Chapter 271: Compensation

“Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin smiled gently and put Rainy down. Her daughter automatically pulled at the edge of her mother’s clothes. She looked at the cake in Xia Ruoxin’s hand and licked her lips. She wanted to eat it.

Xia Ruoxin walked towards the only unoccupied table. Before she could sit down, a waiter came over to the table and stood before her and Rainy.

“My apologies, but this table has just been reserved.”

He explained apologetically as he looked at Xia Ruoxin and the innocent little girl by her legs. He felt like a sinner just by making the child stand. However, he could only say lady luck was not on their side. Of course, they had the right to sit at that table. However, coincidentally, a regular called in and reserved it.

Rainy stared at the table. She then looked at Xia Ruoxin and pulled on her clothes tightly.

“It’s okay. Let’s find another place to sit.” Xia Ruoxin took her daughter and sat by the steps. She put Rainy on her lap and held the cake in one hand.

“Come, Rainy. Eat.”

She put the cake before Rainy. Actually, they had no preference as to where to eat the cake, and they needed to return to the hospital after that. The couple could have the table. They might need it more than herself and Rainy.

“Mommy, eat.” Rainy gave Xia Ruoxin’s hand a push to put some distance between herself and the cake. However, her bright eyes continued to stare at the cake, the girl licking her lips frequently.

“I’m not hungry so you can have it yourself. If you don’t finish it, I will be angry.” Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter’s cheek and proceeded to feed her a mouthful at a time. She really wanted to eat it, too. Then again, she would save this slice for her daughter.

At this time, the restaurant’s door opened again, and a charming couple entered. The man who was wearing a suit—dashing and elegant—while the woman was pretty in her designer clothes. They were made for each other; a match made in heaven.

“Lui, luckily you called in advanced. Otherwise, we won’t have a table. They are so packed today.” Li Manni counted mentally as she looked around. Is everybody celebrating their birthdays today?

Chu Lui entered. He would not do something without a plan. A man who was shrewd and calculative would naturally ensure that he had made all the necessary arrangements, and that included their itinerary and this small detail of securing a table.

“Mr. Chu, Mrs. Chu, may I have your orders?” Clearly, they were regulars here. All the staff was surprisingly welcoming and familiar to them upon their arrival.

Chu Lui handed the menu to Li Manni who was sitting opposite him. “Order whatever you feel like having.” With that, he sat and casually crossed his legs. He looked so extraordinary that even a few younger women were stealing glances at him. However, he already had a female companion by his side. Thus, they couldn’t do anything but peek.

“What about this, Lui? What do you think?” Li Manni had selected a beautiful two-tiered cake. The cake was exquisitely made. It required a lot of skills and dedication to make such a beautiful one. Naturally, it would cost a lot of money, too.

“Okay, we’ll have that one.” Chu Lui nodded with no objection. She could have whatever she wanted today, and he wouldn’t voice any opinions. He would give her exactly what she wanted today. It’d be his compensation to her for neglecting her for the past few days.
