380: Chapter 380: Someone by Your Side 380: Chapter 380: Someone by Your Side “Boss Chen, you take a seat first.

Xiao Cui is still in the kitchen preparing the dishes.

I’ll go check on it,” said the old man as he warmly invited Chen Yang to sit down upon entering the house.

Chen Yang, following the old man’s suggestion, took a seat by the coffee table.

Then the old man headed to the kitchen.

The old man’s kitchen was separated from the living room, so Chen Yang couldn’t see what was happening in the kitchen from where he sat.

After sitting for about two or three minutes, the old man came out with a big basin of lobsters.

Just by looking at the size of the lobsters, Chen Yang knew they were the ones he supplied to the old man.

Only his lobsters were of such a size.

“Old man, using my lobsters to treat me, you really can, can’t you?” Chen Yang said teasingly with a smile.

The old man laughed as well, “Boss Chen, although the lobsters are yours, the way I cook them is my own specialty.

I guarantee you won’t taste this flavor if you make it yourself or go out to eat.”

The old man was quite confident in the lobsters that he had prepared.

After placing a full basin of lobsters in front of Chen Yang, he immediately urged, “Go ahead and try it, Boss Chen, it’s really delicious.”

“Sure.”

Chen Yang, without any hesitation, picked up the bowl and chopsticks the old man had prepared earlier and began to dig in.

Although Chen Yang had tasted the flavors of the old man’s shop before,

he couldn’t help but praise this time.

“Indeed, old man, your way of cooking lobster is truly unique.

It tastes great,” praised Chen Yang.

“Haha.”

Hearing Chen Yang’s compliments, the old man let out a proud laugh and then picked up the bottle of white liquor that was on the table and opened it.

He then poured Chen Yang a full glass.

“Boss Chen, before we start eating officially, let me toast to you first, to thank you for the big favor you did for me!” the old man said, raising his glass.

Seeing the old man’s reaction, Chen Yang frowned slightly.

He wondered if this was the trend now, or what?

Was everyone doing this?

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then picked up his glass and drank with the old man.

Chen Yang had come today with the intent to eat and drink, so he didn’t give it much thought.

If the old man said to drink, then drink they would.

Soon, the two of them got into the spirit of things.

Sitting by the coffee table, they enjoyed drinking, eating, and chatting—it was incredibly comfortable.

And their conversation flowed really well.

They could chat about anything.

After all, when men gather to drink, it’s mostly about shooting the breeze and talking about current affairs.

Before they knew it, it was midnight.

By that time, the table was almost cleared of the lobsters, rice, and other dishes.

As for the white liquor, only empty bottles remained.

Although Chen Yang could hold his liquor, after several bottles, he felt a bit overwhelmed.

He was getting muddled.

“Old man, I really enjoyed the meal, but it’s getting late, so I should be heading back,” said Chen Yang as he staggeringly stood up, wanting to go home.

But at that moment, the old man grabbed him.

“Boss Chen, look at you, you’re all woozy.

Why go home?

You’re staggering even as you walk, let alone drive,” the old man said.

“I think it’s better for you to stay the night at my place.”

The old man suggested with a smile.

Chen Yang shook his head, realizing that was indeed the case.

He felt rather groggy, although he was still somewhat conscious.

But driving in such a state would be far too dangerous.

“Stay at your place?

That doesn’t seem quite right,” said Chen Yang, tempted but still a bit courteous.

“Ah, what’s wrong with that?

It’s just for one night,” replied the old man as he laughingly pulled Chen Yang back to his seat, and the two of them continued to banter for a while.

In the end, Chen Yang agreed to the old man’s offer to stay the night at his house.

“All right, just wait a moment, I’ll go fill the bath for you,” said the old man, his eyes lighting up with a look of anticipation, though it was subtle.

But it wasn’t very noticeable.

Chen Yang wasn’t paying attention.

He just sat on the sofa, waiting for the old man to come back after turning on the water.

After a few minutes, the old man returned.

“Mr.

Chen, why don’t you take a bath first?

I’ll go prepare the bed for you, so you can go straight to sleep once you’re out,” the old man said with a smile.

“Okay, thank you,” replied Chen Yang as he stood up, expressed his gratitude, and then headed for the shower room.

Watching Chen Yang enter the shower room, the old man walked into another room.

The room’s light was dim, almost imperceptible to the human eye.

“Xiao Cui, after I leave tonight, you’ll have to manage on your own at the shop.

Whether it works out or not is up to you,” the old man told the darkness of the room.

“Mmm…

I understand, Dad,” came Xiao Cui’s response from within the room.

Afterward, the old man closed the door with a swing.

He then sat on the sofa, waiting for Chen Yang to come out.

About ten minutes or so passed, and Chen Yang came out from his bath.

The bath seemed to have cleared his head somewhat.

But he still felt groggy.

“Old man, which room is mine?” Chen Yang asked.

The old man stood up from the sofa and pointed to the room he had recently shut.

“Sleep in that room; I’ve made the bed for you.

Just lie down and sleep,” the old man said with a smile.

“Alright then.”

Chen Yang nodded and was about to push the door open to go to sleep.

But at this moment, the old man who had stood up suddenly picked up some keys and started walking towards the front door.

It looked like he was heading out.

Chen Yang, with his senses somewhat alert, noticed the old man was leaving and curiously asked, “Old man, where are you going?”

“I’ve got some things to take care of at the shop.

I’m going to check it out.

You go ahead and sleep; I’ll be back shortly,” the old man replied.

“Oh, okay.”

Chen Yang didn’t doubt the old man’s words at all.

He didn’t realize that he was being duped.

Watching the old man leave, he thought nothing of it and went straight to the room the old man had pointed out.

As he pushed the door and entered the room, Chen Yang immediately smelled a faint fragrance.

It was the kind of scent you’d find in a young girl’s boudoir.

This puzzled Chen Yang.

Why would such a scent be in the room?

Although Chen Yang was puzzled, given that he had drunk quite a bit, he was feeling very drowsy.

He didn’t have the energy to think it over, he just wanted to fall asleep immediately.

Groping around in the darkness, Chen Yang found the bed and stripped off his clothes to lie down right away.

As soon as he lay down, he didn’t notice anything unusual.

However, after tossing and turning a little, Chen Yang touched something smooth and warm.

“What is this?” mumbled Chen Yang, and then he reached out towards that smooth, warm thing.

This touch took Chen Yang completely by surprise!

Lying beside him was a stark-naked person!

“Who’s there?”

Realizing there was someone next to him, Chen Yang immediately sat up.

He stared wide-eyed, fixating on the other side of the bed.

Although it was very dark in the room, Chen Yang’s eyes were bright.

On closer inspection, he could see who it was.

It was Xiao Cui!

“Xiao Cui…

What are you doing here?” an instinctively shocked Chen Yang asked, then recalling the scent he had noticed on entering, he slapped his forehead and said, “Sorry, I didn’t realize this was your room.

I drank too much and must have gone into the wrong room.”

At that moment, Chen Yang still didn’t realize this was the old man’s doing.

He thought he had just remembered the wrong room, the one the old man had pointed out being different.

Suddenly, he hurriedly got out of bed and started putting on his clothes, intending to leave.
