"Yes, there is, but..." But eting Professor Luo made her feel uneasy, unsure if he knew about their relationship.
"Mu Chenxi, what are you afraid of? I’m here," Luo Shangqing comforted. "My dad has booked a room at the Xiangshan Club. I’ll go down early to et you."
It seed he had sothing to deal with on his side, and after saying this, he said goodbye to her.
Mu Chenxi sighed, thinking maybe Professor Luo just wants to invite my dad for a work lunch, perhaps my relationship with Luo Shangqing has nothing to do with it. The more she thought about it, the more she convinced herself, feeling much relaxed, reminded that she was just being invited as a family mber, no need to worry too much.
Mu Chenxi put on her new dress, thinking of drawing her eyebrows, but deciding against it after looking at her eyebrow pencil. So, she just tied her hair into a bun with her bare face.
Luo ijuan dressed elegantly in a suit, naturally slender; a touch of makeup added a noble flair. When Mu Kaihua arrived to pick them up, his gaze lingering admiringly on his wife, he comnted, "ijuan, you look beautiful in that outfit, it suits you."
Luo ijuan beca shy from the complint. Although they are an old couple, their affection was evident.
Seeing them hand in hand, Mu Chenxi’s mouth twitched, her parents were flaunting their affection again.
In the car, Mu Kaihua did not elaborate on the purpose of this dinner; even he was unclear why Professor Luo had suddenly invited their whole family for a al.
As the car stopped in front of Xiangshan Club, from a distance, Mu Chenxi saw the man standing at the steps, simply dressed in a black shirt and trousers, not needing much to stand out.
"Isn’t that your teacher?" Luo ijuan, with sharp eyes, remarked; Luo Shangqing was just too conspicuous.
Mu Chenxi leaned on the car window, smiling, and he seed to see her too, briefly curving his lips.
"Uncle Mu." As soon as Mu Kaihua stepped out of the car, Luo Shangqing appeared in front of them, "My dad is already here, waiting for you and aunty."
Mu Kaihua did not expect Luo Shangqing to personally welco them, quite surprised, "Professor Luo is already here? It’s our fault, we are late."
"It’s not late. He felt bored at ho, so he wanted to co here early. Please, go upstairs."
Luo Shangqing also greeted Luo ijuan, and finally, his gaze fell on Mu Chenxi, swiftly sizing her up and discreetly winked at her.
Mu Chenxi was amused by his playful gesture, just about to laugh when Luo ijuan, displeased, tapped her forehead, "Xixi, how impolite can you be, not greeting your teacher properly?"
Mu Chenxi hurriedly greeted with respect: "Hello, Professor Luo."
Luo Shangqing, seeing her serious deanor, couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, yet he replied respectfully, "Hello to you too."
Luo Shangqing led the way, discussing so hospital matters with Mu Kaihua, while Luo ijuan and Mu Chenxi followed behind.
This was Luo ijuan’s first visit to the Xiangshan Club, not that she couldn’t afford it, but at her age, she was no longer trying to follow every trend. Although she had heard of such elite social venues, she never desired to experience them until today, and she was quite happy about it.
"Xixi, why aren’t you excited at all?" Luo ijuan found it odd. The opulence here didn’t surprise Mu Chenxi the slightest, unlike her excitent at five-star hotels where she would gaze around, even forgetting to eat.
How could Mu Chenxi admit that her visits here were casual, since Luo Shangqing was a germaphobe, preferring this place for dining out, even ordering Xiangshan’s takeaway for breakfast. So, whenever she was with him, without asking, she would automatically call and place an order here.
"No, nothing. It’s just too dazzling here, I barely dare to look around," Mu Chenxi said. Just then, a waiter approached her, imdiately greeting respectfully, "Miss Mu..."
Embarrassed, Mu Chenxi quickly grabbed Luo ijuan and walked hurriedly forward, too ashad to look up.
The waiter doubted himself, "Impossible, that’s Miss Mu, why would she say I recognized the wrong person?"
The waiters at Xiangshan were all keen observers; those who accompany Luo Shangqing were esteed guests, so recognizing every person’s face was part of their professional conduct.
"That waiter knows you?"
"Mom, we’re here, get in the elevator." Mu Chenxi quickly pulled Luo ijuan into the elevator while Luo Shangqing, a gentleman, held the door until they were all inside.
