Chapter 291: Chapter 278 Unexpected 2

The entire hotel building had a black facade, with two tall cylindrical marble columns standing by the door, creating a very imposing presence.

At the entrance, there wasn’t a large flow of people coming in and out, but those who were appeared to be dressed very appropriately, arriving and leaving in their cars. Clearly, this place couldn’t be of a low grade.

Lin Fei didn’t feel much about it; this place was similar to the Capital City Grand Hotel from before, and the decor wasn’t even as nice as the golden hall back then.

However, the girl that Dong Yaofei hadn’t introduced seemed a little curious. Although she tried hard to appear calm, her constantly shifting gaze betrayed her very nervous mood. It was obvious that this was her first time in such a high-class place.

Upon entering the hotel, the front desk staff seemed to be familiar with Dong Yaofei and, after whispering something into his ear, led the three of them upstairs to a large private room on the second floor.

Pushing open the door to the private room, they were greeted by a large expanse of red wooden flooring, soft yellow lighting, and ivory white curtains that made the whole room exceptionally warm. The room was very large, equivalent to the size of five or six living rooms of an average household, and could even fit a small-sized basketball court. In the center was a large dining table surrounded by neat high-backed chairs. On one side of the room were four or five white leather sofas and a mahogany coffee table. Surprisingly, there was still a distance of three or four meters between the sofas, the coffee table, and the dining table, leaving a lot of empty space in the room, creating a somewhat hollow atmosphere.

"Looks like we’re the first ones here," Dong Yaofei burst into the room first, flopped down on the sofa, and sunk right into it.

Lin Fei also slowly walked in and sat down.

The girl followed behind Lin Fei, looking around the room from left to right.

The last time Lin Fei and Dong Yaofei went out to eat alone, it was in a similar large private room, so this was no surprise to him.

"I didn’t expect to bump into you just by going for a walk. I was planning to have a quick lunch outside, but now you’re inviting us," Lin Fei joked with a smile.

"That’s what you call fate," Dong Yaofei laughed. "This Nine Dragons Hotel has unsurpassed stir-fried vegetables. After getting tired of heavy dishes, this place has become the one I frequent most."

The three of them sat down, ordered a table full of dishes, and before long, everything was served.

Then a portly man with a large belly entered the private room, respectfully greeted Dong Yaofei as "Brother Dong," and after being introduced by Dong Yaofei, revealed he was the friend who had helped them last time. After a brief chat, the man’s forehead began to show sweat.

The tone of Lin Fei’s voice and the unconscious pressure made him feel extremely uncomfortable, forcing him to find an excuse to sit aside and rest.

Subsequently, one after another, young people entered the private room. There were about seven or eight people, plus Dong Yaofei and the others, making it around ten people in total, forming a circle around the round table.

Lin Fei sat to the right of Dong Yaofei, his face calm.

But everyone at the table seemed somewhat constrained, and the atmosphere was a bit chilly.

Dong Yaofei had not expected this situation.

On one side, Lin Fei was eating his meal slowly and deliberately, while his brothers all seemed too intimidated to even breathe heavily.

By the end of the meal, aside from Lin Fei, who had eaten his fill, the others hastily got up and took their leave after eating only half-heartedly.

After seeing off the last person, Dong Yaofei couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"Master, your presence is a bit too strong, isn’t it?"

"Is it?" Lin Fei was taken aback, as he hadn’t noticed it. He had assumed that this was how Dong Yaofei and his friends usually gathered. Once reminded, he thought about it for a moment, and his inner strength suddenly retracted, softening his demeanor instantly.

"It’s better now," Dong Yaofei clearly felt the oppressive sensation disappear and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’ll go to the restroom," Lin Fei said, shaking his head as he walked out of the private room.

He followed the corridor towards the exit.

The restrooms were located on the other side of the lobby.

Just then, a young girl covered her mouth and ran past Lin Fei into the restroom, bringing with her a strong smell of alcohol, evidently having had a few drinks.

Lin Fei hadn’t walked far when the door to the ladies’ restroom suddenly swung open again, and the girl came out with tear-stained face, seemingly having just cried. Her eyes were red, but her facial features could only be considered mediocre. In fact, she was a bit ugly, with her face covered in acne, some of which had begun to fester. The sight was quite disgusting.

Lin Fei glanced at her and was about to enter the men’s restroom.

"Hey! Across from you!" the girl suddenly called out to Lin Fei.

"?" Lin Fei looked at her, puzzled.

"Am I very ugly?" she asked tearily.

Lin Fei nodded indifferently.

"Very ugly."

"You!!" It was only then that the girl got a clear look at Lin Fei’s face, and her eyes widened in shock. "Why...how come!!" Anger flickered in her eyes. "Why does even a man look prettier than me..." Tears began to flow from her eyes again.

"If you yourself think you’re ugly, then no one will find you beautiful," Lin Fei said calmly. He turned and pushed open the restroom door.

"Wait!"

The girl suddenly spoke up.

Lin Fei felt a hand grabbing at the corner of his clothes and involuntarily turned around again.

The girl lifted her pitiful face, which had suddenly become eerily calm.

