Upon entering, Lin Xuan directly brought the father and daughter directly inside the restaurant.

As they have strolled along the Dian river for quite some time, it was about dinner time when they reached the place.

Chen Xi was unfamiliar with this kind of high-class restaurant that was only heard of in the 'legends'

This was because he had not been to one before.

However, it was not that they could not afford it, it was more of his and Ying Ying's opinions being the same.

Both of them felt that they should work extremely hard when they were young and not to live life extravagantly just for comfort.

After all, they really did not have much assets.

Hence, every time Chen Xi receives his salary, Ying Ying will deduct a large amount from it while claiming that it is use to buy a house.

It was solely this reason that despite being together for so long, Chen Xi had never brought Ying Ying to any expensive places.

He wanted to create some romantic occasions between them, however, the 'housekeeper' was too strict in collecting money, hence, without any gold vault, he was powerless and incompetent.

In the end, this has became a small regret in Chen Xi's heart.

It was either Lin Xuan was extremely familiar with this place or perhaps she saw Chen Xi unaccustomed to this place, hence, she immediately got a Tasting-Menu and considerately ordered a few dishes for Chen Xi.

However, the little kiddo could not be bothered about all that.

She sat beside Lin Xuan. When she saw Lin Xuan holding a menu, she reached out her hand and pointed at the menu, "This, I want this, and that…"

Those who did not know her might actually thought that she really knew french cuisine. In reality, however, the little kiddo could not even recognize more than a few chinese characters.

Moreover, there were no pictures on the menu. Hence, she was simply playing around and blindly ordering. Who knows where she learnt it from.

After she finished ordering, Lin Xuan teased the little kiddo while she casually asked, "Do you have any plans now?"

"What?" Chen Xi did not understand what Lin Xuan meant.

"Didn't you just return from overseas? Have you found a job? Or fo you want to start a small business?"

Everyone was not the youths that had just graduated, after navigating in the society for so many years, she was able to determine Chen Xi's social status with just a casual glance.

Although the little kiddo was beautiful and cute, her clothes were fairly cheap. It seemed like it was bought from a street stall during the countryside and city merging fair.

Chen Xi was not a materialistic person in the first place, hence, no matter how casual he dressed himself, Lin Xuan did not find it weird.

There was this saying, it goes like this: Girls have to be raised rich while boys can be raised poor.

Under good conditions, the father evidently would not not ill-treat his daughter, hence, there could only be one conclusion.

That was Chen Xi's current condition was indeed not financially well.

"I am still finding…However, looking at my current situation, working from 9 to 5 everyday is not suitable…"

"Then…why don't I lend you some money and you can start a small business? You can open a cafe or a convenience store?"

"There is no need for now. We will talk about it after some time. If that time really comes and I have not found any job yet, I really have to trouble you then."

"Hai, it's fine, there's nothing to trouble over such small matter."

Lin Xuan graciously waved her hand and turned the conversation onto the little kiddo.

Being a smart person, she knows when to stop.

Although she did not know what Chen Xi had went through during the past few years, Lin Xuan still believe that no matter how many times he fall, an outstanding man will always be able to get back up quickly.

… … …

After waiting for a while, an attendant suddenly brought a group of people to their table.

"Xuan Xuan, long time no see. I miss you to death."

The one that spoke was an exquisitely dressed lady adorned in branded apparels.

After seeing Lin Xuan, that lady immediately walked over and hugged Lin Xuan agitatedly from the back.

She was the roommate of Ying Ying and Lin Xuan during their time in the university, Wang Lu.

Although Wang Lu was a bit of a gold digger, her character was still quite wholesome. Hence, Lin Xuan had kept in contact with her.

The tall and slim figure beside her was their last roommate, Fang Lei. She wore a short skirt which highlighted her attractive long legs.

Fang Lei was raised in a distinguished family and grew up around reverent gazes. Hence, when she just entered university, any small matters would cause her to throw a princess temper.

After being imperceptibly influenced by Ying Ying, she gradually lowered herself and became more down to earth.

"Aiyo, handsome Chen, long time no see. You are becoming more like a man!"

Wang Lu acted like a love-struck fool as she jogged beside Chen Xi and exaggeratedly exclaimed.

Chen Xi gave a bitter laugh as he leaned backwards, trying his best to distance himself from her.

"As expected, guys are like wine, it only tastes good as it gets older. Tsk tsk"

Wang Lu said with so much exaggeration, it was as if she had no regards to her image.

"Enough, Lu Lu, stop teasing him. There is a child here."

Lin Xuan protested coquettishly as she pulled on Wand Lu's arms, saving Chen Xi from her grasp.

During their time in university, Wang Lu often teased Chen Xi like this in front of Ying Ying.

After so many years, Chen Xi still have that proper look, hence, Wang Lu could not help but tease him.

"Ai, is this Ying Ying's child? So cute! Come, let me squeeze."

"Stop fooling around, it's such a rare occasion coming to a one Michelin star restaurant."

Lin Xuan gently patted away Wang Lu's hand and said with a face with distaste.

After saying that, Lin Xuan pulled on Fang Lei who was still standing at the side and said, "Lei Lei quickly sit. Let's ignore this crazy old woman."

Fang Lei was long used to Wang Lu's character, hence, she was not surprised to see Wang Lu's lowly actions.

What was even stranger was that Fang Lei's relationship with Wang Lu was better than hers and Lin Xuan.

They would often drink a cup of tea in the afternoon together, hence, Lin Xuan still could not figure out how a goddess could be on such good terms with a lunatic.

After Fang Lei had sat down, Lin Xuan then carried the little kiddo, preparing to introduce the 2 big sis to her.

However, Wang Lu suddenly patted her hand, indicating her to look behind.

Lin Xuan looked back and happened to see a man standing at a distance.

That man was continuously monitoring the situation at the table. When he saw Lin Xuan turning her head, he immediately waved at her.

"Why is he here?!"

When she recognized his appearance, Lin Xuan immediately turned back and stared at Wang Lu dead in the eye, she sternly asked, "Lu Lu, how dare you sell me out?"

"Pei pei pei, what sell you out, so awful…"

Hearing that, Wang Lu waved her hand and quickly explained, "You know my husband, he does not have much capability, and now, he is working for that guy. That day when you call me, my husband heard it and decided to tell his boss. I declare that this has nothing to do with me…"

"You still dare to say it's none of your business. I don't believe that your husband can hear the exact time and venue!"

Lin Xuan angrily glared at Wang Lu. It was evident that she was not satisfied with such a poor excuse.

"Aiya, Xuan Xuan, you are not young anymore. You are near 30 already and you have never even dated before. Li Xiu Wen has chase you for about 5 to 6 years? He has his own company and he is really rich and even has connections. Moreover, he is deeply in love with you…To be honest, just consider it?"

"If you like him so much, why don't you divorce your husband and I will matchmake you two?"

A single sentence from Lin Xuan had caused her unable to refute.

Hence, Wang Lu could only wave towards Li Xiu Wen, indicating him to find his own seat.

She then relentlessly comforted Lin Xuan, attempting to soothe the raging beast.

Chen Xi solemnly glanced at his old schoolmates.
