Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 390: Secret Marriage Succeeds! The Not-So-Proper Dinner

Seeing Mrs. Nalan being so enthusiastic and choosing the most expensive and prestigious place, Qin Xin was quite moved.

This lady seemed quite different from the domineering and difficult wealthy mothers-in-law in the rumors.

How to put it, it’s like having experienced the world yet still maintaining boundless enthusiasm and innocence, the exclusive taste of a particularly happy woman.

Qin Xin smiled and didn’t hold back: "Thank you, Auntie. What type of restaurant do you prefer? Next time, I’ll treat you."

Mrs. Nalan quickly replied: "No need, no need, it’s not easy for you young people to make money, don’t treat me. From now on, I’ll treat you. Oh, my birthday is next month, you must come. I want to introduce my lovely daughter-in-law to my friends and family then."

Qin Xin looked at Nalan Ye Jue in surprise.

Worried he hadn’t informed his mother about their secret marriage.

Nalan Ye Jue gave her a reassuring look, then took over the conversation: "Mom, how can you force someone to attend a birthday party and demand a birthday gift?"

Mrs. Nalan, feeling wronged, said: "I just want to have dinner with Xinxin, I’m not asking for gifts. I don’t want birthday gifts from Xinxin, just her presence is enough."

Nalan Ye Jue continued with a stern face: "That’s not right, how can there be a birthday without gifts? Unless you don’t want to throw a big birthday party, just a few familiar elders at home, the ones who attended the engagement banquet would suffice."

"Ah—" Mrs. Nalan was slightly disappointed.

Her eager heart to show off her daughter-in-law was quite hit.

However, as long as her daughter-in-law was willing to come to her organized dinner, she could compromise.

Mrs. Nalan nodded: "Alright, alright, I won’t expand the scope, just the closest relatives and maybe one or two friends, is that okay?"

Nalan Ye Jue reluctantly hummed: "In the future, keep it low-key externally, don’t reveal Xinxin’s identity, she’s still a student, and it would be inconvenient if people found out she’s married at school."

This time, Mrs. Nalan nodded vigorously: "Makes sense. I won’t say, I won’t say."

Only then was Nalan Ye Jue satisfied, turning to give Qin Xin a deep look: Is the young lady satisfied?

Qin Xin was dumbfounded, watching the entire performance of Mr. Nalan digging a hole for his mother. At this moment, she had only one thought: a man who can reach the level of a domineering CEO truly has a systematic approach to everything, full of tricks!

Just a couple of casual sentences not only dispelled Mrs. Nalan’s idea of a grand birthday party but also made her happily agree to their secret marriage purpose.

Amazing!

The car headed towards the Imperial Mansion.

On the way, Qin Xin couldn’t help but be curious: "Auntie, is Uncle busy today?"

At the engagement banquet, Mrs. Nalan and her husband seemed enviably in love, yet today they were not together.

Mrs. Nalan said mysteriously: "Today’s meal and topics we’re discussing aren’t suitable for him to know. Oh, he’s so serious, let’s not let him know we’re dining out."

Qin Xin was bewildered: "..."

Could it be that what they’re eating today is something "not so proper"?

This time, when she looked at Nalan Ye Jue, he only gave her a meaningful glance without solving her confusion.

It wasn’t until they were seated in the hotel.

Seeing what was on the prestigious menu personally ordered by Mrs. Nalan...

Qin Xin finally understood what Mrs. Nalan meant by "not so proper" food.
