Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Cosmetics (9)_1

The restaurant’s decor was modern, infused with distinct local flavors from Country H.

Concerned that Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo might not be accustomed to the local cuisine from Country H right away, Situ Xin made sure that in the past few days, they had only tried local snacks instead of a full meal.

When Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo heard that Xiao Muli wanted to treat them to a meal, and it was local delicacies no less, they promptly got into Lu Juan’s car without any hesitation and headed to the restaurant.

"The decor of this restaurant is quite nice."

"The ambiance is good too." Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo admired the restaurant decor as they walked inside. From their comments, it was clear that they were quite pleased with the place.

"Grandma Situ, Grandma Loo, I’m glad you two are satisfied," Xiao Muli said, knowing the importance of getting on the good side of Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo. He was relying on them to put in a good word for him when Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo found out about his relationship with Situ Xin in the future. "Not only is this restaurant beautifully decorated, but the taste of the local cuisine here is also excellent. Both of you grandmas, please eat up later."

"Sure, sure, sure. Muli, don’t worry, we two old ladies won’t be shy about it." Xia Muli’s grandmother was no longer with them, and she was very close to Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo. They had watched Xiao Muli grow up since he was a child and had come to see him as their own grandchild. Naturally, they were not going to stand on ceremony with their own grandson.

After the group arrived at the private room, Xiao Muli pulled out the chairs for the ladies one by one and waited for everyone to sit down before he himself sat down next to Situ Xin. "Waiter, the menu," Xiao Muli requested from the waiter in Country H’s language.

Just as the waiter brought over the menu, a ringtone buzzed from Situ Xin’s purse.

The sound immediately drew the attention of everyone present. Under their watchful eyes, Situ Xin pulled out her phone from her bag and glanced at the unfamiliar number on the screen. She frowned slightly, wondering who it could be. Since arriving in Country H and getting a phone, she had given her number only to people from the Dragon Society and The Dark Division back home. She remembered all the phone numbers from the Dragon Society and the Dark Division, but this number was not only unfamiliar to her, but it was also clearly a local Country H number.

Xiao Muli hesitated but still answered the call. As she picked up, before she could speak, an excited voice came through. "Hello, Master, where are you?"

"Ah Xiang?" Situ Xin recognized the familiar voice on the phone and was almost certain of the caller’s identity, yet she asked tentatively.

"Master, it’s me. Hehe," Liu Yuxiang said, sitting in the car and touching his head with a foolish grin. This made the driver, who glanced at Liu Yuxiang’s expression in the rearview mirror, slip up. The car swerved to the side for a moment but thankfully, the driver reacted quickly and pulled the car back on course, otherwise, they would have definitely collided with the car next to them.

Xia Yujie, sitting beside Liu Yuxiang, was used to his occasional silly behavior. He knew that Liu Yuxiang only acted differently, that simple and goofy way, when around Situ Xin, just like now.

That being said, Xia Yujie wasn’t any different when it came to his own interactions with Situ Xin, was he?

"Ah Xiang, you’re in Country H now? What brought you here?" Situ Xin used a questioning tone but spoke with certainty.

"Master, how did you know that Ah Jie and I are in Country H?" Liu Yuxiang, who often acted silly when he encountered Situ Xin and sometimes even a beat slower than usual, was completely different from the sharp and ruthless Liu Yuxiang at other times.

Hearing Liu Yuxiang’s question, Xia Yujie couldn’t help but turn his head away, putting on an expression as if he did not know the man. He truly thought that Liu Yuxiang’s question was foolish.

"Your phone number is from Country H, so tell me, how wouldn’t I know?" Situ Xin couldn’t help but roll her eyes inwardly. As Situ Xin spoke on the phone, everyone instinctively quieted down their activities, all ears tuned in to her conversation.

Xiao Muli listened to the way Situ Xin addressed the person on the phone, frowning unconsciously, and then wondered about the identity of this Ah Xiang and what relation they had with Situ Xin.

"Hehe," Liu Yuxiang also realized how silly his question had been.

"Quit laughing, you haven’t answered me yet. Why have you and Ah Jie come to Country H? Has something happened to the Dragon Society?" Situ Xin asked, as everyone present was family and people she trusted. What’s more, her relationship with the Dragon Society was already known by the upper echelons of Country H. However, due to her status as the Dark Division Leader, they all kept a tacit blindness to it.

Situ Xin thought that something tricky must have happened with the Dragon Society in Country H to make Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang come personally. Anxiety laced her voice as she spoke.

Having heard Situ Xin mentioning the Dragon Society, Xiao Muli then realized who this Ah Xiang could be and he breathed a sigh of relief internally.

From what Xiao Muli understood, even though Situ Xin was close to Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang from the Dragon Society, their relationship was purely platonic, akin to comrades, just like Xiang Yang from The Dark Division.

As for what Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang thought of Situ Xin, Xiao Muli had no idea about that. However, he felt there was nothing to worry about as long as Situ Xin had no special feelings for them.

"Yes, there is a small matter," Liu Yuxiang had meant to say there was no issue, but before he could speak, Xia Yujie, who overheard the conversation, quickly nudged him. He made Liu Yuxiang change his reply before the words left his mouth.

If they let Situ Xin know that they had come to deal with those who had offended her, they would definitely be ordered to return to Country H by her.
