FID – Chapter 277

The man slightly inclined his head, and the surrounding lights hit his face, forming a thin halo around him. He looked divine as an immortal.

Beneath the lamplights, his eyes appeared deep and seemingly reflecting starlight. His gaze on her was gentle and deeply affectionate, more charming than the galaxy.

Liu Yusheng drowned in his gaze. Her heart softened as if dipped in sugar water.

He bore in mind every promise he made when he was a kid.

He was also fulfilling them, one by one.

Liu Yusheng smiled.

This man.

She loved him.

The girl’s smile under the thousands of lights was absolutely beautiful, softening someone’s eyes and melting his heart.

It made him want to treasure her, made him want to hide her in private.

People hurried to and fro, but the two people gazing at each other became a scenery.

It was still early, so Feng Qingbai didn’t directly take the girl to float a lantern in the river. 

He selected the largest restaurant in the city and first took her to eat.

Qian’s Restaurant was a very simple name, which happened to be owned by the Qian family.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the restaurant’s business was very good and crowded.

However, as soon as they saw Feng Qingbai, the shopkeeper abandoned the other customers, immediately greeted him, and led him to the third floor private room with familiarity.

As the shopkeeper of the largest restaurant, he usually entertained all influential officials and powerful people, so in the matter of recognition, there mustn’t be the slightest negligence. Otherwise, if his eyes failed him, he might offend a noble guest they couldn’t afford to offend.

The shopkeeper naturally recognized the King of Nanling. How could he dare to neglect?

Along the stairs in the building and up, the noise from the first floor lobby gradually weakened.

They walked through the elegant seats on the second floor and up to the third floor. Voices could be heard in every compartment.

It was evident that the restaurant was full.

The shopkeeper opened the door of one of the rooms and spoke respectfully, “This is the room reserved for the guests in the morning. Your ordered meal will be delivered immediately, please take a seat.”

Feng Qingbai nodded at him and led the young girl into the room. The shopkeeper immediately closed the door and retreated.

Then he heaved a long sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

The King of Nanling! His aura was truly too strong. He felt a strong sense of oppression just by standing near him.

In the room, Liu Yusheng laughed, “You booked the room early in the morning?”

Otherwise, with such an in demand business, it would have been impossible to find empty seats.

Feng Qingbai merely stared and smiled at the young girl without answering.

He planned early on to take her out, so he must be prepared early as a matter of course.

He didn’t answer, but Liu Yusheng surmised that she had it right and stopped asking further. She turned her head from the window of the room to look down and enjoyed the panoramic view of the city lights. 

This room has an excellent view.

She had an unobstructed view of the lights of the whole capital street from their position.

Without going shopping, they could enjoy the view just by sitting here. It was also quiet.

For her, he put enough thought into it.

“Feng Qingbai,” the girl suddenly called.

“Hmm.”

She turned around, did not speak, only looked at him and smiled.

“Feng Qingbai.”

“Hmm.” He curled his lips, matching her little playfulness.

She just wanted to call him.

He just wanted to spoil her.

There was no extra conversation in the room.

The young girl was half propped up on the windowsill, but kept looking back at him as if he was better than the view out the window.

From time to time, she called his name.

He then responded, doting and indulgent.

He let her be naughty and occasionally pull his fingers, tug on his sleeves, and kick his shoes.

She seemed to enjoy this.

It was only when there was a knock on the door outside the compartment that the girl stopped.

She let go of the man she had trampled on and sat upright.

That earned her a teasing look from the man.

“Come in.”

The door opened, and it was the shopkeeper himself who brought up their meal with a waiter. He was also holding a small wine jar.

Liu Yusheng recognized the Xinghua Village jar at a glance.

Xinghua Village fruit wine.

The shopkeeper quietly served the food and wine and told them to enjoy them before dragging the waiter and retreating solemnly. He didn’t dare to look at Feng Qingbai all throughout.

“Look at how you scared the shopkeeper,” the young girl seized the opportunity to tease him.

“He is timid.” The man raised his eyebrows.

He was not a three-headed, six-armed man, nor someone who would eat people if they looked at him more.

“You are too intimidating.”

“Okay, it’s me who’s too intimidating.” He smiled, not arguing with her.

He indulged her with an exaggerated rhetoric.

The table was full of her favorite dishes with light flavors, plus a jar of Xinghua Village wine to relieve her homesickness.

“Why didn’t you order something you like to eat?”

The girl ate a piece of steamed pork ribs that he fed her.

“What you like to eat, I also like.”

She raised her lips and squinted happily.

He liked this look the most.

Like a kitten that has been caressed and strutting with pride.

The room was quiet, but always full of warmth.

The noise that came outside the door disturbed the peaceful room.

“There are so many rooms upstairs, so no matter what, you must find a way to vacate one for us.  Do you know what status we have? It’s an honor for you to have us in your restaurant, but you can’t even provide a private room? Where can we put our faces?” A domineering voice echoed from outside the door.

“Well, gentlemen, it’s not that I don’t want to provide a private room for you, but all those who have booked private rooms today are distinguished guests, and I can’t offend any of them, so please bear with me. Why don’t I find a seat on the second floor with a good view for you?” The shopkeeper’s voice should be accompanied by a smile.

“Bastard, are you telling us to go to the second floor? Boss, you probably don’t know our identity, right? Do you know who this is? Young Master Feng! How many people in the whole capital are more distinguished than him! Get lost. We must have a room today. Just let me see who we can’t offend!”

Outside the door, a blue-robed young master pushed aside the shopkeeper who was blocking the front, looked for the most expensive-looking compartment, and kicked the door open, “You people inside, get out this instant. I want this room today!”

The shopkeeper saw which room this man kicked and was so scared that his legs almost gave out. He wanted to stop him again, but the several people who came with him had already gone past him.

They were a line of men and women, all dressed in brocade, exquisite and luxurious.

The group drew closer only to find that their companion who kicked the door did no other action after that sentence and instead stood rock still at the door. He was looking inside the room in terror, shivering.

The young man in white at the lead frowned. He gazed inward, and his expression drastically changed.

How could he be here?!

He only saw two people in the room, a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in a brocade robe, handsome and elegant. The aura around him was cold and noble. He sat there indifferently, and did not even look in the direction of the door. Instead, he held his chopsticks and served the girl sitting next to him!

On the contrary, the young girl ate while tilting her head, curiously sizing them up!

The white-clad man took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart. It was only after a while did he arch his hand and bow his head, “Nephew Feng Moyun greets Imperial Uncle.”
