Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

The group went up to a private room on the second floor.

It still features the ornate and painted decoration style.

With the beautiful lighting, it lost some of its dullness and appeared more elegant and grand.

The surroundings were quiet.

Lu Yanci and the others watched silently the whole way.

They didn't even know about such a quiet and elegant place.

However, judging from the decor, it's most likely a newly opened restaurant, so it's not surprising.

But how did Su Ruan find out?

Lin Mo nodded to himself without realizing it.

He knew best how much it would actually cost to renovate this place, even though it looked unassuming.

The view, the air, the lighting, and the wood materials here are all very comfortable.

It's much more stylish and classy than those fancy luxury hotels.

As expected of Su Ruan, she has excellent taste.

Next up are the dishes.

No matter how nicely a restaurant is decorated, it's all for nothing if the food isn't good.

Soon, the door to the private room was opened again.

The woman who came in was the same elegant woman I had seen at the front desk before.

She brought two pots of Qimen black tea to the private room.

Pay attention.

Lu Shuangshuang also took a small sip.

Ruan Taole looked around the private room with an open and generous air, and even touched the table in front of her and the chair behind her.

"This wood is good; it's sturdy."

He took another sip of black tea. "This tea is delicious too."

Ji Ning was a little reserved, but with Ruan Tao Le by her side, she relaxed a lot.

As usual, Xia Xingyou sat down in the chair and took out her phone to play games.

After watching Ruan Taole finish touching the table, Su Chen'an smiled and looked at Su Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, how did you find this shop?"

Everyone else looked over curiously as well.

Su Ruan smiled slightly, "If I said that it was fate that led me to this shop, would you believe me?"

Su Ruan's words were quite witty.

This is completely inconsistent with her usual aloof and taciturn image.

Ruan Taole and Su Qingqian have gotten used to Su Ruan's unexpectedly cute personality.

This woman presents a cool and aloof academic image to outsiders, but to acquaintances, she's a good-natured and obedient girl who can sometimes even act coquettishly, which is absolutely irresistible.

Others rarely saw this other side of Su Ruan, except for Lu Shuangshuang who had seen her gentleness.

"If Sister Ruanruan said it was fate, then it must be fate. I must try it later and see just how delicious this restaurant that fate led Sister Ruanruan to find really is."

Lu Shuangshuang's makeup was much lighter, but she still had a charming and innocent look when she smiled.

If she gains a little more weight and her face becomes rounder, she will be even cuter.

Ruan Tao said cheerfully, "I've learned a lot from Ruan Ruan today."

The door opened again, and it was the same woman.

Pushing a food cart, the cart was filled with 12 crystal-clear dishes.

"The first dish is Jade Dew Fish Maw Jelly, which is made by slow simmering top-grade fish maw with fresh Solomon's Seal and lotus seeds until it cools and becomes jelly. It nourishes yin and moisturizes dryness, and has a sweet taste."

Two crystal-clear amber-colored jelly pieces are placed in a shallow, round dish with a celadon glaze. The pale green color of the dish alone is enough to make one's mouth water.

Ruan Taole was stunned.

"This...this jelly looks so good, I can't bear to eat it."

"No, I want to take pictures!"

Lu Shuangshuang, who had just picked up a spoon and was about to take a bite, immediately stopped. "I want to take a picture first."

Ji Ning, who had been rather quiet since getting on the bus, also silently took out her phone.

Xia Xingyou looked at the jelly that already had a small hole in it, and took out her phone to take a picture.

"I call this being real."

The others didn't take any photos; they just took a spoon, smelled the delicate aroma, and took a small bite. The taste was indeed quite good.

"The second dish is Perilla-Flavored Chicken with Fermented Rice Wine. It uses a royal fermented rice wine recipe with a small amount of Poria cocos added. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a mild aroma of wine that cuts through the richness and whets the appetite."

Also served in a shallow, round dish with a celadon glaze, the five pieces of chicken were neatly stacked.

The chicken is milky white with a faint amber sheen from the fermented brine, garnished with a few purplish-red perilla leaves, making it both refreshing and elegant.

Wow! So exquisite!

Nguyen Tao Le exclaimed in surprise again.

Ji Ning's eyes lit up as well.

The others also looked on with anticipation.

The previous Jade Dew Fish Maw Jelly was sweet and refreshing, and this dish alone is so delicious that it makes your mouth water.

As usual, we took photos and then started eating.

Just one bite and you'll find it smooth, tender, and delicious.

Lu Shuangshuang was overjoyed.

Although she is currently in the recovery and recuperation period, she still has many dietary restrictions.

The food here is noticeably different; it's all nourishing and warming, which is perfect for her body.

She didn't need to ask Wen Yubai when each dish was served.

"The third dish is honey-preserved jujube and yam, made with iron yam, longan and dried tangerine peel, simmered slowly. It is good for the spleen and stomach and has a sweet taste."

The dish emitted a sweet aroma as soon as it was served, making the women present swallow hard.

Ruan Tao Le ate with a happy expression.

"It's delicious, really delicious, but each serving is too small, not enough at all."

Lu Shuangshuang smiled and said, "If the portions are too big, you won't be able to eat all the good food later. Are you okay with that?"

Ruan Taole immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.

"I want to eat something delicious."

Then he looked at Su Ruan and said, "Ruan Ruan, how many dishes did you order? I think I should save some room."

Su Ruan smiled gently, "Don't worry, there's definitely enough for you."

"I ordered a whole set meal: four cold appetizers, six hot dishes, a soup, a main course, and two desserts."

Ruan Taole's eyes widened in surprise.

I counted them on my fingers.

"So many dishes! I really need to save some room in my stomach, otherwise I won't have room for the rest of the dishes."

Su Ruan smiled gently, "Don't worry, you won't be able to eat that much."

Ruan Taole then patted her chest in relief.

"That's good, that's good."

"These dishes are so delicious that I can't bear to waste them. Even when I'm so full that I have no room to eat, I still can't bear to waste them."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed. "Indeed."

Su Ruan had considered it. Su Qingyao and the others ate little, but they were already used to small portions and didn't care about wasting food.

Her roommates weren't delicate girls with small appetites, and after this whole round of eating, they were just full.

As for the boys, the portions will be slightly larger, and there will be a choice of staple food.

Furthermore, her main purpose in coming here was to check out the restaurant's menu, so naturally, the more dishes the better.

Lu Yanci looked at Su Ruan, who was smiling and laughing with her roommates.

The same vibrancy I felt in a cute little girl before, I feel again in Su Ruan.

The aloofness and coldness were never the real Su Ruan; they were merely a protective facade she wore when facing unfamiliar people.

Now she can smile charmingly, but in private, is she also cute and charming with a seductive tone at the end of her voice?
