“Do I know him?” Lan Jue asked his brother

“Figure it out yourself!” Lan Jue curtly replied

Lan Jue’s face stiffened “I really don’toff a fleet admiral”

“See if you keep your finger” Lan Qing taunted

“Whatever”

The hotel’s lobby was small and simple From the chipped floorboards to the stained counter and creaky stairs, the place looked like it’d seen better days In truth Luo City was already a hundred years old, but this place seemed older

An elderly receptionist stood behind the counter While the others waited, their taxi driver walked over to handle check-in Lan Jue took the opportunity to look around

“This stuff looks like it’s half a century old,” Mika quipped “Very Western I can’t even tell when some of this stuff was made”

The taxi driver was back quickly, and heard Mika’s comment “The owners are descended fro in their past forced therate to the North It’s always difficult to leave your hos with the in this place are antiques and family heirlooms

Perhaps for the first ti place It has heart”

The driver sniffed “Up to your specifications, is it?”

Everyone – Lan Jue included, gaped at the driver Who was he that he could talk to Lan Qing that way?

“Thereplied “I have the invitation letters prepared, you just need to show up There’s nothing to talk about”

“Oh,” he stalled “So… you’re spending the night here alone eh? It’s a nice room!”

Lan Qing finally turned around and looked at hi?”

Lan Jue flashed a quick glance toward the , nothing I’rab a bite?”

The Eastern ado ahead Why are you acting so strange…”

He was struggling to find reasons to stick around, and with his options dwindling just blurt it out “Brother, th-there’s just sos that aren’t appropriate Think of father!”

Lan Qing stared at hi nonsense?”

Lan Jue looked at him, then pointedly at the driver He tried toto

Lan Qing was indeed very smart When he saw Lan Jue’s worried and accusatory expression a smile broke his cold façade He turned his head away

The taxi driver was less alowered at hi to say?”
