As the driver started the vehicle and rushed to the hotel, he wondered:
"Hey, why is Lao Shen in such a hurry to leave the banquet today? He is usually so calm when attending social gatherings, but today he seems to be in a hurry to go somewhere else.

Could it be something happened at home? Or some major change at work? No, Lao Shen's character will never leave the banquet because of this.

Could it be that he has an appointment with a certain woman? Haha, it's unlikely, Boss Shen has always kept a low profile.

Sigh, the more I think about it, the more curious I am, what is the important thing! But it has nothing to do with me, I'd better pick up Lao Shen at the door, and be careful not to make him unhappy.

I wish he could tell me what happened, but I can't ask too directly, I can only guess silently.Someday, I'll know the truth about tonight!"

After thinking about it, the driver still decided not to intervene in Shen Ye's personal affairs, and was only responsible for taking him to his destination.

In the most luxurious private room, Zhang Xuan handed the menu to Mu Xiaoxi like a gentleman, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxi, please order, you can order whatever you want."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled lightly, took the menu, looked at the name of the dish, and thought: "Okay, let's have some seafood, we like seafood. Baby, what do you want to eat?"

The child's eyes lit up immediately, and he said mischievously, "I want to eat abalone! Because abalone is a very expensive seafood, everyone says eating it will save face."

Hearing what the child said, Zhang Xuan said with a smile, "You are such a snack foodie, then, let's have some abalone."

Still not satisfied, the child continued, "I also want lobster, because lobster is what adults like to eat, and I want to try it too."

Zhang Xuan was already a little unpredictable about the child, but he still nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll have a lobster too."

The child continued to choose: "There is also roast duck, because I heard from my father that roast duck is BJ's specialty and it is delicious."

Mu Xiaoxi and Zhang Xuan looked at each other and laughed.Mu Xiaoxi continued: "Then have a roast duck, let's taste the delicacy of BJ together."

The child nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, yes, roast duck is a must! There is also Kung Pao Chicken, I like spicy food."

Zhang Xuan looked at the child with a smile: "Kung Pao Chicken is also good, you are such a picky eater."

The child proudly said: "I'm not a picky eater, I'm a gourmet! I also want braised pork, because I like to eat braised pork made by my mother."

Mu Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Okay, braised pork is also added, let's enjoy the food to our heart's content."

The child is not finished yet, and continues to order: "I also want sweet and sour pork ribs, because it is sweet and sour, I like it very much!"

Zhang Xuan sighed: "You are such a snack foodie, can you eat so many dishes?"

The child proudly said: "Of course, I am a big eater! I also want mapo tofu, because I heard from my father that it is very spicy, and I want to try it."

Mu Xiaoxi looked at the child and said with a smile, "Well, let's have some mapo tofu, too."

The child continued to order: "I also need to steam the fish, because I heard grandma say that eating fish can bring good luck."

Zhang Xuan was amused by the child's reason for ordering: "Okay, steamed fish is also added."

The child blinked and said, "Twice-cooked pork is also needed, because I heard grandma say that twice-cooked pork is a special dish in Sichuan."

Both Mu Xiaoxi and Zhang Xuan felt that the child was a real treasure, but they still readily agreed: "Okay, I'll also have a portion of twice-cooked pork."

The child didn't seem to have had enough, so he continued to order: "I also want to fry the mutton with green onions, because I heard from my grandfather that mutton is good for the body."

Zhang Xuan looked at the child and said with a smile, "You really are a little guy who knows how to keep healthy. Well, let's have some fried lamb with green onions."

The child finally stopped and said with satisfaction: "This is all right, these dishes will definitely be delicious!"

Mu Xiaoxi and Zhang Xuan looked at each other and laughed.Although the child ordered a lot of dishes, Mu Xiaoxi understood that the child was actually playing tricks on Zhang Xuan.She was silently grateful to this cute little guy, because he let her find a little joy and relaxation in this moment when she should be worried.

Zhang Xuan sat at the dining table, with a slight smile on his face, watching the sumptuous food ordered by the child.His demeanor seemed casual, and he didn't seem to care about the prices of these dishes.To him, such a small amount of money is nothing at all, as long as he can please Mu Xiaoxi, he is willing to pay any price for her.

