Chapter 39
Soaring Dragon Hotel
For the next two days, Mo Xiu was very relaxed. He accompanied his mother everywhere and felt very comfortable.
Mo Xiu might not be back for a long time after going to Yanjing, so he wanted to spend more time with his mother.
Today was the 14th day of his holiday. Mo Xiu would be leaving for Yanjing tomorrow, so he was watching his mother pack his luggage.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
When Mo Xiu opened the door, he saw that it was Zheng Yi. Before Zheng Yi could speak, Mo Xiu had already closed the door.
Zheng Yi shouted from outside, “Hey! Mo Xiu! I have something to talk to you about!”
Mo Xiu replied, “Didn’t I tell you not to look for me these few days?”
Zheng Yi knocked a few more times and said, “Quick, open the door. I have an appointment with Ye Qian’er and Liu Qingyu today.”
Only then did Mo Xiu remember that he had always wanted to treat the two of them to a meal, but he had never had the time to do so.
After Mo Xiu opened the door, Zheng Yi came in and ran to the sofa to complain to Li Yuan.
“Auntie, tell me about Mo Xiu. He only has a few friends. Is he trying to lose another one by locking me outside?”
Li Yuan knew about the relationship between Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi. Thus,she definitely knew that he was joking.
She pretended to be angry and said to Mo Xiu, “Xiao Xiu, how could you do this to Zheng Yi? Quickly go and meet your classmates.”
Zheng Yi looked at Mo Xiu smugly. Meanwhile, Mo Xiu looked at his mother. He probably wouldn’t be able to accompany his mother today.
Thus, Mo Xiu tidied up briefly before following Zheng Yi out.
After getting into the car, Mo Xiu asked, “Why did you invite them to a meal today?”
Zheng Yi said sarcastically, “Hey! How do we have to cheek to ask a busy bee like you out? How do you have the time?! You disappeared for ten days the moment you went on vacation and then came back to move. If I didn’t forcefully drag you out today, wouldn’t you still be busy?”
Mo Xiu knew that he was in the wrong and could only change the topic. “Where are we going to eat today?”
At the mention of this topic, Zheng Yi proudly took out a card and handed it to Mo Xiu.
“Isn’t this the diamond membership card of the Soaring Dragon Hotel?”
Mo Xiu was shocked. The Soaring Dragon Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in the city. If Mr. Zheng had this card, Mo Xiu would believe it. However, how could Zheng Yi have this card? It was impossible!
“Zheng Yi, did you steal your dad’s card?”
When Zheng Yi heard this, he acted arrogantly.
“This is my card. Yesterday, I sent a message to ask if Yue Yuan had any good restaurants to recommend. He simply gave me this.”
Mo Xiu smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to be in contact with Yue Yuan. Did your father instruct you to interact more with Yue Yuan?”
Having been seen through, Zheng Yi said unhappily, “It’s none of your business! However, my dad’s membership card is only a platinum card. When I brought this card back yesterday, my dad’s shameless expression made me laugh.”
Mo Xiu sighed. Zheng Yi was really shameless. He even teased his own father.
They sped all the way to the Soaring Dragon Hotel. Liu Qingyu was already waiting there.
Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi alighted from the car and immediately went forward to welcome him.
Mo Xiu was the first to speak. “Brother Liu, you’re early. Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s hurry up and go in!”
Liu Qingyu was still as graceful and courteous as ever. Cupping his hands, he said, “Eh? What are you saying? I also just arrived.”
The three of them walked into the hotel lobby. As soon as they entered, they saw golden lights everywhere.
Unlike the main hall of other restaurants, this place only had a receptionist, a spacious hall, and rows of sofas.
The Soaring Dragon Hotel did not have a bar for guests. Instead, the lobby was specially used to receive guests. As they had a membership system, it only received members.
Zheng Yi went to talk to the front desk while Mo Xiu and Liu Qingyu sat on the sofa and chatted.
Mo Xiu said, “Brother Liu, thank you for helping me during my absence.”
Liu Qingyu waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing. The three of us are old acquaintances. If we can help, of course we have to help.”
Before Mo Xiu could reply, Zheng Yi had already returned.
