Chapter 492: Chapter 492: The Strange Lunch Box

Lin Chen and Huang Mingxi nodded in agreement.

Their postures straightened considerably.

Indeed, doing business requires brains, not beauty.

Song Yunuan discovered that Lin Chen was able to extrapolate from one idea to others, quickly integrating and understanding any concept she presented.

Such a talent was innate.

Without Ai Ni’s interference, based on the character of these two, life should go smoothly for them.

But there was one thing, Huang Mingxi’s older brother, really was a drag.

He had a poor character, was lazy and gluttonous, which is why he’d been taken advantage of by others.

Yet even so, the two of them were still able to live well.

Gu Huai’an finished the meeting quickly.

He took Asheng’s hand to pick up Song Yunuan.

The little guy would sweetly call him "big brother" every time he saw him, and when they went out to eat, he definitely wanted to bring Little Asheng, who loved all kinds of fine foods.

As for Song Mingbo, he was out experiencing the world with his uncle.

The restaurant Gu Huai’an and Song Yunuan went to was a grand one called Hongyan.

It was high-class, frequented by celebrities and socialites.

One needed to make a reservation to dine here.

Secretary Xiao Wu had already made arrangements in advance.

Needless to say, the food was exceptional.

Especially the various delicate pastries, small and exquisite yet delicious.

Gu Huai’an was softly chatting with Song Yunuan while taking care of Little Asheng.

The private room originally had waitstaff to serve them, but they weren’t needed, so they were politely asked to step out.

It was customary here to tip.

Gu Huai’an gave the waitstaff a tip, and they left overjoyed.

With the waitstaff gone, Little Asheng felt even more at ease.

Many of the dishes ordered were his favorites.

The kind he could eat every day without growing tired of them.

Gu Huai’an ordered quite a lot.

Song Yunuan asked if they could buy some pastries, and the restaurant manager had already prepared a large food box.

The food box was made of wood and looked very rustic.

It was carved with intricate patterns on the surface, and while the material was definitely not rosewood, it was ordinary wood, the craftsmanship was exquisite.

Using this box to carry pastries was naturally much more upscale than using plastic bags.

The restaurant manager said they would have someone deliver it, and inside were several kinds of pastries that were on their table that day, plus a few new additions.

Their table was personally attended to by the restaurant manager.

It turned out that this restaurant was owned by the Sixth Master.

Little Asheng stared at the food box, lost in thought; one might even think he was longing for what was inside.

Like always, whenever Little Asheng went out, he would have to carry his little shoulder bag, which his sister had specially made for him, always filled with useful things, toys, as well as treats.

Of course, it also contained his little jade Ruyi.

Song Yunuan didn’t make a point of inquiring about his mysterious items, and neither did the family pay much attention.

How Little Asheng usually interacted with the jade Ruyi, she actually wasn’t very clear on, just worried that asking too much might make Asheng take it to heart.

According to Old Man Song, children under the age of eight have a "heaven’s eye."

They can connect with heaven and earth, carrying their own natural spirituality.

This is why some children can see certain things that they can’t see when they grow up.

Little Asheng said the jade Ruyi had awakened.

Well, let it awaken, as no one asked Asheng exactly what had happened.

Song Yunuan felt that the world constructed in this book was an ordinary, common world.

But now, because of her presence, it seemed it would become extraordinary.

Naturally, she had no intention of denying her brother’s abilities.

But he wouldn’t pay extra attention.

However, now there was something different about his brother’s expression than usual.

It wasn’t fear or panic, just an incredibly surprised look.

Song Yunuan thanked the hotel manager, and after that, the hotel manager courteously left the space for the three of them.

Gu Huai’an didn’t speak, instinctively sensing that something was about to happen.

His querying eyes looked towards Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan subtly pointed at Little Asheng.

Then she told Asheng, "If you’re full, then you’re full. Don’t think about eating more. That’s for your little uncle and others."

Her hand rested on the food container.

Someone would carry it away after they left.

Of course, they wouldn’t let Song Yunuan do it themselves.

While speaking, she opened the food container.

After her strength upgraded to energy, Song Yunuan could sense things unknown to others.

However, for the most part, she just ignored them.

This time, Song Yunuan also sensed something unusual.

The food container wasn’t an old object, but it was different from ordinary wooden items.

Little Asheng suddenly pulled away Song Yunuan and whispered, "Sister, don’t open it. There are three kids in here. The little Ruyi said they’re almost gone!"

Gu Huai’an’s gaze sharpened.

Song Yunuan was brave. She thought if it were an ordinary person, they would have gotten goosebumps and broken into a cold sweat.

But clearly, Asheng wasn’t aware of this. He still thought all this was very normal.

When dealing with such children, there really was no perfect way to respond.

With a gentle voice, Song Yunuan asked, "Did the little Ruyi tell you anything else? Right, show me your little Ruyi."

Little Asheng obediently took out the greenish jade Ruyi for his sister to see.

At a glance, it looked like a jade piece of excellent quality.

No different from before.

Song Yunuan didn’t examine it too closely and, after a glance, returned it to Asheng.

As if nothing had happened, she asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

Little Asheng blinked and said, "Little Ruyi told me not to meddle in other’s affairs, just to pretend I don’t know."

Song Yunuan gave the jade piece a cold look.

Damn thing. If it didn’t want to meddle, it shouldn’t have said anything to Asheng.

She stared at the jade Ruyi in her brother’s hand, went up and covered her brother’s ears, her voice calm, "This is the last time. If there’s another time, I’ll turn you into dust!"

Song Yunuan, of course, couldn’t communicate with that thing, but it should be able to understand her.

After speaking, Song Yunuan let go.

Little Asheng looked up, curiously asking Song Yunuan, "Sister, why did you cover my ears?"

Song Yunuan said unchangingly, "Because I wanted to have a whisper with your big brother, something not suitable for a child to hear."

Gu Huai’an felt a leap in his chest.

Even knowing the setting wasn’t right, he still felt his heartbeat quicken.

Little Asheng nodded in understanding. "I know, it’s not very convenient for you to talk with me around. I’m just a third wheel, so next time you don’t have to take me. Just bring me back some goodies. But don’t use this food container. Little Ruyi says the taste is still a bit off."

Great, the topic had come full circle again.

If this were a bad person, Song Yunuan wouldn’t hesitate to beat them down with a few punches.

But faced with this, she didn’t know what to do.

It was one thing not knowing, but now knowing, she definitely couldn’t use the food container to store pastries for the family, no matter how delicious they were.

Gu Huai’an had already seen through it.

He was observant and had seen Little Asheng talking to himself several times.

He told Song Yunuan, "Wait here for a moment, I’ll call a waiter to prepare some more."

This definitely couldn’t be eaten.
