Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Chapter 44: 44 Can you say that again?

"What'll you have?"

Ye Ling asked with a smile, looking at Shen Yuexin, "A soft drink?"

"Beer," Shen Yuexin replied.

"Oh?"

Ye Ling's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Right, as the president of Huamei Group, how could you not have at least that much of a drinking capacity?"

While speaking, he opened a bottle of beer with a pop and placed it in front of Shen Yuexin.

Shen Yuexin was stunned, "Just drink it like this?"

"How else should you drink? Drinking should be refreshing, what's the point of using a glass?"

Ye Ling said as he opened another bottle for himself.

"Come on, here's to our first meeting, bottoms up!"

As the words fell, Ye Ling didn't wait for Shen Yuexin. Gulp, gulp, a whole bottle of beer went straight down.

"Ah... That's damn refreshing!"

Shen Yuexin watched, dumbfounded.

She could hold her liquor, true, but drinking like this, she'd definitely get drunk!

But since Ye Ling had already toasted, she had to drink a bit too, right?

Shen Yuexin picked up the beer, opened her tender pink lips, and gulp, gulp, it looked like she was also going to finish it off.

However, Shen Yuexin really wasn't suited to drink like this. Halfway through, she might have choked, as she suddenly started coughing violently.

The mouthful of beer she hadn't swallowed yet sprayed all over Ye Ling's face.

"I'm... I'm sorry, cough cough!"

Shen Yuexin's cheeks were a bit red, whether from choking or the awkwardness.

Ye Ling had an exasperated look on his face. He took out a cigarette and tossed it to Shen Yuexin, saying, "Come on, have a smoke to calm your nerves."

Shen Yuexin: "..."

She genuinely didn't understand. Was this guy even a man? Didn't he know anything about cherishing and protecting women?

Around Shen Yuexin, there were countless men who'd do anything for her.

To put it crudely, if Shen Yuexin wanted, there'd be people willing to drink her foot-washing water after she finished with it.

But this jerk in front of her, seeing her choke, not only didn't comfort her but even handed her a cigarette?

Shen Yuexin seriously had the urge to take off her high heel and whack Ye Ling to death with it!

"Yo, what do we have here, such a beautiful young lady, your girlfriend, I suppose?"

Just then, the restaurant owner came over with a dish.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuexin, who had just taken a sip of hot water, sprayed Ye Ling's face again.

Ye Ling was completely helpless: "Come on, sis, does my face look good or did I just not wash it this morning? Is it necessary to insult me like this?"

The restaurant owner hastily ran off.

Shen Yuexin then thought of something and burst into laughter.

Once she started laughing, she couldn't stop, especially upon seeing Ye Ling's wet face from the mix of beer and water. Her delicate body shook, and her "Saintess peaks" trembled.

Ye Ling rolled his eyes and pulled out a tissue to wipe his face.

"What are you laughing at, enjoying spraying me in the face, huh?"

"It's your fault for forcing me to drink," Shen Yuexin managed to say, trying to hold it in, but burst into laughter again.

Naturally beautiful, her laugh was mesmerizing, drawing the attention of scattered customers around them to a standstill.

"Alright, if you keep laughing, these guys' eyeballs are going to fall out," said Ye Ling.

Shen Yuexin also noticed the surrounding gazes, making her uncomfortable. She immediately hardened her expression, reverting to her cool demeanor.

"Try this, the taste is really authentic," Ye Ling said, picking up a pair of chopsticks and starting to eat heartily.

Shen Yuexin watched Ye Ling, a blush creeping onto her pretty face.

In that dish... there was the water she had just sprayed out.

But seeing how deliciously Ye Ling was eating, Shen Yuexin, who hadn't eaten lunch, found herself tempted.

She had initially planned to ask the owner to replace the dish, but fearing Ye Ling might take it the wrong way, she reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and tentatively took a tiny bit.

"Hmm, really not bad."

After eating, Shen Yuexin immediately showed admiration.

The taste was so much better than anything she'd ever had at those fancy restaurants.

In fact, those big hotels sold appearances, such as luxurious decorations, attentive service, and so on.

When it came to the actual taste, there were very few conscientious eateries.

"Boss, give me a steamed bun!"

"Girl, the steamed buns haven't arrived yet."

"Then give me a bowl of rice."

"Alright!"

Ye Ling watched Shen Yuexin with his mouth agape. How could such a beautiful woman be such a glutton?

Eating just the dishes wasn't enough, huh? You still want your sister's steamed buns and rice!

After the rice was served, Shen Yuexin didn't care whether it was clean or not and quickly finished a bowl.

"Boss, your bowl is too small. Bring me a bigger one!"

"Yo, beauty, for such a slim figure, you sure can eat!"

Just as Shen Yuexin finished speaking, a group of young guys with buzz cuts suddenly walked into the food stall, heading straight for her.

One of them even whistled at her.

Overt harassment!

Shen Yuexin turned her head to glance at them, her brow furrowing slightly, but she ignored them.

However, her appetite that had just risen completely disappeared.

"Beauty, you can eat so well. Why not join us guys? We'll cover the bill today, how about that?"

Those young men were astounded by Shen Yuexin's beauty, exchanging looks with each other before surrounding Shen Yuexin and Ye Ling.

"Kid, scram to the side, can't you see we want to sit here?"

One of them approached Ye Ling, tapped on the table, and showed a fierce expression.

Ye Ling pointed to Shen Yuexin and said to the young guy, "Do you think she looks how old?"

Shen Yuexin was startled, and so was the young man as he subconsciously said, "27 or 28 years old, maybe."

"How old are you?" Ye Ling asked again.

"I'm 23 this year, what about it?"

The young guy said arrogantly, tilting his head back.

"Then why the hell are you calling her 'brother' in front of her?!"

As he spoke, Ye Ling suddenly stood up, grabbed the young guy's head, and with a bang, slammed it into the wooden table.

The young guy's head started bleeding from the impact, and he screamed in agony.

Shen Yuexin jumped with fright, completely not expecting Ye Ling to be so violent and to strike without warning.

"Motherfucker, are you looking to die?"

The other young men saw Ye Ling's reaction and immediately encircled him.

Ye Ling picked up the unfinished beer bottle in front of Shen Yuexin and smashed it over one of the young guy's heads with a thud.

And then, without any hesitation, he grabbed a stool from behind and lifted it fiercely!

This well-aimed action brushed right past the faces of the remaining two young men.

"Ahh!"

Screams erupted, and in the blink of an eye, the group of young men was completely knocked to the ground.

Ye Ling tossed the stool aside, picked up his own beer bottle, walked over to the young man who had spoken earlier, and planted his foot on his face.

"I fucking hate being disturbed while eating. You said I was looking for death just now, right?"

The young man, to his credit, shouted back, "If you've got the guts, don't leave. I'm going to kill you today!"

"Bang!"

Just as he finished speaking, Ye Ling's beer bottle crashed onto his head.

The bottle shattered immediately, and the young guy screamed out in pain.

"Say that again to me?"
