161 It Must Be a Special Fate
On the way to Woodleaf Café.
Lu Xiaoya was caressing the butterfly jade pendant that Ye Feng gave her along the way, and she had a sweet smile on her face.
“We’re here.”
Ye Feng stopped the car and pointed at the store in front.
The café named ‘Woodleaf’ looked very old from the outside.
Looking at the signboard and decorations, it looked very much like the style of Hong Kong films from the 1970s and 1980s.
“Are you sure this is the place?”
Ye Feng turned to look at Lu Xiaoya. He did not understand why she came all the way to this broken place to eat.
“Yeah, the desserts here are delicious. Let’s go, my treat,” Lu Xiaoya said and got out of the car first.
Ye Feng had no choice but to follow.
Lu Xiaoya found an outer seat on the first floor.
She skillfully ordered a few refreshments.
Then, she started to chat with Ye Feng.
“Ye Feng, do you think the eldest sister’s daughter’s illness can be cured?”
“It should be able to.”
“Yeah, I think so too. That big sister looks like a lucky person.”
“…”
“Ye Feng, do you think the desserts here are delicious?”
“It’s alright.”
“I also think it’s quite delicious. I like the shrimp dumplings, phoenix feet, and golden sand shrimp-tail red rice sausage here.”
“…”
“I heard that the principal of Zhonghai University has a daughter, right?”
“I don’t know.”
“I heard it from someone else. I heard that his daughter is an outstanding one.”
“…”
Lu Xiaoya kept trying to find a topic to talk about.
However, she was clearly not interested in the topic itself. She just wanted to make the atmosphere less awkward.
And Ye Feng noticed that while she was talking, she was also looking at the pink watch on her wrist.
Her eyes were still constantly looking outside.
It was as if she was waiting for someone.
When he noticed this, Ye Feng could not help but feel puzzled.
However, there was something that he was even more puzzled about.
Most of the people who were eating in the restaurant were also constantly looking outside.
They didn’t seem to be here to eat, but to wait for someone.
“Are you waiting for someone?”
After noticing this detail a few times, Ye Feng could not help but ask.
“Ah? I don’t think so,” Lu Xiaoya denied it subconsciously.
“Then can we talk serious business now?”
Ye Feng saw that she was not willing to tell him, so he did not ask further and just wanted to get to the point as soon as possible.
“Serious business? What serious business?”
Lu Xiaoya was a little confused.
“Didn’t you tell me last night that you have something to discuss with me today?”
Ye Feng could not help but roll his eyes.
“Oh… Yes, yes, yes, I have something important to talk to you about. What was it?”
Lu Xiaoya tilted her head and started to think.
Ye Feng was completely speechless.
With this tempo, did she ask him out before she even figured out what was going on?
“The business I’m talking about is…”
Lu Xiaoya was about to speak.
At this moment, the door of the tea restaurant was suddenly pushed open.
An old man with a refined temperament walked in under the protection of a few bodyguards.
Lu Xiaoya’s eyes brightened. The person she had been waiting for had finally arrived.
Ye Feng turned around and was stunned.
The old man was none other than Tan Bohong.
When Elder Tan walked in, everyone in the restaurant surrounded him.
“Hello, Mr. Tan. I’m the chairman of Changmang Real Estate. Nice to meet you…”
“Mr. Tan, I’ve been treating you as my idol all these years. Can I have your autograph?”
“Hello, Elder Tan. Do you still remember me? Last time at Changfeng Industry’s reception, we even talked…”
The group of people seemed to be chasing after a star as they surrounded Elder Tan in three layers.
“You’re also here for Elder Tan?”
Ye Feng finally understood Lu Xiaoya’s purpose for coming to this restaurant.
“Yes.”
Lu Xiaoya scratched her head in embarrassment.
“Do you have something that you need Elder Tan’s help with?” Ye Feng continued to ask.
“Ah? I…”
Lu Xiaoya was stunned and was about to deny it.
Ye Feng had already grabbed her hand. “Then, let me introduce you.”
He squeezed into the crowd with Lu Xiaoya.
Tan Bohong was getting impatient.
He always had a habit.
Every afternoon, he would come to this café for afternoon tea.
Many people had grasped this habit of his and would come here every day to wait for him, hoping to make friends with him.
And this, made him extremely annoyed.
Seeing that it was the same today, Tan Bohong was about to leave with a smile when he suddenly heard someone speak again. ” Hello, Elder Tan, I…”
Before the man could finish his sentence, he was pushed away by the bodyguards.
Tan Bohong was about to leave under the protection of his bodyguards.
He suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar.
He hurriedly turned around.
Then, he saw Ye Feng being pushed back by the bodyguards.
“Little Friend Ye?”
He quickly stopped the bodyguard and asked Ye Feng to come over.
Then, he saw Lu Xiaoya who was beside him.
Tan Bohong immediately looked surprised.
Ye Feng did not notice his expression. “Elder Tan, I…”
He was about to introduce Lu Xiaoya to Elder Tan.
Just then, he heard Lu Xiaoya call out, “Grandpa.”
“Grand…”
Ye Feng looked at her in shock.
She had just called Tan Bohong… Grandfather?
What was going on?
Tan Bohong pinched Lu Xiaoya’s nose lovingly. “Little girl, why are you here?”
Lu Xiaoya held his arm and nudged him affectionately. “I missed you and wanted to come and see you. Can’t I?”
Tan Bohong laughed out loud. “Do you think you can hide your cunning from me? You wouldn’t have appeared in front of me if you had nothing to ask me for.”
Lu Xiaoya started to act coquettishly. “Grandpa, how can you say that about me? I’ve always been thinking about you.”
Tan Bohong put on a straight face. “Alright, tell me. What’s the matter?”
Lu Xiaoya immediately became serious. “Grandpa, let me introduce you to someone. His name is Ye Feng, and he’s my good friend. He’s been in some trouble these two days. Can you help him?”
Tan Bohong heard this and turned to look at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng also looked at him with a strange expression.
At this moment, an old song started playing in the dining room.
“It must be a special fate that made us a family…”
