Shangguan Linglan’s question let Xiao Chen, Jing Lang and others focus their eyes on Jing Yue. Jing Yue’s identity had long been known to all. How did a girl growing up in the forest know so much?

“I learned it from a book.” Jing Yue smiled, “Don’t ask me what book it is. This is my treasure. Once I tell you, what if it’s stolen?”

“Ha-ha-ha… That’s true.” Fang Zicheng laughed loudly and said, “Where did you get the book?”

“I picked it up in the junk.” Jing Yue muttered, “It’s a big secret. You must keep it. If someone else knows it, I suppose our mansion will be burgled.”

“If anyone dares come, I will let him in but not out.” Xiao Chen, who had been silent for a long time, heard Jing Yue’s words and uttered with a slight frown and indifference. When the words ended, the room fell into a strange silence again.

Everyone looked at Xiao Chen with horror. Who dared to steal the Mansion of Ninth Imperial Uncle? It was like courting death.

“OK, thank you for coming today. Come early tomorrow if you still want to eat, for I’m afraid the entrance of the restaurant will be too crowded.” Jing Yue stood up and declared to everyone.

“Come on! You dare not welcome us? Believe it or not, I can demolish your restaurant!” Shangguan Linglan shouted furiously with arms akimbo.

“Demolish the restaurant?” Before Jing Yue had the chance to retort, Xiao Chen stood up and repeated the three words. He immediately put out Shangguan Linglan’s arrogance. She forced a dry laughter to gloss it over, hiding behind her third elder brother Shangguan Minhao.

“Ninth Imperial Uncle, Ninth Imperial Concubine, we’re going to leave first. Thank Ninth Imperial Concubine for inviting us.” Minhao glanced at Linglan faintly and bowed slightly towards Xiao Chen and Jing Yue.

“Take care!” Jing Yue smiled and nodded.

“Yueyue, we’re leaving too.” Ning Xiangyuan stood up and looked at Jing Yue with a decent smile.

“Okay, be careful on the way.” Jing Yue nodded.

“Well… Ninth Imperial Uncle, see you.” Ning Xiangyuan slightly bowed to Xiao Chen, with a bit shyness flashing in her glance at Xiao Chen. She quickly concealed it and elegantly turned around to leave.

“Huh? Xiao Chen, when did you become so familiar with Yuanyuan?” Jing Yue blinked doubtfully and clearly realized that Ning Xiangyuan’s behavior made her feel like Xiao Chen was the master of this restaurant. Why Ning Xiangyuan, who should be familiar with Jingyue, seemed warmer to Xiao Chen?

“You thought too much.” Xiao Chen indifferently looked at Ning Xiangyuan as she departed, with a glimmer of cold in his eyes and a hint of boredom that Jing Yue hadn’t noticed.

“Oh…” Jing Yue shook her head without more suspicion. After sending people off, she was relieved in the instantly empty restaurant. It seemed that the opening ended very successfully.

“Xiao Chen, you go back first. I’ll go through the back door.” Jing Yue pulled Xiao Chen downstairs and told him.

“Why?” Xiao Chen wrinkled his eyebrows in dissatisfaction when he heard this, looking very unhappy.

“My identity cannot be known. Otherwise, people would think you have opened this restaurant.” Jing Yue pursed her mouth and said, “Come on, I’ll go home soon.”
