Chapter 1338 -1327: Talented Xianling (2)
This reminded Song Xiaodong of a novel by Master Huang Yi, which had two female leads. The book was called âTale of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty,â and one of the female leads was named Wanwan, while the other was Shi Feixian.
Qingluan seemed like Wanwan from the story, and this Chu Xianling matched with Shi Feixian.
At least in terms of temperament, they really were quite similar.
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, âItâs nothing, I was just waiting for a while, and the scenery here is quite nice. This must be Miss Chu Xianling, right?â
Yang Yushi chuckled softly and said, âIndeed, itâs Xianling. It seems youâre more interested in Xianling than in me, Iâm a bit jealous.â
Chu Xianling smiled faintly and said, âMr. Song, these past few days, Iâve often heard about you from Yushi. Itâs the first time Iâve heard her praise a man like this. Itâs truly better to see in person, Mr. Song, you indeed have unique qualities.â
Song Xiaodong smiled gently and said, âMiss Chu, youâre flattering me. Itâs our first meeting; I wonder what unique qualities Miss Chu sees in me.â
Chu Xianling said, âMr. Song, facing us, you can still maintain such a clear gaze and handle everything smoothly. Thatâs already quite unique. Moreover, you even made Yushi say sheâs jealous, thatâs not just unique, itâs astonishing.â
Chapter 1328: You Almost Kissed Me
Song Xiaodong turned to Yang Yushi and said, âYushi, this joke of yours is too much.â
Yang Yushi smiled slightly and said, âIâm not joking, Yushi is indeed a bit jealous.â
Song Xiaodong couldnât help but feel amused and helpless; these privileged girls, even someone like Yang Yushi, speak in a way that makes it hard for others to keep up.
Seeing Song Xiaodongâs embarrassment, Yang Yushi chuckled softly again and said, âAlright, letâs stop talking here. Shall we go inside, eat, and chat?â
The three of them boarded a small boat, Yang Yushiâs footsteps were unsteady, cautious, while Chu Xianling stood on the small boat as if she were one with it, making Song Xiaodong feel quite curious.
They reached the small island and, guided by a staff member, walked to a small wooden house.
The entire house was made of wood, appearing very exquisite. However, upon entering, it was surprisingly spacious inside, even more unique, with some porcelain and other antique items displayed on the shelves on either side.
Yang Yushi smiled and said, âXiaodong, do you have any interest in antiques?â
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, âNo, donât tell me, the porcelain here is all genuine antiques?â
Yang Yushi said, âOf course they are real, if they were fake, whatâs the point?â
Song Xiaodong couldnât help but be amazed. The current price of antique porcelain is quite high, even a casual piece could fetch hundreds of thousands, with better ones going for millions, or even tens of millions or more.
Even if Song Xiaodong didnât understand porcelain, the combined value of the pieces displayed here likely exceeded millions.
The decor of a restaurant had such high value, no wonder those kids felt honored to dine here earlier.
âThis restaurant is owned by Xianling, so what do you think, are you impressed with her?â Yang Yushi smiled and introduced.
Song Xiaodong couldnât help but praise, âThis isnât just impressed, Iâm utterly awestruck.â
Chu Xianling smiled slightly and said, âMr. Song, youâre praising too much. Today I just had the kitchen prepare a few things casually, I hope they meet your taste. Xianling has made the decision without consulting you, I hope you donât mind.â
âNo, no, just by the look of this place, the food here canât be bad. Iâm quite a hearty eater, there will definitely be no problem.â
Chu Xianlingâs words carried a celestial aura, while Song Xiaodong spoke more like a common man.
The food arrived, not extravagant dishes, but mostly vegetables. However, every dish was meticulously prepared, seeming more like artwork than food, meant for admiration rather than just eating.
This made even Song Xiaodong, who normally wasnât picky about food, canât help but become more refined in his manners.
Usually, Yang Yushi was very proud and spoke little in front of others, but in this setting, she was the most talkative, even lightening the atmosphere.
âXiaodong, no need to be polite, the two of us donât eat much, if you eat so sparingly, we might have a lot left over.â
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, âIn front of two beauties, I feel quite pressured and donât dare to eat freely.â
Chu Xianling smiled slightly and said, âMr. Song, youâre joking. You, being the Family Head, we canât compare to you.â
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, âBeing a Family Head is just a temporary title, I know very well who I am. Besides, Iâm just a crude soldier from the army, while you two are privileged women, how can I not feel pressured?â
Yang Yushi pursed her lips and smiled, âIf Ruonan comes, would you not be able to eat then?â
Song Xiaodong gave a wry smile and said, âIn front of the Senior Officer, of course, I canât act recklessly.â
Yang Yushiâs smile became even brighter, âNow Iâm even more looking forward to your meeting with Ruonan.â
As they ate and chatted casually, time passed by quite quickly.
