Translator: 549690339
Shidai Square’s rooftop Qingshu Yinyue Restaurant is a landmark in Jiangzhou, a holy place of dating and confession, and a popular spot for internet celebrities.
As the elevator ascended, Ming Chen nervously grabbed Ming Ti’s hand and stuttered, “Ming Jing, where are we going?”
The digital numbers on the electronic screen in the upper right corner of the elevator swiftly jumped in tens.
With each jump, Ming Chen’s heart skipped like he was on a roller coaster, diving up and down at high speed.
Ming Ti pursed her pale lips and silently gripped Ming Chen’s hand.
Ming Jing calmly replied, “The top floor.”
Ming Chen gasped in shock.
Inside the elevator were two young couples; a woman with a snake-like face and curly hair, dressed in designer brands, took out a pressed powder to touch up her makeup in the mirror and sneered, “Rustic bumpkins.”
The mirror tilted slightly, reflecting the face of her boyfriend, who was gazing at something intently, saliva almost dripping from his mouth.
She glanced ahead and saw a slender, statuesque figure standing there, her long hair cascading to her waist, her white dress reaching her ankles. On the skirt’s hem were embroidered silver patterns, revealing an understated, indescribable elegance.
Her back was straight as an arrow, and she carried a small white cotton tote bag on her slim arm. The bag was not leather, but cotton, embroidered with a single orchid, simple and elegant, complementing her overall ethereal, otherworldly appearance.
Despite recognizing luxury brands from every season, the woman could not identify which designer or brand this mysterious attire belonged to. It was possibly from some niche brand.
She looked down, a hint of disdain in her eyes, and adjusted her own latest Chanel dress.
She jabbed her elbow into her entranced boyfriend’s side and glared at him.
The man snapped back to reality and looked at his heavily made-up and sensuously posed girlfriend before instantly feeling sick to his stomach. He wished he could turn his head back and cleanse his sight with that ethereal figure in white.
Seeing the impatience in his eyes, the woman felt irritated. Men were always fickle; they couldn’t turn away from attractive women.
She gazed at the mysterious white figure in front of them with a touch of jealousy.
As an internet celebrity with millions of followers, she had snagged a rich second-generation boyfriend who escorted her to high-end functions, showcasing a glamorous lifestyle online and basking in her fans’ adoration. She was already convinced she was part of the upper class.
The Qingshu Yinyue restaurant on the top floor was a holy place for gatherings and dates for the rich second-generation and socialites. With a minimum spending per person of three thousand, it was not for rustic bumpkins.
And with two little bumpkins in tow, they were clearly starting their gold digging early.
In a blink, the numbers jumped to ninety and stopped.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and the woman in front walked out. As she moved, they could clearly see that the silver patterns on her skirt were lotus flowers, shimmering with each step, perfectly showcasing her graceful figure as if she was producing enchanting lotuses with every step.
Pan Jingjing noticed her boyfriend’s eyes fixed on that white figure. In her anger, she pinched his arm hard.
The man winced in pain and glared at her, “What are you looking at?” “Where were your eyes just now? Is she better looking than me?”
He Maojie didn’t bother to reply, as he only felt that she was full of vulgarity and greasiness at the moment. Annoyed, he asked, “Are you done yet?”
Pan Jingjing clenched her teeth in anger. This was the first time he had spoken to her in such a tone.
He Maojie quickly took a few steps, but the enchanting figure had already disappeared, leaving him feeling somewhat disappointed.
As Ming Jing entered the gorgeously decorated, dream-like restaurant, a waiter immediately came to greet her respectfully.
“Hello, do you have a reservation?”
“Song Yinzhang. ”
Since Qu Feitai’s name wasn’t appropriate, he had used Song Yinzhang’s name for the reservation.
The waiter smiled, “Please follow me.”
Ming Jing followed, with Ming Ti and Ming Chen obediently trailing behind her.
Entering the restaurant after Ming Jing were Pan Jingjing and He Maojie.
Soon after, from another elevator, Zhao Qin and Ran Tengxiao stepped out.
Zhao Qin exclaimed, “Cousin, this is a couples’ restaurant. Is it appropriate for us to come in?”
Ran Tengxiao sighed, extending his right arm, “Just bear with it and take advantage of me just this once.”
Zhao Qin rolled her eyes, “The one being taken advantage of is obviously me.”
However, she was also quite curious with whom Zhu Mingjing was dating. Zhu Mingjing always appeared aloof and indifferent, showing no interest in any men since returning to Jiangzhou..
