Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 774: Chapter 787: The Lu Family’s Industry

”Don’t worry, you should trust Instructor Mu’s abilities,” Lu Yi reassured, standing up. ”Let’s go, today is my treat. Order whatever you like.”

”Ha, that’s the spirit of the eldest son of the Lu Family. I really like your boldness, Young Master Lu,” Xiao Xiao said with a laugh. ”I think we should pick a place that reflects your status. How about we go for some Western food?”

”Xiao Xiao, I don’t like the way you put that. Why is it that only a high-end Western restaurant can reflect Young Master Lu’s status? Do you mean to say that eating with me doesn’t require a place that reflects status?” An Ran couldn’t resist joining in the fun after hearing Xiao Xiao teasing Lu Yi.

After being enlightened by Lu Yi, An Ran also figured things out. She should trust Mu Xingfeng. Since she didn’t care about the engagement in the first place, she shouldn’t be concerned about it now. She decided to wait in Nan’an for a couple more days. If Mu Xingfeng hadn’t returned by then, she would head back to the Imperial City to attend her elder sister’s wedding.

”Alright, I almost forgot we have a major shareholder among us. Both of you have status. Let me, a minor player, lead the way for you two masters. Please, follow me.”

The three of them laughed and joked as they left the school.

There was a Western restaurant near the school. Although not as luxurious as Victoria Restaurant, it was still elegantly decorated and had a sophisticated atmosphere.

Unbeknownst to An Ran and Xiao Xiao, this restaurant was also part of the Lu Family’s business.

The Lu Family primarily operated in the food and hospitality industry. More than half of the high-end restaurants and five-star hotels in Nan’an City were owned by the Lu Family.

Laughing and chatting, they entered the restaurant. As soon as the manager saw Lu Yi, he immediately walked over and bowed respectfully. Before he could address him as Young Master, he received a subtle glance from Lu Yi.

An Ran and Xiao Xiao were Lu Yi’s only friends outside of his social circle. He knew that their friendship was genuine and not based on the interests that people in his circle usually cared about. They liked him simply because they got along well.

And the friendship he had with them was something he deeply valued.

He didn’t want his status to become a burden for them. He just wanted to enjoy the kind of feelings ordinary classmates shared.

The manager quickly understood Lu Yi’s intent and, straightening up, said, ”Welcome, please come in.”

He personally led the three of them into the restaurant, choosing a booth by the window. After they were seated, he personally went to fetch the menus.

Watching the middle-aged man bustling about, Xiao Xiao whispered while leaning on the table, ”The service here is really good. I think the person leading us is the manager.”

She pointed to the position on her chest.

”Do managers not have chests?” An Ran asked with a smirk.

Xiao Xiao slapped An Ran lightly, ”Get lost. I was talking about the little badge on his chest, who mentioned anything about chests?”

The manager, carrying the menus, hadn’t even reached the table when he heard a girl pointing to her chest and discussing the topic. He couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

People say that the eldest young master lives a disciplined and pure life. While the other young lords in Nan’an City of his age were surrounded by women, their eldest young master neither had any partners nor had ever had a proper girlfriend.

Unexpectedly, today he brought two girls and they were discussing such daring topics.

Though curious, he didn’t dare to look at the two girls too closely. He handed the menu respectfully to Lu Yi with both hands, ”Sir, please order.”

Lu Yi handed the menu to Xiao Xiao, ”See what you want to eat.”
