Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes flickered with understanding. He reached out his hand, touching Ye Leng’an’s head, and smiled as he spoke, “If there’s no way to break through successfully, then let’s temporarily hold back! Cultivation is something that can’t be rushed.”
“I understand,” Ye Leng’an nodded. “That’s why I didn’t continue my cultivation today. Instead, I went shopping to release some pent-up frustration.”
Huangfu Ruiling chuckled softly before continuing, “We still have a few days left on our vacation. Why don’t we go on a trip together and relax? You mentioned before that you wanted to go out for a bit. This is a perfect opportunity to change our mood.”
“Sure!” Ye Leng’an agreed without hesitation. Then she asked, “What about your schedule? Are you done with everything?”
“I’ve arranged everything smoothly.” Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows. “Even if I’m not around, everything will proceed as planned. If there are any emergencies, Li San will inform me.”
“Is Li San not coming this time?” Ye Leng’an felt a bit surprised.
Previously, Li San would always accompany them and help with the arrangements.
Huangfu Ruiling reached out, embracing Ye Leng’an’s shoulder, and softly said, “This time, it’s just the two of us.”
“That sounds good.” Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement. “It’s also a chance for us to spend some quality time together.”
With their plans settled, Huangfu Ruiling promptly arranged for plane tickets.
While a private jet would have been more convenient, the sudden nature of their trip made some procedures cumbersome. Booking regular plane tickets seemed simpler.
Soon, they were seated in the first-class cabin of the plane.
Despite traveling low-key, they didn’t venture far, choosing instead to visit an antique town in the south.
Even though it was just the two of them, Huangfu Ruiling took care of all the arrangements. Upon landing, a car awaited them at the airport, transporting them directly to a homestay.
“Why did you choose a homestay?” Ye Leng’an glanced around at the quaint atmosphere of the place, raising her eyebrows in curiosity. “I thought, given your personality, you’d opt for a five-star hotel!”
“This place was recommended by the general manager of the local Huangye Group branch.” Huangfu Ruiling draped his arm over Ye Leng’an’s shoulder as they walked. “I thought you’d appreciate this choice.”
“I really do.” Ye Leng’an nodded, admiring the scenery as they entered. “It’s beautiful here!”
The establishment had the structure of a traditional courtyard house, surrounded by houses with a spacious garden in the center, featuring various flowers, ponds, rockeries, and courtyards reminiscent of ancient times.
“Using such a place as a homestay is quite clever,” Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but remark. “Do you think the owner can turn a profit?”
“Don’t worry about the owner.” Huangfu Ruiling chuckled. “Since he’s opened this homestay, he’s bound to make money.”
The person guiding them quickly chimed in, “Madam, you may not know this. This homestay is different from the usual ones. It’s famous in the area and almost a landmark in this town. People come here all year round. However, the rates here are not cheap, more than double that of regular five-star hotels. Additionally, there’s a pond where guests can fish, but it’s for an extra fee. So, Madam, despite being a homestay, it’s quite lucrative.”
This person was the manager of the public relations department at the local Huangye Group branch. The general manager had intended to come personally but had to handle an important business matter.
“Ah, I see.” Ye Leng’an smiled and nodded, then turned to Huangfu Ruiling. “If we’re free tomorrow, let’s go fishing!”
“As long as you’re up for it.” Huangfu Ruiling’s face lit up with a fond smile. “Tomorrow morning, we’ll explore the town and come back in the afternoon for fishing.”
“Sounds great!” Ye Leng’an nodded eagerly.
After seeing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an off to their rooms, the manager left.
Being engaged, they naturally shared a room this time, although they still slept in separate beds.
“Why don’t you freshen up first?” Huangfu Ruiling tousled Ye Leng’an’s hair, speaking gently. “There’s an event in town tonight. I’ll take you there.”
“An event?” Ye Leng’an perked up with interest. “I’ll go get ready and change. Then we’ll head out. You should get ready too!”
They had booked the most luxurious suite in the homestay, so there were multiple bathrooms available.
Soon, both of them were washed up and changed into casual attire before heading out.
However, when they reached the reception desk in the lobby, they found a commotion with several people arguing, attracting a crowd.
“Do you guys not understand human language?” A stylishly dressed girl stood before the counter, exuding arrogance as she addressed the seated staff. “I’ve told you, I want the most luxurious suite here. Why are you giving me the runaround?”
“Miss, we’re not refusing you.”
Despite the rude attitude, the staff member maintained a smile. “It’s just that our most luxurious suite has already been occupied. We have no other choice. However, we have other luxurious suites available, equally comfortable.”
“I’ve already said it. We only want the most luxurious suite.” The girl remained unyielding. “Do you know who’s staying there tonight? It’s the young lady from the Murong family. Is your small homestay daring to go against the Murong family?”
