"I'm telling you, everyone in there is crazy. The younger one has issues, and the older ones aren't quite right either."

In the hotel corridor, several waiters huddled together, pointing towards the private dining room where Ning Xiaobei and his companions were eating, whispering to each other.

"I just went in to deliver the dishes... My word, I've never seen people eat like that. Such a big private room, but they're sitting in four corners, not saying a word. Even eating 'Dead Man's Tofu Rice' would be livelier than them."

"The two boys looked good when they changed their clothes. But now, with two adults instead, their faces turned pale, one is bluish, the other grayish."

"Didn't you say earlier that the one who looks like a boss resembles Fei Xiang?"

"Well, this 'Fei Xiang' is a bit scary."

Seeing the head waitress approaching in her high heels, the previously giggling waiters immediately restrained their expressions, standing back at the doorways of their respective private rooms, keeping their eyes and noses in check.

The female head waitress cast a cold glance at them, holding a fruit platter in one hand and tapping on the door of the private room with the other. Upon seeing Zhao Jingwen opening the door, she quickly put on a smile.

"Sorry about earlier, I didn't recognize Mr. Zhao right away. Our boss asked me to bring a fruit platter first, she'll come up herself later to apologize to you all."

Zhao Jingwen was taken aback and hurriedly asked for the name of the boss. Upon hearing that it was Lin Yaping, a regular customer at his cheongsam shop, he quickly explained that he had some family matters to attend to and didn't want to trouble the boss to come over personally. They would be leaving shortly after finishing their meal, and he promised that Lin Yaping would be warmly welcomed when she visited their cheongsam shop next time.

The female manager was adept at handling situations like this and quickly excused herself, taking the waitress standing at their private room door along with her.

Since Mr. Zhao needed to handle some family matters in their place, it was considered a favor. In Shanghai, favors were exchanged like this - you owe me today, I owe you tomorrow, and that's how relationships were built.

"What do you want to ask? Just ask."

To be on the safe side, Zhao Jingwen locked the door upon returning. He then sat next to Ning Jianguo, ignoring Ning's attempts to resist, and grabbed his hand, interlocking their fingers tightly.

"We are indeed in this kind of relationship. I don't find it embarrassing."

"Jingwen... don't scare the kids."

Ning Jianguo tried several times to pull his hand away but was firmly held back by Zhao.

"What kids? They're not kids anymore. When I was their age, I had already gone to Yunnan to settle down, and you had joined the military in Heilongjiang. Some things should be made known to them."

Ning Jianguo was so anxious that he covered Zhao's mouth directly.

Zhao Jingwen had long wanted to find an opportunity to openly acknowledge their relationship, but Ning Jianguo was always afraid of upsetting the older one and frightening the younger one.

If you asked him, their older one was already as wise as an old fox. As a top-tier saleswoman at a first-class department store in the old society, she had seen it all. Bringing up their romantic history, who knows who would be more scared?
