Chapter 561: A Word in Private
A group of four people walked out of the private room, and just as they reached the lobby intending to leave, Miaoqiu came up to them.
Red is a very charming and alluring color. A petite woman in red looks cute, and a tall woman in red exudes a powerful aura, instantly transforming into a goddess. If a plump woman wears red, it’s best to have two flowers sewn on the dress... then it would be quite festive.
Wearing a red gown with a trailing hem and paired with towering heels, Miaoqiu was not only full of presence, and indeed a goddess.
Even though this gown was quite conservative, she still exuded an alluring vibe, the kind that could trigger hormones with just one glance!
The gaze of nearly every man in the hall was glued to her.
Miaoqiu, in her towering heels, stood before Lin Tian, smiling knowingly, "As per your instructions, we charged him an extra twenty percent, totaling 1.34 million. He even had to call two friends to borrow the money. I guess he might cause you trouble in the future?"
A beautiful woman easily wins others’ goodwill.
A woman who is both beautiful and smart, and capable, is quite likable indeed.
Though Lin Tian wasn’t worried about Qiao Jiang’s revenge, Miaoqiu’s report was something else entirely. At least it greatly enhanced Lin Tian’s favorable impression of her.
"I see, this won’t cause you any trouble, will it?" Lin Tian asked.
"Rest assured, Celestial Dragon Hotel is not something just anyone can mess with."
Miaoqiu led the way, talking as she guided Lin Tian and the others out of the hotel.
Three beautiful women walking together attracted even more attention, especially considering Miaoqiu was a well-known figure at Celestial Dragon Hotel. She wasn’t just any ordinary manager; many admired her beauty, but no one had ever succeeded, and as for those who tried forcefully... few could face the consequences.
The red gown with a trailing hem highlighted Miaoqiu’s noble and alluring figure, even Lin Tian, who had seen many top beauties, couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.
She really is a vixen.
Lin Tian thought to himself. If it weren’t for such an excellent seductress, it’s unlikely the Celestial Dragon Hotel would be doing so well.
A red SUV pulled up, and Miaoqiu had the driver get off, then got into the driver’s seat herself, smiling radiantly, "Come on, everyone, let me drive you back."
"Miaoqiu, won’t this trouble you too much? We can just call a driving service," Yan Xinrou said.
"That’s right, but Miaoqiu is quite good at driving. You are all distinguished guests, I wouldn’t feel at ease having someone else drive." Miaoqiu maintained a seductive smile on her face, her graceful words sounding even more pleasant.
"Thank you, then." Liou Zhengming smiled and nodded, sitting in the back seat.
It was unheard of for Miaoqiu to personally send off guests before, although she seemed approachable, those who knew her understood her haughty nature; besides some polite exchanges, she’d never seen trying to build relationships with anyone actively.
If those who coveted her knew about this, they’d probably be green with envy.
Could all this be because of Lin Tian? But even if he’s a major shareholder, he wouldn’t normally get such treatment, would he?
Liou Zhengming turned his gaze toward Lin Tian, and his brows furrowed unconsciously. He found it increasingly difficult to see through this young man.
In the car, Miaoqiu naturally gave the front passenger seat to Yan Xinrou. She seemed to notice something unusual too, her playful eyes sized up Lin Tian, making him feel uneasy.
I haven’t done anything, why is everyone suspicious of me already?
Liou Qingcheng squeezed Lin Tian’s hand a bit more tightly all of a sudden, and she smiled so brilliantly, like the moon in the sky dimming significantly.
Compared to Miaoqiu, Liou Qingcheng was not inferior. Her bare-faced beauty was perfectly described as ’natural beauty without embellishment.’
After transforming into a woman, she gained an indescribable charm, captivating Lin Tian thoroughly.
"Get in the car. I’m a bit sleepy."
"Okay." Facing Liou Qingcheng’s gentle gaze, Lin Tian felt a wicked fire rising in his abdomen.
After their recent intimacy, Lin Tian yearned to return to Liou Qingcheng’s room promptly to engage in things not meant for outsiders.
The car drove through the night; with the navigation system, Miaoqiu didn’t have to ask much, following the route all the way.
Liou Qingcheng leaned against Lin Tian’s shoulder, at some point falling asleep, now lightly snoring. As she slept, a charming smile graced her lips, seemingly having a pleasant dream.
Yan Xinrou leaned back in her seat, turning her face and teasingly asked, "Miaoqiu, could it be you’ve got eyes for Lin Tian? Let me tell you, he’s my son-in-law, so don’t get any ideas."
"Ah?"
Miaoqiu was almost taken aback by such straightforward words, but quickly caught on and laughed coquettishly, "Don’t worry, Yan, I’m not interested in men younger than me. But you did mention introducing me to a tall, rich, and handsome man, which hasn’t happened yet."
"A tall, rich, and handsome guy is simple; I’m just afraid you wouldn’t fancy him. So many men wish to swoon at your skirts, but you’ve kept them all at a distance," Yan Xinrou joked.
"Men, they’re all the same, nothing special. What I want is a hero among men, one in a million, not just someone rich and good-looking. Does that sound childish? But that’s honestly my thought."
Miaoqiu said jokingly, but Yan Xinrou could hear the loneliness in her tone, as she sighed softly.
Lin Tian also felt something; this woman definitely had a story.
The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the Liou Family’s villa.
Just as Lin Tian was about to carry the sleeping Liou Qingcheng out, she woke up, still holding onto Lin Tian’s neck, her eyes lively as if speaking.
"Alright, get out quickly and stop being so lovey-dovey," Liou said with faint jealousy, seeing his daughter so intimate with another man.
After speaking, Liou turned his attention to Miaoqiu and asked, "I heard from Xinrou that Miss Miao’s tea skills are excellent. I wonder if we could have the pleasure of tasting your brewed tea today?"
Miaoqiu smiled and bowed slightly, apologetically saying, "Mr. Liou and Yan have praised me too highly. My tea skills are at best moderately good, unable to compare with a tea master like Mr. Liou. Besides, I’m here on business, so I can’t help with tea brewing this time. Next time you visit Celestial Dragon Hotel, I’ll be sure to personally entertain you."
Her skillful yet polite refusal left Liou with no room for argument; and since his invitation was purely courteous, he let it go as she declined.
"Miaoqiu, do you have some business?" Yan Xinrou asked.
"Yes, and I need Mr. Lin’s help," Miaoqiu’s gaze lingered on Lin Tian, "Mr. Lin, could we have a word in private?"
