Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 769 Want to ea

Chapter 769 Want to ea

Inside the restaurant, it didn't take long before the round table was decorated with food. The amount ordered was enough to feed at least ten people.
"Ah Ling, eat. Eat before the food gets cold."
Madam Zhao ushers with a smile as she grabs a piece of meat with her chopsticks. She was about to reach over to put it on Yue Ling's plate but stops herself.
"Yue-Yue try this dumpling. It's unbelievably delicious and has the perfect amount of seasoning."
Next to her mother, Zhao Ya'Er chimes in. She shows Yue Ling the dumpling with her chopsticks. Like her mother, she wanted to give it to her best friend but stops herself by quickly eating it.
Yue Ling gives the mother and daughter duo a smile. She didn't mind that they didn't put the food on her plate. She was rather relieved as she can manage on her own.
However, despite two people letting her relax a little, there were still the other two people at the table.
Lu Tian and Madam Lu.
Unlike the Zhao mother and daughter, this mother and son from the Lu family were on another level.
The second the food ordered was brought out and placed on the table, both individuals picked up their chopsticks.
She thought it was because they were hungry and were eager to eat. However, that wasn't the case at all.
Lu Tian and Madam Lu picked up a little bit from each dish and put it on her plate. Within seconds, the plate in front of her was piled up with food in the shape of a mountain.
She stares down at it and slightly pouts. She indeed loves food, but will she able to finish all this?
"Yue Ling eat this. It's good for your health."
Lu Tian spoke softly like a doting husband. His posture was slightly turned to her with his left arm resting on the back of her chair while his other hand grabs a piece of Choy Sum.
He places the vegetable on her plate and smiles a smile that reached his eyes.
"If there's any other food you want to eat, just let me know. I'll get it for you."
His words fell and he looks at her with an expression of a good husband.
Yue Ling parted her lips to answer but the second Lu Tian moved his chopsticks away, a piece of fried pork belly was quickly placed on top of the Choy Sum.
"…"
"Ah Ling eat this first. I notice that you look skinnier from the last time I saw you."
Madam Lu ignores her son, who was now glaring at her. All her attention was placed on Yue Ling.
"Eat as much as you want. No one here will judge you for eating too much."
With chopsticks in hand, she gestures a circle over the many plates of food and puts on a stern expression.
"See, if you don't hurry and eat, these two over here are going to eat everything."
Her eyes were glued on Yue Ling, but she didn't forget to point at Madam Zhao and Zhao Ya'Er.
Yue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. Madam Lu had said she was too skinny since they last met, but they just had dinner together last night.
When she heard the mention of the mother and daughter duo, she ceases all thoughts and looks at them. However, when her eyes met theirs, she was struck dumbfounded.
One was just about to slurp some noodles while the other had her mouth open and was about to take a bite on a drumstick.
Noticing Yue Ling looking at them, both individuals looks at her and grins like two little girls.
Yue Ling tried to compose herself but unable to hold herself back she smiles a faint chuckle. She averts her gaze down to the food in front of her and picks up her chopsticks.
"Thank you for this meal. I will eat as much as I can."
To her right, Lu Tian sat quietly without interrupting the short conversation between his wife and mother. His expression had also returned to one of emotionless. Only, his eyes were glued to his wife with a trace of adore.
When he saw her pick up her chopsticks, he didn't know why but his heart suddenly started racing. Even sweat was starting to form on his forehead.
He swallows a hard gulp and lowers his eyes to her hand. He watches with carefulness as she takes her first bite.
The only thing was, what will she eat first? The food he had picked for her or the ones his mother did.
Oblivious to the thoughts of the man next to her, Yue Ling picks up the choy sum. She didn't think it matters since it was the piece of food at the top of the mountain on her plate.
Placing it in her mouth, she doesn't think much and begins eating.
What she did not know, this made Lu Tian's nose grow, and small smile curls on his face.
He felt incredibly satisfied and starts to eat too. Of course, he didn't forget to continue placing more food on his wife's plate.
Unlike him, Madam Lu felt defeated with a heavy heart.
She thought Yue Ling would pick the fried pork belly as everyone loves meat. However, despite this feeling inside her, she quickly discards it and smiles.
So what if Lu Tian��s choice of food won. She is his mother, so his win is also her win.
Treated like outcasts at the side, Zhao Ya'Er and Madam Zhao had taken a small break from eating to observe the scene. When saw how shameless Madam Lu was being, both women scoff with eyes rolling.
As the five individuals continue to have their lunch, the three men inside Jade Condos had just finished their meals.
Liu Shan was a guest but volunteered to wash the dishes while Xu Long, the new owner of the penthouse clears the table. Both assistants were used to these jobs but anyone who saw them would mistake them for a newly wedded couple.
Xu Long picks up the bowl and cup from the table. He walks over to the kitchen to put it in the sink but pauses midway when he noticed something from the corner of his eyes.
He turns his head in the direction of the living room and a line appears between his brows.
Lin Hui was the last to finish eating, but he was now sitting lazily on one of the couches. His entire being was like he was the owner while Liu Shan and Xu Long were his maids.
"Wow, you really are lazy."
Xu Long spat out his words with ridicule. He doesn't wait to hear a response from Lin Hui and continues on with his way to the kitchen.
He soon reached the ink and place the bowl and cup inside. However, he doesn't walk away to join the other man in the living room.
He turns around but only to lean his back against the kitchen counter and stares over the island to where the living room can be seen.
"I'm curious about something."
Liu Shan finished washing the dishes. He had picked up a clean cloth to dry the dishes when he heard the assistant.
He waited a few seconds to listen to what the man is going to say. However, met with a long silence, he frowns with blinking eyes.
"Bro, if you don't say anything, I won't know what you're curious about."
He picks up a bowl and dried it before putting it inside the cupboard.
"I'm not a mind reader you know."
"…"
Xu Long was struck stupefied. He flung his head to look at Liu Shan in slow motion and stares with heavy eyes.
"Well, bro, I was just getting there until you interrupted me."
His words fell with his rolling eyes. He would have gotten to his point if Liu Shan had not interrupted him.
"Anyways, what I was trying to say is, I heard that Red Moon is in chaos."
He glances at Lin Hui in the living room without turning his head then looks back at Liu Shan.
"What I'm curious about is, did this have anything to do with Fate?"
