The head chef was trying to flatter Su Luo. He gave almost all the credit to Su Luo and didn't even mention that he was the one who invented the recipe.
"Wow, Miss Su is so amazing. Even a chef with more than 20 years of experience couldn't handle it. She did it so easily. As expected of Mr. Su's daughter."
"Mr. Gu is lucky to have a wife with good cooking skills. I'm sure he eats such delicious food every day."
"Miss Su, why don't you consider developing into the food industry in the future? I will eat in your restaurant every day."
...
Although everyone gossiped about Su Luo's private life, they still flattered Su Luo.
Su Luo didn't want to take the credit, so she told them the truth, "Actually, I only adjusted the flavor. The chef is the one who created this dish."
"Sigh, Miss Su, please don't be modest. I can't make it taste this good with my recipe. That is all thanks to you."
The chef did not take the credit. He complimented Su Luo again.
Su Luo had been modest and didn't want to take the credit alone, but Gu Xi said proudly in a loud voice, "My mom is so amazing. She can make so many delicious dishes. Thank you for praising my mom!"
Gu Xi's cute act amused everyone, and the banquet resumed.
The stew was the first dish that was empty at every table. After everyone finished eating, they felt that they had not eaten enough. Unfortunately, they did not know when they would be able to eat this dish again.
Su Luo was in a good mood after being praised. But when she ate this dish, she felt a slight change in the taste, as if someone had added something to it.
Perhaps the head chef added some seasoning after her.
Su Luo guessed.
The banquet was not over yet after the meal. Elegant music sounded in the hall, and they danced.
Actually, it was the time for the business world's tycoons to socialize.
Everyone could dance, drink, and chat to expand their connections.
Su Luo glanced in the direction of the dance floor. There were already many people dancing there.
That was the scene in Su Luo's dream. When she was reading novels, she had always fantasized about being able to dance slowly with the male lead in the middle of the dance floor.
She imagined herself putting her hand on his shoulder, and the male lead put his arms around her waist. Step by step, they could dance together with perfect rhythms. It felt dreamy even when she only imagined it.
Su Luo looked at Gu Zhan and asked, hoping he could agree. "Gu Zhan, will you dance with me?"
It was rare for Su Luo to be interested in something, so Gu Zhan agreed unconditionally. "Okay."
The two of them walked to the middle of the dance floor, holding hands. They stood in position and started to dance slowly to the beat of the music.
At first, Su Luo was afraid she might step on Gu Zhan's feet. After all, she had only learned dancing when she was in college physical education class, so she didn't have much practical experience.
However, she didn't expect that she and Gu Zhan could dance well. It was as if they had planned each step of the dance. So, they danced naturally.
The more they danced, the more engrossed they became. Su Luo and Gu Zhan's focus was on each other, and they didn't notice that the people beside them had stopped. The other formed a circle around the couple and watched them dance.
Putting her rumors aside, many felt Su Luo looked beautiful. She had a good figure. When she stood beside Gu Zhan, who looked handsome and tall, their appearance was eye-catching.
Everyone was stunned. The relationship between these two was not as bad as the rumors said. Instead, they were like a sweet newlywed couple.
Some people were envious, while others were annoyed. They could not stand Su Luo's rumors. As well as those who had other thoughts about Gu Zhan, they gathered and gossiped about Su Luo.
"Don't look at how loving they are now. Yesterday, Miss Su was still clamoring to elope with Mr. Lin."
"That's right. Su Luo and Gu Zhan are pretending to be a loving couple in front of others to protect the reputation of the two families. Everyone, don't take it too seriously."
"If you ask me, for a woman like Su Luo, she might not even know who the father of the twins is."
