After delivering the coffee, Little Li quickly walked away.
Su Yang picked up the coffee, took a sip, and looked at Feng Kun, saying, "President Feng, is there anything else on your end?"
Feng Kun shook his head and was about to stand up, but he suddenly remembered something and added, "By the way, Mr. Su, for the money you paid for the room yesterday, just show this card when you go to check out later, and the staff will refund the money to you."
Su Yang nodded. "Okay, got it."
"Alright then, there's nothing else, uh..."
Seeing that Feng Kun seemed to have more to say, Su Yang smiled and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly."
"Hehe, it's actually nothing much, but if President Zhuang asks you about me delivering the card to you..."
When Feng Kun reached this point, Su Yang understood. He raised his hand to interrupt, "President Feng, you don't need to say anymore, I understand. If Uncle Zhuang really asks, rest assured, I'll put in a few good words for you."
"Oh, haha, okay, okay, then thank you, Mr. Su."
"It's no trouble, you're welcome."
"Alright, then I'll leave you to your business, Mr. Su. I'll be off."
"Okay, see you around."
"Will do!" Feng Kun shook hands with Su Yang and then got up to leave.
After he left, Su Yang took out a cigarette and lit it.
Just as he lit it, that Little Li from earlier walked over again.
Su Yang turned his head to look and was slightly taken aback. "Hmm? Is there something you need?"
"Uh... it's like this, Mr. Su, I saw that it's still early, so I wanted to ask if you've had breakfast. If not, we can provide breakfast for you."
"Oh, no need, I'm not hungry. Besides, if I wanted to eat, I would go to the restaurant myself. You have a restaurant here, right?"
"Yes, we do."
"That's fine then. You don't need to worry about me, go on with your work."
"Okay, Mr. Su." Little Li originally wanted to show off a bit in front of Su Yang, but she didn't expect Su Yang wouldn't fall for it.
She had no choice but to leave resentfully.
A few minutes later, Su Yang finished smoking, put the black card Feng Kun gave him into his bag, then picked up the coffee, downed it in one gulp, and got up to head to the front desk to check out.
He could have shown the black card to get a refund, but he didn't care about this small amount of money and couldn't be bothered to get it refunded.
After finishing, he turned and left the hotel.
At this time, Little Li jogged over to the front desk and said to another girl, "Lili, you have to remember this handsome guy from just now."
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you see how polite President Feng was sitting in front of him just now? He even gave him a black card."
Because there were many people in the hotel, the bottom-level employees hadn't yet received the message Feng Kun sent down.
"A black card?" Lili asked in surprise.
"Yes, and it's not an ordinary black card. I guess we'll get the news in a bit. I wonder what kind of background this handsome guy has to have such great face."
"Oh well, who cares. These aren't things that small fries like us should worry about. Just doing our jobs well is enough," Lili said indifferently.
"Sigh, you're really zen. I envy these people so much, and that guy just now was also very handsome." Little Li looked towards the hotel entrance with a yearning look in her eyes.
"What's the use of envying? We're just ordinary people..." Lili said this and suddenly turned to look at Little Li. "Wait, you're not trying to seduce that handsome guy from just now, are you?"
"Mhm... huh?"
Hearing this, Little Li immediately blushed to the roots of her neck. "Oh Lili, what nonsense are you saying? I'm just purely envious. What are you babbling about? I'm ignoring you! Hmph!"
After saying that, Little Li shyly fled the scene.
......
On the other side, Su Yang was already sitting in a taxi heading to the Tianxiang Shuian villa area.
Originally, he planned to return to Haicheng after helping Zhuang Changyun brew the remaining two courses of medicine later.
However, he had agreed with Zhuang Mengli yesterday to go racing tonight, so he couldn't leave for now and had to change the time to tomorrow.
Although he didn't have anything particularly urgent that required him to return to Haicheng.
'Actually, it doesn't matter if I stay and play for a couple more days. If worse comes to worst, I'll leave the day after tomorrow. Anyway, I'll just be idle when I go back. Things with my parents have already been arranged, and Old Meng hasn't notified me about the racing track matters for the time being.'
'Pan Pan hasn't urged me to go back either. Well, let's just leave it at that. I'll go back whenever I want to.'
Soon, the taxi arrived at the main gate of Tianxiang Shuian.
Su Yang paid, got out of the car, and walked to the front of the security booth. The security guard from yesterday saw him and quickly walked out. "Hello, Mr. Su."
"Ah, right, what was your name again?"
"Qin Hu."
