Chapter 303: Chapter 306: This is My Meal Card

When it was time to pay the bill, Wang Qingqing initially rushed to stand up to pay, but Xiao Yi strictly refused her. Seeing Xiao Yi’s unusually stern expression, she had no choice but to abandon her own opinion. As Xiao Yi paid the waiter, her face showed a hint of guilt. Fortunately, Xiao Yi didn’t let her pay the bill. Unexpectedly, the expenses here were even more expensive than she had thought. The cash she carried wasn’t even enough to pay for one bill.

Watching Xiao Yi pull out his wallet and hand big bills to the waiter, her heart suddenly ached. That money must have been all the living expenses he had for the month!

As they walked out of the entrance of the restaurant, Wang Qingqing could no longer hold back and spoke up, "Xiao Yi, knowing how expensive it is here, why did you still choose to dine here? You know, I really don’t mind these things."

"Senior sister, it’s okay, I... just eating out occasionally, haha."

Xiao Yi noticed Wang Qingqing had been fine just a moment ago, but suddenly her complexion seemed off, as if she was getting angry. He was puzzled at first, but then he realized that she was pained by the money just spent on the bill.

At the same time, he felt touched and almost blurted out what he had prepared to tell her, something he had not found the opportunity to mention before, to prevent her from misunderstanding further. However, just when the words reached his lips, his eyes fell on Wang Qingqing’s beautiful yet somewhat stubborn face, and he involuntarily swallowed back his words and changed them to just an occasional meal.

Perhaps he would find another opportunity to talk to her about it another day.

Xiao Yi thought to himself.

"Xiao Yi, I know you mean well for me, but from now on, please don’t do this again, okay? I really don’t care about these material indulgences. We’re both still students now, with no real earning potential. After we graduate and start working, we can gradually improve our lives."

Looking at Xiao Yi’s expression, Wang Qingqing’s heart softened instantly, and her cheeks turned slightly red as if she was pondering something. After a moment, she mustered up the courage, looked up earnestly and said to Xiao Yi, "Let’s just let it be for today; what’s spent is spent, but since you’ve used up your living expenses for the month, don’t borrow money from anyone else. Here’s my meal card. I’ve already loaded over three hundred yuan onto it, which should last for a while. Take it, and when it’s used up, I’ll top it up for you again."

"Uh..."

Xiao Yi stared at the meal card Wang Qingqing was handing over, feeling somewhat overwhelmed, and wasn’t even sure if he should accept it or not.

"Take it."

Wang Qingqing, with her face flushed, held out the meal card, a trace of shy timidness in her heart.

"Okay... okay then."

Xiao Yi, seeing Wang Qingqing’s face which looked like she might cry if he didn’t accept, awkwardly extended his hand and took the meal card.

Only after firmly taking the meal card did he snap back to reality, bitterly smiling to himself, wishing he could slap himself. What was this situation?

But seeing Wang Qingqing with a shyly lowered head, seemingly quite happy, he felt embarrassed to return the card to her. He begrudgingly sighed, mentally slapping himself, while silently resolving to think of a way to return the card to her at all costs.

.....................

Fenghua Bar.

The power behind the bar was none other than Sun Hao, who enjoyed a fearsome reputation throughout G City and even the whole province of G. They called him Master Hao. Like his butt was on fire, he parked his black Mercedes right at the bar’s entrance, not even bothering to pull out the keys before he leaped out of the car and hurried toward the bar.

The greeter and a security guard, looking like a tough guy, watched as someone dared to park their car directly at the main entrance of the bar. They were about to scold the person for blocking the door, thinking it was a stupid move that was asking for trouble.

Who was so foolish to commit such an idiotic act on Master Hao’s turf?

But just as they approached the car, before they could even open their mouths to scold, they realized in shock that the person who leaped from the car was Master Hao himself! Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, nearly causing a disaster.

Relieved that they had been slow to speak, they were just about to fawn over him when they saw Master Hao rush into the bar like a gust of wind, not giving them a chance to say a word.

What was going on?

Watching Sun Hao rush inside as if his butt was on fire, a look of confusion appeared on their faces.

They knew that although Sun Hao was a big deal, he wasn’t a reclusive person. They had seen him from a distance on many occasions, and they knew something about Master Hao. He usually looked dignified and acted unhurried. They had never seen him lose his composure like this.

Inside the bar, Sun Hao’s subordinates, watching him rush in hurriedly with a look of panic, were just as surprised. But before they could ask what was wrong, Master Hao had already disappeared from their sight.

"Where’s Lord Hong!"

After rushing into the bar, Sun Hao headed straight for the private room that used to be his but was now occupied by Master Lin from Glass City. Ever since he had come back injured last time, Master Lin had been holed up there without any movement. If it weren’t for the daily scheduled deliveries of bottled water and various herbs, Sun Hao would have suspected that Master Lin might have died in there.

Reaching the door of the private room and not seeing Lord Hong, who usually stood guard like a deity, Sun Hao paused and turned to one of his underlings nearby to ask.

Although Lord Hong had been injured last time and it seemed pretty serious as he even coughed up blood, he had recuperated for just a couple of days and then appeared completely fine. Afterward, he had been standing guard like a deity in front of Master Lin’s room, relaying many of Master Lin’s orders, and his presence reassured Sun Hao that Master Lin was still alive inside.

"All this hurry, what’s the matter?"

Before the underling could respond, a harsh, unpleasant voice was heard nearby.

Lord Hong, with his gaunt and short stature, walked out from around the corner, his face looking somewhat gloomy. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendations and monthly votes, your support is my greatest motivation.)
