Chapter 15: Could It Be Just Because I'm Handsome?:
Today, Yao Zhenshan finally witnessed the true nature of Long Tian. Just thinking about how close he was to setting up his granddaughter with him gave him chills.
He felt a lingering fear but was relieved that he discovered the truth in time.
"Huaimeng, don't worry. I'll find you someone else soon, and this time, I'll make sure to choose carefully!"
"..."
If he hadn't brought this up, she might have been happy for a moment. But that was the trouble with family pressure about marriage; no one could escape it.
Previously, Yao Huaimeng would have just brushed it off with a couple of vague replies. But not this time...
"No need, Grandpa. This time, I want to find someone myself!"
"Find someone yourself?"
This was unexpected for Yao Zhenshan.
His granddaughter used to be entirely focused on her career, now seemed interested in finding a partner. This made Yao Zhenshan, who eagerly wanted to have great-grandchildren, both surprised and delighted.
Noticing the smile in Yao Huai Meng's eyes, Yao Zhenshan had a sudden realization.
"It looks like my granddaughter already has someone in mind!"
"Grandpa!"
Even the usually composed and aloof Yao Huai Meng felt embarrassed when talking about this.
So, she really did have someone!
Yao Zhenshan's eyes lit up.
"Let me guess. Could it be that young man who saved me at the birthday banquet?"
For some reason, Yao Zhenshan immediately thought of Ye Liuyun.
"I have some work to attend to. I'll be leaving now!"
Without answering, Yao Huaimeng uttered these words and left quickly. Her hurried departure had a hint of awkwardness.
"..."
"Looks like I guessed right!"
Watching his granddaughter's retreating figure, Yao Zhenshan's mood improved significantly.
...
[It's starting! It's starting!]
[The next plot point is finally starting!]
After waiting for several days, it was finally happening! This anticipation also energized the other female leads.
[According to the novel's plot, she is supposed to be a fairy-like beauty. I wonder how beautiful she will be]
[I'm excited! I'm so excited!]
"Hmph!"
Yao Huaimeng and You Yu both felt a bit jealous. As female leads themselves, they refused to believe that anyone could be much more beautiful than they were. Especially Yao Huaimeng, who felt a tinge of discomfort at the thought of Ye Liuyun looking forward to meeting another woman.
Meanwhile, Qu Yingmeng, who had finished all her work, was also looking forward to the meeting.
Finally, they were going to meet.
[What's the plot for this scene again?]
[Never mind! I'll think about it when I get there!]
[First, let's get to the place!]
[I remember it was supposed to be a bar, right?]
With that in mind, Ye Liuyun greeted everyone briefly and left. Given his current status, moving freely in Zhao Haoqian's villa was easy. No one would stop him.
At the same time, Yao Huaimeng also put aside her work, and You Yu followed suit. Now that the location was known, they were all heading there together.
...
(Night)
Unlike those chaotic bars, the one Ye Liuyun arrived at was more luxurious and relaxing. The music in the background was soothing, catering to those who came to enjoy the peace, usually wealthy individuals.
"This should be the place."
Ye Liuyun glanced around and sat down at the bar.
"What would you like, sir?"
"Give me the strongest drink you have!"
Not knowing much about alcohol, he simply asked for the strongest one. The bartender assumed Ye Liuyun had some troubles to drown, so he quickly prepared a strong drink for him.
"Sir, this drink has a very high alcohol content. You should take it slow..."
"Another one!"
Before the bartender could finish, Ye Liuyun had already downed it in one gulp.
"..."
The bartender's eyelids twitched. He wasn't savoring it at all. But it didn't matter; the more he drank, the more commission the bartender would get.
"Please wait a moment, sir!"
With the Six Library Immortal Thief in him, no amount of alcohol could affect Ye Liuyun. He was essentially immune to getting drunk.
[According to the plot, Qu Yingmeng should already be in the bar by now]
As he looked around, he thought about today's plot.
[It seems Qu Yingmeng wanted to use Zhao Corporation's connections to make money but failed again. Frustrated, she came to this bar to drown her sorrows and meet the protagonist]
The plot wasn't complicated. But where was Qu Yingmeng now?
"Hey, handsome!"
As Ye Liuyun looked around, a slightly lazy voice sounded in his ear.
"Mind if I sit here?"
"..."
"This feels familiar!"
He remembered. Last time, You Yu had sat next to him in a similar way.
While Ye Liuyun was lost in thought, the woman had already sat down beside him. Her exquisite dress and alluring figure caught his attention.
[Hiss!]
[Damn!]
[Where did this goddess come from!]
His thoughts made Qu Yingmeng smile slightly. It was worth dressing up for this.
"Handsome, won't you buy me a drink?"
Some people's charm seemed natural, like Qu Yingmeng. Even just talking, she exuded an enticing allure. Truly a natural beauty.
"Ahem!"
Clearing his throat, Ye Liuyun regained his composure.
"Order whatever you like!"
He wasn't short on money at the moment, so he could afford to be generous.
"Then I won't hold back!"
Qu Yingmeng didn't overdo it and ordered a light cocktail.
"Handsome, my name is Qu Yingmeng. What's yours?"
"Qu Yingmeng, what a nice name. I'm Ye Liuyun. You..."
He suddenly paused.
"What's your name again?"
[What's this? Qu Yingmeng?]
Qu Yingmeng looked innocent and acted as if she hadn't understood Ye Liuyun's surprise .
"My name is Qu Yingmeng. Is there something wrong with that?"
"No... Nothing!"
[Heavens, it's like this before and it's like this again! The plot is way off!]
[Why is this happening?]
[Could it be...]
Ye Liuyun's thoughts made not only Qu Yingmeng but also the secretly following Yao Huaimeng and You Yu feel tense.
Did he find out?
[Could it be just because I'm handsome?]
-To be continued!
