Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Checked into a Hotel
Watching Huang Mingze’s retreating figure, Tang Jiancheng couldn’t help but sigh.
Picking up his glass and raising it, he smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, I toast you. After this drink, I will not disturb you any further."
After finishing his drink, Tang Jiancheng stood up and left.
Watching him leave, the private room was left with only the three of them, and Qin Wanru couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
"I am really sorry about today."
Looking at Liu Zheng, Qin Wanru apologized deeply, "I believe that the fact we were dining here today was definitely informed to Huang Mingze by my father."
Lowering his head to take a bite of food, Liu Zheng shook his head and said, "It’s fine, we should continue eating."
Having said that, he continued to eat, looking very hungry.
But at that moment, perhaps the only person who could really concentrate on eating was Liu Zheng himself.
Qin Wanru no longer felt like eating. She looked at Liu Zheng, who was enjoying his meal, and asked curiously, "I am actually a bit surprised, do you really have a way to sell those mats?"
Her concern was indeed reasonable.
At least for Liu Suqiu sitting beside her, she was equally worried.
So.
Having heard Qin Wanru’s words, she immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Isn’t that so? Those mats are so expensive. I tried to stop you at the time, but I couldn’t at all. You say these expensive mats, even if you sell them for over a hundred, let alone two hundred or more, no one in Qing Shan County would buy them, right?"
Liu Suqiu, frustrated like a blacksmith stuck with iron that wouldn’t turn to steel, went up and pinched Liu Zheng.
In pain, Liu Zheng jolted and swiftly dodged.
He shook his head, his face full of confidence, and said, "Seeing how worried you look, since I said I can sell them, then I definitely will be able to sell them. Trust me, I’ll be right. Come on, let’s continue eating, lest it all gets cold."
Watching the carefree Liu Zheng, who could actually continue eating, Qin Wanru and Liu Suqiu exchanged glances, truly feeling helpless.
Was his heart not too big? Even at this time, he was still so relaxed; it was hard to understand where his confidence came from.
After about half an hour, Liu Zheng sat up straight, then rubbed his round belly.
"Cough cough, I’m full."
Having said that, he stood up, looking like someone who had eaten his fill and was ready to leave.
However, the words that came out of his mouth made the two women exchange glances once again, helplessly at a loss.
"Alright, I’ve eaten my fill, so you can stay here for the night."
Originally, Qin Wanru had intended to treat Liu Zheng to a meal, and she had already informed the bar and placed some money there.
But now, as Tang Jiancheng had said, Liu Zheng’s meals at the restaurant would be on the house from now on, so this meal was essentially Tang Jiancheng’s treat.
Since that was the case, and it was already so late, she naturally couldn’t let Liu Zheng walk home in the middle of the night.
Although she had originally intended to stay at the hotel and open a room, potentially to engage in some activities with Liu Suqiu that were not suitable for children,
But.
After what had just transpired, Liu Zheng had lost the interest.
And besides, accommodation here would definitely not be cheap.
He had been planning to refuse, but couldn’t withstand Qin Wanru’s persuasion and ultimately had to agree.
The group went to the bar, and when Qin Wanru was about to book a room, the bartender immediately recognized Liu Zheng and quickly trotted over.
"Mr. Liu, hello! Mr. Tang has already instructed us, your room has been prepared for you."
Upon hearing the waiter’s words, Qin Wanru couldn’t help but feel embarrassed again.
Today was supposed to be her treat for Liu Zheng to have a meal, and she had already made preparations for the accommodation as well.
However.
The current situation was that Tang Jiancheng had unexpectedly taken care of everything in one go,
making it seem like she hadn’t put much effort into it.
Feeling like she had lost face, Qin Wanru said, "I’m so sorry that today’s events have upset you. Liu Zheng, I’ll find an opportunity to offer an apology next time."
Truth be told, today’s events indeed left Liu Zheng somewhat displeased.
But he was not unreasonable.
The person who started this was not Qin Wanru, and it could even be said that she too was a victim.
So Liu Zheng wasn’t going to dump all the responsibility on Qin Wanru.
"Wan Ru, it’s not your fault. I’m not blaming you at all. Besides, we are friends; there’s no need to talk about apologies."
Hearing him say this, Qin Wanru’s mood relaxed quite a bit.
After all, she had been genuinely afraid that Liu Zheng would be angry.
Now that Liu Zheng had spoken frankly, she naturally felt much better inside.
After saying goodbye to Qin Wanru with the room card in hand, he walked upstairs with the beautiful waitress from the bar.
Upon reaching the room door, the waitress opened it, gave a brief introduction, and then left.
Looking at the open room door, Liu Sumei, who was following behind Liu Zheng, had a change of expression that wasn’t too pleasant.
She pointed inside the room, and asked uncertainly, "Why is there only one room?"
Especially when she saw that there was only one large bed inside the room, her face turned red all the way to the base of her neck.
Faced with this situation, she simply shook her head in refusal.
"No, I can’t sleep with you." As she said this, she turned around and started walking downstairs, saying, "I need to ask the front desk for another room."
Seeing her about to go and get another room, Liu Zheng quickly grabbed her arm.
"Don’t go, why the rush?"
While speaking, Liu Zheng showed a helpless look and said, "Tang must have thought we were a couple, that’s why he booked two rooms. If you go downstairs now to get another room, with Tang gone, they certainly won’t let you have it for free. Wouldn’t that be a big loss?"
"No, it’s not a problem if they don’t waive the fee. It’s not a big deal; I can just pay for it myself."
As Liu Suqiu spoke, her face turned red as she forcefully pulled on her arm.
Blinking, Liu Zheng coughed dryly and said, "You’ll pay for it yourself? It’s not that you can’t, but I’m afraid you might be reluctant."
"Would I be that stingy?"
"Yes, you’re definitely not stingy, but you have to understand, I saw at the front desk, the cheapest room here is 668, and a room like this must be over a thousand. Are you willing to spend that much money on a room?"
"What? The cheapest is 668?"
Stunned by the number, Liu Suqiu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Just moments before, she was actually thinking that for one night it might cost at most around two hundred yuan.
If she braced herself, she could also just get her own room to stay in.
But after hearing the number 668, Liu Suqiu was a bit taken aback.
Reluctant! She truly felt reluctant.