"Five million. Be my boyfriend."

"Let go," Lin Fei said indifferently.

"What? Not enough? Ten million!" The girl raised her eyebrows. "Think about it carefully..."

"You’re very rich?" Lin Fei’s tone grew deeper.

"Aren’t you little pretty boys all about the money?" the girl said sarcastically.

Lin Fei shook off her hand from his clothing corner but couldn’t help but remember something Jiu’er had said under the setting sun. His tone instantly softened.

"Go back and rest well. A good sleep will do you good."

"Qingqing!!" Suddenly, a robust voice came from the side.

The girl responded.

"I’m here!"

A tall man with a beard strode over.

"What are you doing here! Let’s go! Go back!"

"I’m not going back!" the girl said defiantly.

"Aren’t you ashamed enough??" the bearded man bellowed. "Bai Yang doesn’t want you, plenty of others do!! Come on, go back!"

"I won’t go back!!" the girl stood her ground, unmoving.

Lin Fei eyed the man who had suddenly appeared. He couldn’t have been more than in his twenties, but he had deliberately grown a thick black stubble on his chin, and coupled with his tall and robust frame, he had quite a fierce aura.

"What are you looking at!! Get lost!" the bearded man shouted impatiently.

Lin Fei’s expression darkened, ready to blow up.

Unexpectedly, the girl’s expression changed even faster. She kicked out directly.

"Zhao Shichang! You get lost!!"

"Zhao Yuqing!!" the bearded man was suddenly frantic. He didn’t even care about his thigh that had been kicked.

"Zhao Shichang!!!"

The two siblings stood in front of the bathroom, shouting at each other.

"Damn it!! All you know is to find pretty boys!! Forget it, I don’t care anymore!! Ahh!!!" the bearded man roared and turned to leave.

Just as he approached the corridor entrance, the bearded man suddenly turned back.

"Pretty boy, if you dare treat my sister badly again, I’ll kill you!!"

"I’ll kill you first!!" Zhao Yuqing roared back.

The entire hotel was bustling with excitement, a crowd of onlookers gathered to the side, chattering among themselves. Some security guards and wait staff wore troubled expressions, not daring to intervene.

Lin Fei was initially a bit angry but unexpectedly became a spectator toward the end. He felt his face go numb.

Zhao Yuqing was panting heavily with her eyes widened, sweeping the crowd of onlookers.

"What are you looking at! Get lost!! All of you, get lost!!" she yelled.

Some of the guests’ expressions changed, about to explode with anger. These high-status individuals who were used to being treated with reverence had never been addressed like this. However, they were quickly held back by friends who whispered something to them. Suddenly their expressions changed, and they quickly dispersed of their own accord.

In a moment, the crowd of onlookers had also scattered.

Only then did Zhao Yuqing turn around to face Lin Fei. She looked exhausted.

"Forget it, just go. I drank too much earlier, my mind was a bit muddled. I’m sorry," she said.

"Actually, you’re not that bad looking," Lin Fei offered her some consolation and turned to enter the bathroom.

Zhao Yuqing was taken aback. She could differentiate between sincere and hollow words. Even though she knew that the handsome man in front of her was just trying to comfort her, a warm current couldn’t help but well up from the bottom of her heart.

Unable to hold back her tears, they began to flow from her eyes.

She stood there, crying her eyes out.

***************

Lin Fei came out of the bathroom to find that Zhao Yuqing had disappeared. To have such an encounter just by using the bathroom was indeed quite strange.

When he returned to the second-floor private room and pushed the door open, Dong Yaofei’s hand was in the middle of slipping inside a girl’s blouse. Seeing Lin Fei enter, he didn’t feel embarrassed but withdrew his hand openly; it was the girl whose face was blushing.

"Master, we still have time this afternoon. Any plans? How about I show you around for some fun?"

"How’s the training I taught you going?" Lin Fei directly asked.

"You can’t be serious..." Dong Yaofei’s face immediately fell, "This... I haven’t had much time recently... You know... I..."

"Haven’t practiced, have you?" Lin Fei looked at him amusedly.

"No! It’s just that I’ve been very busy lately..." Dong Yaofei’s voice trailed off.

"Forget it, up to you. Everyone has their own way of living. The choice is yours to make."

The three of them left the private room.

As they descended to the first floor and approached the lobby, the wait staff led them to push open a glass door.

Dong Yaofei, walking ahead, pushed the door open and was immediately stunned.

Lin Fei and the girl stepped out to a similar surprise.

At the hotel entrance, hundreds of red roses were neatly arranged into a huge heart shape, inundating the entire doorstep in a sea of flowers. Zhao Yuqing stood on the steps, holding a big bunch of red roses, and quickly approached Lin Fei, thrusting the flowers forcefully into his arms.

Taking a deep breath, she shouted loudly.

"I like you!!!"

The surrounding area went silent.

Dong Yaofei’s face was dripping with cold sweat.

Zhao Yuqing, looking perfectly natural, said to the stunned Lin Fei.

"Let’s elope."

"No."

The place fell into silence. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, we welcome you to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest
