Chapter 585: Chapter 513: Willing to Go to the Ends of the Earth with You_2
"Yes, there is, but..." But meeting Professor Luo made her feel uneasy, unsure if he knew about their relationship.
"Mu Chenxi, what are you afraid of? I’m here," Luo Shangqing comforted. "My dad has booked a room at the Xiangshan Club. I’ll go down early to meet you."
It seemed he had something to deal with on his side, and after saying this, he said goodbye to her.
Mu Chenxi sighed, thinking maybe Professor Luo just wants to invite my dad for a work lunch, perhaps my relationship with Luo Shangqing has nothing to do with it. The more she thought about it, the more she convinced herself, feeling much relaxed, reminded that she was just being invited as a family member, no need to worry too much.
Mu Chenxi put on her new dress, thinking of drawing her eyebrows, but deciding against it after looking at her eyebrow pencil. So, she just tied her hair into a bun with her bare face.
Luo Meijuan dressed elegantly in a suit, naturally slender; a touch of makeup added a noble flair. When Mu Kaihua arrived to pick them up, his gaze lingering admiringly on his wife, he commented, "Meijuan, you look beautiful in that outfit, it suits you."
Luo Meijuan became shy from the compliment. Although they are an old couple, their affection was evident.
Seeing them hand in hand, Mu Chenxi’s mouth twitched, her parents were flaunting their affection again.
In the car, Mu Kaihua did not elaborate on the purpose of this dinner; even he was unclear why Professor Luo had suddenly invited their whole family for a meal.
As the car stopped in front of Xiangshan Club, from a distance, Mu Chenxi saw the man standing at the steps, simply dressed in a black shirt and trousers, not needing much to stand out.
"Isn’t that your teacher?" Luo Meijuan, with sharp eyes, remarked; Luo Shangqing was just too conspicuous.
Mu Chenxi leaned on the car window, smiling, and he seemed to see her too, briefly curving his lips.
"Uncle Mu." As soon as Mu Kaihua stepped out of the car, Luo Shangqing appeared in front of them, "My dad is already here, waiting for you and aunty."
Mu Kaihua did not expect Luo Shangqing to personally welcome them, quite surprised, "Professor Luo is already here? It’s our fault, we are late."
"It’s not late. He felt bored at home, so he wanted to come here early. Please, go upstairs."
Luo Shangqing also greeted Luo Meijuan, and finally, his gaze fell on Mu Chenxi, swiftly sizing her up and discreetly winked at her.
Mu Chenxi was amused by his playful gesture, just about to laugh when Luo Meijuan, displeased, tapped her forehead, "Xixi, how impolite can you be, not greeting your teacher properly?"
Mu Chenxi hurriedly greeted with respect: "Hello, Professor Luo."
Luo Shangqing, seeing her serious demeanor, couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, yet he replied respectfully, "Hello to you too."
Luo Shangqing led the way, discussing some hospital matters with Mu Kaihua, while Luo Meijuan and Mu Chenxi followed behind.
This was Luo Meijuan’s first visit to the Xiangshan Club, not that she couldn’t afford it, but at her age, she was no longer trying to follow every trend. Although she had heard of such elite social venues, she never desired to experience them until today, and she was quite happy about it.
"Xixi, why aren’t you excited at all?" Luo Meijuan found it odd. The opulence here didn’t surprise Mu Chenxi the slightest, unlike her excitement at five-star hotels where she would gaze around, even forgetting to eat.
How could Mu Chenxi admit that her visits here were casual, since Luo Shangqing was a germaphobe, preferring this place for dining out, even ordering Xiangshan’s takeaway for breakfast. So, whenever she was with him, without asking, she would automatically call and place an order here.
"No, nothing. It’s just too dazzling here, I barely dare to look around," Mu Chenxi said. Just then, a waiter approached her, immediately greeting respectfully, "Miss Mu..."
Embarrassed, Mu Chenxi quickly grabbed Luo Meijuan and walked hurriedly forward, too ashamed to look up.
The waiter doubted himself, "Impossible, that’s Miss Mu, why would she say I recognized the wrong person?"
The waiters at Xiangshan were all keen observers; those who accompany Luo Shangqing were esteemed guests, so recognizing every person’s face was part of their professional conduct.
"That waiter knows you?"
"Mom, we’re here, get in the elevator." Mu Chenxi quickly pulled Luo Meijuan into the elevator while Luo Shangqing, a gentleman, held the door until they were all inside.
