Chapter 961: Chapter 961: Young Admiration for Ai 2

If they weren’t familiar with each other, Lu Tianjun wouldn’t be so relaxed around Jiang Xiaoyue, and Jiang Xiaoyue would feel the same.

Although Jiang Xiaoyue has a forthright personality and often speaks her mind, with a kind of heroic aura about her, she is actually very measured in how she conducts herself. Unless you’re a particularly good friend, her smile wouldn’t be so radiant.

As for Lu Tianjun, there’s even less need to mention it. Due to his family’s reasons, he rarely extends trust to strangers.

At present, the only people he opens his heart to are Father Lu, Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue, and Guan Cheng. The younger ones: Lu Tianzhi, Guan Yu and Feng Qingyun receive his care but don’t understand Lu Tianjun’s thoughts.

Although he and Jiang Xiaoyue don’t behave intimately with each other, one can tell they are particularly close friends just by looking at them.

"You two?" Feng Qingxue pointed first to Lu Tianjun, then to Jiang Xiaoyue, at a loss for words. Had something happened while Lu Tianjun was in the Capital that she didn’t know about?

Jiang Xiaoyue flashed a wide, white smile, "Auntie Xue, where are you treating us to eat? No no no, let’s not talk about eating for now. Eating is not at all important. When did you guys come to the Capital? Why did you come? And where are Xibao and Fubao? I miss them." Especially Xibao, who appeared even in her dreams.

Invite them to eat?

Feng Qingxue was mystified. She and Lu Jiang were inviting Lu Tianjun to have a meal, but when did they invite Jiang Xiaoyue?

Something was amiss!

Moreover, when did she, Sister Xue, get promoted to Auntie Xue in rank?

Although Jiang Xiaoyue would surely start calling her ’Auntie’ if she married Lu Tianjun, aren’t they getting ahead of themselves here?

Giving Lu Tianjun a sideways glance as he stood solemnly alongside Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue opted not to expose her great-nephew’s fib and said to Jiang Xiaoyue cheerfully, "Xibao’s dad and I are on vacation. We have three months off, so we decided to come to the Capital to visit you all and will leave soon. As for Xibao and Fubao, they are back in our hometown, we didn’t bring them along."

Jiang Xiaoyue was greatly disappointed and couldn’t resist stamping her foot, "Why didn’t you bring them along? It’s such a rare opportunity to visit the Capital."

"You’ll see them some other time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," Feng Qingxue took her hand, "Come on, let’s go eat. I haven’t been to the Capital in a long time, so I don’t know the current situation. You decide where to go eat; you know what’s delicious here."

"With so many people, of course, we should go for mutton hotpot!" Jiang Xiaoyue did not hesitate at all.

When they arrived at the entrance of Donglaishun, Feng Qingxue noticed something different.

The original sign of Donglaishun had been replaced with Ethnic Restaurant, but business seemed as brisk as ever.

Donglaishun is an old and famous establishment in the Capital. Even if it had undergone some changes, the flow of customers remained unaffected – after all, it was once frequented by national leaders and international friends.

Lu Jiang ordered ten plates of lamb slices and fifty skewers of lamb kebabs in one go.

Feng Qingxue asked for lamb soup, one big bowl for each person.

Apart from her and Lu Jiang, Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue didn’t skimp on the meat but on the vegetables, as even people with good living conditions tend to eat more vegetables than meat usually.

"Uncle, Auntie, let’s order some more lamb kebabs. If we can’t finish them, I’ll take the leftovers back to share with my comrades," Lu Tianjun said with a smile, appearing very relaxed, which pleased Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue immensely.

Only within a family could one be so unconcerned.

"Okay!" Lu Jiang added another twenty skewers, drawing sideways glances from the wait staff.

Seventy skewers of lamb kebabs at two cents each, and the lamb slices for the hotpot at two dollars a plate, that added up to thirty-four dollars, not including the big bowl of lamb soup for each person and the hotpot broth.
