At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Oh! My old friend, what are you talking about with the Prince that has you so happy~?"

Lance greeted him with a smiling face.

He had just been arranging the room setup and checking the dishes in the inner hall.

He was just about to come out to welcome them when he saw Chen Tian and a few others had already arrived with the Prince.

"Haha, Lance, long time no see! I've missed you a lot!"

Chen Tian was in a great mood today, hurriedly walked up and gave his old friend a big hug, then rubbed his face against Lance's on both sides.

This was the face-rubbing greeting of the United Arab Emirates, done only among very good friends.

After a quick catch-up, Lance's attention fell on Gu Yu, his eyes lighting up: "I remember you, you are the young appraiser who was with Chen Tian at the auction!"

Lance had a good memory, he clearly remembered that at the international auction, this young man was constantly interacting with another well-known bidder next to Chen Tian.

And he even provided very rational closing prices.

Otherwise, Chen Tian's bidder wouldn't have suddenly stopped bidding when the price peaked.

Clearly, this young appraiser had already set a price limit for the auction in advance.

Being taken to such a critical event by Chen Tian and offering suggestions, Lance certainly didn't think Gu Yu was just an ordinary young man.

How could someone his old friend valued be ordinary?

Moreover, Chen Tian had already informed him before joining the Prince for lunch, that he would bring two friends along.

It turned out to be Gu Yu and Gu Yu's girlfriend.

"Mr. Lance, long time no see."

Gu Yu took the initiative to greet Lance.

Lance nodded: "Yes, it's been a long time, you really are an impressive young man."

"This is my girlfriend, Lin Xinyue."

Gu Yu didn't forget to introduce Lin Xinyue, already sensing her nervousness.

Her slightly tensed arm had already revealed her inner tension.

Clearly, she was not very accustomed to such gatherings filled with important figures.

"Hello!" She tried to greet Lance graciously, her smile somewhat stiff.

How does Gu Yu know so many bigshots!

Here comes another one with a white headdress, clearly no ordinary person!

Chen Tian, the Dubai Prince, and now another unknown bigwig, she was quite worried that any mistake of hers might bring about some very bad consequences.

"Oh! Beautiful lady, your beauty is absolutely stunning!"

Lance's reaction was similar to Prince Weitu's; upon seeing Lin Xinyue, both had exclaimed in admiration.

Being praised in succession, Lin Xinyue couldn't help but blush.

She now felt like finding a hole to crawl into and laugh.

Fortunately, Lance didn't spend much time getting to know people, and shortly, they arrived at the luxurious private room on the second floor of the Yuebin Building.

The gorgeously dressed senior waitress in a red cheongsam, with a lovely face and tall figure, had been waiting for a long time.

"Distinguished guests, all the utensils in the room are ready, please take your seats!"

She bowed slightly, her movements graceful as she gestured towards the group to sit.

Even without skills in judging people by appearance, Gu Yu could tell that this waitress had definitely undergone high-standard etiquette training.

The dignified, comfortable, and relaxed demeanor that flowed naturally from her was deeply rooted in Huaxia's traditional etiquette.

The standard of Yuebin Building was certainly high.

But Gu Yu had never seen this restaurant on any review platform; clearly, it catered exclusively to various celebrities offline.

It made sense, though, that the Dubai Prince wouldn't dine at an obscure, little-known restaurant.

The group seated themselves according to the usual seating order, and soon the waitress brought over a variety of appetizers and beverages.

A cup of tea was also poured for each person.

The rich aroma of the tea wafted through the air, but Gu Yu's expression turned somewhat odd.

Lin Xinyue's did as well.

"This smell, it's so familiar..."

Gu Yu muttered subconsciously, and Lin Xinyue also nodded slightly, "It seems like I've smelled it somewhere before."

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong, guests? Our tea is brewed using ancient methods, and the tea leaves are also hand-picked today from the Beef Ridge Cinnamon Tea."

Seeing Gu Yu's expression was a bit off, the waiter immediately came over to ask.

He also didn't forget to introduce a bit about the origin of the tea.

Having heard this, Gu Yu suddenly realized why it was so familiar.

Wasn't this the same cinnamon tea he had been brewing daily in his thermos?

Tsk tsk, a hundred thousand yuan per kilogram, Yuebin Building really spares no expense!

"No problem, it's good tea!"

Gu Yu smiled.

The waitress also smiled sweetly, revealing two shallow dimples and... a deep cleavage.

Driven by instinct, Gu Yu glanced over subconsciously.

And Lin Xinyue caught him in the act.

Lin Xinyue wasn't embarrassed, her eyes as if hiding daggers, and Gu Yu had no doubt that if Prince Weitu and Lance weren't there, his thigh would probably have a few thumbprints on it by now.

He sipped his tea guiltily, using the steam as a shield from Lin Xinyue's sight.

Fortunately, Prince Weitu spoke at just the right time.

"I heard this Chinese restaurant's Sichuan cuisine is very famous, but I don't know what the specialties are. Can you recommend some?"

Weitu, holding a menu, went through it, utterly confused.

Mainly because he couldn't make heads or tails of the dish names.

What Twice-cooked Pork, Ants Climbing a Tree, Husband and Wife Lung Slices? They all made him furrow his brows.

Is Twice-cooked Pork fried once and then put back into the pot?

Ants Climbing a Tree, can you really eat ants?

Are Husband and Wife Lung Slices made from the lungs of a married couple?

Just from the names, they all seemed like dark cuisine.

So he handed over the task of ordering to Chen Tian and Lance.

Outwardly, of course, he had to say he was clueless about the specialties and asked for recommendations, but in reality... he just didn't know if these things were edible.

"Haha, it seems our Mister Prince has encountered a difficulty, Lance, why don't you order." Chen Tian first glanced over the menu briefly.

Seeing those names, he guessed why Prince Weitu didn't order himself.

But he didn't point it out.

"Okay."

Lance quickly took the menu and ordered exactly the dishes that Prince Weitu was puzzled about.

It was clear he was quite familiar with Sichuan cuisine.

Chen Tian must have taken him to eat it quite often.

Even to the point where at the end, Lance actively asked everyone, "Does anyone here not eat cilantro?"

This question seemingly echoed the taste of Huaxia people perfectly.

Everyone just shook their heads, indicating they didn't mind.

Weitu's light blue eyes were full of confusion, "Cilantro... what is it? Is it a very fragrant vegetable? Why would anyone not eat it?"

Lance grinned, "Haha, I want to send all the people in the world who don't eat cilantro to the desert to grow cilantro!"

"Breakfast will be cilantro juice and cilantro pancakes, lunch will be stir-fried cilantro and cilantro fried rice, dinner will be cold cilantro salad with cilantro burgers!"

Lance declared confidently.
