Chapter 866: Chapter 866
The heavy rain pounded down, hitting the road, treetops, and rooftops, shattering into thousands of fragments, and soon, the entire city of Guangzhou was enveloped in a curtain of rain.
The neon sign engraved with ’love hotel’ was blurred in the misty rain, like the lonely light atop a coastal lighthouse.
Lin Baici sat on the bed, listening to the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom and frowning deeply.
He glanced outside the window.
The rain struck the glass, cascading down like a waterfall, and also shattered Lin Baici’s mood into pieces.
What should he do now?
Lin Baici turned his gaze toward the door.
[The top predator doesn’t run from challenges!]
[Tear her apart! Devour her!]
The bathroom door opened, and Han Suying walked out, her hair wet and hanging down her back.
She was wrapped in a bath towel that barely reached her thighs, revealing her long, fair, and voluptuous legs.
Han Suying walked barefoot towards Lin Baici without wearing slippers.
The carpet was left with a trail of wet footprints.
"I’m going to take a shower!"
Lin Baici stood up, thinking to stall for as long as possible.
Han Suying did not step aside but embraced Lin Baici.
As she let go, the towel slipped off her body.
[To get enough tickets to leave the Busan Divine Ruins alive, you have no choice!]
Commented by Eater God.
"Do I really mean so little to you?"
Lin Baici did not speak. He took a deep breath, swept her up in a princess carry, and tossed the Lady Boss onto the bed.
Soon, the bed seemed like a ship sailing through a storm, bouncing up and down.
Lin Baici became the captain, cutting through brambles and thorns, advancing through the tumultuous spray! The rightful source is novel·fıre·net
The next morning, the rain still fell, showing no signs of weakening, as if someone had stabbed the Dragon King, making it cry without cease.
Lin Baici entered, holding two hearty breakfasts.
The Lady Boss was awake, hugging her knees, sitting on the bed, and staring blankly out at the rain curtain.
On hearing the door, she turned her head.
"Come have breakfast!"
Hearing Lin Baici’s gentle words, Han Suying’s eyes reddened, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have pressured you!"
"No, you’re being too sensitive!"
Lin Baici comforted, "I enjoyed last night!"
Han Suying looked dejected.
Lin Baici got breakfast for the Lady Boss, but just then, both their phones rang.
"Please arrive at Empress Western Restaurant with your girlfriend by 7 PM tonight!"
The voice on the phone was a strange mechanical sound.
"Can we not go? Will there be penalties for not going? Who else received the invitation?"
Lin Baici asked three questions in quick succession, but the other party did not respond, repeated the sentence three times, and then ended the call.
Lin Baici looked at the Lady Boss, "Whose call was that?"
"It seems like the manager of Empress Western Restaurant? They asked for my name, saying a Mr. Lin Baici had reserved a spot for me and prepared a gift, and they were confirming if I was available for the dinner?"
The Lady Boss looked at Lin Baici in surprise and a bit of delight. Had Lin Baici grown to like her over one night?
"They said there are many reservations for tonight. If I’m not going, I must notify them in advance!"
Han Suying was flustered, unsure of what to do.
Lin Baici wanted to deny it, but remembering the lives of Xia Hongyao and the others were in his hands, he had to bite the bullet, "I reserved the spot, Sister Suying, please grace us with your presence tonight?"
Han Suying took the breakfast, quietly finished it, then dressed, "I’ll head back now, pick me up tonight!"
The Lady Boss wanted to get dolled up.
"Oh, and you don’t have to work today, go home and rest well!"
Han Suying left, but just a few minutes later, she returned. Opening her wallet, she took out all the bills and laid them on the bed.
"This is your salary for this period!"
The Lady Boss said, then, worried Lin Baici would refuse the money, quickly departed.
She just made up any excuse to give Lin Baici the money. Empress Western Restaurant, Han Suying knew, a Michelin restaurant with a great environment and fabulous cuisine. She was worried about Lin Baici being embarrassed if he couldn’t afford the bill.
Lin Baici looked at the thick stack of bills on the bed, which amounted to at least ten thousand yuan, and was caught between laughter and tears.
"Now I’m truly living off a woman!"
If Han Suying really was the final boss of the Gwangju stage, having to kill her to pass the level would be terribly torturous.
Lin Baici returned to the hotel where everyone immediately crowded around him.
"Brother Lin, how did it go? Did you handle the Lady Boss?"
Lin Baici hadn’t come back last night, filling Li Yintong with gossip.
"Little Linzi, should I order you some Goryeo ginseng chicken soup for delivery, and some grilled kidneys to replenish you?"
Xia Hongyao was concerned, but seeing Lin Baici’s complexion, she figured it was probably fine.
"Don’t speculate wildly, nothing happened!"
Lin Baici, feeling awkward, quickly glossed over it and changed the subject, "Did you guys get the call too?"
Hua Yue Yu was unhappy, "They told me I have to make a native of Gwangju fall in love with me soon, or I’ll be stuck in this city forever, gradually losing my consciousness and being contaminated into an NPC!"
"We all received it!"
Qingqiu cautioned, "I was planning to accompany you to Empress Western Restaurant tonight, but it looks like we, the God Hunters who aren’t in relationships, probably can’t get in!"
