Chapter 504 – Ruthless Names

OK, anything else? Lin Yi glanced at Chengtian and was about to take his leave.

Wait Chengtian couldn’t let Lin Yi leave that easily, could he? His perfect plan would be ruined. He stopped Lin Yi. I see that you guys are heading for a midnight meal, right? In order to express my apologies, let me treat you!

Please join me! I wont be able to face myself if you dont come! I know it was my fault! Ive owned up and will change! Chengtian said. Give me some face!

Lin Yi looked at the nearby Xinyan, who was staring at him with expectation in her eyes. Lin Yi started to wonder if Xinyan wanted to have a meal with him. And what was going on between Xinyan and Chengtian anyway? Lin Yi hesitated.

Lin Yi would have had no interest in Chengtians invitation if it werent for Xinyan. But Xiaoxiao beat him to the punch. You wanna treat us?

Yeah. Xiaoxiao, please forgive my rudeness earlier! After learning of Xiaoxiaos special circumstances, Chengtian didnt want to make her an enemy so lost the scowl.

Is that so? Should we give him a chance, Lin Yi? Xiaoxiao winked at Lin Yi.

LinYi was taken aback, wondering what Xiaoxiao had in mind. When Xiaoxiao made that face, someone was bound to get their comeuppance! He was the victim the last few times Xiaoxiao wore that expression, while the unlucky victim seemed to be Chengtian this time.

So he nodded. As you wish.

Chengtian was over the moon with Lin Yis acceptance. Let’s go then, I’ll be treating today; order whatever you want. Let’s resolve this misunderstanding!

Oh, we planned to go to the top floor for our meal, let’s go then, Xiaoxiao said and nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Eh? Chengtian was stunned. This was Songjiang International Hotel! He had only been to the third and fourth floors. They were luxurious and fancy, and one meal cost him thousands upon thousands. If they went to the top floor, how expensive it would be! Although he had never gone, he could imagine it!

Eh? What’s wrong? Xiaoxiao asked curiously after noticing Chengtian pale. Why is the color draining from your face? Dont you practice the Iron Fist? Did you train in the Iron Face as well?

The Xiao brothers and Zhaolong were still following him, and he was the most talented being in the third generation. How could he allow such humiliation?

Bro Chengtian, I heard that the top floors like a palace, even the tablewares inlaid with diamonds. Wangba wanted to see it as well, but the common folk couldnt afford it. What if Chengtian couldnt afford such prices? He quietly brought up, Isnt it a little expensive?

Wangba didnt speak loudly, but Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao had no problem hearing him. She immediately replied, Is it? I sincerely had no idea. Why dont we go ourselves and not bankrupt Chengtian.

Xiaoxiaos words made Chengtian even angrier. He was the son of nobility. How could he allow someone to treat him with contempt? If he couldnt treat others to a meal, he would become a laughing stock. This is nothing, no skin off my back! I said Id be treating, so if you like whats on the menu, order it! Chengtian said generously as he waved his hand.

Gotta say, Bro Chengtian, you really are generous! My boyfriend isn’t nearly as generous as you! Xiaoxiao pumped her fist in happiness. Her words made Chengtians heart skip a beat, but he was well aware that couldnt be of two minds about Jingyi when chasing her as he wouldnt be able to pluck a good cherry! Xiaoxiao was ravishing, but he couldnt lay a hand on her, especially since her father was Tianlong! He would avoid Tianlong at all costs.

Chengtian had had his doubts about Xiaoxiao and Lin Yis relationship, but after hearing her call Lin Yi her boyfriend, Chengtian was on cloud nine. With this proof, he felt the money he was about to spend was worth every penny!

Let me introduce my friends. These two are from House Xiao, Xiao Wangba and Xiao Wangdao, Chengtian introduced after he reined in his emotions.

Hah? Xiaoxiaos eyes went wide. Wow, arent the Xiao brothers names too ruthless? Especially you, Xiao Wangba, it sounds so despotic!

Of course! Wangba nodded, thinking Xiaoxiao was praising him. He didnt hear the sarcastic tone in her voice.

When you merge our names together, the word Badao 1 forms! Wangdao nodded too. He didn’t notice Xiaoxiaos sarcasm either. This was not their fault, as House Xiao was respected and influential when their old man was still around, so even if people thought the Xiao brothers names were heteronymic, they felt it impolite to comment on it. Even though House Xiao just became destitute, no one had the time to tell the brothers.

Only Xinyan understood the sarcasm and couldn’t hold back a giggle. Which just made Zhaolong fall head over heels for her. Xinyan, there’s another girl to keep you company! I was afraid that you would feel awkward.

Xinyan remained quiet. She stared at Lin Yi in silence and her heart sank. She wasn’t sure if this was because Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao were a couple or because she didnt fit in.

1. Badao means tyrannical.
