"Alright!"
Ye Qiu didn't bother with Ning Rongrong's question of whether he could do it or not, shrugging his shoulders indifferently and agreeing.
A smile that felt like a warm spring breeze played on his face.
It's not like he was paying anyway.
As for whether he could do it, he'd prove himself later by making her cry, wouldn't that be easy?
"Okay! Let's go then."
Seeing Ye Qiu agree, a cunning glint flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she secretly rejoiced.
Ye Qiu appropriately played along, a look of worry on his face.
Addressing Ning Rongrong, he reminded her, "Just so you know, that place looks expensive. Don't order too much, or I won't be able to pay."
"Hmph! Don't worry, this lady has boundaries. I won't eat you broke!"
Ning Rongrong patted her small chest.
As if remembering something, she fumbled around on herself, then it was flat!
Suddenly furious, she blushed and awkwardly put her hand down.
In her heart, she had already decided.
She wouldn't eat Ye Qiu broke, but she would bankrupt him!
She was determined.
She'll order some expensive signature dishes to go halfway through the meal and sneak off!
The sun was setting, its remaining rays like swords, stretching across the sky.
\n\n
Not long after.
Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong arrived together at the entrance of the Soto Grand Hotel.
The grandeur was visible to the naked eye.
The steps were made of seamless marble, as smooth and white as jade, and the door frame was inlaid with colorful gems.
The four welcoming ladies at the door were also pleasing to the eye.
They looked to be around 20 years old.
She was about the same height as him, with a beautiful face and a slender, graceful figure. She wore a white floor-length dress embroidered with silver threads, giving it a touch of elegance. Her face held a professional, gentle smile.
"Welcome to the Soto Grand Hotel!"
As the two entered the hotel, four young women greeted them with sweet voices.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but glance over, appreciating their appearance.
"Hmph! You lecher!"
Ning Rongrong snorted in displeasure.
Ye Qiu's gaze, which had been focused on their faces, shifted downwards, and he raised an eyebrow at Ning Rongrong.
"..."
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, feeling stifled and furious. Her face darkened.
This jerk!
Why does he keep biting at that spot?!
Even though she was displeased, Ning Rongrong could do nothing about it, so she obediently walked inside.
While Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong were on their way to the private room, Ah Yin was alone, processing the impact of the trendy knowledge Ye Qiu had brought.
In the endless darkness.
In the dead silence, came a rapid breathing sound.
Ah Yin gently pressed her delicate hand against her chest, curled up in the corner.
Her crimson, full lips opened and closed, her face like a peach blossom, her eyes filled with shyness and gentle charm.
Those pieces of knowledge lingered in her mind.
Even now, her body still felt warm, not cold in the endless darkness, and she felt a bit restless and ashamed.
She couldn't help but recall Ye Qiu's mischievous grin.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was leading Ning Rongrong, following behind a young woman down a long corridor.
The walls on both sides were adorned with dragon and phoenix carvings, along with various Soul Beast reliefs. Every few steps, there was a door. Numbers were inlaid on them with crystal, shimmering with light.
A female attendant stood in front of each door.
Ye Qiu feigned concern.
"I didn't expect there wouldn't be any dining hall here."
"Relax, relax. This young lady told you, I won't let you spend too much."
Ning Rongrong waved her hand, a smile plastered across her face.
"So, do I have to thank you now?"
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed.
It wasn't that he thought the private room was expensive. He was already trying to figure out how to make a quick escape.
Under the guidance of the staff,
the two of them arrived at a small private room. The number on the door was 'six'. Ye Qiu thought it was quite fitting, considering he was about to become the sixth wheel.
The environment inside the room was rather simple. A warm-toned chandelier hung above the dining table.
In the corner, there was a piece of high-quality agarwood, adding a touch of classical elegance to the room.
As soon as they sat down.
Ning Rongrong grabbed the menu and, with a smile, looked at Ye Qiu, asking, "Ye Qiu, since you're treating me to dinner, can this young lady order?"
Ye Qiu said indifferently:
"I'm the one apologizing, so you can order whatever you want."
He said this, but his gaze was still fixed on her with a hint of nervousness.
As for how much of that nervousness was genuine…
That was something the innocent little enchantress would have to figure out for herself.
Ning Rongrong was looking down at the menu, her eyes slightly raised, and a hint of cunning appeared in them.
Ah Yin was very satisfied with Ye Qiu's performance.
Her fingers, like slender scallion roots, tapped on the menu, gesturing.
Very professional.
"This stir-fried seasonal vegetables, this sautéed century-old boar meat, and this sweet and sour pork, and the oyster and silver abalone soup."
Ning Rongrong quickly rattled off a string of dishes.
She glanced up at Ye Qiu, seeing his expression was normal, and after a moment of thought, she didn't add any more dishes. She put down the menu in her hand and said to the waitress beside her:
"Alright, that's all for now. Please bring them out as quickly as possible."
"Yes, please wait a moment, honored guests."
The waitress respectfully agreed and then left with tiny steps.
"I didn't expect you to order just these few dishes."
Ye Qiu looked at Ning Rongrong with some surprise.
He had thought Ning Rongrong would just wave her hand and order everything on the menu.
It seemed he had underestimated Ning Rongrong a little.
But just a tiny bit.
"Hmph! It's not like this young miss is worried you can't afford it, or anything!"
Ning Rongrong pouted, but she was secretly chuckling in her heart.
The prices here weren't cheap; she was afraid of scaring Ye Qiu off.
All she had to do was order some dishes midway through and then leave. She was confident that Ye Qiu wouldn't be able to cover the bill, even if he sold his underwear!
Ye Qiu chuckled softly.
He didn't think Ning Rongrong, that little devil, would let him off so easily.
If he didn't take action, he would be the one in trouble.
Looking at the tea on the table, a transparent glass teapot with a few thumb-thick ginseng roots steeping inside,
Ye Qiu's dark eyes flickered.
He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.
Since he was about to leave anyway, he might as well have a drink of water.
Ye Qiu smiled, savoring the flavor.
Slightly bitter, yet sweet, with the unique medicinal aroma of ginseng lingering in his mouth.
"Hey! Ye Qiu, how can you be so rude? You have no gentlemanly manners at all."
"Where's my tea?"
Ning Rongrong tilted her pretty face, her knuckles gently tapping on the table, full of arrogance.
Compared to Ye Qiu, she was much more impolite.
But Ye Qiu figured he was about to swindle a large sum from her, so he didn't bother to make a fuss.
"Alright, I'll pour you a cup then."
"Hmph, you know what's good for you."
Ning Rongrong swayed her jade-like feet, her small hand propping up her delicate face as she slowly sipped the ginseng tea.
Ye Qiu drank his tea.
At the same time, he gazed at Ning Rongrong's pretty face.
After half an hour, Ye Qiu had already drunk several cups of tea, but his gaze remained fixed on Ning Rongrong, not shifting at all.
Ning Rongrong's face flushed, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing Ye Qiu pour himself another cup of tea, she was about to continue savoring the tea and admiring the… well, the view.
Ning Rongrong couldn't hold it back any longer!
I wish everyone a happy life!
