"Waiter, not all of our party has arrived yet, so why has the food already started to come out?" Lin Ruoyun's tone was polite but carried an undeniable confusion.
The waitress's voice was gentle yet held a definite confidence as she explained with a smile, "A young lady informed us. She said that you and the gentleman had arrived and that we could start serving the dishes."
Lin Ruoyun and Pei Jingchuan exchanged a glance, surprise evident in both of their eyes.
"Young lady?" Lin Ruoyun's voice was tinged with puzzlement, could it be...
Pei Jingchuan's brow furrowed slightly as he seemed to rapidly go through the possible scenarios in his mind.
Seeing their reaction, the waitress softly added, "It was the pregnant lady who came with you. She especially emphasized that this meal was for the son and mother to enjoy together."
This explanation was like a key, unlocking the fog in their minds.
