Chapter 525: Conflict

Upon reaching Qingshui Restaurant, Ling Yun had Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao get out of the car, while he proceeded to find a place to park under the guidance of the valet.

The weather in Qingshui City was getting hotter by the day with the advent of summer, but this did little to dampen the spirits of tourists. Tourists poured in from every corner of the country, making the scenic sites in Qingshui City perpetually populated in every corner.

Qingshui Restaurant was bustling with business. In the vast parking lot were cars with license plates from every region, making finding a spot to park extra gruesome in this parking lot that was as thick as huckleberries.

After two months, Xue Meining once again came to Qingshui Restaurant with Ling Yun. As she stood at the entrance of the restaurant, she vividly recalled the first time she brought Ling Yun to dine.

Little demon girl couldn’t help but blush as she remembered that she was conned into giving her first kiss to Ling Yun. Funnily enough, mixed emotions of embarrassment and joy were stirring inside of her.

“Crazy girl, what are you thinking about?” Miao Xiaomiao asked her sister, teasingly.

Xue Meining first glanced at Ling Yun, who was parking in the distance, to make sure he couldn’t hear the conversation, then she turned to Miao Xiaomiao. “Big Sister, did you know? In the days that I’ve spent with Big Brother Yun, I feel as though I’ve been in a dream.”

Miao Xiaomiao couldn’t help but glance quickly at Ling Yun from far away. Shen then looked firmly at Xue Meining with a trace of heartache and pity. “Ning Er, you will suffer a lot if you fall for him…”

“I’m not afraid!” Xue Meining said resolutely, slightly shaking her head and lightly raising her slender eyebrows.

Miao Xiaomiao let out a sigh and stopped speaking. She long knew that Xue Meining was emotional and that her love for Ling Yun was deep-rooted and perpetual.

After substantial effort, Ling Yun had finally parked his car. However, he thought that it would have been better to park the car elsewhere and walk there.

Ling Yun hurried back and saw that the pair of sisters were still waiting for him at the entrance of the restaurant. “Why aren’t you two inside the restaurant? Do you want to stand here and become a landmark?” Ling Yun chuckled.

Indeed, both sisters stood around 175 cm tall and wore sleeveless silk dresses that accentuated their slim waists. The two pairs of creamy white legs exposed under the hot sun were a feast for the eyes of anyone that passed by the hotel.

“Waiting for you, idiot! Who takes so long to park a car?” Miao Xiaomiao grumbled coyly as she eyed Ling Yun.

“So you want to park next time?” Ling Yun laughed mischievously.

“No way am I going to be your driver!” Miao Xiaomiao laughed as she turned and clasped Xue Meining’s arm, heading into Qingshui Restaurant while saying, “The heat is killing us, we’re going inside.”

In the six-story Qingshui Restaurant, the top story was the most luxurious and had a unique open view of the scenery.

When the door opened, a female waitress who had an elegant, slender figure and was wearing a red cheongsam approached them. She spoke politely and with a professional smile. “Welcome, may I know which room the three of you would prefer?”

“Lakeview Hall,” Xue Meining said with a casual tone.

“This way please…” The beautiful waitress smiled sweetly.

As the name suggests, Lakeview Hall was the best and most expensive room in Qingshui Restaurant, its large surface area hosting up to ten people. It was grandiose and awe-inspiring yet elegant and serene.

Truth be told, the private room was a little extravagant for the dining of the three of them. Discounting the cost of the food, just the room itself cost more than three thousand yuan per hour.

Xue Meining naturally didn’t care about money, nor was she trying to flaunt her wealth The reason she had chosen the place was that she wanted to give Ling Yun a good place to recover for their first meeting in over a month.

The air-conditioning was already turned on inside Lakeview Hall, isolating the room as a cool haven within the scorching heat.

Ling Yun went straight to the spacious and luminous floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the boundless expanse of blue water and the Qingshui Lake, which sparkled under the radiant sunshine. He was free of mind and felt refreshed, as though all his troubles had gone away.

“The meal is on me today. The two beauties here may order all you want, forget about the cost.” Ling Yun, who brought more than five million yuan in cash alone, was confident and affluent in every sense of the words.

Xue Meining, Miao Xiaomiao, and even the beautiful waitress giggled together, directing their eyes towards Ling Yun.

Eating here, a pleasant atmosphere was of utmost importance, while eating itself had somehow become irrelevant. The two beauties eagerly ordered a steamed fish, three specialty dishes of Qingshui Restaurant, and four exquisite cold dishes. Finally, they ordered a soup and asked the waitress to place the order.

