LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Classic
"Mr. Hu?"
Seeing Hu Yunshan staring at her as if he had lost his soul, Lin Huànxī felt a slight discomfort in her heart.
She had seen too many intrusive gazes like that!
"Sorry, I was truly surprised by Miss Lin's beauty. It was disrespectful, my apologies."
Hu Yunshan was also a direct person, knowing that making excuses would only damage his image. So he decided to compliment her openly.
He extended his hand and shook Lin Huànxī's. This time, he did not rush to make any inappropriate move.
One shouldn't rush to eat hot tofu; that concept was something he understood perfectly.
At that moment, Ye Qiū, who was standing outside the hotel and looking through the glass, stared at Hu Yunshan's greasy face.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of murderous intent. How could he not understand that repulsive gaze?
What an old, greasy man, daring to set his eyes on his wife!
He was extremely angry, but in his eyes, a spark of excitement and strange stimulation shone, quickly disappearing.
Seeing that Hu Yunshan didn't attempt to take advantage of the handshake, Lin Huànxī relaxed a bit in her vigilance.
During her business dealings, she had encountered many men who, when shaking hands, seemed to want to hold on and not let go.
"Mr. Hu, for which new project are you seeking collaboration with our company? If it's convenient, I can send my employees to the site now..."
Eager to close the deal, Lin Huànxī went straight to the point.
Before she could finish, Hu Yunshan raised his hand and laughed.
"Lin, how about we eat first, what do you think? Then we can talk business. When it's time to relax, you must relax properly, otherwise, you'll get tired, especially someone as beautiful as you."
"Alright, I've been a bit impatient."
Lin Huànxī also realized she had been rushing today.
But after losing two big orders, she couldn't afford to wait any longer.
If she didn't find new contracts within a month to secure the company's operations, the funding chain would break, and the company would be finished.
"Stop talking, let's just order something to eat."
Hu Yunshan took a thick menu and handed it to Lin Huànxī.
Lin Huànxī selected a couple of dishes and said, "I've chosen, Mr. Hu, now it's your turn."
"The chicken pot here is unique, you can't miss it."
Hu Yunshan was a regular customer at this restaurant and, smiling, chose a few dishes.
A waiter approached the table—it was Tang Yu, who had changed his appearance. He now looked like an ordinary young man.
"Have you chosen your dishes, sirs? Would you like me to recommend the house's specialties?"
As he approached, Tang Yu smiled, but his gaze toward Hu Yunshan was full of disdain.
[Dammit, this guy must weigh at least 200 pounds, if not more.]
[His belly looks like it's eight months pregnant, he can't even see his own belly button.]
[And this fat pig has the nerve to set his sights on Lin Huànxī? How disgusting.]
He thought this in his mind while observing the scene.
Suddenly, Lin Huànxī heard Tang Yu's thoughts and her face reflected a brief surprise and joy.
That same voice she had heard at her grandfather's birthday banquet finally reappeared.
Could it be that her guardian had always been watching and protecting her?
And as for Hu Yunshan "looking" at her that way… did it mean he didn't have good intentions?
"There's no need to rush me, I'm already familiar with your restaurant. Wait a moment, I'll decide what soup to order."
Hu Yunshan's face showed some impatience. Did he need a waiter to teach him what to order?
With those low-class people, they couldn't even afford to eat here once a month.
Tang Yu smiled and stood aside, continuing to make comments in his mind.
[Let them order whatever they want, after they choose, Ye Qiū will surely throw the soup at them.]
[He's been watching from the window all this time, now he's decided to kill this guy.]
[But you two aren't decent people.]
[One is obsessed with beauty and, taking advantage of the difficulties Lin Huànxī's company is facing, wants to gain an advantage. He tried to use the excuse of leaving the company's seal at his house to deceive Lin Huànxī and make her follow him, with the intention of taking advantage of her.]
[The other one isn't any better.]
[He made her lose the company's orders to put her in the most desperate situation.]
[And then he came out as the 'hero,' bringing a big order to the company to prove he wasn't just a useless person living off others' wealth, trying to win Lin Huànxī's favor. How ridiculous that he thought this.]
As Hu Yunshan took his time choosing the dishes, Tang Yu took the opportunity to criticize them in his mind.
Hearing all of this,
Lin Huànxī shuddered, and her gaze filled with disbelief.
When they said Hu Yunshan didn't have good intentions, it didn't surprise her too much; men with power and money often did such things.
But when she heard that Ye Qiū was involved in all of this, she truly couldn't believe it.
She had never thought that he, whom she considered arrogant and selfish, would have the heart to set a trap for her.
"Why…?"
Lin Huànxī gently bit her lip, feeling some pain in her heart.
Although she didn't like Ye Qiū, he hadn't done anything to hurt her. Why did he have to act this way toward her?
Meanwhile, Ye Qiū continued to patiently wait for his moment to intervene.
As an expert at the [Heaven] level, he could concentrate and clearly hear the conversations of people more than twenty meters away.
"When this greasy man offends his wife, he'll teach him a lesson and then bring an order to the company. That will surely win her favor, and maybe in a few days, he'll be allowed to enter her room."
He chuckled to himself as his mind imagined the scene of Lin Huànxī agreeing to be with him, which made him excited for a while.
After calmly selecting the dishes, Hu Yunshan handed the menu to Tang Yu and said, "Pour me a bottle of 1982 Lafite."
"Uh... Alright."
Tang Yu was already tired of thinking about all of this.
He didn't understand why, in so many urban novels, the 1982 Lafite bottle never seemed to run out.
The systems always rewarded with Lamborghinis or poisons, and luckily, he had received one.
Soon after, the kitchen began sending the dishes one after another.
Tang Yu also brought the 1982 wine bottle and eagerly uncorked it, stepping back a few meters to observe the scene.
"Lin, please allow me to pour you a glass."
Hu Yunshan changed how he addressed Lin Huànxī from "Miss Lin" to a more personal "Lin."
"Mr. Hu, such courtesy."
Lin Huànxī raised her glass with a forced smile, while in her mind, she wished the worst for Hu Yunshan.
She now fully trusted her guardian's words and knew everything would happen just as he had said.
What concerned her, however, was that after hearing his words, the guardian hadn't said anything more.
If she could, she… would like to keep hearing that voice that had been watching over her, the one that made her feel so warm.
That warmth was something she had never experienced in her own home.
Although her parents raised her, they were always more concerned with marrying her off to a good family than asking if she truly wanted it, as if her life had to be directed by them.
After toasting and eating something, they talked a little more.
Hu Yunshan, seeing that Lin Huànxī wasn't responding to his insinuations, couldn't help but curse her for not being more "cooperative."
He knew that woman was very proud, and winning her over wouldn't be easy. Otherwise, many men in Yanjing would have already succeeded.
It wasn't that he couldn't pursue her, it was something more…
It was about wanting to have her in his bed.
