I was just an ordinary person, but somehow I ended up dressed as a female celebrity.

Chapter 59 Qinyuan

After buying birthday gifts, Lin Tingshen and Ling Xia returned to their car.

Lin Tingshen glanced at his watch. "It's lunchtime. To thank you for your help, would it be alright if I treated you to a meal?"

Ling Xia felt like her boss was playing hard to get.

Is it just my imagination?

It seems she didn't help much; she just picked out a gift, the kind anyone could give.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

She didn't eat breakfast because she was rushing to catch her flight this morning. She planned to go straight to eat after getting off the plane, but then she was inexplicably dragged here. Now her stomach is growling loudly and she's protesting vehemently.

I don't know if the boss heard it. If he did, it's kind of a disaster.

The car started moving, heading north.

We drove from the bustling commercial street all the way to the suburbs. The traffic wasn't too heavy, and finally the car stopped in front of a charming, antique-style building.

There were also servants dressed in ancient costumes in front of the gate.

Before getting out of the car, Ling Xia heard Lin Tingshen explain, "My family and I usually like to eat some light and special dishes in this courtyard."

"The dishes are very good, you can try them."

Just then, a light drizzle began to fall.

It's not very big, but the density is not small.

Normally, Lingxia enjoys taking a walk on the street with an umbrella, finding the scenery quite charming.

As he got out of the car, he took a black umbrella from the servant waiting at the door.

He turned to look at Ling Xia in the car, and linked arms with her, "Let's go."

He hunched his shoulders slightly and leaned forward, making it easy for Lingxia to take his arm.

The umbrella perfectly shielded the two from the light drizzle.

As she passed the main gate, Ling Xia deliberately bent down to look at the plaque. Above the house hung a plaque with a black dragon pattern as its base, with the two large golden characters "Qinyuan" embedded on it.

As Xia entered through the main gate, she suddenly felt that the scenery inside was exceptionally beautiful, as if two modern people had traveled back to ancient times.

As they continued walking, they encountered many waiters dressed in ancient costumes. Whenever they saw Lin Tingshen and Ling Xia, they would stop and bend down.

We'll be changing to two different young masters soon, Miss.

Those in the distance remained silent.

When Ling Xia heard such mysterious words, she glanced at Lin Tingshen out of the corner of her eye. Lin Tingshen's expression did not change, as if he was used to hearing them.

As they passed a pavilion, they encountered a very dignified woman. She was wearing a red cheongsam, and judging from her demeanor alone, she looked just like a wealthy lady from the Republican era.

However, she stood out among the crowd of people dressed in ancient costumes.

This person clearly has status.

Is she the owner of "Qinyuan"?

While Ling Xia was speculating, the woman in the cheongsam also saw them. Seeing Ling Xia enter arm in arm with Lin Tingshen, she looked at Ling Xia with some surprise, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

"Xiao Shen, why don't you introduce this girl to me?"

Judging from their tone, they must know each other very well.

She is my older sister, playmate, and business partner.

"She is Ling Xia," Lin Tingshen introduced her formally.

The woman in the cheongsam glanced at Lin Tingshen, then greeted Ling Xia with a smile.

"So you're Ling Xia. Xiao Shen has mentioned you before."

The woman in the cheongsam looked Ling Xia up and down with great interest, "She really is a great beauty, otherwise..." Her words trailed off.

Lin Tingshen coughed, and the woman in the cheongsam rolled her eyes at him. "Let my nephew take you to a private room. Order whatever you like. This is my property."

That's a very comprehensive statement.

The boss actually mentioned her. What did he say about her?

When was it said, and why was she mentioned?

And this beautiful woman in a cheongsam is his aunt.

really!

It doesn't look like it. To outsiders, the woman in the cheongsam looks more like Lin Tingshen's older sister.

Ling Xia was extremely surprised. "How is that possible? You look like his sister. I wouldn't have guessed if you hadn't told me."

The woman in the cheongsam covered her mouth and laughed when she heard Ling Xia say that.

"People say he looks old, and I look young."

Ling Xia burst out laughing; the boss's aunt was just too funny.

Ling Xia smiled and looked at Lin Tingshen, while Lin Tingshen looked helplessly at the two women who were laughing so hard they were bent over.

……

The two ate in a private room. The food was really good, delicious, not greasy, and each dish tasted authentic.

Lin Tingshen's aunt did not come to the private room to continue talking to them, probably because she was afraid that being too enthusiastic on their first meeting would scare away the little girl that her nephew had finally managed to bring back.

Ling Xia eats quickly, a habit she developed while filming on set. She watched Lin Tingshen eat.

Lin Tingshen was well-mannered and usually didn't talk while eating. He would occasionally chime in with a few words, and he would chew slowly and carefully. This was probably related to his work style, as he liked to devour his prey bit by bit.

"My aunt isn't around often. It was just a coincidence today. I didn't mean to keep it a secret," Lin Tingshen said, taking a sip of tea as he explained to Ling Xia about running into her aunt today.

Lingxia nodded. "Your aunt is very beautiful, has a great personality, and is very warm."

He leaned back in his chair and said seriously, "Then you haven't seen what she was like when she was young and rebellious."
