“Do you want to meet Ningning or go back home?” asked Leng Shaoting. Although he wanted to see Gu Ning right now, he cared more about Jing Yunyao’s body and mood.
“I’m fine. Let’s go to see Ningning now! I want to visit the museum too,” said Jing Yunyao.
Jing Yunyao remembered something, but it wasn’t a complete story and it only happened within a short time, but she saw the museum in the palace in her memories. They didn’t go to visit it for fun, they went to chase a thief. Unfortunately, she only remembered half of the story, then fainted, so she wanted to visit the museum to try to remember the rest of the story.
“Sure,” said Leng Shaoting.
After remaining silent for a while, Leng Shaoting said to Jing Yunyao, “It’s 11 am now, and it should be 12 pm when we arrive at the palace. Why don’t you call Ningning and tell her that we’ll have lunch together later?”
“Great,” said Jing Yunyao and called Gu Ning.
At this time, Gu Ning and her friends were still looking around in the Hall of Supreme Harmony because it was very big and they kept taking photos along the way.
Jing Yunyao conveyed Leng Shaoting’s message to Gu Ning, and Gu Ning undoubtedly agreed.
Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao would arrive in 40 minutes, and Gu Ning and her friends would finish walking around the Hall of Supreme Harmony in 10 minutes too. So they would dine outside and come inside again.
Although they needed to buy tickets again after they left, Gu Ning didn’t mind.
Hearing that Leng Shaoting was coming, Gu Ning’s friends were nervous. It wasn’t because they didn’t want him to come, but because they stood in awe of him. Actually, they were excited to see Leng Shaoting, because he was the youngest major general in their country! Not many people were able to see him in the flesh.
Gu Ning had visited the palace in her previous incarnation, and she had done her homework last night before she went to bed, so she knew where to have delicious food.
At the beginning, Gu Ning and her friends planned to dine casually in the palace, because there were simple meals at the west side of the square. However, since Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao would join them for lunch, they decided to choose a good meal.
Because they needed to drive for a few minutes to get to a good restaurant, they directly went to the parking lot.
The restaurant Gu Ning chose was called Palace Food. Although it was a modern building, it was decorated in the ancient style. It also had a good environment with separated yards, fake mountains, and gazebos.
Gu Ning actually planned to come here for dinner today, but advanced the plan. Because she already had the plan yesterday, she directly told Jing Yunyao the address when she received her call earlier.
Neither Jing Yunyao nor Leng Shaoting was a picky eater, so they told Gu Ning to order dishes before they came. It took some time for the cook to prepare their food anyway.
Gu Ning booked a private room and directly told her friends to order whatever they wanted. She also sent Jing Yunyao a message and told her the number of the private room.
After ordering, Gu Ning told her friends to wait in the private room while she went to wait for Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao outside.
About 10 minutes later, Leng Shaoting’s car came and stopped next to Gu Ning’s car.
“Hi, mother, Shaoting!” Gu Ning walked to them.
“Sorry to keep you waiting,” said Jing Yunyao with slight embarrassment.
“No worries, the dishes aren’t on the table yet,” said Gu Ning.
After that, they walked in together.
Once the door of the private room was pushed open, Chu Peihan and the others stood up with one accord. It seemed that they had been trained before, but actually they were just nervous.
After that, they greeted Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao together. “Nice to see you, Mr. Leng and Mrs. Leng.”
Leng Shaoting lightly answered, but didn’t say anything further.
Jing Yunyao smiled at them. “Nice to see you too!”
Afterwards, they went to seat themselves around the table. Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao separately sat by Leng Shaoting’s sides, because they were afraid that the others might feel uneasy if they sat next to Leng Shaoting.
In fact, even though they didn’t sit next to Leng Shaoting, they were still nervous, and they remained quiet after Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao came.
However, it was mostly because Jing Yunyao was older than them, so they tended to behave themselves in front of her.
Gu Ning had to create a relaxed atmosphere later, because it would be embarrassing if everyone remained quiet during the meal.
Gradually, they were relaxed.
“Mr. Leng, do you plan to marry our boss?” asked Chu Peihan.
“Of course, I definitely will,” said Leng Shaoting. He didn’t feel uneasy at all when he faced that question, even though Jing Yunyao was by his side.
“Um, although Ningning is too young to get married, you can get engaged first! Do you have the plan to do that?” asked Chu Peihan again.
“Of course, and my grandfather has already talked about that with Master Tang. We wanted to settle it as soon as possible, but Master Tang said that there isn’t a good date this year after looking at our date of birth and eight characters of a horoscope,” said Leng Shaoting. When it was brought up, Leng Shaoting was upset, because he had to wait for the next year.
“What?” Hearing that, everyone turned to look at Gu Ning with great surprise, because Gu Ning never told them that.
“Boss, why didn’t you tell us? Did you plan to keep it a secret from us?” Chu Peihan questioned Gu Ning in anger.
“We failed to get engaged! I’ll tell you when the date is settled,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t think that she had done anything wrong.
Chu Peihan was struck dumb for a second, then accepted it. “Fine.”
They knew that Gu Ning wouldn’t ignore them, so Chu Peihan was merely complaining.
