The manager nodded to Huo Tingrui reverently when he walked in and asked him. “Do you want to take a private room or sit in a booth in the main hall?”


  “A private room, please.”


  “The main hall, please.”


  Huo Tingrui and Huo Yao spoke one after another.

  The manager glanced at the two of them before he coughed and said, “The main hall then. I recall the private room isn’t ready to receive guests.”


  The boss had instructed them to focus on Miss Huo Yao.

  Huo Tingrui glanced at the manager.

  Since the private room was not ready, why did the manager bother asking them about it?

  Their father had clearly given the employees special instruction behind Huo Tingrui’s back about prioritizing Huo Yao’s wishes. Huo Tingrui noticed it right away.

  Ever since his little sister came home, the Huo family’s sons’ statuses had diminished so much that they could not even eat in peace!

  Huo Tingrui felt it was about time that he had a little chat with his parents. Since they were their biological sons as well, Song Ning and Huo Jinyan should not embarrass them in front of the employees.

  The manager failed to detect Huo Tingrui’s looks. Instead, he walked up to Huo Yao and was only interested in serving her. He said, “Miss…… This way, please.”


  He almost accidentally called her Miss Huo out loud. The boss had told them several times to keep a low profile and not let Huo Yao know about the Huo family’s businesses.

  Although the manager did not know why their boss gave them such mysterious instructions, Miss Huo’s behaviour seemed rather adorable especially when she did not know that the restaurant belonged to her family.

  Huo Yao was a little puzzled why the manager addressed her as ‘Miss’. Also, this delivery man would instinctively greet her that way whenever he saw her.

  It felt terribly odd.

  Huo Yao touched her nose before she followed behind the manager.

  Shortly after they entered the restaurant, two patrons who were refused tables for not having a reservation said angrily, “The two of them came in after us and didn’t have a reservation either. How could you let them in?”


  “Why could they get to choose between the hall and the private room, but not us? How could the restaurant be such a snob?”


  The hostess’s courteous smile instantly froze when she heard what the patrons said.

  Why could they get to enter? They could enter because they were the restaurant owners’ children.

  The hostess did not bother explaining. Instead, she said coldly, “You are absolutely right. We are snobs. Why don’t you go to a restaurant that does give a damn about you?”


  The guests’ faces instantly flushed crimson and they left from there, muttering curses.

  Although Huo Yao had gone far, she had sharp ears, so she overheard every word they said. She could not help finding the matter to be odd.

  After taking their seats, the restaurant manager served them the finest tea before leaving.

  He treated them particularly respectfully.

  Huo Yao placed her elbow on the table and put her chin in her palm as she looked at Huo Tingrui. “Don’t you think this restaurant’s service is a little too good?”


  Huo Tingrui took a sip before putting down the teacup. “That’s normal. Don’t you know this restaurant belongs to us?”


  Huo Yao’s face froze instantly. “What was that again? Can you repeat that? I think I heard wrongly. Who did you say owned this restaurant?”


  Huo Tingrui’s lips twitched. “This restaurant belongs to the Huo family.”


  The restaurant belonged to the Huo family. She highlighted the words mentally.

  Huo Yao felt that she was imagining things.
