Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Sweet Heart, Everything Tastes Sweet

Because if he is angry, she will coax him. If she is angry, he will coax her too.

With that, where is the quarrel?

"So what’s the matter with you?"

Chen Jing may not understand her daughter as well as Yan Bo, but she is quite clear about her behavior and habits.

Although the mother and daughter’s relationship is close, ever since the restaurant opened, probably wanting not to disturb her rest, the daughter rarely disturbs her at night. If she does come, it means something is going on.

Zhu Qianying picked up the sugar water and handed it to her, "Baby Boy said he saw an old man looking for you in the restaurant this afternoon, who was it? Could it be Zhu Zhizhou?"

Zhu Qianying wanted to test whether her mother would bring up Luo Yifan on her own, or choose to cover it up.

Chen Jing took the sugar water, but didn’t rush to answer. Instead, she took a spoonful and placed it in her mouth first.

"It’s sweet!"

Zhu Qianying took a taste, it was not sweet at all, so she stared at her mother, thinking, could it be that your heart is sweet, so everything you eat is sweet too?

Zhu Qianying only had one bite before she put down the bowl and looked at her mother, silently waiting for her answer.

Chen Jing, though claiming it was sweet, ate several more spoonfuls before slowly putting down the bowl.

Seeing her mother’s behavior, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but grumble in her heart, it seems that her mother has been led astray by her. Occasionally, she also knows how to keep people guessing.

Chen Jing put down the bowl, raised her eyebrows and looked at her daughter, "What did Baby Boy say?"

Zhu Qianying shook her head, "He just said he saw an old man, nothing else. He’s a brat, what does he know?"

The subtext of Zhu Qianying’s words, "Baby Boy is a brat and doesn’t know anything, but I’m not a brat, I understand everything. Mom, you better not lie to me!"

Chen Jing lowered her eyes, seemingly considering whether or not to tell her daughter the truth.

After a while, Chen Jing managed to look up at her daughter and asked back, "So what do you know?"

Clearly, she had understood Zhu Qianying’s hint.

Zhu Qianying continued to play dumb, "Mom, what would I know? With so much happening lately, I’m just worried that Zhu Zhizhou, the old bastard, is troubling you again."

But speaking of it, Yan Bo’s subordinates were quite responsible. Anyway, it had been some time since the restaurant opened, and she’d never seen anyone from the Zhu family coming to make a fuss.

Zhu Qianying didn’t think the people of the Zhu family would be so conscious or kind-hearted. The fact that they didn’t come to make trouble was probably just because someone stopped them secretly.

However, Zhu Qianying clearly understood this and felt there was no need to mention it to her mother.

After all, for her mother, Zhu Zhizhou is a long nightmare in her life. Now that she’s woken up from the dream, there’s no need to touch upon it anymore.

"It’s not Zhu Zhizhou, it’s Mr. Luo."

"Mr. Luo?" This time, it was Zhu Qianying’s turn to raise her eyebrows.

She was going to pretend to be confused all the way through. Chen Jing was apparently not in the mood to dispute with her daughter, so she nodded honestly.

"Yes, it’s the Mr. Luo that Sister Tong introduced to me."

"Oh...it’s him!" Zhu Qianying feigned a sudden realization.

"Yes, it’s him, not Zhu Zhizhou!"

With a curious expression, Zhu Qianying leaned in and asked, "So, you’re still in touch with him?"

If it weren’t for Bai Shao mentioning the previous incident when Luo Yifan visited the restaurant, Zhu Qianying wouldn’t have known at all.

So at this point, she was still pretending not to know.

"No, he just happened to be in this area and made a reservation with some friends to eat at our shop. That’s all."

Chen Jing’s expression was very calm, it didn’t sound like she was lying.

"He booked a table?"

"No, his friend had already booked it. He was invited as a guest, it was purely coincidental."

Chen Jing still looked honest. At this point, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but doubt whether she had worried and inquired needlessly all night.

Zhu Qianying always cared about her mother’s affairs.

The next day at noon, Zhu Qianying used the excuse of feeling claustrophobic for a few days and wanting to go to the restaurant for some air to have the driver take her to the restaurant.

Then, she secretly asked a waitress named Xiao Ya about Luo Yifan’s two visits to the restaurant.

Moreover, just as Chen Jing said, Luo Yifan was only visiting their restaurant as a guest invited by other guests and not on purpose to see Chen Jing.

After listening, Zhu Qianying felt a strange sense of relief, but also a bit disappointed.

Jeez, a potential "stepfather" candidate finally appeared, and he seemed to have very good credentials. But after clearing things up, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Basically, there is no room for her to fantasize.

Zhu Qianying was looking blankly at the computer screen when customers came in and Xiao Ya hurried to greet them.

"Hello sir, how many?"

"I’m here to see your boss lady!"

"Ah! Mr. Luo, hello!"

Zhu Qianying, who was still in a daze, was quickly pulled back to reality by Xiao Ya’s shout of "Mr. Luo".

She quickly looked up towards the entrance.

This Mr. Luo looked similar to the pictures she had seen on the computer.

However, today he was dressed casually which made him seem even younger. If you said he was in his mid-forties or even early forties, people would definitely believe it.

If it wasn’t for his slightly grey temples and that she had seen his profile before, saying that he was in his fifties, even Zhu Qianying wouldn’t believe it.

At this moment, Zhu Qianying had completely overturned the answers she had received from her mother last night and the conclusions she had just drawn. She quickly walked up to Luo Yifan, extended her hand, and introduced herself with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Luo, my name is Zhu Qianying!"

Luo Yifan quickly extended his hand to lightly shake hers, "Hello, Xiao Yu has mentioned you. I didn’t expect to meet you here."

Zhu Qianying led him into the restaurant and seated him at the table where they usually ate.

Luo Yifan smiled, accepted the tea from Zhu Qianying, said "Thank you!" and then asked, "May I call you Ying Zi?"

Zhu Qianying quickly nodded her head, "Of course, it’s fine. After all, I’m the younger one!"

With that, Zhu Qianying positioned herself as Chen Jing’s daughter.

"When I had dinner with Tong and your mom last time, they kept talking about you. Now that I see you, you’re indeed as they said, beautiful and talented."

"Thank you, Mr. Luo!" While Zhu Qianying thanked him aloud, she secretly gave him a high score of ninety for his polite manners and appropriate conversation.

He was courteous and proper, and knew how to speak and act appropriately. Both his words and behavior exuded a sense of calm and gentleness.

He didn’t have the aggressive aura that successful men like Yan Bo and Ji Rui have.

Zhu Qianying was very satisfied with this aspect of Luo Yifan.

Of course, this is under the standard of assessing a potential "stepfather". As for whether he is or not, you’ll have to wait and see. At least for this first round, Mr. Luo has passed.