Once the waitress left, Xue Meining abandoned her lady-like demeanor and rose immediately, standing beside Ling Yun in the spot where they watched the flooding of Qingshui Lake previously.

“Big Brother Yun, do you think the waterspout will still appear at Qingshui Lake?” she asked in a daze as she reminisced about the striking scene that Ling Yun had brought her to see on Tiger Cliff.

With the dragon gone, so was the waterspout. “Probably not.” Ling Yun smiled as he shook his head.

Xue Meining wanted to say something, but she heard the beautiful waitress return with an apologetic tone as she said hesitantly, “Sorry to disturb you. We are really sorry, but there are a few very prominent guests who wish to eat in this private room. Would you all be okay with… switching to another room?”

Xue Meining frowned slightly as she looked up to Ling Yun, asking for his opinion.

“We are just here to enjoy a meal and won’t stay any longer than that. We can switch to a different room!” Ling Yun said cheerfully, not wanting to affect his surprisingly pleasant mood today.

Xue Meining, however, was unhappy. She held her temper and turned to explain, saying, “We have already reserved this room at the approval of your manager.”

She thought that it was difficult enough to finally have a meal with Ling Yun and that the hassle would dampen the pleasant atmosphere, so she stood as firmly as possible.

She was a kind soul and didn’t wish to land the waitress in an awkward position. Therefore, she took the time to patiently explain the situation to the waitress despite her brewing anger.

However, she was rudely interrupted in the middle of her explanation.

An obnoxious, arrogant voice rang out from far outside the door. “So what if you have a reservation? This room is no longer open today. If you wish to eat here, then quickly change to another room, otherwise get lost!”

Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao’s expressions changed at the same time, with little demon girl’s face turning from fine to cloudy.

Ling Yun furrowed his brow slightly. It was just a meal, and he had already agreed to switch rooms. Couldn’t Ning Er have a word of rebuttal?

However, his eyebrows relaxed instantly, and he lightly held Xue Meining’s shoulders. She was a word from rampaging. “Sit down Ning Er, we’ll wait for the dishes to be served,” Ling Yun smiled calmly and said.

It was really just a meal. Had the other party been more polite, Ling Yun would have offered the private room to them even if they didn’t appear. But seeing the aberrant demeanor of the person, Ling Yun had instead decided to stay.

Ling Yun sat directly in the main seat facing the doorway, waiting silently for the person. He was curious to see just how prominent the arrogant speaker was exactly.

If not for Ling Yun’s great mood just now, he would have hurled insults at the man and told him to scram.

A plump man of towering stature appeared at the entrance of the private room. Without stopping, he marched directly into the private room and shouted, “Why are you still here? Scram! Our boss and guests are arriving soon. Ugh… what a beauty…”

The man had entered with his chin up and nostrils pointing to the sky. However, on taking a better look at the two beauties in the room, he was astonished.

Ling Yun, an exceptionally handsome man himself, was… ignored by the fat*ss.

“I was wondering who it could be… So it was a barking dog.” Ling Yun sneered.

“What the f*ck did you just say? I dare you to say it again!” Provoked by Ling Yun’s audacity, the fat*ss exploded into a rage. He glared at Ling Yun, let out a loud roar, and was charging towards him.

Ling Yun didn’t want to bother with mortals who knew nothing about martial arts, but the unrelenting words of provocation had completely decimated Ling Yun’s good mood.

“Alright, my bad. Pig would be more suitable as a description.” Ling Yun actively admitted his mistake and sat upright in the chair, looking at the fat*ss with amusement.

Giggles ensued after Miao Xiaomiao and Xue Meining had heard him.

The beautiful waitress was flustered and anxious as she was at a loss for what to do next.

The fat*ss was flabbergasted, but he held back the impulse to attack Ling Yu. Had his boss and the guests arrived to see him fighting and making a mess, he would surely be in big trouble.

“Young chap, do you know who is dining at this private room? I advise you to be sensible and switch rooms while you still can!” the fat*ss warned Ling Yun, shooting penetrating glares at him.

He was thoroughly confident that no one in the entirety of Qingshui City would dare create trouble for his boss.

“I really don’t, and I can’t be bothered to know, but I’ll tell you this — I am not sensible, and I will not switch.”

“You! Fine, quite the guts you have, young chap. Let’s see if your audacity lasts later!”

The fat*ss was exasperated and dialed a number on his phone.

“Some pretty boy here insists on staying. Send a few people up and get him out of here!”
