Chapter 499 - Hsu Chenyue's Birthda
Murong Tian let out a sigh.
“No worries. I've got a plan.”
Murong Guo offered a slight smile.
“Really?”
Murong Tian's spirits lifted immensely.
“Absolutely,” Murong Guo stated with confidence. “There's no need for me to deceive you. I recall that today is Hsu Chenyue's birthday. It's the perfect chance for us to make a move.”
Early in the morning, Su Ming awoke.
He stretched leisurely, feeling revitalized.
He called his parents to suggest lunch together, only to learn they were currently sunbathing at Shore Park's beach in Eastsea City.
Su Ming shook his head with a sigh.
After freshening up and grabbing a quick bite, he headed out to the fields.
He diligently weeded, aerated the soil, watered the plants, and applied some Blessing Potion.
Next, he tidied the yard and checked on the five Rock-and-roll Turtles in the aquatic product area, who appeared to be resting.
The alpaca maintained its usual cool demeanor. The Three-legged Golden Toad, however, had undergone significant growth, its body still shimmering in gold.
Su Ming adjusted the animals' free-roaming schedule and distributed some feed.
Before long, it was midday.
While Su Ming was occupied, his phone buzzed.
He saw that Hsu Chenyue was calling, which took him by surprise.
“Hey, what's up?” Su Ming answered.
On the other end, Hsu Chenyue's voice came through with a teasing tone, “I'm your blind date, remember? Do I need a reason to call? It's pretty standard for me to ring you up for a little chat.”
Su Ming chuckled. She sounded upbeat, likely having moved past last night's events.
“Of course, you can call anytime. I'm always open to a beautiful distraction,” Su Ming responded cheerfully.
Hsu Chenyue laughed, “Today's my birthday. I'm throwing a small party tonight, and besides you, I've only invited a few close girlfriends. Let's have some fun.”
“No problem at all,” Su Ming replied.
He was free anyway, as his parents were enjoying their couple's time.
“Great. Let's meet at Longhua KTV at four this afternoon!”
After she hung up, Su Ming allowed himself a small smile. He returned to his room for a refreshing shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes. Today was Hsu Chenyue's birthday, and he couldn't let it pass without giving her a thoughtful gift. But what to give her?
He made his way to the underground warehouse to survey his past acquisitions, stroking his chin thoughtfully. A diamond? That might be too ostentatious and scare her off. Red wine? It seemed somewhat inappropriate as a gift for a girl.
Just then, Yuvyuv's voice echoed in Su Ming's mind, “Master, I can assist you.”
”Really?” Su Ming was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't expected Yuvyuv to possess such a capability.
“Absolutely. Master, please pick up a diamond,” Yuvyuv instructed.
Su Ming nodded, walked over to the warehouse, and selected a diamond. No sooner had he lifted it than it vanished into thin air.
”Yuvyuv, I will help you craft a gift. It will take about an hour. Master, please wait patiently,” Yuvyuv said.
Su Ming nodded again, his relief palpable. Finding the perfect gift for a girl was one of life's most challenging tasks, but Yuvyuv's abilities promised to ease his burden considerably.
With Yuvyuv's assistance, Su Ming felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. He spent some time relaxing upstairs, watching TV, and grabbing a bite to eat.
Before long, Yuvyuv's voice resonated in his mind once more, “Master, the gift is ready.”
Following Yuvyuv's announcement, a small box materialized on the table. Su Ming reached out, took the box, and opened it to reveal a stunning jade necklace adorned with diamonds—both beautiful and luxurious. It was the kind of gift any woman would cherish. Pleased with the choice, Su Ming decided it would be perfect for Hsu Chenyue's birthday.
As the time approached, Su Ming drove to Hsu Chenyue's place and escorted her to Longhua KTV.
The ambiance at Longhua KTV was exceptional, ranking as one of the finest in Eastsea. While an ordinary KTV might charge only a couple of hundred yuan for a few hours, this establishment's average spend per person was at least a thousand yuan or more. And if one opted for drinks and snacks, the bill would climb even higher. However, the premium environment—with concert-quality sound systems and microphones, luxurious leather sofas worth tens of thousands of yuan, and imported fruits not found in regular markets—was well worth the expense.
Additionally, there was a dedicated kitchen here, serving up delectable cuisine. This place was truly a slice of heaven compared to your average KTV.
Eastsea was home to many affluent individuals and a substantial middle class. Though they didn't frequent this spot daily, they made it a point to visit at least once every six months. Upon arriving at the parking lot, Su Ming and Hsu Chenyue could already tell it was a popular destination.
The private rooms were located on the third floor, so Hsu Chenyue and Su Ming made their way up.
They traversed a lavishly decorated dark red hallway before opening the door to a private room.
Inside, three beautiful women were engaged in conversation.
Each of them was strikingly attractive. The room was comfortably warm, prompting them to dress lightly and show off their fair skin.
The air was filled with the sweet scent that's uniquely associated with young women.
Su Ming used his scanner for a quick peek and realized that none of the three had undergone cosmetic surgery.
Indeed, it seemed that beauties tended to flock together.
The women, initially absorbed in their chat, stood up and approached when they saw Hsu Chenyue enter with a man.
“I never thought you'd actually bring a boyfriend here.”
“Wasn't it you who claimed you'd never have a boyfriend in your lifetime, just last year?”
“You're quite handsome. Would you mind having one more girlfriend?”
Su Ming's mouth twitched at the comments from the three women. It appeared that the adage about girls being more open-minded than boys was true, and he was now witnessing it firsthand.
“Let's keep it professional, ladies.”
Hsu Chenyue, caught between amusement and exasperation, pushed the three incessantly chatty women back onto the couch. “Su Ming, pay them no mind. These three are my best friends and were my college classmates. We've kept in touch since graduation. They do have a penchant for gossip.”
The group of five settled in together.
Hsu Chenyue's family was well-off, so she didn't hesitate to order an abundance of food and drinks. Clearly, they were all set to enjoy a fun-filled all-nighter. Su Ming sensed that perhaps she needed to unwind after the events of the previous evening.
