location to Li Yuexing.
Li Yuexing replied almost instantly, but Lu Yunque didn’t message him back.
After all, the location was sent. Whether he came or not was his problem now.
Soon after Yun Zijin pressed the service bell, a server came over, though it wasn’t the one who had shown them to the room and taken their order earlier.
This server looked much more professional than the last one. Their eyes weren’t darting all over the place, which left a good impression on Yun Zijin.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"We have one more person joining us shortly. Could you add another serving of every dish we ordered, please?"
Yun Zijin said.
"Of course, I’ll communicate that to the kitchen. Is there anything else you need?"
"No, that’s all. Go on."
"Alright. If you need anything, just press the service bell."
Yun Zijin nodded, indicating she understood.
Not long after this server left, they returned with their three hot pots and soup bases.
The three pots were placed in a triangular formation. For the time being, Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque shared one pot, while the seven bodyguards shared the other two.
"The soup base still needs to come to a boil, and the dishes you ordered will take a bit more time, so you may have to wait a little."
Yun Zijin waved her hand, signaling that it was fine.
They weren’t in a hurry, anyway.
Over the next little while, servers periodically entered and exited the private room to bring them their ingredients.
Li Yuexing arrived not long after all the food had been served, about thirty minutes after Lu Yunque had sent his location.
"If I’d known you two were also coming to C City, I would’ve bummed a ride on your plane."
When they were on the phone just now, Li Yuexing had found out that Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin had come on Lu Yunque’s private jet.
If you could fly private, no one would want to fly commercial.
"And have you tag along just to be our third wheel the entire way?"
Lu Yunque was getting more and more comfortable in his role as Yun Zijin’s boyfriend.
Aside from not having officially confirmed their boyfriend-girlfriend status, the way they interacted was no different from any other young couple.
Li Yuexing rubbed his nose, then shot Lu Yunque a subtle glance.
’Who would’ve thought? It’s only been a short while, and he’s already managed to snag the position of prospective boyfriend.’
He had to admit, Lu Yunque worked fast. This was a development Li Yuexing hadn’t anticipated at all.
"How could that be? I’m very good at reading the room.
But... how on earth did you two get together?"
The gossipy glint in Li Yuexing’s eyes was completely undisguised.
There was nothing more satisfying than getting the gossip straight from the source.
"My maternal grandmother and Zijin know each other."