Mo Xiu asked, “Are you done?”
“No problem. We got the best room. Shall we go up first?”
Mo Xiu looked at the entrance. Ye Qian’er had not arrived yet.
Zheng Yi immediately understood and said to Liu Qingyu, “Qingyu, let’s go up first and have Mo Xiu stay behind to wait for Ye Qian’er.”
“Alright, you guys go up first. I’ll stay and wait.”
At this moment, Ye Qian’er hurriedly ran into the main hall, holding her knees as she panted heavily. She lifted her head and saw Mo Xiu.
She jogged over to Mo Xiu, but when she stood in front of Mo Xiu, he didn’t know what to say.
She bowed and said, “Senior Mo, I’m sorry I’m late.”
Mo Xiu quickly stood up and helped Ye Qian’er up. “Hahaha, what are you doing? I’m treating you to a meal today. Why are you apologizing?”
Ye Qian’er stood up straight, not knowing what to say.
Mo Xiu smiled and said, “Let’s go. Follow me.”
Ye Qian’er followed behind Mo Xiu and pouted. She had embarrassed herself again!
…
On the eighth floor, in a lively and elegant room…
Just as Zheng Yi had said, this was the best room. Not only did it have a dining table, it also had a bedroom, a lounge, and even a swimming pool. It was a simple villa.
Before they entered the room, the dishes had already been served. The table was full of dishes, but Mo Xiu couldn’t even name any of them.
The few of them were currently chatting enthusiastically.
Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi once again thanked Liu Qingyu and Ye Qian’er. To be able to help at the most difficult time, they truly valued the friendship among them.
Zheng Yi asked, “Qingyu, which school are you going to? Your grades should be enough for Yanjing University, right?”
Liu Qingyu smiled. “Yes, my score is high enough, but I don’t like Yanjing. I’m going to Wu Country instead.”
Mo Xiu was a little surprised that someone could get into Yanjing University, yet did not go there.
“Brother Liu, why is that so? Is there anything wrong with Yanjing?”
Liu Qingyu shook his head and said, “It’s not that Yanjing is bad. It’s just that I don’t want to go because of some personal reasons.”
Seeing that Liu Qingyu was unwilling to speak, Mo Xiu did not probe further.
Seeing that Ye Qian’er was still a little reserved, Mo Xiu asked, “Ye Qian’er, you’re already in your third year of high school when the school year starts again. Which university are you planning to enroll in next?”
Zheng Yi teased, “That’s right. Sister Qian’er, where are you going to apply? Are you going to Yanjing to look for Mo Xiu?”
Mo Xiu had wanted Ye Qian’er to relax, but after hearing Zheng Yi’s words, he felt even more uneasy.
Meanwhile, Ye Qian’er looked at Mo Xiu and quickly lowered her head again. Mo Xiu glared at Zheng Yi. He truly caused trouble all day.
At this moment, Ye Qian’er’s phone rang. She took it out and hung up after taking a look.
Mo Xiu asked, “What’s wrong? Who called you? It’s okay, just pick it up.”
Ye Qian’er shook her head and whispered, “It’s nothing. It’s just an unimportant phone call.”
Before Ye Qian’er could finish her sentence, another call came in.
Seeing that Ye Qian’er seemed a little unhappy, Mo Xiu said, “It’s okay, you can pick up the call!”
Ye Qian’er nodded and went to the side to answer the call.
…
The meal ended very quickly. The four of them walked out of the restaurant and prepared to part ways.
Ye Qian’er lowered her head with a flushed face, not daring to speak to Mo Xiu until they separated.
After everyone left, she clenched her fists and muttered to herself, “Ye Qian’er, you’re so useless. You didn’t even bid Senior Mo farewell properly.”
Since they were leaving Shun City tomorrow, everyone went home to make preparations.
Mo Xiu had just reached home when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Yue Yuan.
“Hello, Mo Xiu. I just arrived at the Soaring Dragon Hotel. Why did you leave?”
“If there’s nothing, you can just leave. Thank you.”
“Hey, why are you thanking me? Alright then, go on with your work. Let’s keep in touch in the future.”
Mo Xiu didn’t expect Yue Yuan to personally make a trip there.
