The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Chapter 187: This Terrible Plotline is the Retribution I Deserve for Getting a Promotion

Lu Qingyan merely smiled without saying a word, the softness in his eyes unchanged.

Jiang Nanshu was visiting such a luxurious Chinese restaurant for the first time. Walking through the Chinese-style gate, the path led along a cobblestone walkway lined with clusters of vibrant flowers and guided by servers dressed in traditional Chinese attire. Passing through a crescent-shaped archway, they arrived at the serene private dining room.

A meal at Zhuyun Pavilion was hard to come by, but Lu Qingyan was a valued guest there, never needing a reservation, always with a place reserved for him.

Jiang Nanshu moved ahead, while Lu Qingyan and Yang Jiashu lagged behind.

Yang Jiashu tutted in amazement, "You’ve really changed a lot. How did you end up with her in just a month? Don’t play with her feelings, Yun Chuan cares a lot about Nanshu."

The softness in Lu Qingyan’s eyes faded slowly, replaced by a chilly, clear gaze that revealed no affection. He glanced sideways at Yang Jiashu, "I take relationships very seriously."

Yang Jiashu was at a loss for words.

He didn’t know what to say.

"Just treat her well," Yang Jiashu sighed, "It’s not been easy for her, so pamper her. There’s nothing wrong with a girl being a little spoiled."

Lu Qingyan’s lips twitched slightly.

He said no more.

From the beginning, the one playing games with emotions was Jiang Nanshu.

In this game of prey and hunter, Lu Qingyan wanted to be the hunter.

He was very curious to see what it would be like when Jiang Nanshu fell in love with him.

Yang Jiashu didn’t know whether Lu Qingyan took his words to heart. In their circle, sincerity really wasn’t worth much, and love was but a vassal.

Just like Father Lu and Lu Mother, who started out with a high-profile marriage that turned from sweetness to resentment, perhaps there was love between them at some point, but faced with power and desire, true feelings were worthless.

The group navigated through the promenade and entered a wooden private room adorned with windows carved with orchid patterns. Outside was a lush bamboo forest, with half-open windows bringing in the fresh wood scent, delighting the senses.

The server handed over the menu, where even the cheapest dish cost five thousand.

Lu Qingyan skimmed through it quickly, not finding the crispy pork and roast duck, so he passed the menu to Jiang Nanshu and said, "Order whatever you like, I’ll be back soon after stepping out for a bit."

Jiang Nanshu nodded obediently and without any hesitation, ordered several of Zhuyun Pavilion’s signature dishes, running up a bill of over one hundred thousand.

She was yet to finish when Yang Jiashu watched in astonishment.

Eventually, he politely asked, "Nanshu, can you finish all this?"

Jiang Nanshu then came to her senses and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, I’m wasting Brother Qingyan’s money too extravagantly, he won’t be angry, will he?"

Yang Jiashu was speechless.

Seeing Jiang Nanshu’s guilty face, he suddenly regretted speaking up and cleared his throat lightly, "It’s fine, order away. Even if you want to taste a dish, it’s alright."

"Really?" Jiang Nanshu’s lips slightly pursed.

"Yep, it’s fine."

Meanwhile, Lu Qingyan who had stepped outside found the server and made his requests.

The server was very respectful in front of Lu Qingyan, noted down the roast duck and crispy pork, and then left.

Only then did Lu Qingyan turn back.

Not far away, Yan Yidan, who was lazily leaning against a carved pillar, stopped a passing server. The server became tense upon seeing her and was about to greet her formally when Yan Yidan placed a finger to her lips, "Shh, don’t say a word, call me Miss Yan."

The server was puzzled.

Although he didn’t know what the boss wanted to do, he was sure it was right to listen to her.

He respectfully bowed his head, "Miss Yan."

Yan Yidan tucked a strand of short hair behind her ear, "Who is Lu Qingyan with in the private room?"

The server hesitated, then spoke, "Apart from the Lu Family Crown Prince, there is a very beautiful girl and the young master of the Yang Family."

A brilliant smile spread across Yan Yidan’s face, wow, so they’re all here.

Well, then it was time for her plan.

The first course was the crispy pork, deep-fried to a golden crisp, soft on the inside.
