Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 500 Lunch at Lanqi’s House

South Wantina is located in the Wilford house at No. 25 Nosma Street in the northwest corner of Xinmai Plaza.

It was already twelve o'clock at noon, meal time at their house.

In this spacious and bright first-floor restaurant, the afternoon sun shines gently on every corner through the shadows of leaves on the windows.

There is an occasional breeze blowing in the courtyard outside the window, bringing with it the faint fragrance of the garden in the distance.

The long dining table inside the restaurant is covered with a fine linen tablecloth, accompanied by several exquisite embroidered flowers. Silver tableware and goblets have been neatly placed, and the dishes on the table are gradually being served from the kitchen. .

The head of the family, Noe Wilford, who was sitting in the main seat, looked as calm and majestic as ever, but when he saw Lan Qi, his eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

What is different today is that besides Lan Qi, there are two more figures sitting at the side of the dining table.

Beside him, Miss Tata was sitting upright, with a quiet look on her face, her hands gently folded in her lap.

Even though Hyperion, who was sitting farther away, looked like a noble lady at first glance, she seemed very reserved at the moment and was unwilling to raise her head.

The three of them sat in a row and didn't communicate much with each other for a long time.

Noe couldn't help but look at the three of them for a moment.

This is so intriguing.

Noe didn't even understand how the three of them were able to wrap themselves up in a ball on the ground in the morning. He just felt that the three of them were playing something very new.

Noe knows that there may be a generation gap between himself and young people.

Ranchi and Hyperion were both seventeen years old, and Tata looked no more than twenty-five. It was normal for young people to have some strange ideas, but Noe always felt that the relationship between the three of them was too surreal.

But now they were silent, and Noe felt it was hard to ask anything.

Just pretend you don’t know anything.

It's not a big deal.

The butler Hans and the maid Francine are very professional and will not spread the news about the family, and it is impossible for tomorrow's newspapers throughout the Hutton Kingdom to publish funny photos of the three of them entangled.

While Noe was thinking about it, the dishes that Lan Qi personally ordered for the kitchen today were still on the long table.

In addition to the colorful seafood platter, including fresh gooseneck barnacles, green trevally and blue sea sweet shrimps, everything is exquisitely arranged, followed by a baked dish made with black truffles and southern Ventina collard wild mushrooms. Rice, steak grilled until golden brown, tender and juicy, paired with grilled vegetables and exquisite black garlic sauce, and even hazelnut chocolate mousse with gold foil sprinkled on the outside, are all being served in advance, it seems that Lan Qi told After cooking, they will eat quickly.

Noe wondered why Lan Qi was so active today even though he didn't usually eat much.

Anyway, Miss Tata and Miss Hyperion are welcome to our home.

Seeing that it was almost time to start lunch, Noe said apologetically to the two ladies on one side of the long table,

I hope you will have a good time at Nanwantina. If Ranchi fails to provide good hospitality, on behalf of the Wilford family, I would like to apologize to you two in advance.

Thank you Mr. Wilford for your hospitality.

Tata nodded.

Her cold and dignified appearance made her look like a noble queen, which made Noe wonder for a moment whether the door of Ranchi's bedroom was actually a magic spell that opened it and saw impossible things. magic.

Thank you uncle.

Hyperion slowed down for a moment, recovered from her daze, looked at Noe and said.

Previously at the Icerita Health Center, she felt that Lan Qi's father was easy to talk to.

It just gets awkward every time I see him.

Okay, let's start eating. Just treat it as your own home and eat more.

Lan Qi said in a gentle voice.

He seemed to be comforting Hyperion, and happened to glance at Thalia beside him when he said the last few words, as if he had no other meaning.

...

Hyperion originally wanted to say something, but decided not to.

Fortunately, Tata can't read minds, otherwise she would occasionally read Lan Qi's scattered thoughts, but she pretended not to know, that would be really scary.

The exchange between several people ended, and the previous peace returned to the dining table. Only the occasional sound of a spoon touching a porcelain plate echoed in the dining room of the Wilford Mansion from time to time.

The steward stood quietly on the side, waiting for Lan Qi's instructions, and there was also a maid wearing a uniform black skirt with a white apron tied around her waist. They moved quickly and lightly to ensure that each time the dishes were served, they would not disturb the guests' dining.

