Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 406 I went to the wrong toilet, but it wasn’t Lu Mingfei
Of course, Chen Wenwen was not the only one who had the illusion that the young couple had met each other's parents. Lu Mingfei also had the same feeling.

The main thing was that it was strange that Lao Lu's family and Chen Wenwen's family suddenly met for dinner. When he lived in his uncle's house in his previous life, he had never heard of any intersection between his uncle and Chen Wenwen's father.

Chen Wenwen's mother crossed her arms and kept her eyes on herself.

Even though the uncle and Professor Chen next to them were praising each other, one praising your daughter for being so outstanding, well-behaved, quiet, polite, and beautiful; the other nodded slightly and said that your nephew is also very good, she is the class monitor in school, has good grades, and looks like a handsome man, Chen's mother remained unmoved.

Lu Mingfei felt that the way Chen Wenwen's mother looked at him was like that of Finkel who stood guard at the gate of Kassel College to watch the new freshmen at the beginning of the school year, his eyes full of vigilance and expectation like opening a scratch card.

Lu Mingfei straightened his back unconsciously under this gaze, just like a martial arts master who sensed danger and unconsciously tensed all the muscles in his body.

"By the way, the food can be served." The uncle suddenly called the waitress who was waiting silently on the side. He seemed to be the only person who stayed out of this crisis.

However, the uncle's disruption successfully made the atmosphere at the table much more harmonious. Chen's mother turned her head and looked at her uncle: "You and Mingfei don't look alike. Does Mingfei look more like his mother?"

"I don't really look like Mingfei's dad, but Mingfei looks more like his mother. I've only met her a few times, but Mingfei's eyes are quite like hers, as if they were half asleep."

Chen Wenwen placed her hands respectfully on her legs, looking at the boiled water in her cup, thinking, that's clearly called peach blossom eyes, okay? Very beautiful! Peach blossom eyes are like this, usually they look a little scattered and unfocused... Jiao Enjun has peach blossom eyes!
Chen Wenwen was silently protecting her husband in her heart... No, she was silently defending Lu Mingfei. However, her mother across from her noticed another sentence.

"You said you have only met Mingfei's mother a few times?" Chen's mother asked curiously.

"Yes." The uncle answered cheerfully, "Mingfei's parents are both archaeologists. They met when they were studying abroad. They are usually very busy with work and have to do archaeological excavations all over the world. They only come back during the holidays, so they have been placing Mingfei in my house for foster care."

Lao Lu, who had worked his way up the system, was still alert. When talking about Lu Mingfei's parents, he did not forget to embellish them a little and did not mention that his brother and sister-in-law had never returned home once in the past decade.

"So that's how it is." Mother Chen pondered, turned her head and exchanged glances with Father Chen.

In fact, the test for Lu Mingfei...or for the young couple had already begun since they sat down at the table, even though they were not a couple yet.

From the conversation just now, Chen's father and mother have learned that Lu Mingfei's parents are archaeologists, that is, high-level intellectuals.

As university professors, they have a high sense of identity with scholarly families and believe that the good genes of their parents can be passed on to their children. The identity of their parents is undoubtedly a plus for Lu Mingfei.

However, the fact that his parents were not around since he was young and he was raised by his uncle… made them feel inferior to him. Because a childhood without parents will have a very negative impact on a child's growth.

The parents of both parties were going through the conversation process of the in-law meeting, and Lu Mingfei also wanted to ask Chen Wenwen what was going on.

The atmosphere on the scene was so weird, so weird that he didn't feel awkward at all when the next moment his uncle and Chen Wenwen's parents stood up and shook hands, announcing that he and Chen Wenwen were engaged on the spot.

It was just that Chen Wenwen kept turning her head to the left, and it was unclear whether she was avoiding him on purpose. Chen Wenwen's parents and uncle were still talking across from him, so it was not convenient to call Chen Wenwen directly.

There was no choice but Lu Mingfei could only stretch out his legs and gently rub Chen Wenwen's calf, which was wearing warm white stockings.

Chen Wenwen was looking at the water cup and listening carefully to the conversation between her parents. Without any warning, she felt a tingling sensation on her calves. It instantly ran through her body like an electric current and she almost cried out. Fortunately, she managed to hold it back.

Chen Wenwen bit her lip, and turned to the right with a look of shame and anger, ready to find the culprit Lu Mingfei to question him.
How many times has this happened? You can't say that you mistook her for Su Xiaoqiang this time, right?
Is Lu Mingfei a leg control freak?

"Lu Mingfei, what are you doing?" Chen Wenwen said in a low voice, her soft voice sounding like she was acting coquettishly.

"You finally looked at me. I thought you were ignoring me."

Chen Wenwen did intend to ignore Lu Mingfei. It was not that she did not want to pay attention to him, but she did not dare to. Because as soon as she saw Lu Mingfei, she could not help but think of what happened yesterday and the dream she had last night.

"How could I ignore you..." Chen Wenwen said stubbornly, "I didn't know you called me."

