Surprise! I'm pregnant with a rich heir

Chapter 19 I am Mr. Xi’s... friend

She couldn't help but sigh: "It's so expensive!" Forgive her petty mentality, she usually spends no more than two hundred yuan eating out, and now even if she adds a zero at the end it won't be enough.

Xi Xuanyao was amused by her reaction and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"I want to try the coconut scallop rice and chocolate tiramisu." Now that I'm here, I have to try the ones I usually eat to see if there's anything different.

Xi Xuanyao added a few of the restaurant's signature dishes and ordered five or six desserts. Considering that Ruan Yin was a pregnant woman, he added a soup at the end. He could place the order directly on the tablet, which was very convenient.

Ruan Yin whispered, "Isn't this too much? We can't finish it both of us." Xi Xuanyao's appetite is usually not as big as hers, so he will definitely not be able to finish this much.

"No, the portions are not big, and besides, you want to try the difference between desserts made by others and yours. Since you are here, just try a few more," Xi Xuanyao said calmly.

Ruan Yin didn't say much as she looked around the restaurant. It had a retro Western-style decoration, the seats were just the right distance apart, and soft lighting poured down. The atmosphere and romance could be displayed without a deliberate candlelight dinner. Opposite was the riverside, with sparkling stars, giving people a visual enjoyment.

The dishes were served very quickly. The waiter pushed a silent small dining cart over and put the food on the table one by one. It was so exquisite that people couldn't bear to eat it. The portion was really small. Ruan Yin tasted it and her eyes lit up. It was delicious. It was worthy of being a Michelin restaurant. The cooking time and taste complemented each other and made people exclaim. I must bring my mother and Ryan here to have a meal in the future if I have the chance, so that they can also taste the taste of Michelin.

Maybe because she vomited at noon and couldn't eat, she was hungry now, but she didn't have the familiar nausea in her stomach, so Ruan Yin ate boldly. The last dessert made her realize that what she had done was far from good enough, and she felt a little depressed for a moment.

Xi Xuanyao noticed it and asked, "Not to your liking?"

"No," Ruan Yin shook her head, "I used to think the desserts I made tasted OK, but now I've tried the ones made by the chef, and they're far worse."

"I think you're doing okay, but if you're worried, I can ask someone to teach you," Xi Xuanyao proposed a solution.

"Would it be too much trouble?"

"No!" Xi Xuanyao remained calm.

Suddenly, a female voice with mixed feelings of surprise came from the side, "Brother Xuanyao?"

The two looked up in the direction of the voice and saw a dignified and elegant girl wearing a Chanel white lace knee-length dress and high heels of the same color. She looked at Xi Xuanyao with surprise.

Ruan Yin felt a little uncomfortable. They were calling each other so intimately. What was their relationship? She lowered her head to put on her desserts while pricking up her ears to listen to their conversation.

Xi Xuanyao simply called out: "Miss Shen"

Shen Lanxi's eyes dimmed for a moment. They had known each other since childhood. Even though she had gone abroad to study in high school, they should not be so unfamiliar with each other. The word "Miss Shen" inexplicably distanced the relationship between them.

Looking at the face that was almost the same as in her memory, Shen Lanxi sighed: "You are still the same, distant, cold, and unkind." Then she glanced at Ruan Yin and said, "Would you like to introduce me?"

Seeing that Xi Xuanyao didn't answer, Ruan Yin slowly put down the spoon, curled her lips and said, "I am Mr. Xi's...friend Ruan Yin." She didn't know what Xi Xuanyao's attitude was, so it was safer to say friends.

Xi Xuanyao originally thought that there was no need to answer, but when he heard the word "friend", he frowned and said nothing.

"Hello, my name is Shen Lanxi, and I grew up with Brother Xuanyao." When she said this, her tone was filled with a kind of intimacy that outsiders could not interfere with. Her every move and gesture was completely like the demeanor of a noble lady, and her tone was gentle yet superior.

This was the first time that Ruan Yin met someone from a wealthy family other than Xi Xuanyao, especially since this person was Xi Xuanyao's marriage partner as mentioned in the entertainment news. The atmosphere felt a little depressing for a moment.

Xi Xuanyao didn't seem to notice it at all. He wiped the corner of his mouth slowly and asked Ruan Yin in a gentle voice, "Are you full?"

Seeing Ruan Yin nod, he said, "Let's go then." Shen Lanxi nodded and said, "Excuse me first."

Shen Lanxi watched the two people's backs gradually going away, and a bad thought flashed through her mind. Was she back too late? Didn't her aunt always say that Xuanyao was single? When did such a woman appear by his side? She must find out what their relationship is.

Thinking of this, she called Han Miaoyun and said in a gentle and generous voice: "Auntie, did I disturb you?"

"How could that be? Don't bother me." Han Miaoyun was surprised that she called him, but she was still polite. She hadn't contacted him for a long time since the last time.

Shen Lanxi smiled, "I'm glad I didn't bother you. I'm really sorry for what happened last time. I had already arrived at the hotel, but Aunt Zhou called me away halfway. She said she felt a little uncomfortable and asked me to take her back. I'm a junior, and I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I had to take her back to the old house. You won't blame me, right?"

Han Miaoyun's chest rose and fell with anger, her eyes were full of rage, she knew that Zhou Yan, this bitch, was ruining her plans, if it weren't for her, her son and Shen Lanxi would have been married, the marriage between the two families would be a done deal, maybe they would have grandchildren, thinking of this, she wanted to slap that pretentious face, wait, how did she know that she had drugged her son? And how could she intercept Shen Lanxi in time.

She looked around at the servants in the villa with suspicion and decided that she would ask them clearly later. If anyone dared to betray her, she would never tolerate it.

"Aunt?" Shen Lanxi asked when she saw that there was no sound on the phone.

Han Miaoyun immediately came back to her senses and said, "How can I blame you? You didn't mean it."

"It's my fault for letting you get a beauty treatment there alone. Next time I'll treat you to a meal, you can't refuse." Shen Lanxi's tone was so sincere that it was hard to refuse, so Han Miaoyun naturally agreed.

Shen Lanxi's smile deepened, and she got to the point: "By the way, you weren't lying to me when you said Xuan Yao didn't have a girlfriend, right?"

"Of course not. You know I've always wanted to bring you two together. If he had a girlfriend, I would never have mentioned this," Han Miaoyun denied.

Shen Lanxi hesitated: "But..."

"But what?" Han Miaoyun looked at her hesitating and asked impatiently. Then, she seemed to remember the joke about love at the family dinner, and a layer of gloom rose in her heart.

"I saw him dining with a girl at a Michelin restaurant. Maybe I misunderstood. They are just friends."

"What girl?" Han Miaoyun asked anxiously.

Shen Lanxi deliberately said: "I thought you knew me, but something happened to me. Let's talk next time we meet. Goodbye, auntie."

"Hello" Han Miaoyun was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone. She hated it most when people spoke half of the truth and concealed the other half.

After thinking about it, she called her son, but the tone was busy. Thinking that Zhou Yan's matter was more urgent, she asked the housekeeper Wu Ma to gather the servants in the villa. Soon, more than 20 people were standing in the living room.

Han Miaoyun glanced at them one by one with a cold gaze and asked, "What were you doing on May 5th? Did you see anyone else come to the villa?"

A group of people looked at each other in bewilderment. Who could remember so clearly what happened more than two months ago? All they heard was a word of coercion from above: "Speak!"

"No, ma'am, we were doing our own things as usual that day, and we didn't see anyone coming to the villa."

Everyone spoke up, fearing that if they were a step slower the lady would suspect that they had let someone in without permission.
