Chapter 319: Imperial Cuisine House 2

Ling Xuejiu couldn’t help but laugh and gave Li Mengjie a blank look. In her heart, there was also a small sense of anticipation. Every time her daddy and mommy came back, they would bring some local gifts with them. Over the years, with her parents not around, she treasured those gifts dearly.

"Miss, Miss Xiao Jie, Mr. Leng, you have all arrived!" Uncle Liu greeted them with a full smile on his face.

Leng Xuan and the two young ladies also greeted Uncle Liu, then Ling Xuejiu asked, "Uncle Liu, have my grandpa and daddy and mommy arrived?"

"Yes, they have all arrived and are waiting for you in Wanshou Pavilion! Shall we go up now?" Uncle Liu said, already leading the way, with Leng Xuan and the two young ladies following behind him.

The Imperial Cuisine House was three stories high; the first floor was a large hall with more than a dozen tables, which were now fully occupied, leaving no vacancies, and a passage in the middle that led directly to the second-floor staircase.

The second and third floors were all private rooms, but there was a distinction, as the second-floor private rooms were relatively small, while there were only four large private rooms on the third floor, similar to presidential suites in hotels, very expensive.

The Wanshou Pavilion that Uncle Liu mentioned was actually just one of the four large private rooms on the third floor. When Leng Xuan and the two young ladies followed Uncle Liu inside, Old Master and Ling Xuejiu’s father, Ling Ao, and her mother, Ren Fanghua, were already there waiting for them.

"Daddy, Mommy!" Ling Xuejiu greeted her parents with a playful tone and sat down next to them.

"Hello Uncle Ling, Aunt Ren!" Li Mengjie also greeted Ling Xuejiu’s parents politely.

Ren Fanghua said with a smile, "Xiao Jie has grown even more beautiful in a year." While speaking, she glanced at Leng Xuan unintentionally. She had some reservations about Old Master’s arrangement for Leng Xuan to live in the same villa as her daughter but didn’t want to break the manners on their first meeting. So, she smiled lightly and said, "You must be Leng Xuan, right? Haha, I heard from Dad that you are a very remarkable young man. It’s really beneath you to be Xue Jiu’s bodyguard!"

Leng Xuan felt Madame Ren’s gaze on him seemed rather strange, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. He greeted in the same manner as Li Mengjie had done, saying, "Hello Aunt Ren, Uncle Ling."

Ling Ao appeared to be a very stable and mature man, with an intrinsic air of authority. Seeing Leng Xuan, he genuinely smiled because he had already learned everything about Leng Xuan over the phone. Knowing that Leng Xuan had saved both his father and his daughter, he was very grateful. "Ah," he uttered and laughed, "Leng Xuan, I’m delighted to meet you. With you responsible for Xue Jiu’s safety, I can rest a lot easier. Why are you standing? Please, have a seat."

Leng Xuan smiled and took a seat along with Li Mengjie.

Seeing that Uncle Liu was still standing, Old Master frowned slightly and said, "Old Liu, don’t consider yourself an outsider. Come and sit down to eat with us."

"Alright then," Uncle Liu said with a forced smile as he took his seat.

"Okay, waiter, get the dishes started!" Old Master commanded.

There were two servers in the private room, one male and one female. Hearing the order, the male server said, "Right away, Old Master." Having known Old Master as a regular, he didn’t hesitate to address him as such. Right after finishing his words, he left, and soon after, waiters bringing in dishes began to arrive, presenting a succession of famous banquet dishes.
