C190 (2/2)

”Beautiful!”

As she spoke, her eyes darted to Xu Lin's chest, between the two proud peaks. This was because every time Xu Lin lowered her head, there would be a faint, enchanting gash, as well as two dazzling lumps of snow-white. And this woman seemed to be purposely showing it to him. She held the cup of water in her hand and lowered her head slightly. It was unknown if it was due to her teasing that she was shy.

Just as the sweat started to trickle down the corner of Hua Qianlou's mouth, Xu Lin suddenly raised her head and straightened her clothes. To prevent herself from losing her composure, she also used a napkin to wipe the saliva at the corner of her mouth.

Xu Lin's clear and beautiful eyes stared at Hua Qianlou's handsome face as he asked in a daze: ”Young Master Hua, can I ask you a question?”

”Hm!” Ask away, I will tell anything I know! ”

Xu Lin smiled and said, ”I'm just curious about you. I didn't expect you to be able to climb to the throne of Silver Lake so quickly at such a young age. Your future is limitless!”

”It's all thanks to Young Master Jin's praise. Otherwise, how could an unknown person like me get lucky?”

”I heard that you have a good relationship with Miss Jin. It seems that she was the one who brought you into the Hong clan.”

”Hm!” Miss King has been kind to me, and I should thank her even more. ”

”Oh! Is it true, then, that you and Miss King were involved in the affair? ”

”Gossip? About me and Miss King? ”

When Hua Qianlou heard this, he was shocked. He realized that his relationship with Jin Yan had almost been discovered by everyone in the Hong clan. It seemed that before Jin Fei and Jin Hongwu came back, his relationship with Jin Yan should have been more low-key. Otherwise, if Grandpa Jin knew that he had picked up her daughter, maybe he would do something crazy to her.

Hua Qianlou hurriedly tried to defend himself: ”Nothing much. Sister Lin, please don't listen to the rumors outside. You should know that if you keep spitting out nonsense, there will be a storm soon.”

Xu Lin was like a listener. She didn't say anything after listening to Hua Qianlou's explanation. The two chatted for a while longer before the waitress girl brought them the couple set meal. There were two steaks, a bottle of red wine, two salads, two borscht, and a fried prawn.

Hua Qianlou opened the bottle of red wine with a corkscrew and poured Xu Lin and herself a cup. Just as he was about to raise his glass and thank Xu Lin for her kind words, his phone rang. On the screen of his phone, there was Jin Yan's number. Only then did Hua Qianlou remember that he had already promised to spend the night with her.

”Sister Lin, should I go answer a phone call?”

”Hehe!” Young Master Hua, it can't be your girlfriend, right? I won't eavesdrop. ” After saying that, he picked up the fork, moved the normal vegetable salad in front of his eyes, and started to mix with the Thousand-island juice evenly.

Seeing that Xu Lin had already lowered her head to eat her salad, Hua Qian picked up the phone to call Jin Yan. Since she just wanted to explain it to her, Xu Lin probably wouldn't be able to see through it.

After the call connected, Jin Yan's cold voice came out, ”Young Master Hua, where did you go? Didn't you say that you'll accompany me in the evening these few days? ”

”Oh, I'm having dinner with a friend. I'll come to your place after dinner.”

”Friend? The friend you mentioned is a woman, right? ”

”Ugh!” Just like you, you're missing a little JJ, so your gender should be considered female. ”

”You!”

Jin Yan was so infuriated by Hua Qianlou that she hung up the phone on the spot. She touched the tip of her nose with her hand and helplessly put the phone back into her pocket. Every time this fellow encountered an awkward situation, he would touch the tip of his nose. It was as if this action of his had become his signature habit.

At this time, Xu Lin raised her head and fixed her beautiful eyes on Hua Qianlou's face. She had a faint smile on her face as she said: ”Young Master Hua, I seem to smell a hint of vinegar. ”If I were your girlfriend, I'd be on tenterhooks too. I'm afraid you'd be lured away by some other little vixen.”

”Sister Lin, did you say you wouldn't eavesdrop?”

”I didn't eavesdrop? This is just my personal judgment. ”

”Hehe!” ”Sister Lin, stop talking about me. You have such a beautiful and attractive body, why haven't I heard you talk about your boyfriend before?”

”I... I just don't want to give up the whole forest for a tree. ”

Hua Qianlou smiled and said to Xu Lin: ”Oh! Then I, like you, do not want to give up the whole forest for a tree. Come! For our common purpose, let's toast. ”

Xu Lin raised her delicate face and looked at Hua Qianlou. ”Cheers!” ”Fine, then do you dare to have a drink with me?”

”Give me a glass of wine?” ”Come, let's have a drink and see who's afraid of who.”

With that, the two of them stood up and stretched out their arms. They held each other's arms for a while before drinking the wine in their cups in one gulp. As for Hua Qianlou, he could smell the delicate fragrance emanating from Xu Lin's body and felt a sense of infatuation. He couldn't help but hold the empty wine cup, smirking as he said, ”Seems like the wine from Taiwan is very intoxicating?”
