Chapter 172 - The two little friends who fell out of favour

The next day was a sunday. For the first time, Lu Shaoting forgot about his plans with Little Jia. He had promised to pick her up today and take her and Tangtang somewhere fun but he forgot all about it. Because of that, the little girl felt like she had fallen out of her uncle's favour and sulked all morning.

'Did Little Jia do something wrong?'

'Is it because Second Uncle does not love me anymore?'

'Could it be that he now loves Tangtang the most?'

How could Lu Aotian not know what his precious little princess was thinking? He picked her up lovingly. "Princess, second uncle is busy today. Daddy will take you and mommy to the zoo, okay?"

The little girl nodded happily, but she secretly planned to fight it out with Tangtang for stealing away her uncle. She did not know that in the Xu family home, Tangtang was crying and throwing a tantrum about not being able to reach his godfather.

...

While being fussed over by his two little friends, the star of the day, Lu Shaoting, was currently trying on the best clothes possible. Since he woke up, he had been preparing for his date and he did not even know where he tossed his phone.

The stylists had it rough. All afternoon, they had to try their best to please this overlord and convince him that he looked handsome in any set of clothes. His looks were blessed by the heavens after all. Still, he had to make sure that his hair, clothes, shoes and accessoires were all perfect. Only when he admitted that he looked handsome enough did they heave a sigh of relief and wipe their sweat.

At the agreed time, Lu Shaoting did not send someone to pick Su Ling and went over himself.

The girl was obviously surprised to see him. Unlike his own tuxedo that was screaming of romance, Su Ling was wearing a pure white dress that made her look like his younger sister instead.

He was expecting her to wear something suitable for a date with a boyfriend and was slightly displeased, but he thought that perhaps she was just being reserved. The most important thing was, she looked pretty.

Lu Shaoting opened the passenger seat for her like a gentleman before going round to his driver's seat. He he, it's a good thing he kept watching his brother's actions towards Wan Jia. Although he had never had a girlfriend before, he would not embarass himself.

He took her to Emerald Grand Hotel. It was the second largest hotel owned by Lu Enterprises and apart from the luxurious heavenly accomodation, it was no exaggeration to say that their restaurant was also the second best in the capital. Most importantly, Emerald Grand Hotel had been his test project for entering Lu Enterprises years ago. Looking at it now, it was really worth his hard work.

"It's beautiful." Su Ling smiled as she looked around. She had never been to such a beautiful place all her life.

Lu Shaoting felt proud of himself. "Wait till you taste the dishes. You will want to hire all the chefs to be your personal cooks."

"Well, I believe you." Just with the restaurant's appearance alone, she would enjoy the food even if it was boring.

Following his prior notice, a private room had already been arranged for them. They had even decorated it according to his instructions and the atmosphere was quite romantic.

When they sat down, a waitress elegantly handed him a bouquet of red roses which he took and presented to her nervously. "For you."

Su Ling took it and thanked him with a smile. Very soon, the dishes were served.

Lu Shaoting took the chance when she was elegantly eating the food to whip out his phone and add his brother and best friend into a chat group.

Shaoting [Bros, when is the right time to confess my feelings? I'm on a date.]

Xu Laiowen was the first to comment. [Our little Shaoting is on a date? No wonder you stood my son up. Do you know how much he cried?The poor boy hasn't eaten a thing all day]

Shaoting [This is an emergency. I'll buy Tangtang a toy later and explain, okay?]

Xu Liaowen [The other party does not want to help you.]

Shaoting [Liaowen! Who was it that helped you pass love letters to your wife back in high school?]

Xu Liaowen [Pwah hah hah! Don't you find it comical? You help your bros get together with their wives while you remain single yourself? Ha ha, have you even ever been laid?I guess you don't even know how to kiss a girl? Ha ha!]

Just as Lu Shaoting was about to detonate in anger, Lu Aotian replied. [When she has feelings for you.]

When she has feelings for you....indeed, he did not have to confess today. Otherwise, if it failed then they could not even be friends. If he waited and built his friendship with her first, then he would have higher chances of succeeding. After all, not every man was like his brother who could charm a woman off her feet in the first meeting.

Mmh... brother was still the wisest! It was no wonder he and Wan Jia were a very strong couple!
