Chapter 38: The Short Legs Who Appeared Voluntarily

At this moment,

A small sedan stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

A woman in a white dress, with shoulder-length hair and black-framed glasses, got out of the car.

"Ma'am, welcome."

The doorman greeted her politely.

"Is your hotel hosting an event right now?"

The woman looked up, curious about the decorations outside the hotel, and asked.

"Yes, we are currently hosting the Dolphin Bubble Festival. Today is the first day of the event. If you check in today, you can redeem festival props."

The doorman enthusiastically replied.

"Bubble Festival?"

The woman pondered for a moment and then walked into the lobby.

"Hello, would you like to check in?"

The receptionist asked sweetly.

The woman nodded, "How long is this event running?"

"Seven days," the receptionist replied.

"Then I'll stay for seven days," the woman smiled.

"Alright~"

The receptionist took her ID and quickly entered the name "Liu Qinglü" into the computer system.

"Ms. Liu, your room is 505. Enjoy your stay."

Liu Qinglü nodded, took back her ID, but didn't go upstairs to her room. Instead, she started to observe the hotel lobby.

"Ring ring."

Liu Qinglü's phone rang.

"Ms. Liu, we've found the information on Langai Hotel."

"Although this hotel is inherited, the owner is an orphan with no siblings, so it's definitely not a family business."

"You can rest assured on that point."

Listening to the voice on the phone, Liu Qinglü nodded calmly.

"Got it."

"I'll give you an answer about the contract in a few days."

With that, Liu Qinglü hung up the phone.

Sunlight streamed through the large glass atrium, reflecting off her, creating a strong white glow.

Her naturally fair skin already gave off an unapproachable aura,

and standing in the sunlight, she shone so brightly that it was hard to look straight at her.

The previous failure with the assistant manager had left her with unforgettable memories.

This time,

she had to personally check the hotel's situation

before considering signing the contract!

...

Happy times always pass quickly.

Before they knew it, evening had arrived.

Parents took their children back to their rooms to bathe and change clothes, preparing to have dinner at the hotel.

Although some wanted to go out and try the local specialties of Nanjing City,

they decided to stay for dinner at the hotel to get a little dolphin for their kids.

...For the sake of their children, they endured!

In the outdoor dining area,

strings of colorful lights lit up, turning the ground into a kaleidoscope of colors,

and beautifully crafted pirate ships were set up on the ground,

making it seem like they were sailing through a sea of flowing light,

beautiful parrots flew low,

occasionally landing on people's shoulders, squawking:

"Treasure! I'm looking for treasure!"

Two "sailor" orange cats lazily lounged nearby,

stretching and yawning occasionally,

their eyes fixed on the flying parrots,

ready to swipe at them if they flew too low.

A giant white harp played theme-appropriate background music,

creating an atmosphere that was both relaxing and adventurous, filled with the scent of the ocean.

In front of the pirate ships,

various grilled meats, vegetables, seafood, desserts, and drinks were laid out,

"Wow!"

How much did all these pirate ships cost?

Ning Youyou marveled,

this hotel was amazing!

She looked closely at the pricing.

Although it was a buffet dinner, the pricing was very reasonable,

charged per ship!

Whether it was a pirate ship that could hold two, four, six, or eight people,

each ship was priced at 298 yuan.

This meant that large families didn't have to worry about the cost of dinner, saving a significant amount!

So considerate!!!

In an instant,

the mysterious owner of Langai Hotel became even more admirable in Ning Youyou's eyes.

However,

while having a pirate ship was delightful,

sharing one with others to save a bit of money was even more delightful!

With that thought,

Ning Youyou started scanning the crowd,

looking for someone to share a pirate ship with.

Suddenly,

Ning Youyou's eyes lit up!

She saw a pirate ship close to the food, with only two young men on it.

"Hey! This might work!"

Ning Youyou thought.

She was a tour guide, used to traveling and making friends all over the place. If it worked out, great; if not, no big deal.

But,

…going alone as a girl didn't seem right.

It would be better if she could find someone else to join her.

As Ning Youyou hesitated,

a glowing figure appeared in the courtyard.

The person looked around twenty-five or twenty-six,

holding a tray, seemingly also looking for a spot among the pirate ships.

Seeing this, Ning Youyou quickly ran over and enthusiastically said:

"Hi, I'm alone and looking for someone to share a pirate ship buffet dinner with."

"Are you alone too? Would you like to share a table?"

Liu Qinglü paused.

Ning Youyou was so direct that she didn't react for a moment.

But soon, Liu Qinglü nodded happily.

In a courtyard full of lively people, no one wanted to eat alone.

Seeing her agree, Ning Youyou smiled brightly.

"Great!"

"I just checked, there's a ship with two people. Should we join them?"

"If you don't like it, we can just share a table ourselves."

Ning Youyou pointed to a nearby pirate ship.

"Share with others?" Liu Qinglü frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse.

But when she saw the people on that ship,

Liu Qinglü's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sure. If they don't mind, we can share."

...

At that moment,

Chen Jianhai took a big gulp of cola, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

Comfortable!

Opposite him,

Xiao Lang, like a wild horse, had a plate full of food and was devouring it.

With the hotel hosting the festival and Xu Bo cooking, Chen Jianhai had to share the joy with his good friend Xiao Lang.

Seeing Xiao Lang with a chicken leg in one hand and a drink in the other, gulping it down,

Chen Jianhai quickly took out his phone!

"Wait! Hold that pose!"

"Don't move!"

Snap snap snap!

Three quick photos,

and he sent them to Xu Bo.

"Hehehe."

Thinking about how they were enjoying the meal while Xu Bo was working hard in the kitchen,

a sense of schadenfreude filled Chen Jianhai,

and he couldn't help but grin widely.

Just as he opened WeChat to listen to Xu Bo's angry messages from the kitchen,

a voice sounded above his head.

"Hi, can we share this table?"

Chen Jianhai couldn't hide his smile and looked up.

He saw two women, each holding a tray, standing in front of him,

the speaker looked familiar.

"You are…"

Chen Jianhai asked in confusion.

He had seen the woman before, but couldn't recall where.

"We're hotel guests and want to share a pirate ship with you. Is that okay?"

Ning Youyou asked confidently.

Chen Jianhai didn't answer,

the more he looked at Ning Youyou, the more familiar she seemed,

suddenly,

Chen Jianhai's gaze fell on Ning Youyou's legs.

Instantly, he bit down on his cola straw, crushing it.

Alright,

I was looking for you but couldn't find you, and now you've shown up!

Short legs!!!
