Chapter 954: Chapter 458: Gu Qingxiang, Have You Missed Me?

Hilton Hotel, front lobby.

Zhang Ye stood listlessly behind the front desk, mechanically greeting the guests coming in and out with a "hello".

Although the guests were all wealthy, not many were handsome.

Zhang Ye thought back to Lin Baici. During the New Year, she had sent a carefully composed New Year wish to him, but he didn’t reply at all.

This made Zhang Ye feel a bit down. But then again, she thought, someone like him probably didn’t lack female friends on Wechat. What was she in comparison?

"Zhang Ye, oh Zhang Ye, you can’t think about these things. You need to work hard, be a diligent worker, find a loving husband, have children, and build a happy family."

"Zhang Ye, oh Zhang Ye, you can’t always dream of catching a wealthy bachelor. An ordinary life can be happy too."

Zhang Ye motivated herself, and then she saw a tall young man with a suitcase walking through the hotel’s revolving doors.

It’s him!

Lin Baici is here!

Even before he approached, Zhang Ye already flashed her sweetest smile and greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Lin, good afternoon!"

"Sister Ye!"

Lin Baici called out as she passed her ID card over: "Check-in, please!"

"Sure!"

Zhang Ye received the ID card with both hands, and after a few keystrokes, she completed the process. She then came out from behind the front desk, reaching out to take Lin Baici’s suitcase.

"Mr. Lin, let me take you to your room!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Baici didn’t bother with the polite refusals since he knew he couldn’t decline the offer.

Click-clack, click-clack!

Zhang Ye led the way, her black high-heeled shoes tapping crisply against the floor.

"Mr. Lin, did you enjoy the New Year?"

Zhang Ye pressed the elevator button and held the door open with her hand. She waited for Lin Baici to enter before following in. Instead of standing shoulder to shoulder with him, she stood against the elevator’s right wall.

"Happy!"

Lin Baici responded with a slight smile. How could he not be happy?

After a trip to Busan, he had eaten a God, recruited a Dragon-level maid, and acquired many Great Divine Graces and Top-tier Divine Prohibitions.

He had struck it rich!

Seeing Lin Baici’s genuinely hearty smile, Zhang Ye couldn’t help herself. With a touch of envy, she teased, "Did you go on a vacation with your girlfriend?"

She must have guessed that spending New Year with his parents wouldn’t bring him such joy!

Lin Baici originally intended to deny it but then thought that saying so might be unfair to Jin Ying. After all, the Goryeo girl had never asked him to acknowledge their relationship.

"Hmm!"

Lin Baici nodded.

"I knew it!"

Zhang Ye slightly curled the corners of her mouth. But then, remembering the couples that came to the hotel, she felt better again. If wealthy people didn’t indulge, what was the point of having money?

They reached the 28th floor. The elevator door opened, and Zhang Ye continued to hold it for Lin Baici. She stepped out after him and then hurried a few steps ahead to lead the way.

Zhang Ye was wearing her uniform dress along with black stockings. Because she was walking so fast, her skirt-wrapped hips swayed with each step.

[She’s doing it on purpose!]

[A piece of chewing gum to keep boredom at bay. Something to chew on to pass the time.]

[Don’t worry, she’s not crazy and knows her boundaries. She won’t pester men hopelessly, and she surely won’t tell your girlfriend.]

Commented Eater God.

"..."

Lin Baici was speechless. What did Eater God take him for?

But truth be told, Zhang Ye was quite a beauty. At Haijing Polytechnic, she might not be the most beautiful, but she would definitely be the belle of her class.

Moreover, after a few years of social polish, she gained maturity and allure beyond that of college girls, knowing how to exhibit the charms of a woman.

Such attentive service from a beauty like her did give Lin Baici a sense of superiority, especially now that his salary allowed him to casually stay in five-star hotels, he felt even more confident.

The meal was worth it because he had worked for it!

Room 2808. Zhang Ye opened the door. Normally, after describing the amenities, she would leave, but this time, she took the initiative to enter the room. She fetched slippers for Lin Baici and opened the window to air out the room.

"Thank you!"

Lin Baici smiled faintly, remembering the New Year greeting Zhang Ye had sent him. He didn’t reply because they didn’t have much in common.

"If you need anything, call the front desk or my cellphone, and I’ll be at your service 24 hours a day!"

After saying this, Zhang Ye was ready to leave with the door ajar.

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Baici opened his suitcase and took out a set of cosmetics, handing it over to Zhang Ye.

Since staying at the hotel without bringing anything seemed too conspicuous, he had simply stuffed some items into his suitcase.

"I can’t accept this, it’s too valuable!"

Zhang Ye quickly refused. As a girl who often browsed Xiao Hongshu and seeing the duty-free shop’s packaging bag, she immediately knew what was inside and guessed where Lin Baici had gone for winter vacation.

As expected, he’s Jin Ying’s loyal hound!

But on second thought, they did seem well-matched.

"Just keep it!"

Lin Baici tossed it to Zhang Ye. Such a small amount of money was but a trifle to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Zhang Ye didn’t refuse any further.

After she returned to the front desk downstairs, two female colleagues approached her.

"You came back so quickly? Mr. Lin’s stamina isn’t that great, huh!"

Lu Liting, with her short hair, joked. They saw plenty of couples checking into the hotel during their work.

"Did he give that to you?"

Zhu Mingyu, with her long hair, looked at the bag in Zhang Ye’s hand and suddenly exclaimed, "That’s a Weather pill! I’ve seen it on Xiao Hongshu. It costs over three thousand yuan!"
