Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Lack of Discernment

Longdu Grand Hotel, the top-floor VIP suite.

The suite’s decor was entirely in the national style, centered around a valuable Huali Babao Table.

"This is the best hotel in Yandu, with top-tier suites like this one, there are a total of nine."

During the wait for the dishes, Murong Mingyue said with a smile, "These nine suites correspond to the nine major elite families of Yandu."

"They are normally reserved by the family heads to entertain distinguished guests, and thanks to you, I have the chance to dine here."

Qin Chuan was stunned, "Thanks to me?"

Murong Mingyue raised the gold-inlaid VIP card in her hand and blinked her pretty eyes as she said with a smile, "Before returning to Yandu this time, Grandpa personally handed me this VIP card and specifically instructed me to take you here for a meal."

Then she took out a bank card, "This card is loaded with Grandpa’s personal savings. He made it clear that all your expenses after arriving in Yandu are on him."

She said mysteriously, "Even I don’t know how much money is on this card!"

Qin Chuan suddenly realized and had to admit, both the grandfather and granddaughter had good taste, far better than the people from the Ye Family.

Moreover, he felt very comfortable when associating with people from the Murong Family.

"So, at the auction later, whatever you set your eyes on, just bid confidently. With the backing of Grandpa’s card, not to mention one Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, even ten Ksitigarbha Sacred Trees could be successfully won!"

Murong Mingyue said with a face full of pride.

Qin Chuan felt touched deep down, recalling how back in East Sea, Murong Mingyue had already gifted him a valuable Shen Nongding and numerous rare treasures.

Now, to help him win the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, she even brought out Murong Fu’s nest egg.

And all he had done was save Murong Fu’s life.

"Thank you!"

After a long while, Qin Chuan finally said these two words with a sincere face.

Murong Mingyue’s eyes suddenly lit up, back in East Sea, no matter how she showed goodwill, Qin Chuan always remained impassive, or even indifferent.

Now she actually saw sincerity on Qin Chuan’s face.

Murong Mingyue’s lips curved slightly upward, "Is that all you have to thank me for—just these two words?"

Qin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you want?"

Murong Mingyue’s eyes were seductive like silk, her gaze burning as she looked at Qin Chuan and licked her lips, saying, "I want you!"

Qin Chuan’s face turned red all of a sudden, his mind involuntarily flashing back to the image of Murong Mingyue standing naked before him in the VIP room of East Sea Premium Auction House.

This woman portrayed a distant and aloof business queen to the outside world—how could one guess that in front of Qin Chuan, she would be so alluringly captivating?

With both her figure and her looks being top-notch, plus her gold-rimmed glasses, she was the epitome of a pure yet carnal mature lady, irresistibly seductive.

Qin Chuan, a vigorous young man, could not claim to be unmoved.

It wasn’t until the knock on the door as the waiter came to serve the dishes that Qin Chuan returned to his senses.

After the waiter left the dishes and departed, what was supposed to be the end of an awkward moment was not over; Murong Mingyue kept her burning gaze on Qin Chuan and said, "You haven’t answered my question just now."

Qin Chuan didn’t dare to look at Murong Mingyue, instead using the act of picking up food to mask his embarrassment, while saying, "Miss Murong, don’t tease me."

"Call me Mingyue!"

Her eyes seemed to be dripping water.

Just one utterance from her could stir up the fiery passion Qin Chuan suppressed deep within.

Qin Chuan could feel that Murong Mingyue wasn’t joking but was dead serious.

He was clear that Murong Mingyue didn’t harbor any feelings for him, but rather it was his value that intrigued her.

For any family, even a small one in a little city, as long as they could get him, that family would soar to great heights, let alone a top-tier wealthy clan like the Murong Family.

"Mingyue, if there’s ever something you need me for in the future, just say the word. As long as it’s within my power, I will not refuse,"

After a moment of silence, Qin Chuan suddenly looked at Murong Mingyue seriously and spoke.

This was also a promise he made to Murong Mingyue, unrelated to romantic affection, owing to the sheer debt of gratitude incurred by the Shen Nongding.

After hearing Qin Chuan’s words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Murong Mingyue’s eyes, which was quickly replaced by a gleam as she rolled her eyes at Qin Chuan and said, "I was just kidding, do you need to be so serious?"

Qin Chuan didn’t respond, but used his voracious eating to cover his embarrassment.

Murong Mingyue, on the other hand, was quite at ease, continuously serving food to Qin Chuan.

Of all the dishes on the table, Murong Mingyue had only a few bites, while Qin Chuan ate most of them.

"What are your plans after bidding for the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree?"

Nearing the end of the meal, Murong Mingyue suddenly asked.

Qin Chuan replied, "After curing Ye Tiannan, I will return to Jiangcheng City."

Hadn’t he painstakingly arranged for the Premium Auction House to auction off his medical services just to fulfill his promise to Ye Qingwan?

Murong Mingyue suddenly felt somewhat unwilling to accept this and further inquired, "Haven’t you considered developing a future in Yandu?"

Qin Chuan shook his head without elaborating.

He still hadn’t completely dealt with the Kunlun Divine Poison in his body. Even with the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, it would just delay the outbreak of the poison.

Without fully resolving the Kunlun Divine Poison, he could not return to his peak condition.

He was well aware of how terrifying the powerhouses of Kunlun Divine Prison were, let alone the people who established it.

If those people found out that he was still alive in this world, with his current strength, he would only have a dead end.

The longer he stayed in Yandu, which gathered the strongest and most numerous martial artists of Shen Zhou, the greater the chance of being discovered by Kunlun Divine Prison.

Just when Murong Mingyue was about to say something else, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Mingyue, I didn’t expect it to really be you!"

A man in his early thirties walked in, his face lighting up with surprise upon seeing Murong Mingyue.

Upon seeing the man, Murong Mingyue’s expression instantly darkened, and she coldly turned to him and said, "Long Jieming, don’t you know the rules here?"

Long Jieming said with a smile, "Mingyue, given our relationship, do the rules really matter?"

The reason the Longdu Grand Hotel became one of Yandu’s top hotels, even setting aside private rooms for the Nine Gates of Yandu, stemmed from the Long Family’s promise that dining here would be free from any disturbance.

Without the approval of the guests inside a private room, even the Long Family Head couldn’t enter.

One could imagine the extent of Murong Mingyue’s anger at this moment.

Murong Mingyue pointed at the door and commanded sharply, "Get out!"

Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback; this was the renowned business queen of Yandu, wasn’t it?

Long Jieming was taken aback for a moment, then continued with a smile, "Mingyue, I am still your fiancé after all, you..."

But before he could finish speaking, Murong Mingyue assertively interrupted and shouted, "Get out!"

The smile on Long Jieming’s face vanished, chilling at a visibly fast pace.

His gaze shifted to Qin Chuan as he said in a cold tone, "You blind thing, aren’t you going to get lost?"
