At five o 'clock in the afternoon on Tuesday, Lu Tao called Du Xiaoyu and asked, "Xiaoyu, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner. "
Du Xiaoyu answered happily, "I'm free! I'm free every day during this period of rest. As long as you ask me out, I'll be there. By the way, are you still in the village? Where are we going for dinner tonight? "
"Let's find a more secluded place to eat tonight. I have something to tell you. Later, you can take a taxi to the 'Old Farmer's Restaurant' in the eastern suburbs. The food there tastes better and the environment is good. If you arrive first, you can book a small room and wait for me. I may not arrive until around six o 'clock. "
When Du Xiaoyu heard that Lu Tao had something to tell her, she couldn't help but be shocked. Did he already know her true identity? If so, how should she explain it to him? Would he blame her for deceiving him?
It turned out that Du Xiaoyu knew that Lu Tao had a deep hatred for her father and brother-in-law. Although her father had taken the initiative to make peace with him, Lu Tao was a person who hated evil. If he knew that she was born in a mafia family, let alone dating her, she was afraid that they wouldn't even be friends.
But now, she had fallen in love with Lu Tao. In order to fight for a chance to be with him, she didn't hesitate to give up her life and work in the provincial capital and returned to Taolin County, which she didn't like. In order to prevent her father and brother-in-law from hurting Lu Tao again, she didn't hesitate to go against her mother's last words and her original intention and returned to the Liu family. In order to persuade her father to reconcile with Lu Tao, she called him "father" against her will, and also called Li Weijun, who she hated the most, "brother-in-law" …
She didn't tell Lu Tao all of this, and she didn't dare to tell Lu Tao because she was afraid that after Lu Tao knew the truth, he wouldn't understand her painstaking efforts and wouldn't accept her evil and notorious mafia family. She was even more afraid that he would think that she was the same as her two sisters, a shameless and unscrupulous woman who was willing to be someone's mistress …
Therefore, although she wanted to be with Lu Tao all the time, she was afraid of being with him because when they were together, it was inevitable that they would talk about each other's family and friends. If he wanted to get to the bottom of it, she would be very embarrassed. If she kept hiding it, he would be very angry when he knew the truth, and the consequences would be very serious. If she told him her true identity, with his hatred for the Liu family, he might immediately cut off contact with her. If that was the case, all her efforts's efforts would go to waste!
After thinking about it, she decided to hide it for the time being, at least, he wouldn't refuse to be with her now's. As long as there was a chance, she would find a way to make him like and love her. During this period, she could also secretly play the role of matchmaker and try to ease the relationship between him and her father, so that he would no longer hate the Liu family. When the two of them entered the honeymoon period, she would slowly tell him the truth …
What made her happy was that during this period of time, Lu Tao didn't suspect her real relationship with the Liu family, and he didn't even ask about her family situation.
She guessed that there were three reasons why Lu Tao didn't associate her with the Liu family. First, he had a preconceived impression that she was working alone in the provincial capital, earning a small salary every month, and had to perform at Yaqin Performing Arts Bar to earn extra money. Therefore, he must be from an ordinary or even poor family, and definitely wouldn't associate her with the Liu family, the richest family in Taolin. Second, she followed her mother's surname, Du, and not Liu, which would be hard for him to guess. Third, she once told Lu Tao that she also hated Liu Hong. Lu Tao definitely didn't think that his daughter would hate her father, so he didn't suspect her anymore …
However, even though Lu Tao was still in the dark, Du Xiaoyu knew that this wasn't a long-term solution. One day, he would know the truth. She had been silently hoping that this day would come later. It would be best if Lu Tao also fell in love with her and their relationship stabilized. Then, he would know the truth. That way, there might be a way to remedy it.
However, Lu Tao's call today made her feel a little panicked and uneasy. He suddenly took the initiative to ask her out for a meal, and he even wanted to find a secluded restaurant. Did he really know her identity?
With this kind of uneasy feeling, Du Xiaoyu took a taxi to the Old Farmer's Restaurant. She booked a small private room and sent a message to Lu Tao, telling him the room number. Then, she sat in the private room and drank tea uneasily while waiting for Lu Tao to come.
At six o 'clock sharp, Lu Tao pushed open the door and walked in. Du Xiaoyu looked at his face first. Seeing that he had a smile on his face and was greeting her as he walked in, she felt relieved. Looking at his relaxed and natural appearance, it was obvious that he was not going to talk to her about anything serious. It seemed that she was overthinking it …
After Lu Tao sat down, he asked enthusiastically, "Xiaoyu, have you looked at the menu? You can order whatever you want. "
Du Xiaoyu joked, "Can I really order whatever I want? Then if I order all the dishes on the menu, won't your heart ache? "
Lu Tao stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "There are less than twenty dishes in this restaurant, and the prices are very cheap. Even if you order all of them, they might not even be as expensive as the bottle of red wine you bought me last time. As long as you're happy, you can order all of them. You can try a little of each, and I'll take back the rest. Hahaha! "
Du Xiaoyu saw that he was laughing so happily, and the stone in her heart completely fell to the ground. She stuck out her tongue and smiled charmingly at him, "In your eyes, am I a gluttonous Taotie? If I really order so many dishes, the owner will think that two crazy people came! It seems like you eat a lot here. Just choose three or four tasty home-cooked dishes. Don't eat too much fish and meat. "
Lu Tao agreed and called the waiter over. He ordered "Steamed Pigeon with Gastrodia Tuber", "Pork Tenderloin with Green Pepper", "Braised Rice Field Fish", and "Fried Bean Buds with Chopped Pepper". Then he asked Du Xiaoyu, "Do you want to drink some wine?"
Du Xiaoyu didn't like drinking, but as long as she was with Lu Tao, she was willing to drink a little. She especially liked the feeling of being half drunk — because in this state, she felt the most relaxed and could say some things that she didn't dare to say normally. Moreover, she once secretly looked in the mirror. When she was half drunk, her face was the most delicate and beautiful. She was willing to show her best image and state in front of her beloved …
Therefore, when she heard Lu Tao ask if she wanted to drink, she nodded and said, "I can drink a little with you, but no white wine!"
