A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 385 Hidden Tricks

"Sisters, it's lunchtime. Even though we've long since transcended worldly concerns, we can't deprive ourselves, can we? Come on, let's see if there's anything good to eat," Li Wei said with a smug grin.

Lily smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go!"

As we arrived at the restaurant on the first floor, the robot Dingding came down.

"Passengers, are you here for lunch?" Dingding asked.

Zhang Xiuli said, "Yes!"

"Oh, please come with me, your seats are here!"

Special class passengers naturally enjoy special treatment. Even their restaurant is special, and their food is completely different from what you find outside. It has all kinds of delicacies, things that ordinary people can't afford.

"Dear passengers, your seats are here, all of them are assigned. The food is over there, feel free to order whatever you like, just don't waste any."

"Oh, I see."

"Enjoy your meal, and please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."

"OK, thanks."

"You're welcome."

The women ordered their favorite dishes and were enjoying their meals when suddenly, Wen Shao, carrying a tray, took the lead, followed by Qin Shao, Cheng Ye, and the other two.

"Hi, ladies!" Wen Shao greeted them with a smile, then plopped down opposite Baihe.

"Excuse me, beautiful lady, may I ask your surname?"

Lily glanced up at Wen Shao, then continued eating.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Wen Shao smiled coldly to himself, and said aloud, "Um... let me introduce myself first. My surname is Wen, my given name is Bi Hua, Wen as in warmth, Bi as in graduation, and HX as in..."

"If you keep nagging, believe me, I'll make you mute?"

"Wait a minute, beautiful, let's be friends..."

"roll!"

Baihe's cold, piercing eyes met Wen Shao's lecherous gaze. Wen Shao's heart skipped a beat, as if struck by lightning, and he froze, completely stunned. The voice carried an extremely strong intimidating power, causing Wen Shao to swallow back the words he was about to say. He sat there dumbfounded for a long time before he came to his senses, quickly picked up his plate, and tactfully walked away.

"Young Master Wen, what's wrong?"

Seeing Wen Shao walk over blankly, looking as if he had been frightened, Qin Shao and the others were all startled, with Guo Shao asking in surprise. However, Wen Shao seemed to ignore Guo Shao's question and their astonished gazes. Instead, his pair of sharp eyebrows suddenly furrowed together, and he said in alarm, "Strange, what just happened? I feel like I had a nightmare? Hiss..."

He suddenly shivered, then stole a glance at Baihe, only to be met with her piercing, hawk-like eyes. Startled, he quickly looked away and said to Qin Shao and the others, "You guys enjoy your meal. I'll go upstairs first."

Without waiting for Qin Shao and the other two to react, he walked straight out. Qin Shao and the others were even more confused. Guo Shao couldn't help but glance at Baihe, but didn't see anything wrong. So he asked Cheng Ye and Qin Shao, "Strange, what's wrong with Wen Shao?"

Qin Shao said, "Who knows! If he doesn't eat, we will."

Major General Guo turned his gaze to Cheng Ye, who shrugged and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Guo Shao assumed that Wen Shao's gambling losses were simply forgotten. However, Cheng Ye's eyes darted around, as if he were plotting something. From the moment Cheng Ye first saw Tang Qianqian, he was captivated by her cold and elegant appearance. He felt that compared to Tang Qianqian, his wife was like a flower compared to dog shit—utterly incomparable. Meeting Tang Qianqian on the Chengfeng was a pleasant surprise, and he felt incredibly fortunate to have been given such a good opportunity to get closer to her. However, the appearance of Baihe and the others was an even bigger surprise. He had never encountered so many beautiful women in his life, and every single one of them was stunningly beautiful. Therefore, he vowed to get one of them at tonight's ball, even if it wasn't Tang Qianqian, he would be satisfied. Seeing Wen Shao leave, he stood up, carried his tray to Tang Qianqian's table, and politely greeted her, "What a coincidence, Ms. Tang, hello!"

Tang Qianqian glanced at Cheng Ye, smiled slightly, and said, "Hello!"

Cheng Ye smiled at Murong Fangfang, who was sitting next to Tang Qianqian, and then asked Tang Qianqian, "President Tang, is it convenient for me to sit here?"

Tang Qianqian didn't think much of it, put down her chopsticks, and said, "President Cheng is joking. You can sit wherever you want, as long as there are no seats here."

After saying that, he asked Fangfang, "Fangfang, are you full?"

Fangfang put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full."

Just then, Li Wei and the others finished eating, and Baihe asked, "Sisters, is everyone full?"

"I'm full."

"Now that everyone has eaten, let's go upstairs and rest for a bit!"

Tang Qianqian said to Cheng Ye, "Excuse me, Mr. Cheng, we're all full! Please excuse us."

With that, he and Murong Fangfang left with Baihe and the others.

"Mr. Tang, take care."

Seeing that Tang Qianqian and the others had finished eating and left, Cheng Ye gave a wry smile to himself, said something, and then returned to Qin Shao's table. Guo Shao asked with slight surprise, "Brother Cheng, why do I feel like you know Tang Qianqian?"

Cheng Ye smiled and said, "My Tianhai Group and the Tang Group are currently in a cooperative phase, you know what that means."

Guo Shao nodded and then said, "No wonder."

……

Back in his room, Wen Shao plopped down on the bed, muttering to himself, "How strange! Who was that woman? Just looking at her felt like being electrocuted. Could she be the legendary Goddess of Lightning? Pshaw..."

As he spoke, Wen Shao gave himself a big scornful look, then slammed his fist on the bed, yelling, "Damn it, who cares who she is? Humph, she dared to tell me to get lost, does she really think she's someone special?" He chuckled sinisterly and continued, "Hehe, such a beautiful woman, if I could..."

"Crack!"

The door opened, and Qin Shao and the other two left. Seeing Wen Shao sitting on the bed with a gloomy and silly look, Qin Shao asked, "Wen Shao, what's making you so happy?"

Wen Shao glanced at Qin Shao and the others, and casually replied, "It's nothing."

"Tch! Young Master Wen, look at you, your worries are written all over your face," Young Master Guo teased.

Wen Shao was slightly taken aback, touched his face, and asked, "Really?"

With Wen Shao's cunning schemes, not only Qin Shao saw through them at a glance, but even Guo Shao and Cheng Ye figured them out pretty accurately.

Guo Shao chuckled and said, "You know perfectly well whether you've got your eye on it or not. What, are you eyeing those pretty girls?"
