Chapter 677 Six idiots (2/2)
Yue Ling sighs and looks around, but she was in for another surprise. All the tables that were once displayed were cleared out leaving only one table.
It was positioned in the center of the restaurant with a red tablecloth laid over. The centerpiece held two lit candles inside lanterns and a bouquet of white, red, and pink roses.
Madam Zhao steals a glance at Yue Ling, and she smiles a giggle that can be mistaken for a quiet snicker. She wanted to tell Yue Ling that it was she who decorated the place but stops herself.
”Have a seat. I'll have the workers bring out the prepared meals.”
She lets go of Yue Ling's arm and glance at her nephew. She gives him a look with twitched up brows then walks in the direction of the restaurant kitchen.
”Do you like it?”
Lu Tian's deep voice sounds from behind Yue Ling. Unlike its usual indifference, it was soft and full of doting.
He stops next to her and reaches down to hold her hand. He gazes down at her with the look of a child waiting to be praised for doing a good job.
Yue Ling was too fascinated by the decorations that she didn't turn to look at him. However, her head slowly nods once in response and she raises her free hand to touch her beating heart.
”It's like something out of a fairytale.”
Smiling at her words, Lu Tian tightens his grip on her hand and guides her to the table. He helps her with the chair then walks over to the empty chair across from her.
Just as he sat down, his eyes caught a glimpse of the kitchen entrance that was across from him and behind his wife.
He was beyond dumbfounded as it was not only Madam Zhao poking her head out, but also Uncle Zhao, Zhao Ya'Er, Xu Long, Liu Shan, and Lin Hui.
Six pairs of eyes stare straight at him with the same expression as if asking him, 'Well, does she like it?'
He casually raises his left hand to his mouth and clears his throat like he was trying to rid himself of any unnecessary feelings showing on his face. However, his right-hand slides down to the side of the table and he gives them a quick, yet secretive thumbs up.
Getting a response, all six people exclaim without a sound.
Just as they were about to start dancing in joy, Yue Ling turns around to look in their direction.
Lu Tian was rooted to his chair and inhales a mouthful of air. Luckily those six people had good reflexes and quickly hid from view.
Unaware that she had scared the wits out of Lu Tian, Yue Ling stares at the empty door entrance to the kitchen. She held a frown and question whether her instincts were messing with her.
She swore it felt like someone was looking from behind her. Not only that, but Lu Tian was also looking in this direction. However, when she turned around to see, there was no one.
Shaking these feelings away, she turns back to look at Lu Tian. When she saw his expression, she stretches her left arm out to him and waves her palm in front of him.
”Tian? Tian? Are you okay? Hello?”
Lu Tian's widen eyes had now turned heavy like they were going at any minute. He stares at the kitchen door and couldn't believe that his plan was almost ruined.
Good thing those six idiots back there were quick and didn't get caught in the act.
