Zhou Xueyi angrily said, "I'm inviting Miss Yan to lunch, who are you and why are you following us!"

  Du Ming said innocently, "Me? I'm Chu Chu's boyfriend. Since Mr. Zhou is so wealthy and doesn't care about money, why not invite one more person?"

  Zhou Xueyi was choked for a moment and shouted, "Even if I had money, I wouldn't want to invite someone like you!"

  Du Ming intentionally made a disappointed expression, "That won't do, Chu Chu must have me accompany her for dinner. Since Mr. Zhou is so stingy and doesn't want to invite one more person, then fine, Chu Chu let's go back."

  Du Ming made a gesture as if he was about to pull Xian Chuchu out of the car, Zhou Xueyi panicked and said, "Okay, okay! You can go too!"

  Du Ming sat back down steadily and smiled at Yan Chuxu.

  Xiang Xiang also burst out laughing.

  Zhou Xueyi slammed the car door in anger, originally planning to sit with Yan Chuchu and take advantage of the situation on the road. However, Du Ming sat beside Yan Chuchu, taking up the entire back seat with his reclined position, leaving no room for anyone else. Zhou Xueyi could only get into the front passenger seat with a huff.

  All the way, Du Ming and Yan Chuchu were laughing and chatting in the back seat, as if no one was around, while Zhou Xueyi could only sit next to the driver in the front seat, his face turning black like charcoal along the way.

  They finally arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. Zhou Xueyi deliberately went around to where Yan Chuchu was sitting, opened the car door and asked Yan Chuchu to get out of the car.

  Unexpectedly, as Zhou Xueyi opened the car door, a man's leg stretched out, and it turned out to be Du Ming.

  Zhou Xueyi had no idea when the two people swapped seats, and could only watch as Du Ming got off the car with a smile that seemed to be begging for a beating. He even smiled at Zhou Xueyi and said, "Oh dear, Mr. Zhou is too polite, personally coming to open the car door for me. Next time I'll do it myself."

  After finishing, Du Ming unceremoniously squeezed Zhou Xueyi to one side, stood at the door, helped Yan Chuchu down from the car, and didn't even give Zhou Xueyi another glance before walking with her into the restaurant.

  Zhou Xueyi was about to be driven mad, and could only slam the car door shut again, while Kuai stepped into the restaurant.

  Zhou Xueyi was a regular at this restaurant, and the waiters who had been working here for a longer period of time all knew him. Seeing Zhou Xueyi come up to greet them respectfully, they said, "Mr. Zhou, you've come! It's been a long time since you last came. Are you going with the usual?"

  Zhou Xueyi hummed and said, "I'm taking a beautiful woman out for dinner today, find me a quiet and elegant place."

  "Yes," said the waiter with a bow and went to arrange, soon someone came to lead Zhou Xueyi and three people to a table for four.

  The waiter had originally intended to arrange seats for two people, but when he saw that Zhou Xueyi and his party were actually three people, he was very puzzled. However, he didn't dare ask and instead arranged a seat for four people for them.

  Zhou Xueyi pulled out a chair for Yan Chuchu, just about to say "Please sit down, Miss Yan", when Du Ming had already arrived opposite him, pulling out a chair and flashing Yan Chuchu a faint smile. Yan Chuchu understood the hint and sat down.

  Du Ming then plopped himself down beside Yan Chuchu. Zhou Xueyi stood there stupidly for a moment before finally sitting down across from Yan Chuchu.

  At this time, the waiter brought up the menu, "Mr. Zhou, hello, what can I get for you?"

  Zhou Xueyi pretended to be a gentleman and handed the menu to Yan Chuchu, "May I ask what Miss Yan would like to eat?"

  Xiangchu Xiang finished reading the menu and said, "I don't understand French cuisine either, I don't know what to eat. Brother Du, can you help me choose?"

  Chu Chu handed the menu to Du Ming, who smiled and said, "Alright, I'll order some delicious dishes for you."

  Du Ming casually flipped through the menu and saw that Zhou Xueyi had chosen a fairly authentic French restaurant, with classic French dishes on the menu.

  Du Ming, who had lived in France for a considerable period of time, didn't need to look at the menu due to his familiarity with French cuisine. However, in order to annoy Zhou Xueyi sitting across from him, Du Ming deliberately flipped through the menu page by page, slowly and deliberately, before finally ordering a large number of dishes from the waiter.

  The waiter nodded and said, "Okay, I've got it. Please wait a moment."

  At this time, Zhou Xueyi was so angry that his hair was about to stand up.

  The waiter soon returned with a cart and placed the dishes on the table.

  Zhou Xueyi wanted to show off his knowledge, and rushed to Yan Chuchu, saying, "Miss Yan doesn't understand French cuisine, let me introduce you, this dish is cream chervil salad, made with..."

  However, Yan Chuchu didn't hear Zhou Xueyi's words at all, but curiously pointed to the dish and asked Du Ming, "Du brother, what is this dish?"

  Du Ming smiled and said, "French cuisine usually has thirteen dishes. The first dish is often a cold appetizer to stimulate the appetite. I think you prefer lighter flavors, so I didn't order the salmon for you. Instead, I ordered a creamy endive salad, which tastes very good. Try some."

  The second dish was the soup, and before Zhou Xueyi could speak, Du Ming took the lead in introducing it. "This is a very classic French mushroom soup, which is particularly rich and slightly sweet. You should like it."

  Xian Chuchu nodded, Du Ming said while helping her scoop a bowl of soup. Xian Chuchu took the spoon and drank two mouthfuls, contentedly saying, "Mmm, it's really delicious."

  Du Ming smiled and said, "If you like drinking it, I can also help you make it in the future."

  "Really? That's great!"

  Next, a total of thirteen dishes were served one by one on the table. Before each dish was served, Du Ming carefully introduced it to Yan Chuchu and taught her how to savor French cuisine. Throughout the meal, he took care of Yan Chuchu meticulously.

  Zhou Xueyi could only glare at him from the side.

  When it was time to have dessert, Du Ming smiled and commented, "The dishes in this restaurant are not bad, most of them are quite authentic. However, the beef bourguignon is not as delicate as the one I had when I was in France. Next time I visit your home, I'll make it again for you, so you can taste what a better version is like."

  "Good," said Chu Chu with a clever nod of her head.

  Zhou Xueyi's face looked like he had been punched, originally today he wanted to invite the beauty to dinner and pursue Yan Chuchu, but as a result, Du Ming appeared out of nowhere and stole all his thunder, and for the whole meal, he could only watch the two of them show off their affection.

  At this time, Du Ming deliberately revealed a smile and said to Zhou Xueyi, "Ah, thank you Mr. Zhou for inviting us to dinner, okay, we've eaten enough, Mr. Zhou, you can continue with your work, let's go Chuchu, let's go back."
