Upon arrival, Qiao Hua'er habitually walked behind Du Haofeng.
This was a classic display of an inferiority complex.
She had always felt she did not belong in the same world as Du Haofeng and had no right to stand by his side.
"Young Master Du, when did you change to such a handsome Maid? I'm so envious I could die!" the proprietoress winked at Du Haofeng.
She thought everyone knew what such Maids were for, so why keep up the facade?
Without offering an explanation, Du Haofeng said, "Hurry and find a private room for this young master. I don't want to be disturbed while eating."
"Right away, please lead Young Master Du upstairs to the best room we have!"
The proprietoress urged the waiter. Patrons like him were the most profitable for the restaurant, so they had to be treated with great care.
"Young Master Du, please!"
The waiter called out enthusiastically.
