Chapter 104: Playing Along: Long Shin's Mischievous Streak

Green Garden restaurant…

One of the top restaurants in Rivertown, Green Garden was one of the only 3-star establishments in the area. The place was located on the western side and attracted many business professionals for negotiations because of its elegant building and refreshing atmosphere.

A white Mercedes pulled up to the main entrance and Long Shin exited the car, extending his arm to assist Liu Minger even though she had no difficulty getting out. It just felt like a nice gesture to show her care, and they walked hand-in-hand with a sense of joy like newlyweds.

Meanwhile, Cha Ying followed behind them and silently lamented, 'Don't you have any shame? Spare us single people from more misery.'

On the path to entre the restaurant Long Shin could see multiple paintings about the history of Rivertown and China.

Both of the sides were filled with many different paintings.

these grand decoration created a fashionable yet ancient and elegant environment inside the restaurant.

Being lead by the waitress they walked towards one of the private booths.

a man with straight black hair and bear with a large frame and bulging muscles could be seen waiting outside the booth.

The man's heart skipped a beat as his gaze feasted upon the sight of Long Shin and Liu Minger. The woman was a vision of breathtaking beauty, her figure so sinfully seductive that it made all men ache with desire, while the man was a true paragon of male perfection; any woman in sight would have given anything to spend a night in his embrace.

The woman seemed like an ethereal being, an angel blessed with the body of a devil, while the man looked like a divinely crafted sculpture of pure masculinity.

"Miss Liu, we have been expecting you," the man's voice was welcoming, but Liu Minger couldn't help but feel that he was overlooking Cha Ying and Long Shin. In her opinion, this man already knew who she was and found her worthy of his respect. But when it came to Cha Ying and Long Shin, he gave them no regard.

Liu Minger wasn't pleased with how this person showed disrespect to Long Shin, but for now, she stayed quiet. After coldly nodding her head in acknowledgement, she held Long Shin's hand and led him inside the booth while Cha Ying followed behind.

A lively voice rang out from the seat as I stepped in: "I have been awaiting your arrival, it is said that Miss Liu is a well-renowned businesswoman and quite the beauty. Having seen you with my own eyes, I must say that the rumors don't do justice to your looks." the speaker was wearing a white shirt with his short hair neatly combed.

He had a tanned face with handsome features, giving off an aura of charisma not easily acquired from an ordinary family. Although his gaze was filled with the slyness of a snake that could stab at any given moment.

The young man touched his chest with his hand and said politely "Welcome, my name is Ye Hao of the Ye family." He smiled, but many who saw him thought it was more of a smirk than a smile.

Liu Minger nodded at him without displaying any emotion on her face. "I thank you for the hospitality," she said.

Ye Hao's smile broadened as he responded to her. "It is no trouble at all, Miss Liu. I'm honored that you decided to come here." Had someone else been in Liu Minger's place, they would've felt something stirring inside them when they saw the elegance of Ye Hao's courting gesture.

Unfortunately, Liu Minger remained unmoved, only responding with a few words. Inwardly she was thinking something different: 'He's ordinary at best when compared to my beloved but he still has the gall to court me?' If Ye Hao had heard her thoughts, his smile would have hardened instantly.

Ye Hao pulled out a chair for Liu Minger gracefully, "Please take a seat, Miss Liu," he said, gesturing towards the chair beside him.

Liu Minger looked hesitant, not wanting to sit so close to him.

But before Liu Minger could sit, Long Shin intervened and pulled a chair that was further away from Ye Hao but still close enough to work professionally.

"Don't stand for too long, Minger," Long Shin said as he smiled at her.

Liu Minger showed a slight smile for the first time and took the offered seat.

Long Shin quickly signaled Cha Yin to sit on Liu Minger's left side, which the latter did promptly, leaving Long Shin to sit on her right side.

Although Ye Hao tried to hide it, his embarrassment showed on his face when Liu Minger rejected his kind gesture so blatantly.

He maintained a polite expression, but inside he was seething with anger. At first, his gaze only rested on Liu Minger, and he didn't see Long Shin and Cha Ying. Eventually his eyes landed on Long Shin who gave him an indifferent stare.

He had to say this man was really devilishly handsome, so much that even he felt a little inferior inside, but this inferiority only served to make him hate Long Shin even more.

People weren't wrong when they said that beauty can make countries go to war. Long Shin and Ye Hao had never met before, but as soon as Ye Hao saw Liu Minger smile affectionately at Long Shin, he began to feel an intense hatred and envy.

Perhaps He Hao was gazing at Long Shin for far too long, causing the other to return his gaze with an icy stare. His blood-red eyes seemed to have no emotion when they looked upon him, sending a chill down Ye Hao's spine and giving him the sensation of being stared at by a wild animal in human skin.

Ye Hao was lucky that this feeling only occurred to him for a moment and disappeared almost as soon as it had come. Long Shin cast his vision back onto Liu Minger right away, as for Ye Hao, he was but an ant compared to him — someone he could crush without effort.

The reason why he looked at Ye Hao was because he noticed slight fluctuations of mana in his body, yet when taking a closer look, he realized that Ye Hao was only at the 2nd Layer Black-Iron rank magister.

The man standing at the doorway before had been far more powerful than Ye Hao, having reached the highest level of the Initial Black-Iron rank. To Long Shin he was insignificant, yet still an ant.

Ye Hao sighed with relief as the chilling feeling faded away.

Without warning, a man with jet-black hair and a beard joined Long Shin. He showed no sign of deference as he took the seat next to him and crossed his legs. "I don't need to ask about Miss Liu; who in the business world doesn't know her? But I do recognize Miss Cha. However, you are unfamiliar to me. Who are you?"

"My employer only stated that Miss Cha should be here for the signing of the contract. Since Miss Liu is an exception, my master did not send out an invitation for you."

Before Liu Minger and Long Shin had a chance to talk, Ye Hao spoke up. "Xiao hai, be respectful. Miss Liu is from an esteemed family. I'm sure they have a master-servant relationship." Long Shin was taken aback by the two's familiarity with one another, marveling at their harmony.

He thought to himself, 'Were these two born of the same mother?'. He found himself charmed by their little antics and decided he'd humor them for a while. He knew that this Ye Hao was none other than Old Man Ye Mo's grandchild and surmised that the old man wouldn't do anything if he played along with his grandson.

If Old Man Ye Mo knew what Long Shin was thinking, he would have thrown up blood.

Ye Hao was not only shrewd and talented among the younger generation; he was also his own grandson, and he was one of the direct heir to the family head position once his dad passed away.

It was safe to say that after Ye Mo's son, this guy would become eligible to compete for the family head position.

Little did Ye Hao or Xiao Hai realize that a mischievous smirk had made its way onto Long Shin's face.

"Incredible! Are you some kind of psychic? How did you know that Minger loves to call me 'Master' in bed?"
