Chapter 154: Chapter 108: Happy Troubles
A stunning woman with a graceful figure was standing downstairs from the Waldorf Hotel.
When she saw the familiar blue BMW 7 Series, Xu Ying strode over with her long legs, a smile on her face.
When Pei Yinyin got out of the car, she caught her best friend’s teasing gaze.
Pei Yinyin couldn’t help but surrender, saying shyly, "Yingying, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Hmph! I’m looking at a certain shameless, heartless woman. I told you everything."
"And what do you do? You go and sleep with my man behind my back and don’t even tell me."
Xu Ying grumbled and shot Pei Yinyin a glare.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. From now on, we’re true sisters!"
Pei Yinyin felt a little awkward about it too.
Their friendship was deep, but who knew if it could have been maintained after they both got married.
But things were different now. Since they shared the same man, their bond would naturally grow even stronger.
"Darling, did you miss me?"
Seeing Qi Sheng’s handsome face, Xu Ying couldn’t help but swoon.
’It’s a lot of pressure, having a man this handsome.’
She had to spend ages getting dolled up every time they went out, terrified people would say she wasn’t good enough for Qi Sheng.
"Of course I did. After we eat, I’ll take you two shopping."
Qi Sheng remembered he had only bought Xu Ying a few purses before, so he planned to take them on a proper shopping spree later.
"Hubby, I love you to death!"
Xu Ying knew exactly how to please Qi Sheng, cooing the word "hubby."
She then offered up her strawberry-flavored lips, letting Qi Sheng savor them.
"So sappy."
Pei Yinyin couldn’t bring herself to be as bold as Xu Ying and call him "hubby" in public.
In private, however, she called him it just as much.
The restaurant they were headed to was on the 51st floor of the Waldorf Hotel.
The decor was elegant and luxurious, exuding an air of sophistication.
"Wow, this Qilin Steakhouse is super expensive. Yinyin and I have only been here once, and that was for my birthday," Xu Ying whispered to Qi Sheng, clinging to his arm.
"Don’t worry. Your man’s here. Order whatever you want," Qi Sheng said with a carefree smile.
Even if a meal cost tens of thousands, he could afford it.
"Mwah! Love You!"
Xu Ying loved seeing this domineering side of Qi Sheng; it made her body feel a little tingly.
"Welcome to Qilin Steakhouse."
The waiter at the entrance warmly welcomed them into the restaurant.
The trio—one man and two women—was naturally eye-catching.
"We’d like a table by the window."
Qi Sheng walked into the restaurant, gave it a calm glance, and gestured toward the tables by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Of course. This way, sir, and you two ladies."
The waiter led them to a table and handed Qi Sheng the menus.
"You two pick first. Don’t worry about the price; just order whatever you like."
With that, Qi Sheng started playing on his phone.
"I want this 1,788 yuan Tomahawk steak. We couldn’t bring ourselves to order it last time."
"But with hubby here this time, it’s a must-have."
Xu Ying ordered the Tomahawk steak without a second thought, adding a few other dishes she liked.
"And two orders of the French Fines de Claires oyster platter."
Pei Yinyin glanced at the menu and only ordered one dish—and it was for Qi Sheng.
"Ooh, Yinyin, don’t tell me you’ve already worn hubby out?" Xu Ying couldn’t resist teasing her best friend.
’This feeling of sharing a man with my best friend is so strange,’ she thought.
The waiter was completely dumbfounded.
He didn’t dare to even think about the trio’s relationship and just silently jotted down their order.
"Foie gras, lobster bisque, grilled silver cod, Alaskan crab cakes... that’s all for now. And a pitcher of iced orange juice."
Qi Sheng wasn’t trying to be extravagant, but the bill for the food already totaled five thousand yuan.
When the food arrived, the girls did what girls do: they let their phones eat first.
Qi Sheng showed off some of his photography skills, completely blowing Xu Ying and Pei Yinyin away.
His skills were on par with a master photographer, of course.
Every casual shot he took was stunning.
Once the photos for their social media feeds were taken care of, Qi Sheng could finally start eating.
He cut into the medium-rare steak; the meat was tender and delicious.
The elegant ambiance, the breathtaking high-rise view...
Paired with two beauties who were a feast for the eyes themselves.
This lunch was truly a feast for the senses.
Despite Xu Ying’s boisterous personality, she didn’t have much of an appetite.
At best, she could eat only slightly more than Pei Yinyin.
In the end, most of the Tomahawk steak ended up in Qi Sheng’s stomach.
After they had polished off every last bite, Qi Sheng wiped his mouth.
He whisked the two girls away to begin the next part of their date.
...
「Taikoo Li.」
Qi Sheng walking down the street with two beautiful women naturally turned a lot of heads.
Even on Chunxi Road, a place teeming with fashionable men and women...
...the three of them were the most eye-catching sight.
Just as Qi Sheng was wondering which store to take Pei Yinyin and Xu Ying to first, he happened to spot a Vacheron Constantin boutique in the distance.
Qi Sheng’s interest was suddenly piqued. "First, come with me to look at some watches," he said to the two of them.
"Okay!"
Pei Yinyin and Xu Ying nodded obediently and followed Qi Sheng into the Vacheron Constantin boutique.
When it came to high-end watch brands, the most prestigious was undoubtedly Patek Philippe.
Its status was like that of Rolls-Royce in the automotive world or Hermes in the realm of luxury goods—unrivaled.
Because its position was so secure, Patek Philippe rarely opened boutiques in places like shopping malls.
It was almost as if they disdained the need for publicity.
They only established Patek Philippe Mansions in Shanghai and the Capital City.
These served as exclusive venues for customer experience and purchases.
If you wanted to buy a Patek Philippe, you had to make a special trip.
Today’s visit was just a whim for Qi Sheng, and he couldn’t be bothered to make a special trip.
So, Patek Philippe was out of the question.
And as for the perennial runner-up, Vacheron Constantin, its craftsmanship and design were not far behind Patek Philippe’s.
