Zhenxiu Pavilion, as the name suggests, is built on the bank of the lake and has a unique and charming scenery. When you dine in the attic and lean on the railing, you can take in the picturesque scenery. In the lake, small boats are swaying leisurely, and the lotus flowers in the pond are vying for beauty, which is a beautiful sight.

On this day, Huo Beixuan stepped into Zhenzhe Pavilion for the first time. As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the luxury and high-end of this place, and he couldn't help but worry about his not-so-full wallet.

Ning Xue went up to the third floor with ease. This was the top floor with an excellent view. She picked a table near the railing and they sat down one after another. When they looked up, the intoxicating lake view appeared before their eyes without any obstruction.

"The scenery here is very beautiful." Huo Beixuan couldn't help but admire.

"Of course. Zhenzhe Pavilion is not a place that ordinary people can afford. Not only is the scenery here charming, but the ingredients are also incredibly fresh. Most of the recipes are based on river seafood." Ning Xue responded with a smile.

They lowered their eyes and saw several interconnected wooden houses on the water built by the pond at the bottom of the building. That was the kitchen. The fish used here were freshly caught from the lake and tasted extremely delicious.

"The boss here is really good at business." Huo Beixuan praised sincerely.

"That's right, but the boss is too low-key. Until now, no one knows who the boss of this Treasure Food Pavilion is." Ning Xue said with a little curiosity.

At this time, the waiter came over to serve tea and asked them directly what they would like to eat.

Huo Beixuan looked puzzled, "Ordering food without a menu?"

The waiter quickly explained: "Sir, it's like this, most of the people who come here are regular customers, they are used to eating here and are familiar with the dishes, so they just order directly. There is also a menu, I'll go get it now."

"Forget it, that's not necessary, that's all!" Huo Beixuan thought he should just follow the local customs.

Ning Xue had been here several times, so she was very familiar with ordering dishes: "I want a steamed turbot, baked prawns, a stew with mixed vegetables, and two desserts."

"Okay, please wait a moment, gentlemen." The waiter responded.

Then, Ning Xue took out a silver ingot from her waist and said, "I want another pot of jasmine tea."

"Okay." The waiter took the silver with a smile on his face, turned around and went downstairs.

"Ms. Ning, it was agreed that I would treat you to this meal." Huo Beixuan said.

"It's okay. Just remember, when you get promoted, invite me again. Then, I will definitely not be polite to you." Ning Xue responded with a smile.

Huo Beixuan thought for a moment and did not insist. In fact, he knew in his heart that he was just afraid that the silver he had on him would not be enough to pay the bill. When he and Yunshang went out to eat in the past, they were very casual, the prices were not expensive, and Yunshang always paid the bill.

But now, even though he didn't pay for this meal, he would feel guilty if he ate such an expensive meal for free too many times. After all, the spending level of a rich girl is there, Huo Beixuan thought silently in his heart.

After dinner, the two returned to the Shangshu Mansion, and Ning Xue went straight to her father's study.

"Dad, Mr. Huo invited me to dinner today." Ning Xue said happily.

"Well! As a man, you must know what you want and understand what kind of woman is suitable for you. This is the most basic thing. If he can't see through this, then your support as a father would be in vain." Ning Zhenhua said calmly.

"Dad, how did you do it? Mr. Huo was so cold and ruthless to me before!" Ning Xue couldn't wait to know her father's trick.

Ning Xue was full of curiosity and looked at her father.

Ning Zhenhua stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "This is very simple. It is the same as having a man fall in love with me and having a lord take a liking to me."

His eyes were full of meaning, and he continued, "A smart woman is like a counselor. As long as she demonstrates her own value, people who appreciate her will naturally come to recruit her."

Ning Xue nodded, not quite understanding, and thought to herself: Is my value to let Huo Lang know that I can help him succeed in his career and rise to higher positions? Thinking of this, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Ning Zhenhua looked at his daughter, shook his head gently, and said earnestly: "You, don't always chase after others. Girls should be more reserved after all. Just keep a distance from Huo Beixuan."

Ning Xue replied obediently: "Yes, my daughter will remember it."

At the same time, in the Yun Mansion, Yunmu was having a long talk with Yunchang about today's events.

"Yun'er, I heard that Huo Beixuan brought Ning Xue to your store today?" Yunmu frowned, her face full of worry.

"Yeah." Yun Shang responded softly.

"This Huo Beixuan is really irritating." Yunmu couldn't help but complain.

"Mom, it's okay." Yun Shang comforted her mother with a faint smile on her face.

"Of course there is." Yunmu sighed, "Yun'er, don't hide it from your mother. It was obviously Ning Xue who brought Huo Beixuan home, and he had no choice."

"Yun'er! Huo Beixuan is now dating the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion. Mother is worried that he will embarrass you from time to time. It is really not easy to offend the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion." Yun'er said worriedly.

"Mom, I understand." Yun Shang nodded slightly, but there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Listen to mother, you should go to your grandparents' house and hide for a while. Come back after the storm is over." Yunmu held Yunshang's hand, her eyes full of concern.

"Avoid?" Yun Shang hesitated. To be honest, she was reluctant to do so. First, she was not familiar with her grandfather's house. Second, she felt too cowardly to leave like this.

"Mom, I know my limits, don't worry!" She responded, but her mind was full of thoughts.

"Listen to mother, you should go to your grandparents' house and hide for a while. Come back after the storm is over." Yunmu persuaded again.

Yun Shang thought to herself that this was a critical period in the development of the relationship between the hero and heroine. Given Ning Xue's personality, it was really possible that she would pull Huo Beixuan in front of her to show off from time to time. Thinking of this, she felt really annoyed.

The male and female protagonists are blessed by their halos. No matter how hard she tries to destroy it, they will eventually get together. As the supporting actress, she is ultimately unlucky.

"Mom, let me think about it." Yun Shang said slowly.

It's better to avoid it and go to my grandfather's place, maybe I can develop my career. No matter what happens to the male and female protagonists later, it's better to stay away from them than to worry here. I can live a peaceful life of my own.

"Will it be too much of a bother to my grandfather? If I go there, I won't be able to come back in a short time." Yun Shang asked with some concern. She was afraid that if she went there, she would be pushed back soon.

"Don't worry! Your grandparents are looking forward to you accompanying them!" Yunmu said happily.

Seeing that her daughter was willing to consider it, Yunmu knew in her heart that there was a great possibility that she would go.

It seems that Huo Beixuan still has some weight in her heart. No matter how she persuaded her daughter, she was unwilling to agree. Today, Huo Beixuan came with the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion, and she finally gave in.

"Okay, I'll think about it for a few days." Yun Shang responded, with a hint of confusion and expectation in her eyes.
