Xu Xiuwen introduced: "The name of this restaurant is Ruowenlou, which is taken from the Chinese character in my name. It just opened last week, so I haven't had time to tell you yet."
If Wen Lou…
Cheng Lu silently repeated the name of the restaurant in his mind.
Sure enough, there was a text.
Then the word "if" in front...
Cheng Lu didn't ask any more questions.
As for whether she is curious, only she knows.
Cheng Lu glanced at Xu Xiuwen calmly and said, "You hid it very well."
Xu Xiuwen heard a hint of doubt in Cheng Lu's tone.
He didn't want Cheng Lu to think too much, so he explained: "I didn't intend to hide it from you, otherwise, I wouldn't be here to celebrate your birthday. It's just that I never had the chance to tell you, and you ignored me..."
As he spoke, a hint of helplessness unconsciously appeared in his tone.
Cheng Lu did not comment.
She suddenly asked, "Have you brought Xiao Youran here?"
Xu Xiuwen shook his head: "You are the first girl I brought here. If you don't believe me, you can ask the waiters in the store. They can vouch for me."
Cheng Lu said calmly: "I'm not that boring."
But there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
Without waiting for Xu Xiuwen to speak, Cheng Lu asked again: "Xiao Youran, what are you going to do?"
Xu Xiuwen was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Can you please not mention her today? I just want to spend this birthday with you."
Cheng Lu was a little surprised.
She looked at Xu Xiuwen carefully.
I wonder if he said this in front of me on purpose or if he really meant it.
Xu Xiuwen's eyes were clear and he did not dodge or evade.
Doesn't seem like a lie.
Cheng Lu immediately believed it a little.
She changed the subject and said, "You want to introduce someone to me. How long will it take for them to arrive?"
Xu Xiuwen said: "I'll make a phone call and ask."
Cheng Lu hummed.
So Xu Xiuwen took out his cell phone and made a call.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiuwen said, "They are already downstairs and will be coming up soon."
Less than a minute later.
There was another knock on the door.
Then, Bai Yue'er and Cheng Qiuyun walked in one after another.
Xu Xiuwen immediately stood up to welcome them, "Aunt Cheng, Yue'er, you're here."
Cheng Lu also stood up, but did not say anything. He just looked at Bai Yue'er and Cheng Qiuyun quietly.
Her gaze lingered on Cheng Qiuyun's face for longer.
She didn't know Cheng Qiuyun, but she felt inexplicably familiar with her.
This made her very confused.
She was sure that this was the first time she had seen this woman.
But this strange feeling of familiarity...
Cheng Qiuyun also saw Cheng Lu at this moment.
A sense of closeness arose in her heart.
But she didn't keep staring at Cheng Lu. Instead, she turned to look at Xu Xiuwen and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xu, Auntie was delayed by something, so I'm late."
Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "It's okay. The dishes haven't been served yet."
Bai Yueer on the side smiled and said, "Mom, I told you Xu Xiuwen wouldn't care."
Cheng Qiuyun smiled.
Xu Xiuwen immediately invited the two to take a seat.
Cheng Lu learned a piece of information through the brief communication between the three people.
This unfamiliar woman is Bai Yue'er's mother.
Cheng Lu was surprised, but also felt that it seemed reasonable.
At this moment, she still didn't know what Xu Xiuwen was up to.
Therefore, remain quiet.
After Bai Yue'er and Cheng Qiuyun sat down.
Xu Xiuwen began to care about Cheng Qiuyun's recent life again.
Bai Yue'er would occasionally interject.
The scene looks harmonious and warm.
Cheng Lu even felt like she was superfluous.
She thought about it, and suddenly kicked Xu Xiuwen's foot lightly under the table.
After being kicked, Xu Xiuwen was stunned for a moment.
He just remembered Cheng Lu at this moment and said to her, "Lulu, let me introduce you. This is Bai Yue'er, whom you know. The one next to her is her mother."
Xu Xiuwen did not directly reveal Cheng Qiuyun's identity.
Cheng Lu had already guessed that Cheng Qiuyun was Bai Yue'er's mother.
What she really wanted to know was what Xu Xiuwen's purpose was in bringing these two people here and introducing them to her.
Xu Xiuwen said to Cheng Qiuyun: "Aunt Cheng, this is Cheng Lu."
Cheng Lu nodded politely and said, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Cheng Lu."
Cheng Qiuyun's reaction was quite excited.
She actually stood up and said, "Hello, Cheng Lu, I am..."
Without waiting for Cheng Qiuyun to say the name.
Xu Xiuwen interrupted and said, "Auntie, you are the elder, why are you standing up?"
Cheng Lu also stood up immediately and said, "Auntie, I am the younger generation..."
Wait until both of them sit down again.
Bai Yue'er glanced at Xu Xiuwen and smiled, looking very playful and cute.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help laughing either.
At this time, the waiters began to serve the dishes.
Exquisite dishes were served on the table one after another.
There are twelve dishes and two soups in total.
For four people, it was a bit too much.
Some girls would like to order as many dishes as possible so that they can take photos and show off.
Cheng Lu doesn't like waste.
She subconsciously wanted to say something to Xu Xiuwen, but suddenly remembered that they had broken up, so she restrained herself.
Xu Xiuwen saw what Cheng Lu was thinking and took the initiative to explain: "Today is your birthday."
Cheng Lu nodded.
Cheng Qiuyun, who was watching this scene, felt something strange in her heart.
She glanced at her daughter next to her again, and then thought about the seating arrangement, and her brows couldn't help but frown.
The four of them were seated at the moment, with Xu Xiuwen and Bai Yue'er sitting on both sides, and Cheng Qiuyun and Cheng Lu sitting in the middle.
Cheng Qiuyun felt that her daughter did not look like Xu Xiuwen’s girlfriend, but Cheng Lu was more like Xu Xiuwen’s girlfriend.
She felt that she was overthinking and forced herself not to think too much.
Then we started eating.
At the dinner, Cheng Qiuyun asked Cheng Lu many questions.
Although Cheng Lu felt that Cheng Qiuyun was a little too enthusiastic, he still answered.
I heard that she went to high school in Xian.