Lu Mingfei put his hand on his chest and quietly made an apologetic gesture, and quietly moved his seat closer to Chen Wenwen: "I'm sorry, Chen Wenwen, I just want to ask you if you know what happened today?"

"I don't know." Chen Wenwen shook her head, her twin ponytails swaying gently. "I was just about to ask you what's going on. My dad suddenly told me that he wants to come and have dinner with you... at your house."

Unexpectedly, Chen Wenwen didn't know what was going on. Lu Mingfei replied, "My uncle did the same. He called me this morning and said that the two families would have lunch together at noon."

Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen both kept their voices very low, and with soothing violin music playing in the restaurant, Chen's parents couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Just seeing the two of them chatting about their own things in front of their parents as if no one was around, I didn't know for a moment whether I should think Lu Mingfei was being reckless or relaxed and natural.

Lunch was served soon. The Chinese food on the executive floor was a Western-style meal, with a per-person fee. The expensive lunch was a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine, with Chinese dishes and foreign names, all of which were innovative dishes that Lu Mingfei couldn't understand.

For example, if you don’t look at the plate, you would never know that a five-headed abalone placed on a lotus flower would be named “Golden Toad Looking at the Moon”.

The tableware was quite impressive, all high-end white porcelain from Jingdezhen, very impressive, and even the smile on my uncle's face became brighter.

Although Lu Mingfei has never been very interested in these innovative dishes, it is a rare opportunity to get something from his uncle, so he happily picked up his chopsticks.

But it was obvious that Chen Wenwen's parents had no intention of letting him go. He had just picked up the abalone when Chen Wenwen's mother suddenly looked at Lu Mingfei and asked, "By the way, Mingfei, how did you and Wenwen know each other? Can you tell Auntie about it?"

Lu Mingfei, with abalone stuffed in his mouth, was stunned and felt that this question was a bit strange.

How could he and her know each other? Of course they were classmates, and they met in the same class. It couldn't be that they met in the women's restroom, right?
But in fact, he and Chen Wenwen did not first meet in class.

In his previous life, he and Chen Wenwen met on the day they entered school. Before they registered for the new class, Lu Mingfei saw Chen Wenwen, wearing a white cotton skirt, get out of a Volkswagen Passat and enter the school.

In this life, he and Chen Wenwen first met even earlier. During the summer vacation after the high school entrance examination, he met Chen Wenwen twice. The first time was in a coffee shop, and the second time was in a computer city.

Lu Mingfei was just about to tell Chen's mother the truth that he and Chen Wenwen met in a coffee shop before the summer vacation, when Chen Wenwen suddenly interrupted and said coquettishly, "Mom, what kind of questions are you asking? Lu Mingfei and I are classmates, so we must have met at school."

Chen Wenwen's heart was pounding, and she didn't know why she interrupted. She naturally remembered that the place where she and Lu Mingfei first met was not in school, but in the coffee shop where Lu Mingfei "confessed" yesterday.

But at the moment when Lu Mingfei was about to answer, she instinctively and reflexively interrupted him and answered her mother's question first.

But maybe she knew why... She might be a little afraid that Lu Mingfei had forgotten the place where they first met. She was afraid that Lu Mingfei would answer incorrectly, so she answered first.

But Lu Mingfei paused and scratched his head: "That's not right, Chen Wenwen, didn't we know each other during the summer vacation after the high school entrance examination? It was in that cafe yesterday that we met for the first time, and I even bought you a Swiss roll."

Chen Wenwen’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was surprised that Lu Mingfei actually remembered... but not completely.

"How could you buy me a Swiss roll? There was only one strawberry Swiss roll left, so you gave it to me."

"Yes, yes, yes, I gave it to you. I just made a slip of the tongue." Lu Mingfei said, "Chen Wenwen, don't you remember? Then why did you say that we met at school?"

"I..." Chen Wenwen was speechless for a moment, turned around and picked up the chopsticks: "No more talking, I want to eat."

However, Lu Mingfei was still pressing her: "But Chen Wenwen, you ordered the pan-fried grouper. Don't you dislike fish?"

Chen Wenwen blushed and glared at Lu Mingfei: "How do you know I don't like fish?"

"Have you forgotten? You came to my house on Christmas Day, and while you were cooking, you told me that you didn't like fish. You said that when you were a child, a fish bone got stuck in your throat, and it left a trauma..."

Chen Wenwen pursed her lips, feeling embarrassed as to why Lu Mingfei was so... relentless today.

She felt shy and depressed, so she reached out and put the fish chunks into Lu Mingfei's bowl: "You remember it so clearly, then help me eat it."

Lu Mingfei looked at the piece of grouper that suddenly appeared in his bowl, and was stunned. He glanced at Chen's father and mother across from him cautiously, thinking, is this not good? Normally, I don't mind eating your saliva, but your parents are right across from me now.

No, Lu Mingfei didn’t usually eat Chen Wenwen’s saliva. At most, when the three girls switched the dishes on the plates and finally put all the meat in his bowl, he might have eaten one or two pieces of meat fed by Chen Wenwen.