He cast his eyes on Mu Xiaoxi from time to time, hoping to see appreciation and joy in her eyes.But Mu Xiaoxi didn't seem to be very interested in him. She frowned at the menu, secretly feeling that she had ordered too many dishes.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoxi's cell phone rang, and it was a notification that the child's three aunts had arrived.Zhang Xuan immediately wanted to get up to greet him, showing a gentleman's attitude.He wanted Mu Xiaoxi to see his gentlemanly demeanor and win her admiration.

However, Mu Xiaoxi dismissed his behavior in his heart.She felt that Zhang Xuan's actions seemed a bit contrived, as if deliberately showing his sense of superiority.She doesn't like this kind of hypocrisy, and prefers true and natural communication.

"There's no need to deliberately put on such an appearance, I hope he can understand that he's boring." Mu Xiaoxi thought silently.She doesn't care about Zhang Xuan's wealth and status, what she values ​​more is the sincerity and kindness in her heart.

Mu Xiaoxi didn't look at Zhang Xuan, but simply ordered a few dishes she liked.She didn't want Zhang Xuan to feel that she was a vain person, she hoped that he could fall in love with the real self.

Seeing Mu Xiaoxi's indifferent attitude towards ordering food, Zhang Xuan was secretly disappointed, but still tried to maintain a smile: "Okay, I will tell the waiter."

Although he was a little unhappy, he also understood that Mu Xiaoxi might have some grudges against him. After all, he had tried to pursue her, but she had been unwilling to accept it.He knew he had to use more sincerity and patience to earn her trust.

At this moment, the waiter came to the table with the dishes ordered by Mu Xiaoxi. Zhang Xuan warmly served her a bowl of soup and said with a smile, "This is the tomato and egg soup you ordered. I think it suits you very well." .”

Seeing Zhang Xuan's sincere smile, Mu Xiaoxi couldn't help being moved.Maybe he's not that hypocritical, but just a little bad at expressing it.She took a sip of the soup and smiled, expressing her satisfaction.

Seeing Mu Xiaoxi's response, Zhang Xuan felt relieved in his heart. He decided to prove his sincerity and kindness with practical actions.Although Mu Xiaoxi treated him coldly, he was not discouraged, and he was willing to continue working hard to win her heart slowly.

When the child heard that he was going to welcome three aunts, he jumped up excitedly and said happily: "Mom, we want double! Double!"

Zhang Xuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect the child to make such a request.He looked at Mu Xiaoxi, then turned to the child, and said with a smile, "Okay, double is double, as long as you are happy."

Although he agreed verbally, he felt a little heartbroken.After all, these dishes are not cheap, one serving is already very rich, and now it is a big expense for him to order two servings.But he is unwilling to show hesitation and stinginess in front of the child, and he hopes to give the child a good time.

Mu Xiaoxi looked at the child's happy appearance, and looked at Zhang Xuan with some worry.She knew he was a rich man, but after all they were not familiar with each other, and she didn't want to trouble him.She immediately said: "My child, there are so many dishes that I can't finish. Double servings are too many. Let's just order one."

The child's eyes widened, and he said with some disappointment: "But I want to eat double servings, double servings are delicious."

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile, he could understand the child's mood.He looked at Mu Xiaoxi, and persuaded him, "Xiaoxi, if the child wants to eat double portions, he can eat double portions. Since he has this wish, it doesn't matter if we satisfy him."

Mu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, since he wants to eat so much, let's have a double serving."

The child laughed happily, and immediately ordered a bunch of dishes, as if he wanted to taste all the delicious dishes.He gave the reason while ordering: "I want double crab roe buns, because the crab roe buns are very fragrant and delicious; I also want double garlic vermicelli scallops, because vermicelli scallops are tender and delicious."

Listening to the child's reason for ordering, Zhang Xuan couldn't help showing a gratified smile.He thinks that the child is really a smart and lovely child who knows how to taste delicious food and enjoy life.

The child continued to order: "I want double braised eel, because the eel is very tender and delicious; I also want double fried noodles with scallops, because fried noodles with scallops are very delicious. I like noodles."

Mu Xiaoxi looked at the pile of dishes ordered by the child, and asked with some concern: "Son, can you finish all these dishes?"

