Chapter 168: Chapter 91: Xi Shao, Long Time No See

Mingdian Restaurant’s private rooms are set up with great elegance. Some rooms are Chinese-style or European-style, and they have exceptionally strong privacy, which is why many high-level leaders like to come here to discuss business.

When the manager led Song Qiao and Lu Jingchen into the private room, as soon as Song Qiao stepped in, she smelled the pleasant scent of lotus flowers, giving a refreshing and invigorating feeling.

Looking around, she realized that the private room faced a huge balcony at the entrance, beyond which was a pond full of lotus flowers. With the weather being just right, the pond was filled with lotuses ready to bloom or already blooming to nine tenths, and a slight breeze carried the full fragrance of the flowers with it.

Lu Jingchen looked at the surprised expression on Song Qiao’s face, and couldn’t help feeling a lot better.

Perhaps many people do not understand, there are many women in this world more suitable to become Mrs. Lu than Song Qiao, but he insisted on her.

This might be because of that time on the street when she strong-armed him into marriage, hearing her feign boldness, "Sir, do you have a girlfriend? If not, let’s get married!"

Or maybe because of several years ago, when he saw her dressed in simple casual clothes, worth only a few hundred yuan, standing firm among a group of brand-clad girls, without feeling inferior.

He waved his hand to send the manager out, instructing him to bring the menu in ten minutes, and to directly bring Ning Wan in when she arrives.

From the outside, Mingdian Restaurant appeared luxurious and elegant. Only after walking into the private room, one realizes that there is another world here. Perhaps because of the restaurant’s large area and the high aesthetic standards of the owner behind it, every private room has a large balcony leading to the full lotus pond and the adjacent small garden. There is even a small fish pond not far away, with little bridges over running water surrounded by lush bamboo.

Lu Jingchen explained that this was designed by the restaurant’s owner for certain guests who are interested in fishing. They can catch fish there and bring them straight to the kitchen to be cooked. Some people prefer such an environment, not sitting inside the restaurant or the private room, but enjoying afternoon tea outside, which is why there are several elegant pavilions and platforms near the lotus pond and fish pond.

An City is quite prosperous and developed, and many high-rises have sky gardens, but there are very few gardens like this one, filled with various exotic flowers and plants, next to a lotus pond and a fish pond.

Song Qiao walked out onto the small balcony and took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a longing, and said, "This place is really beautiful, I really like it a lot." After expressing her sentiments, the man had already walked up to her. Song Qiao’s lips moved slightly, she looked up at him, a faint smile on her face, her voice tender, "It’s really beautiful here. Wanwan will certainly like it too when she sees it. Thank you, Lu Jingchen!"

Lu Jingchen put one hand on the handrail beside Song Qiao, trapping her within his arm. His expression unchanging, with a smile on his lips that seemed a touch helpless, he spoke in a low voice, "If you could directly call me ’husband,’ I would gladly accept your thanks."

Song Qiao’s little face turned red immediately upon hearing his words, her lips moved, but she could not utter the word. In the next second, she turned her head back to continue admiring the enchanting scenery outside, her ears burning with a suspicious blush.

Lu Jingchen, seeing the shy look on Song Qiao’s face, didn’t plan to press her further. Sooner or later, he would make this young woman call him that from the bottom of her heart.

Looking at that little face with a blushing smile, perhaps deeply moved, his mind suddenly recalled the girl with an aspiring expression, her radiant smile, describing her dream of happiness in a childish voice, brashly in front of him.

"I have a dream, to have a house of my own. It doesn’t need to be big but should look very clean and tidy, with bridges over running water. I want to cultivate a small garden, plant the flowers I like, even till a small vegetable patch. I’d raise a couple of Labradors or Alaskan dogs, watch them romp about, and spend every weekend in the garden pavilion with the man I love the most..."

When Ning Wan arrived, Song Qiao was already sitting down, sipping the milk brought by the waiter at Lu Jingchen’s behest for fear she was hungry, while Lu Jingchen had stepped out to take a call and had not yet returned!
