Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

Chapter 67: Surprises Everywhere

When Lu Manman arrived at the commercial building, it was already past six.

Gu Xin had finished her shopping already and was waiting for her at the restaurant’s entrance. Seeing her arrive, she whined. “Miss, could you possibly walk slower!”

“I just got back from the Lu family’s main household. This is my limit.” Lu Manman explained as she entered the dining room with Gu Xin.

The environment in the dining room was nice. There was a huge balcony with glass panels all around. One could look up at the stars in the sky and down at the colorful lights of Wen City. It was gorgeous.

The two of them were led by an attendant to a table by a floor-to-ceiling window. At this point, the evening lights were still on, and the scenery of Wen City was beginning to appear.

“Miss, would you like to dine in?” the attendant asked politely.

“Mm-hm,” Gu Xin said as she put down her shopping bags.

The attendant respectfully handed her the menu.

Gu Xin browsed through the documents casually and suddenly stopped in her tracks. She looked up at Lu Manman and smiled deviously. “You actually have the ‘Lu Manman is Yuanxiu’s’ dish?”

Lu Manman eyed Gu Xin with disgust.

What was there to tease!

Just when both of them thought that this was just an ordinary dish in the restaurant, the attendant smiled and said, “Yes, but only Miss Lu Manman can enjoy this dish.”

“What?!” Gu Xin’s eyes widened. She was about to open the next page when she realized something.

“If Miss Lu Manman needs this, I will get the chef to prepare it for you,” the attendant said to Lu Manman with a nice smile.

Even though she knew that everything was just for show, Mo Yuanxiu had gone so far… Could she really say that she couldn’t take it?!

Gu Xin, on the other hand, was intrigued. As if she wasn’t worried about the situation being blown out of proportion, she said, “We want this dish.”

“Gu Xin.” Lu Manman furrowed her brows.

“What’s wrong with that? I would like to see what Mo Yuanxiu is going to do,” Gu Xin said to the attendant. “I want to order a serving of ‘Lu Manman is Yuanxiu’s’ dish and a set meal for best friends. Open the bottle of red wine that I kept here last time.”

“Yes, Miss Gu. Please hold on for a moment.” The attendant left respectfully.

Gu Xin looked in the direction of the attendant and then smiled deviously at Lu Manman. “Do you think Mo Yuanxiu will appear out of thin air?”

Lu Manman drank her lemonade and glanced at Gu Xin.

“You’re actually looking forward to it, aren’t you?” Gu Xin asked.

Lu Manman could not understand it. She was already thirty! Why was she still so childish?!

Oh, right!

She was thirty, and Gu Xin was only twenty-three.

She could not hold it against her.

Ten minutes passed.

Gu Xin was getting bored waiting when the lights in the cafe went off.

Everyone gasped in shock. The next moment, the glass above their heads that was originally transparent began to glow with a faint blue light. The light was barely visible, and the vastness of the universe was revealed.

At that moment, a beam of yellow light came from afar, and a man was pushing some dishes onto the dining table.

Lu Manman’s eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips for some reason.

Gu Xin looked at her and then at the man. “Mo Yuanxiu really appeared out of thin air!”

Lu Manman was in a daze as she looked down.

Mo Yuanxiu walked toward them and stopped in his tracks.

Gu Xin looked at him with interest and then at Lu Manman. She said in her nice voice, “Miss Lu, your order.”

Lu Manman looked up slightly. The dim light made everything seem so peaceful and nice.

Mo Yuanxiu was in a black suit. His figure was upright, and his facial features were distinct and beautiful.

Gu Xin rested her chin on her hands as she looked at the two of them. For a moment, she felt that Mo Yuanxiu was more compatible with Lu Manman than Wen Yun was… However, not too long ago, she had felt that Wen Yun and Manman were a match made in heaven.

“Aren’t you going to take a look at what it is?” Mo Yuanxiu smiled.

“Not interested.”

“Who says I’m not interested? I’d love to see it,” Gu Xin hurriedly said, giving Lu Manman a dirty look.

Mo Yuanxiu opened the golden cover, and inside was a bowl of egg fried rice.

It did not look good.

Gu Xin scoffed. “I thought it was something amazing. Mo Yuanxiu, you’re so insincere.”

“I tried my best. Getting someone who has never used a spatula to cook such a bowl of egg fried rice is not so easy.” Mo Yuanxiu placed the bowl in front of Lu Manman. “Enjoy.”

With that, he turned around and left.

Gu Xin’s eyes went wide, and she couldn’t say a word for a while.

The lights in the living room were getting brighter.

Gu Xin watched as Mo Yuanxiu left. She turned around and said, “He’s too casual…”

Her voice suddenly stopped.

Gu Xin could see the sweet smile on Lu Manman’s face.

Has she really fallen for Mo Yuanxiu?

But that guy is a scumbag!

“Wa! Wa!” A cry of surprise sounded beside her.

Lu Manman and Gu Xin turned around at the same time to look at the huge building opposite them. A huge heart was lit up by the light, and in the middle of it were words written in English: Marry me!

“Must it be this romantic?” Gu Xin mumbled. “It’s making me jealous.”

Lu Manman did not seem bothered at all. She turned around and looked at the bowl of egg fried rice.

Mo Yuanxiu was too crazy!

This move would probably shock Wen Yun so much that he would break down.

Moreover, that man wouldn’t stoop so low as to beg her. It would seem like he had no dignity at all, so he should be suppressing his anger at this point.

She felt good about it.

She smiled inexplicably.

“You’re smiling so radiantly. Do you really like Mo Yuanxiu?” Gu Xin asked as she turned around.

“It’s just a casual smile.” Lu Manman looked up calmly. “Gu Xin, remember that everything you see now is fake. It’s not worth getting jealous over.”

“What does that mean?”

“Figure it out yourself.”

“Lu Manman…”

“Di An is over there.” Lu Manman suddenly pointed to a corner, interrupting her.