Chen Wenwen suddenly realized at this moment that her behavior seemed a little inappropriate. Lu Mingfei was not related to him, and her behavior seemed too intimate...especially with her parents in front of her.

But the fish was already in Lu Mingfei's bowl, so he couldn't take it out, right? Wouldn't that make them even more intimate?

Chen's father, mother and uncle exchanged glances again. The relationship between the two was even better than they imagined. They even dared to flirt in front of both parents...

In particular, Chen's father's expression was the most complicated, because in the past, whenever Chen Wenwen didn't like a dish, he would put it in his bowl.

No wonder the ancients said that when it rains, daughters will get married; and that a married daughter is like spilled water. The little girl hasn't even gotten married yet, but she has already left her old father alone just by dating.

What if I get married? Can I go home to see him once a year?

The happiest person was of course the uncle. Seeing Chen Wenwen being completely submissive to Lu Mingfei, he smiled inwardly and praised Lu Mingfei for not bringing shame to the Lu family. His job title evaluation at the end of the year was probably a sure thing.

"Wenwen, stop making trouble." Chen's mother said with a blaming expression, "How can you throw food you don't like into other people's bowls?"

Chen Wenwen lowered her head in grievance. Lu Mingfei quickly said, "It's okay, Auntie."

As soon as Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen's "flirting" ended, the scene fell silent. The table was suddenly silent, with only the sound of white porcelain chopsticks hitting white porcelain tableware being particularly clear.

The reason why Chen Wenwen didn't speak was of course because she was too shy to know what to say. Father Chen was still immersed in the loss of his little girl. Mother Chen was silently weighing her initial impression of Lu Mingfei in her heart.

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the piece of fried grouper that Chen Wenwen gave him and put it into his mouth, wondering if this could be considered a temporary victory in his pursuit of Chen Wenwen.

As for the uncle, he was thinking about how to turn the topic around to the project. After all, the purpose of his invitation was not really to bring Lu Mingfei to meet his in-laws, the most important thing was to get the project he was in charge of done.

The atmosphere was solemn and a little weird. At this time, the phone in Lu Mingfei's pocket began to vibrate. Lu Mingfei took out his phone and took a look. He found that there were several missed calls. There was also a text message that had just been sent, all from the little goddess.

The general content was to ask Lu Mingfei why he didn't answer the phone, whether he was still asleep, and whether he was free in the afternoon and asked him to call her back when he woke up.

Why now?

Lu Mingfei quietly put away his phone, stood up and said, "Excuse me, uncle and auntie, I need to go to the bathroom."

Before entering the restroom, Lu Mingfei deliberately looked up to confirm that he had not gone to the wrong men's or women's restroom this time, and then called the little goddess.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the huge mirror on the washstand and called back. After two rings, the call was connected, and the little goddess's coquettish voice came immediately: "Why are you calling now? Did you just wake up?"

“No.” Lu Mingfei answered truthfully, “I was eating, and my phone was on vibrate just now, so I didn’t hear it.”

"Eating at home?"

"No, at the Regent Hotel..."

"Regent Hotel? You're willing to spend money, alone? Or with Xia Mi? Are you and Miao Miao secretly going to have a candlelight lunch without me?"

“Um… none of them.” Lu Mingfei scratched his head in embarrassment. “It’s with my uncle, and my uncle’s friend’s family.”

Lu Mingfei did not lie, he was indeed having dinner with his uncle and his uncle's friend's family. It was just that his uncle's friend's family included Chen Wenwen.

Lu Mingfei couldn't bring himself to say that he had eaten with Chen Wenwen in a five-star hotel without telling Xiao Tiannv and Miaomiao.

Su Xiaoqiang said, "Oh, so it's a family gathering. Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I wanted to ask Mingfei if you are free this afternoon... I miss you a little bit."

Lu Mingfei's heart moved. He knew that the little angel was a very strong girl. She didn't act coquettishly towards Lu Mingfei very often, but every time she did, it meant that she really couldn't help missing Lu Mingfei in her heart.

He thought that the little angel had been busy with the company's annual meeting these two days and must be mentally exhausted. He actually owed her a date.

"It's okay." Lu Mingfei said, "It shouldn't take long to have dinner with uncle. I may be free in the afternoon, so I'll see then."

Su Xiaoqiang's voice on the phone immediately became overjoyed: "Really?"

"Ah."

"Then why don't you call Miaomiao along? I miss her, too."

After agreeing on a meeting time, Lu Mingfei hung up the phone. Turning around, he saw Chen Wenwen, who was distracted.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong, just like when you found a bug in a game, but you didn’t know what the bug was.

Before Lu Mingfei could figure out what was strange, Chen Wenwen on the other side smiled and waved her hand: "I just got here, and I didn't hear the content of your phone call with Su Xiaoqiang. I just came to the toilet."

...You've confessed yourself, Mr. Chen.

No, it wasn't because Chen Wenwen might have heard what he just said and felt strange, but...

Lu Mingfei blinked his eyes, looked at Chen Wenwen, and slowly revealed the problem: "By the way, is this the men's restroom?"