The child said solemnly: "Don't worry, I am a big eater, I can eat it!"

Listening to the child's words, Zhang Xuan couldn't help laughing, thinking that this child is really an interesting little guy.He is willing to pay for his children's preferences, and he feels that such happy moments are worth everything.

Seeing the child's resolute attitude, Mu Xiaoxi nodded in agreement.She knows that the wish in the child's heart is very important. After all, they are a family, and she hopes that the family can be together happily.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoxi's phone rang, announcing the arrival of the three aunts.She glanced at the phone hastily, and said to the child, "Honey, our three aunts are here, I'll go meet them."

Zhang Xuan stood up immediately, hoping to show a gentleman's attitude: "I will accompany you to greet him."

When Mu Xiaoxi heard him say that, she felt a little helpless.She knew that Zhang Xuan wanted to show his gentlemanly demeanor at this time, but she felt that this was a bit artificial and too deliberate.

She quickly said: "No, I can do it by myself. You wait here first, I will be back soon."

Zhang Xuan nodded in embarrassment: "Okay, drive carefully."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled, turned and left the private room.She felt a little helpless about Zhang Xuan's behavior in her heart, but she also knew that he was out of kindness.She hoped that he could treat himself and his children sincerely, not deliberately pursue superficial vanity, but feel the beauty of life with sincerity.

After Mu Xiaoxi left, the child looked at Zhang Xuan excitedly: "Dad, we ordered so many dishes, so rich!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and patted the child's head: "Yes, as long as you are happy. Even if you go to the most luxurious hotel, uncle can afford it, just afraid of wasting it."

The child laughed even happier when he heard Zhang Xuan say this: "Uncle is the best! Let's eat together when mom comes back."

Seeing the child's happy appearance, Zhang Xuan felt extremely relieved.He decided not to pursue superficial vanity too much, but to accompany Mu Xiaoxi and the children with sincerity, so that they can feel real happiness and warmth.For him, this is the most important thing.

The child gnawed a grape contentedly, and praised Zhang Xuan with shining eyes: "Uncle Zhang, you are amazing! The dishes you ordered are all delicious, and you have so much money, I think you are a big deal!" What about rich people!"

Hearing the child's praise, Zhang Xuan shook his head with a smile: "No way, I'm just an ordinary person, nothing special."

The child said incredulously: "But I heard from my mother that your family has a lot of money, lives in a super big mansion, drives a luxury car, just like a big star on TV!"

Seeing the child's persistence, Zhang Xuan couldn't help being a little proud, and his vanity was satisfied: "Hehe, it's okay, but those are trivial things, really not worth mentioning."

The child continued to ask: "Uncle Zhang, how many luxury cars do you have at home? How many floors does the luxury house have?"

Zhang Xuan waved his hands pretending to be mysterious: "These are not important. The important thing is that we are eating together now and enjoying delicious food."

The child was not satisfied with Zhang Xuan's answer. He was unwilling to answer the question about the family's wealth directly because he was aware of Zhang Xuan's intentions.The child is not stupid, he knows that Zhang Xuan has a different feeling for his mother, and he doesn't want them to be together.

So, the child changed the subject and started talking nonsense about Mu Xiaoxi's various hobbies and interests.He deliberately confused Zhang Xuan's thinking, hoping to make him lose his way.

"Mom likes to go shopping and watch movies. She also likes to do handicrafts and can make a lot of beautiful things. By the way, my mother also likes to climb mountains. We often go climbing together!" the child gushed.

Zhang Xuan listened with gusto, and he wanted to get more information about Mu Xiaoxi from the child.He asked: "What else does Mom like to do? Does she have a favorite food?"

The child pretended to be secretive and said mysteriously: "Oh, I can't tell you that. Mom's preferences are something that everyone has to learn carefully, and you have to find out by yourself."

Zhang Xuan felt a little helpless after hearing what the child said, but it was inconvenient to continue asking.He felt that the child deliberately created obstacles, and knew that he should not dig into the horns.

"Yeah, I have to get to know her by myself." Zhang Xuan whispered to himself.

I feel that this child is quite difficult to deal with. It seems that his father is not a simple person. Otherwise, how could such a child know how to deal with himself after being educated, and he didn't get into his own routine.
