The couple suddenly understood: "Oh! Exploring restaurant options!"
Lu Yuwen finally spoke unhurriedly, his smile carrying just the right hint of bashfulness:
"It's like this, before opening a new branch, I want to get a better understanding of popular local restaurants. Going alone might attract suspicion, and since I don't have other friends here, I was hoping Su Man could accompany me."
His gaze was gentle as he looked at Su Man and said slowly, "I just don't know if Su Man is usually very busy and whether it might interfere with her work..."
"No matter how busy she is, she still has to eat!" Su's mom responded with a big smile, agreeing on her daughter's behalf, "As long as she's not on night duty, after work you two can go for dinner together."
Lu Yuwen nodded slightly and asked Su Man, "When do you get off work tomorrow?"
Su Man replied, "Seven o'clock."
Lu Yuwen smiled: "Alright, let's contact by phone at seven tomorrow, okay?"
Su Man absentmindedly nodded her head.
