Chapter 49

Qing Ye stopped her steps to enter the alley and walked towards the car parked by the roadside.

At this moment, the beautiful female driver of Shan Wang Xia was just getting out of the driver's seat, anxiously checking the location of the flat tire.

At the same time, Shan Wang Xia also got out of the car, and the first thing she saw was Qing Ye walking over leisurely.

"Shan Wang, what a coincidence!" Qing Ye greeted.

"Xiangshan, good evening." Shan Wang Xia replied with a flawless smile.

At this moment, she was wearing a delicate dress, along with a necklace and earrings, clearly having just returned from a ball or banquet.

It wasn't a luxurious gown with a long train, but a very exquisite little dress that accentuated her already curvaceous figure, making her look even more graceful.

At this moment, no matter how you looked at Shan Wang Xia, she didn't seem like a high school student but more like a young lady from a wealthy family who had just returned from a banquet.

But she was indeed a young lady from a wealthy family, so it wasn't wrong. One could only say that this dress and jewelry highlighted her as a young lady to the utmost. Now, anyone who saw her wouldn't associate her with a high school student.

"Judging by your appearance, you went to a ball tonight?" Qing Ye looked up and down at Shan Wang Xia, who was wearing light makeup and looked even more beautiful.

"It was just a boring gathering! I only needed to show up; I have no interest in pretending to smile with those people." Shan Wang Xia said with a frown, clearly not fond of such gatherings.

"Living in this society, you are always involuntarily drawn into it. You enjoy the natural glory and wealth, so there are some things you can't avoid." Qing Ye said with a smile.

"What about Xiangshan? What are you doing out so late?" Shan Wang Xia asked, looking at Qing Ye.

"Long night, can't sleep, so I came out for a drink." Qing Ye replied.

"A drink? I heard from Kaori that you seem to like drinking." Shan Wang Xia nodded and said.

"Yes, I like fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women, with fine wine being the top priority." Qing Ye smiled.

"Like beautiful women? Xiangshan is very honest!" Shan Wang Xia smiled.

"Is there anything wrong with liking beautiful women? But my liking of beautiful women doesn't mean I want to possess them; I merely appreciate beautiful things! Beautiful women are one of them. Just like now, I'm still here talking to you, Shan Wang, because I can also admire your beauty while talking! If it were a man, I would have already turned around to drink, and wouldn't waste time here." Qing Ye said very naturally.

"Xiangshan, you are really, too honest." Shan Wang Xia looked at Qing Ye, who was talking fluently, with a smile. "But I still appreciate Xiangshan's compliment, calling me a beautiful woman."

"Just the truth. Well, I've admired your beauty enough, it's time for me to go for a drink. I'll take my leave then." Qing Ye nodded at Shan Wang Xia and turned to walk towards the alley where Ono-ya was located.

Just as Qing Ye turned around, the beautiful female driver, who was checking the car's tire, came to report to Shan Wang Xia.

"Miss, it's the rear tire that burst! I've already called for a new car to pick you up, please wait a moment." The beautiful female driver said.

"I understand." Shan Wang Xia nodded, then looked at the departing Qing Ye and suddenly called out to him.

"Xiangshan, is the place you're going to drink in there?" Shan Wang Xia asked.

"Yes, it's in there." Qing Ye turned to look at Shan Wang Xia and said.

"I have to wait for the new car, if you don't mind, let's have a drink together during this time!" Shan Wang Xia smiled.

This smile was so natural that Qing Ye could tell it was completely different from her usual polite smiles, as it came from the heart.

So Qing Ye also smiled.

"Ha, of course, please, Shan Wang Xia." Qing Ye gestured for her to come in.

"Xiangshan looks very happy." Shan Wang Xia instructed the beautiful female driver and then turned to walk into the alley.

"Having a beautiful woman to drink with is indeed a very happy thing! I just didn't expect that Shan Wang would also drink." Qing Ye walked side by side with Shan Wang Xia into the alley.

"Why can't I drink? I naturally learned from attending various banquets. But if I have to accompany you, the fee is quite high! Can Xiangshan afford it?" Shan Wang Xia said.

"I definitely can't afford it, so I can't have Shan Wang accompany me to drink. But if Shan Wang is interested, I can drink with you for free." Qing Ye smiled.

"Xiangshan is very good at talking!" Shan Wang Xia smiled.

Thus, the two walked and chatted to the front of Ono-ya, and Qing Ye opened the sliding door.

Immediately, Ono's greeting came from inside, "Welcome."

"Boss, good evening." Qing Ye greeted Ono.

"Good evening." Ono naturally greeted back when he saw it was Qing Ye.

But at the same time, Ono also saw Shan Wang Xia, who followed Qing Ye inside, and was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and nodded at her.

At the same time, the customers in the shop also saw Qing Ye. They were about to greet him but then saw Shan Wang Xia and were momentarily speechless.

This wasn't just because Shan Wang Xia was beautiful, but more because her dress was completely out of place in the shop's atmosphere.

Since everyone was stunned, Qing Ye had to take the initiative to greet them.

"Uncle Oi, good evening." Qing Ye first greeted the bathhouse owner, Oi Saburo.

"Xiao Lin, good evening." Then he greeted Xiao Lin Masahiro.

"Koike, Sato, good evening." Finally, Qing Ye greeted Koike Yasu and Sato Itsuki, two male hosts who hadn't been there for a while.

These were all the customers in Ono-ya at the moment: Oi Saburo, Xiao Lin Masahiro, and Koike Yasu and Sato Itsuki.

"Ah, young man, good evening!" Oi Saburo finally reacted and responded.

"Xiangshan, good evening. I'm really grateful for what you did the other day." Xiao Lin Masahiro thanked, clearly referring to the time Qing Ye helped him create an opportunity to send a girl home.

"It's nothing, just a small favor!" Qing Ye smiled.

"Hey, Xiangshan! Long time no see." Finally, Koike Yasu and Sato Itsuki also greeted.
