Having rested for a while, the vitality of youth had fully revived her.
"Okay, I’m going to take a bath too," Yu Cheng also felt a bit uncomfortable.
Given his excellent physical condition, sitting on a train for so long was no burden to him, but he still didn’t like train rides.
Too many people, small space, slow speed.
Plus, the summer heat meant that the two of them had been sweating on the train for several days, the sweat drying only to break out again, and now they both had a bit of an odor.
After taking a bath, they both felt clean and refreshed as they headed out.
Jiang Mianmian changed into the princess dress Yu Cheng had bought for her earlier, looking like a beautifully pristine princess as she walked out.
Seeing that she was ready, Yu Cheng reached out to take her hand, "Let’s go, the place we’re eating is quite far from here, we’ll need to take a car."
When Elder Yu left, he specifically left Uncle Ming behind, in case they needed to go out and didn’t have a car, it would be inconvenient.
The jeep drove out of the courtyard and after about twenty minutes or so, stopped outside of an ancient-style quadrangle courtyard.
Jiang Mianmian thought the quadrangle was good-looking and distinctive, fantasizing about buying one to live in before the property prices went up if she ever had the money.
In her previous life, although she was quite wealthy, she couldn’t afford a quadrangle in Capital City that had been inflated to an astronomical price.
But what she didn’t know was that this private kitchen in Capital City was famously unique.
While others in business hoped for a steady stream of customers, this place was different. They had a special rule, catering to only one table of guests a day and requiring advance reservations.
Many food lovers who heard about the place wanted to dine there but had to be recommended by regular customers; otherwise, no matter who you were, you were guaranteed not to get through the door.
However, they dared to set such rules because they had the capital to do so; the master chef of the private kitchen was a descendant of royal chefs from the palace; their food was indeed exceptional. So even with such stringent requirements, there were still many people making reservations every day.
The courtyard was tranquil, and Yu Cheng and Jiang Mianmian were led by the server into the inner room. As soon as they entered, Jiang Mianmian saw several young men sitting in the room.
Upon seeing Yu Cheng, they teased, "Yo, if Boss Yu didn’t arrive soon, we were going to finish eating and head home."
One of the young men leaned in closer, eyeing Jiang Mianmian with curiosity, "Is this our little sister?"
"Stay back, don’t claim relations recklessly."
Yu Cheng pushed his face away and then turned his head to Jiang Mianmian, "Mianmian, this is Cheng An."
Jiang Mianmian called out politely, "Hello, Brother Cheng An."
"Hey hey, hello Mianmian," Cheng An replied, smugly winking at Yu Cheng.
See, Mianmian called me brother on her own accord.
Yu Cheng couldn’t be bothered with him and pointed to another youth wearing a white shirt and a warm smile, "This is Tang Lin."
"Hello, Brother Tang Lin."
"Hello Mianmian, Yu Cheng always talks about you, and you’re even cuter than we imagined. How old are you this year?" Tang Lin asked with a smile.
Jiang Mianmian blinked innocently and said, "Brother Tang, I’m nine years old this year."
For some reason, although Tang Lin was smiling at her, Jiang Mianmian felt that he was not as harmless as he seemed.
Her intuition was right; the individual indeed was a dangerous beast with hidden claws and sharp teeth.
