Chapter 254 Keep your mouth shut

"Morning Star Pavilion..."

Looking at the name on the plaque, Ruan Xia was stunned for a moment. He had passed this place countless times before, but he didn't expect that this was actually a restaurant.

"Let's go, Miss Ruan."

Lu Tian opened the door for Ruan Xia in a very gentlemanly manner.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were already sitting in a rather exquisite private room.

The room as a whole is antique, with mahogany as far as the eye can see, and a powerful calligraphy and painting posted in the center, which should have been written by a famous person.

"I wonder if Miss Ruan likes it here?"

After ordering, Lu Tian asked with a smile.

Ruan Xia Shi nodded, "The environment is elegant and the layout is comfortable. The owner of this store is also considerate."

Taking a deep breath, Ruan Xia could smell the faint scent of Ningshen incense, and felt even more satisfied.

I will take Mo Tingye to try it next time. This place is quite close to his company.

Ruan Xia was thinking about it in her heart when the door opened and dishes were brought in one after another like a quick glance.

"This is what I call mushroom soup. I have tasted it once before and it was extremely delicious."

Lu Tian's eyes were full of expectation, "This soup is limited to ten people every day. If I weren't a friend of the boss, I probably wouldn't be able to order it."

Ruan Xia was not interested in how he ordered this soup, and looked down at the soup in the bowl.

The soup is clear and light golden brown in color, with several mushrooms of different shapes floating in it.

Although it looked ordinary, Ruan Xia could tell that there was a faint spiritual energy surging in the soup.

People of Xuanmen can replenish their spiritual power by drinking it, and ordinary people can prolong their life by drinking it. It is the same as the small wontons that Mo Tingye took her to eat before.

After a brief taste of a spoonful, the faint mushroom aroma lingers on the taste buds, as if playing in the mouth and unwilling to dissipate for a long time.

“Light, but without losing the fragrance.”

Ruan Xia's evaluation was very pertinent, and he was even more determined to bring Mo Tingye to try it next time.

After all, he treated her to wontons last time, so it was time for her to treat him to something exotic.

After hearing Ruan Xia's words, Lu Tian's nervous expression finally relaxed and he began to introduce her to the various delicacies on the table one by one.

After a meal, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

After eating and drinking, Lu Tian proposed to send Ruan Xia back, which made Ruan Xia feel relaxed.

Just as he was about to go out, he bumped into a familiar chest.

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

Ruan Xia and Mo Tingye spoke at the same time.

"I bring clients here to eat."

Mo Tingye motioned with his eyes to Yuan Qi to take the customer in first, and then continued to speak.

"Mr. Lu is the customer you mentioned?"

He smiled politely at Lu Tian, but his eyes always stayed on Ruan Xia.

"Yes, do you know each other?"

Ruan Xia nodded and didn't react until he said this.

Considering the identities of Mo Tingye and Lu Tian, it would be strange to say that they don't know each other.

"Mr. Mo and I met at the charity gala before."

Lu Tian also opened his mouth to explain.

After saying that, he looked back at Yuan Qi's back and raised his lips, "Mr. Mo still has clients to talk to, so we won't interrupt him for now."

"Let's go."

He looked down at Ruan Xia, his voice was gentle, and he obviously didn't take Mo Tingye into consideration.

Mo Tingye stretched out his hand to stop the two of them. For some reason, he felt that Lu Tian seemed to be curious about Ruan Xia in a different way.

But this was not the time to talk about this. He put down his hand under Ruan Xia's doubtful eyes.

"See you tonight."

After leaving such words, Mo Tingye turned and left.

Ruan Xia didn't realize the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two at all, and was a little confused when she saw Mo Tingye leaving like this.

But she ignored it and directly urged Lu Tian to leave.

"Let's go."

Sitting in the car, the two of them were silent all the way.

"Miss Ruan..."

Just before Ruan Xia was about to fall asleep, Lu Tian spoke, sounding hesitant.

"explain."

Ruan Xia guessed that Lu Tian had something to say. When he opened his eyes, the sleepiness he felt just now was gone.

"Mr. Mo just told you to see you in the evening, you...?"

It seems that what Mo Tingye said just now gave Lu Tian a big impact.

"I am his personal bodyguard, but he pays me a lot."

Thinking of Mo Tingye's imperial aura, Ruan Xia almost drooled.

Although Mo Tingye hired her on the surface, she actually took the initiative to accompany him day and night.

"Have Miss Ruan ever thought about changing your boss?"

A trace of joy burst out in Lu Tian's eyes, and he quickly looked at Ruan Xia during the break at the traffic light, his face full of sincerity.

"Mr. Mo is famously strict in the industry. Judging from his attitude towards you just now, he must have always been in a superior position."

"Besides, he has always been withdrawn and takes advantage of most others. I think this is why he hired you."

"When you have no effect, he will kick you away."

After speaking, he saw Ruan Xia didn't respond and continued to speak.

"Miss Ruan, I don't want you to. Even if you come to my place, I will treat you as a friend. You have absolute freedom."

Lu Tian looked at Ruan Xia expectantly, looking forward to his reply.

Ruan Xia let out a long sigh and raised his eyes to look directly at Lu Tian. The soft light in his eyes was replaced by coldness.

"I found that your family members like to commit oral crimes."

"Whether he has friends or not, you can't say whether he is lonely or not. We are friends. I know him better than you do."

"Otherwise, why do you think I can help you with your home's feng shui today? If what you said is true, I should not be able to stay away from him now."

A few words suddenly made Lu Tian extremely embarrassed, and he could only laugh twice and try to explain.

Ruan Xia didn't give him this chance, "Stop ahead."

Although Lu Tian still wanted to explain, seeing Ruan Xia's cold expression, he obediently parked the car on the side of the road.

"I would like to advise you, watch your mouth, don't be like your aunt."

Seeing that Lu Tian had a good impression here before, Ruan Xia gave him such advice.

As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the car door and left gracefully.

Looking at Ruan Xia's leaving figure, the apology on Lu Tian's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a faint smile.

"You're actually protecting him? Interesting..."

The car Juechen left, and Lu Tian's last words were drowned in the wind.

Ruan Xia hailed a taxi and returned to Mo's house, originally wanting to track Xue Daoyang's current location.

But no matter how hard she tried, she was always enveloped in a fog.

When she finally resigned and came out of the room, Mo Tingye had been waiting for her in the living room for a long time.

Ruan Xia sat down directly next to him, quietly took a few breaths of the emperor's breath, and looked relaxed.

"Lu Tian is the client you said you were going to meet?"

Mo Tingye got straight to the point, with a hint of temptation on his face that he was not even aware of.

"Yeah, that day he praised me for being awesome and said that there seemed to be something wrong with the feng shui at home and he asked me to help him check it out."

"I thought that if I didn't make the money, it wouldn't be in vain, so I agreed immediately."

Ruan Xia's eyes lit up when he mentioned money.

"Did he say anything to you?"
