Chapter 307: Chapter 307 Nuonuo: What happened?

Fu Junhang parked the car and came over, only to hear Lu Nuonuo’s loud but insubstantial crying.

Seeing the bodyguards surrounding Lu Xining and others, he quickly approached, stood by their side, glanced at Su Ting and Qin Xuexin’s positions, and knew right away that it was these two causing trouble again.

“You guys take the children inside first, leave this to me.”

Upon hearing the commotion outside, the restaurant manager quickly came out with the security to check.

Qin Xuexin, thinking he was the restaurant owner, hastily said in a gentle voice, “Why isn’t your restaurant open for business today?”

“Since we are already here, could you perhaps serve us a table?”

She looked back at Su Ting with eyes full of tender love, regretfully said, “I just got back from abroad and heard from a friend that your restaurant’s dishes are excellent, so I specifically came to try them.”

The restaurant manager, unaware of the conflict between Lu Xining and Qin Xuexin, speaking from a customer service standpoint, said, “I’m sorry, our restaurant is not open to the public today. If you really like our restaurant, you could come another day.”

He turned his head, slightly bent towards Lu Xining, and smilingly said, “The kitchen is already prepared, please go ahead in.”

Qin Xuexin frowned, discontentedly complained, “If it’s not open to the public, why can they go in?”

Just as he was about to tell her that the restaurant was owned by Lu Xining, Su Ting suddenly noticed beneath the fringes blown by the wind on Ming Yuan’s forehead, a twisting scar, causing his pupils to constrict.

He took a few steps forward wanting to lift Ming Yuan’s fringe to see how well it had healed but was slapped away by Little Dumpling.

“Uncle, you are being so ungentlemanly.”

This was the girl dopuely doted upon by Ji Muye, and also the cherished goddaughter of Ming Yuan since childhood. Su Ting told himself not to argue with a child, forced a smile at her.

Lu Nuonuo: “???” This uncle seems a bit off.

She humphed at Su Ting, then turned and hugged Ming Yuan tightly around the neck, saying, “Godmom, let’s go eat quickly, Nuonuo’s stomach is already humming a tune.”

Ming Yuan kissed her protective goddaughter and nodded with a smile, but immediately restrained her smile upon seeing Su Ting.

Ming Yuan: “Mr. Su, remember to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau to collect the divorce papers 30 days from now.”

“You came back just to divorce me? Ming Yuan, do we really need to be at odds with each other? Don’t forget, the marriage was originally…”

Hearing Su Ting rambling on and not stopping, Lu Nuonuo suddenly leaned out, extended her hand and covered his mouth.

Su Ting: “?”

Everyone: “…”

Little Dumpling covered his mouth with one hand while making a shushing gesture with the other.

This precocious girl, smiling brilliantly at Su Ting, slowly said, “Uncle, when I let go, you can’t say any more unpleasant things.”

Su Ting: “…” Ji Muye! You really need to reflect on your genes!

Seeing this, Qin Xuexin hurriedly came to remove the child’s hand but was blocked by the line of bodyguards, who wouldn’t let her approach the child.

Lu Xining, holding the hands of her two sons, watched her daughter cleverly handle Su Ting. Catching a glimpse of Qin Xuexin’s face turning red with anger yet forced to restrain herself, her lips slowly curled upward.

The funniest part was, after Little Dumpling released Su Ting’s mouth, she immediately turned and gestured to Fu Junhang.

She said with distinct disapproval, “Uncle Fu, wipe it off.”

Su Ting coldly snorted in his mind: Indeed, like father like daughter.

This exquisitely cute Little Dumpling, just as infuriating as her father!

The restaurant manager, noticing the situation, quickly guessed some details.

As an adequate employee, naturally, he should help lighten his boss’s troubles.

For example: Annoying the husband of his boss’s friend.

He smiled at Qin Xuexin, who had previously expressed doubt, said, “To address the lady’s inquiry, I have an answer here.”

“Because this lady is the owner of our ‘Hidden Cuisine’ restaurant.”

“Tonight is our boss’s friend’s divorce celebration banquet. The venue has already been set up and it’s not suitable for public business. Does this explanation satisfy you, madam? Do you have any other questions?”

The restaurant manager served with a constant smile throughout, making it impossible to find any fault.

Upon hearing ‘divorce celebration banquet,’ Su Ting’s expression changed instantly.

His gaze turned fierce as he looked at Ming Yuan, who was playing with the child, his tone chillingly cold, “Celebrating a divorce?”

Qin Xuexin was startled by these words, a thought flashing through her mind as she immediately looked towards Ming Yuan, her heart pounding rapidly.

“Yeah, getting married might not always be a happy occasion, but a divorce definitely is. What’s wrong with celebrating it?”

Lu Nuonuo nodded vigorously, tilting her delicate chin, and spoke to Su Ting, “Yeah, what about it?”

Ming Yuan, encouraged by Little Dumpling’s enthusiasm, kissed the little one in her arms and said with a smile in her eyes, “Nuonuo even ordered a little cake for her godmother, didn’t you?”

Raising her head from Ming Yuan’s arms, Lu Nuonuo giggled, “Yep, it’s the Little Prince’s rose, just as fragrant as godmom.”

Lu Xining noticed it was about time.

She suggested, “Let’s go, the food is getting cold.”

As she walked inside with her two sons while speaking to her daughter, “Nuonuo, bring godmom inside, okay?”

After Lu Xining and her group entered, Fu Junhang had his people guard the restaurant entrance.

He hinted, “Don’t allow any dogs in.”

Qin Xuexin was so furious she wanted to stomp her feet, but to keep up appearances she could only grit her teeth and force a smile. She sought warmth and care from Su Ting’s body, but he only had eyes for Ming Yuan.

Outside the restaurant, the dim, sentimental street lamps cast their light on him, stretching a solitary shadow on the ground.

She voiced a guess she couldn’t accept herself, “Ating, have you fallen in love with Ming Yuan?”

“Don’t overthink it.” Su Ting let go of his tightly clenched fist, turned around and looked down at her.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to another place for dinner. There’s a good Western restaurant I can take you to try.”

The man took the lead and walked forward, leaving Qin Xuexin stunned behind him.

She had told him before coming that she didn’t want to eat Western food, but now he insisted on taking her there. It was clear, seeing Ming Yuan had shifted his attention away from her.

“Ating, are we still going through with the wedding the day after tomorrow?” Qin Xuexin hurried after him.

The wind carried his reply: “Yes.”

Inside the restaurant, Ming Yuan looked at the row of men in front of her, filled with question marks.

She turned to look at Lu Xining, but saw her good friend shrug and say, “This wasn’t my idea.”

Lu Xining looked towards her daughter nestled in Ming Yuan’s arms seeking praise, and sighed slightly, not understanding which step recently had fed Little Dumpling such ‘progressive’ ideas.

“It’s Nuonuo, yeah~ godmom~”

Little Dumpling fidgeted with her fingers and said, “These are super beautiful, super amazing bodyguard uncles. I asked them to dance for godmom, and peel grapes!”

Ming Yuan: “???”

She suddenly recalled a scene from a movie she had watched with the children before.

Ming Yuan bluntly said, “But sweetheart, isn’t this too many people?”

Lu Nuonuo turned around to glance at the carefully selected eighteen handsome and fit bodyguards.

She blinked innocently and said, “So what? Godmom is so beautiful, what’s wrong with having a few more?”

Seeing her child’s naturally innocent demeanor, Ming Yuan curved her lips upwards and kissed her fiercely twice.

“Good baby, truly godmom’s little padded jacket!”
