Chapter 331: The Outside Smells Better
Chapter 331: The Outside Smells Better
The carriage finally stopped after Song Miqiu roared in anger.
By this time, the two people in the car were already in a state of chaos. Song Miqiu was holding Yu Huailin's chest with one hand and his trouser leg with the other, and the brown skin exposed on his chest could be vaguely seen.
Yu Huailin had nowhere to put his hands, so he clasped them tightly on Song Miqiu's shoulders.
"Does he even know how to drive a horse-drawn carriage?"
"Get out of the carriage! I'm going to give this driver a good beating!"
While cursing and swearing, Song Miqiu deliberately tried to hide her flushed cheeks.
But Song Miqiu can't get off the bus yet. What will happen to the surprise we prepared if he gets off?
In a moment of panic, Yu Huailin quickly grabbed her to prevent her from leaving.
"what are you doing?"
He was so focused on holding onto Song Miqiu that he hadn't come up with an excuse yet, and he stammered out a complete sentence.
"That's the one, the one where the weather is nice today."
Just then, a gust of wind blew open the curtains at the window, revealing a sky full of dark clouds, just short of rain.
The silence was as if crows were flying overhead.
Seeing that this wouldn't work, Yu Huailin had a flash of inspiration and immediately changed his mind.
“I know this driver. He has elderly parents and young children to support, and his wife is paralyzed in bed. His situation is terrible. Let’s do a good deed this time.”
Only after saying that did things calm down; that woman was definitely moved when she heard that.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?"
After saying that, he didn't forget to instruct Yu Huailin, "Don't forget to give them extra money when they get off the bus later."
Yu Huailin nodded quickly, as long as he didn't give himself away, he didn't care about the money.
After calming Song Miqiu down, the carriage continued on its way.
The carriage stopped again after only a few minutes. Song Miqiu suppressed her temper, considering how hard the driver's life was. "What is it now?"
Even as he gritted his teeth, Yu Huailin felt a chill run down his spine.
“Miss and young master, the road ahead is too narrow for the carriage to pass. It’s not far from here either. Why don’t you two walk across?”
Song Miqiu was very puzzled. She had not told the driver where she wanted to go. What was wrong with the driver?
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Yu Huailin, fearing that he would give himself away, quickly covered Song Miqiu's mouth.
He winked at her, signaling her to be more tolerant.
After getting off the carriage, Yu Huailin continued to support Song Miqiu the whole time, just in case she made any sudden movements.
"That's none of your business, you can leave now."
He hurriedly gave the money to the driver before leaving.
Song Miqiu knew nothing. "Where are we going?"
Yu Huailin didn't respond directly, but pulled Song Miqiu along and said, "You'll know when we get there."
The street is indeed narrow, but it is bustling with activity and has a strong sense of local life.
"This place is really nice. Why didn't you bring me here sooner? I wish I could live in a place like this in the future."
Yu Huailin never expected that Song Miqiu was such an easily satisfied woman. Suddenly, he realized that he could live a peaceful and contented life without fighting for the so-called truth.
As she was thinking, she drifted quite a distance away from Song Miqiu. "Wait for me."
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
"This is it."
Song Miqiu looked up and surveyed the restaurant in front of her. It was obviously very luxurious and extravagant, but it was also quite elegant, and she didn't find it objectionable.
Why did you bring me here?
"Let's eat."
"You went through all this trouble just to eat?"
"It's all my fault that you missed the Lantern Festival. Consider this meal my apology and a way to make you happy."
Surprisingly, Yu Huailin really knows how to handle women. Who wouldn't love a rich, handsome guy?
"At least you have some thought. I'm warning you, if the food isn't good, I'm leaving right now."
Yu Huailin's portrayal of Song Miqiu's fiery and outspoken personality is endlessly captivating.
"Okay, whatever you say. If it doesn't taste good, I'm willing to take the hit."
Yu Huailin had made a reservation at the restaurant in advance, so a waiter came to greet him as soon as he entered.
The people who come here are all rich and powerful, and none of them are people that ordinary people can afford to offend.
"Sir, which floor did you reserve? I'll take you to your reserved spot."
"A spot by the window on the second floor."
Yu Huailin followed Song Miqiu's preferences exactly, and luckily his memory was still pretty good.
"Okay, sir, this way please."
After leading him to his seat, the waiter hurriedly wiped the table. "Sir, what would you like to eat here?"
To be honest, this was Yu Huailin's first time here, and he wasn't quite sure what the signature dishes were.
"Bring out all your signature dishes."
Seeing how arrogant this gentleman was, the waiter couldn't help but offer a reminder.
“Sir, our prices here are not cheap. It would cost a lot of money to eat all the dishes listed. Besides, you two can't possibly eat that much.”
But the more Xiao Er said that, the more determined Yu Huailin became to order it.
"You don't need to worry about all that. Just do what I tell you to do."
Seeing that he couldn't afford to offend the waiter, he didn't say anything else. "Alright, please wait a moment, sir. The food will be served shortly."
In fact, from the moment Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin entered the restaurant, they had already been watched by many people.
As I just mentioned, the people who come here are all rich and powerful, but who in their right mind spends all their time in restaurants? The people staying here are all the stubborn sons of officials, each one of them incredibly arrogant and domineering.
Although it's not usually obvious, Song Miqiu is a real beauty in the eyes of outsiders. As she gets older, as long as she takes good care of herself, you can't tell at all.
Needless to say, Yu Huailin has attracted the attention of all the women who walked down the street and are now standing at the restaurant entrance waiting for him to appear. They're all hoping to work hard for a lifetime of happiness.
The surprise Yu Huailin prepared went far beyond just a meal.
He even arranged for his men to go to the Lantern Festival and buy the most beautiful lanterns from Song Miqiu.
His men signaled to Yu Huailin at the entrance of the restaurant, and Yu Huailin hurriedly went down and brought up the lanterns.
The women gathered together, discussing the matter.
"Such a fine young master, it's a pity I can't have him."
"Do you think this lantern might be a gift for me?"
"Keep dreaming. Even if he likes me, he can't like you."
"Cut~"
Some even waved directly at Yu Huailin.
"Young master, do you have someone you love? If not, how about me?"
"Young master's lanterns are really nice. How about coming to my room?"
Song Miqiu was starving while waiting for the food to be served when she heard a commotion outside and looked out the window.
Song Miqiu couldn't see clearly what Yu Huailin was holding, but seeing Yu Huailin surrounded by a group of women, she suddenly felt jealous.
Following Yu Huailin every day felt like a daily routine, and I even forgot what Yu Huailin was like in the eyes of outsiders.
For a moment, Song Miqiu felt a little worried, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
Watching Yu Huailin go up to the second floor from the window, I finally realized that he was holding the lantern I had been longing for.
