Shen Yan finished tying up the accounts, only to see Liang Zhaowan standing in place, staring at her.

Confronted with Liang Zhaowan's ambiguous smile, Shen Yan suddenly lost her previous momentum. She clung to Liang Zhaowan's arm and murmured softly, "Let's go, Wawan. I'm hungry."

Liang Zhaowan remained silent, simply following the movements of Shen Yanzan's hairpin as they walked away. It was unclear whether it was a figment of his imagination, but Shen Yanzan felt a certain inexplicable meaning in the way Liang Zhaowan looked at him.

Suddenly feeling a bit panicked, what should I do?

Originally, Shen Yan Zan thought that Liang Zhao Wan would just casually take her to a small restaurant for a meal. However, she didn't expect that Liang Zhao Wan would actually bring her directly to the luxurious Yu Ling Long Hotel.

The Yulinglong Grand Hotel is the best hotel on Fanan Street. A single meal there can cost a sky-high price, and it's not even guaranteed that you can secure a reservation. Among the lower to middle-class elite circles, there exists a group of people who take pride in treating their guests at the Yulinglong Hotel.

In the original host's memory, there was one New Year's when Father Shen actually brought her and Mother Shen along, but it was only that one time.

Shen Yanzan's footsteps faltered a bit. Just the two of them, her and Liang Zhaowan, would they really go to such a fancy restaurant to eat?

The growing unease in Shen Yanzi's heart became increasingly apparent, and her steps became slower and slower. Finally, Liang Zhaowan stopped and asked, "Why aren't you moving?"

"I... I don't think we need to come to such a nice place just to have a meal," Shen Yanzi said cautiously, afraid that Liang Zhaowan might think she was being excessive. Shen Yanzi added, "I'm not really that hungry either, just a bun will do."

"There are buns here," Liang Zhaowan said.

The key is that the problem really has nothing to do with the steamed buns! Does Liang Zhaowan truly not understand, or is she doing it on purpose?

Shen Yanzan was about to say something, but then he saw a waiter from the Yulinglong Hotel walking out and making a beckoning gesture towards Liang Zhaowan, saying, "Miss Liang, your private room is ready."

Liang Zhaowan didn't respond to the waiter's words. She turned her head and said to Shen Yanzan, "The private room is reserved. If you don't go, wouldn't it be embarrassing for everyone to see me?"

Letting others laugh at Liang Zhaowan? That's not acceptable! Shen Yanzan couldn't hesitate anymore. He grabbed Liang Zhaowan's hand and walked towards the hotel, with the waiter hurriedly guiding them.

The waiter led Liang Zhaowan and Shen Yanzan to a private room called "Peony Pavilion" and then left. Liang Zhaowan pushed open the door of the private room and led Shen Yanzan inside.

As soon as he entered, Shen Yanzan was stunned. There was a woman sitting in the private room, wearing a black cheongsam. She exuded an air of nobility and elegance. With just a glance, Shen Yanzan felt that her brows and eyes bore some resemblance to Liang Zhaowan.

What the hell? What exactly is going on now?

There was a faint speculation in Shen Yan Zi's heart, and she forced herself to squeeze out a proper smile. In a calm and unhurried manner, she subtly adjusted Liang Zhao Wan's skirt.

"Wanwan, come over here," the woman glanced at Shen Yanzan and beckoned to Liang Zhaowan. Her voice sounded calm, but there was an unmistakable undertone of irresistibility.

Liang Zhaowan did not follow the woman's words. She pulled Shen Yanzhan forward slightly and then spoke, "Zhan Zhan, let me introduce you. This is my mother."

Miss Liang, the current issue is why your mother is here! Shen Yanzan was silently mocking in her heart, while maintaining the graceful and gentle smile expected of a high-class socialite on her face.

Luckily, although the original owner was a bit of a slacker, she did remember everything she was supposed to learn in the etiquette class. Otherwise, she would definitely embarrass herself in front of Mrs. Liang today.