"Oh right. I can go in now, right?" Su Yang smiled.
"Of course, of course, I'll open the gate for you immediately." Qin Hu turned and walked into the security booth. Two seconds later, the large iron gate next to it slowly opened.
Su Yang nodded and smiled at Qin Hu, then stepped inside.
At 10:10 AM, Su Yang arrived outside the main door of Villa No. 1.
Although the door could be opened from inside the house, Old Liu still ran out personally to welcome Su Yang.
"Ah, Uncle Liu, why did you come out to open the door?"
"It's nothing, yesterday..."
"Oh, don't take yesterday's matter to heart. It's not a big deal, don't think about it anymore."
"Haha, alright. I just wanted to apologize to you."
"Please don't! It wasn't anything serious, there's nothing to apologize for. Let's go."
"Alright, alright. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"Then I'll ask the auntie to make something for you. Go rest in the living room first, President Zhuang is waiting for you."
"Okay, you don't need to worry about me, I know the way."
"Alright then, I'll go ask the auntie to make breakfast for you."
"Okay, sorry for the trouble, Uncle Liu."
"Oh, Little Su, please don't be so polite with me. It's what I should do."
The two chatted idly for a few sentences and arrived at the lobby. Su Yang walked to the right, and Old Liu walked to the left.
Soon, Su Yang crossed the lobby, bypassed a wall, and arrived at the spacious living room area.
Zhuang Yong saw Su Yang at a glance. He immediately stood up with a smile and walked forward to welcome him. "Little Su, long time no see! I missed you to death!"
"Haha, Uncle Zhuang, it's only been one night since we last saw each other."
"A day apart feels like three autumns! Hahaha, come quickly and sit down."
"Okay." Zhuang Yong happily pulled Su Yang's hand and walked to the sofa to sit down.
Ever since all these heavy stones in his heart had landed, he looked several years younger.
"By the way, Little Su, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, Uncle Liu went to ask the auntie to make something for me."
"Oh, that's good then. Have a cup of tea and smoke a cigar first!"
"Will do."
"Huh? Where's Mengli?" Su Yang asked.
"Mengmeng? I don't know. This little girl likes to sleep in. I guess she hasn't gotten up yet. Let me give her a call."
"Who says I haven't gotten up!" A voice like a silver bell came from afar.
Zhuang Mengli walked over, skipping with her hands behind her back.
Today, she again tied her long hair into a high ponytail. On her upper body, she changed into a Valentino off-white long-sleeved silk shirt with a bow, paired with dark blue jeans on her lower body, and a pair of grayish-white Adidas Originals low-top casual shoes on her feet.
She looked very youthful and lively.
"Oh ho, you actually came this early?" Zhuang Yong smiled as he poured tea for Su Yang.
"I was with him... uh, I woke up early today." Zhuang Mengli almost blurted out that she had gotten out of bed with him.
Realizing her slip halfway through, she quickly changed her tune.
Zhuang Yong did not notice anything unusual about her. He waved and called out, "Come here, have you eaten breakfast yet?"
"Not yet."
"Perfect, you can eat with Little Su in a bit."
"Okay."
Zhuang Mengli agreed and went over to sit next to Su Yang. The two exchanged a glance, and Zhuang Mengli hastily turned her head away.
Just thinking about sleeping in the same bed with Su Yang last night, and waking up to find herself hugging him, made her heart race involuntarily.
She had felt fine when they went to sleep last night, but today, for some reason, just recalling that scene made her blush. Even though they had not done anything, she could not help but feel shy and nervous. Deep down, however, there was a tiny hint of sweetness.
'Oh no, have I actually fallen for this guy?' Zhuang Mengli bit her lip and thought to herself.
'He has so many women around him. Even though I am not afraid, I... ugh, no, I cannot fall for him!'
'But for some reason, if I do not see him for even a little while, my mind is completely full of him. Ugh, this is so annoying!'
'Back off, back off, back off! Su Yang, back off!'
Beside her, Su Yang noticed Zhuang Mengli's expressions. He asked, "What are you doing? Smiling one second and frowning the next."
"Huh? Was I?" Zhuang Mengli snapped back to reality and said.
"You were. If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Zhuang."
Zhuang Yong was busy cutting a cigar for Su Yang and had not noticed a thing. "Little Su, just ignore her. She is always like this. She cannot sit still, and the moment she sits down, her mind wanders off into space. Don't mind her. Here, try this cigar."
Saying that, Zhuang Yong handed the lit cigar to Su Yang.