Different from before.

Lan Qi was very entertaining when dining today, his gaze was just right, and he always paid careful attention to the needs of the two ladies. Whenever the waiter brought a new dish, he would use a simple gesture to ask them to put the plate down. Being closer to Hyperion and Thalia ensures they can easily sample every dish.

Dozens of minutes passed harmoniously in the restaurant.

After lunch at the Wilford family was finished, the servants began to clear the table, and Noe sat on the main seat sipping black tea.

He looked at the two women on Ranchi's right with confusion.

Lan Qi was actually right about what he said today. He finished all the dishes that were served.

Noe didn't pay attention just now, but according to the principle of conservation of total quantity, one of them may seem to be moving slowly and gracefully, but in fact he eats very fast.

Who on earth is it?

Noe was confused and embarrassed to ask.

If Lan Qi marries the lady who is more edible, the family will have to prepare more ingredients in the future.

Their family is quite wealthy.

Noe thought to himself.

In fact, Noe always felt that there was some possibility between Lan Qi and these two girls.

Unexpectedly, Miss Hyperion and Miss Tata knew each other.

What's even more strange is that when the two of them get along, they don't feel jealous... So who doesn't want to win?

They can't both be losers, then who is the main palace?

But Noe could tell that the girls Lan Qi knew were all good girls, and compared to Lan Qi, they were all very human, so there was nothing to worry about.

finally.

What are your plans for the afternoon?

Noe stopped worrying, put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at the three people and asked.

Although the atmosphere was better now than before the meal, Noe felt that the three of them were sitting together and there was still little communication, as if there was an untieable knot in their hearts.

I will check the progress of Ranchi's card maker, and then teach Hyperion new magic.

Thalia looked at Noe and answered seriously.

Oh, okay, please, Miss Tata.

Noe was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and quickly thanked him.

He knew that the card-making teacher that Lan Qi asked him for money to hire a long time ago was Miss Tata.

Less than half a year later, Noe went to the royal capital and learned that Lan Qi had become a quasi-platinum card maker. Everyone in Noe was dumbfounded.

On the one hand, Ranchi himself has a strange talent, and on the other hand, Tata teaches him well.

Putting aside the exaggerated results, just being able to discipline the naughty children in his family proved that Miss Tata was born to be a famous teacher.

This is what I should do.

Tata responded politely.

So far.

Noe probably also understood the relationship between Tata, Hyperion and Lanci in the royal capital of Icerita.

They must have always been together. Tata was teaching Lanqi how to make cards and at the same time teaching Hyperion magic.

However, since the relationship between the three of them is master and apprentice, why on earth can they be entangled together on the ground? Can this really be learned?

When Noe was thinking in a daze, it seemed that the doubtful look in his eyes was so obvious that the three people on one side of the table understood what he was thinking.

Huberian's cheeks suddenly started to turn red and she lowered her head.

Although Tata's expression was still cold, the hand on his lap was tightly clenched.

Lan Qi was still trying to instruct the attendants to serve some more snacks to prevent Tata from being half full when he suddenly felt the air getting chilly and sat obediently without moving any further.

There was an awkward moment at the dinner table again. Although nothing was mentioned about the morning, everyone knew that it was on everyone's mind at the moment.

After a long silence.

Let's go shopping in South Wantina.

Lan Qi said,

Tata, you taught us card making and magic. We will do our daily homework when we return to Icerita. It is rare to do it in Nanwantina these days, so just play without distractions.

he added.

If they stay in this house any longer, Tata aside, Hyperion may really not be able to stand it any longer and needs to take them out to relax.

After getting along for more than half a year, spending almost half of every day together, Lan Qi knew Tata and Hyperian very well. Unlike Tata, who could regain her mood after eating, Hyperian was more delicate in her thoughts.

Before Talia and Hyperion could reply.

Who do you want to go with?

Noe took a sip of tea and asked Lan Qi.

In his opinion, when dating a girl, you should be dedicated to it.

Although he felt that he might have asked a bit directly, he felt that both girls wanted to know the answer.

Thalia stared at Ranchi.

Hyperion was also a little nervous.

I want to be with them.

Lan Qi answered casually.

His eyes were innocent.

Like just wanting to go on a normal family trip.

The tea cup in Noe's hand paused in the air, a little confused.
