Divine Lucky Star-Chapter 118 - : Thank you, Grandpa Xie!

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Thank you, Grandpa Xie!

“Yaning, what would you like to drink?” At this moment, Zhao Zhenhao was the epitome of elegance, his face adorned with the most charming smile, his eyes fixated on Bai Yaning as he tenderly said, “Coffee? Tea? Juice?”

“Just anything,” Bai Yaning responded with an obvious lack of enthusiasm, her voice faint, the kind that conveyed indifference to everything: “You decide.”

“Then let’s have tea,” Zhao Zhenhao said, getting up to brew the tea.

In fact, Bai Yaning was notoriously cold in nature, every distinguished young man she had previously encountered had been hopelessly rebuffed. Therefore, Zhao Zhenhao was not perturbed by Bai Yaning’s reaction; he was well aware that although Yaning seemed icy on the surface, once her frosty exterior was shattered, a warmer and more passionate heart than that of other women would await.

While Zhao Zhenhao was making tea, Bai Yaning, out of boredom, took out her phone and started to read a novel.

Blind dates were of no consequence to her. Even though her parents did not insist on her choosing a particular suitor, she knew that she would likely never escape this circle for her entire life.

...

Zhang San or Li Si made no difference to her; apart from their looks, everything about them was identical.

Almost the same background, nearly identical education, comparable careers, as well as a similar level of tedium.

Life within this circle was almost always a repeat of the previous day. If you stripped away the grand exteriors of these young scions, they were nearly all the same on the inside. Perhaps one or two might stand out, but Bai Yaning still found them unacceptable.

It wasn’t that she despised everyone in the circle, but rather she disliked such a fate.

It was like a mystery thriller series—if you already knew the outcome from the beginning, even the whole process, then what was the point of watching it?

“What are you reading?” A tender voice asked. Zhao Zhenhao, with white gloves on, placed the teapot and tea cups onto the table, then poured a cup of tea for Bai Yaning and asked with a smile, “Is it about a new Chanel product, or a piece of clothing you like?”

“A novel written by a friend,” Bai Yaning replied without even lifting her head, simply gazing at her phone screen: “A tale of an underdog’s struggle.”

“Oh? A friend?!” Zhao Zhenhao prided himself on keeping his composure in the face of the most serious situations, but hearing that Bai Yaning was reading a novel written by a friend still stunned him: “Yaning, you… you actually have friends now? Is it a man or a woman?”

A profound sense of crisis surged from the depths of Zhao Zhenhao’s heart.

Yaning was famously cold, and no one had heard of her having friends.

Even the daughters of well-placed families in the circle, who weren’t much inferior in terms of their backgrounds, had never managed to get close to her. Now she casually mentioned that she had friends?

“Why can’t I have friends?” Bai Yaning replied indifferently: “It’s a guy, just someone unremarkable.”

A male friend!

Naturally, Zhao Zhenhao wouldn’t believe Bai Yaning had gotten herself a boyfriend, but the fact that she had a male friend was shocking enough.

Even though Bai Yaning had mentioned he was someone unremarkable.

“A nobody? Could it be…” Zhao Zhenhao quickly caught on, he cautiously asked, “Is that… the guy in the car?”

“Mhm,” Bai Yaning nodded: “Someone quite interesting.”

Zhao Zhenhao took a deep breath, realizing he had to think on his feet, far from the lackluster herd of his peers; his eyes shifted as he started scheming, smiling he said, “I see, it’s said the situation was quite dire at the time, he must have made a significant effort, indeed, we should thank him for that. So, if Yaning doesn’t object, I would like to invite him for a meal sometime, okay?”

“You?” Hearing Zhao Zhenhao’s words, Bai Yaning finally lifted her head, speaking indifferently, “Under what identity are you inviting him to dine?”

“This…” Zhao Zhenhao knew this was a crucial moment; one wrong answer and this blind date could be a loss, so he hesitated before cautiously replying, “I thought I might express my gratitude on behalf of a friend of yours, to thank him for saving the most beautiful goddess of the Heavenly People’s Republic. Is this reason acceptable?”

Bai Yaning cast another indifferent glance at Zhao Zhenhao and then gave a slight nod: “Fine.”

After saying this, Bai Yaning added, “But you’re not my friend yet, please remember that.”

“I…” Zhao Zhenhao visibly faltered, then nodded forcefully, “Okay, I understand!”

“Good, that’s settled,” Bai Yaning said and slowly stood up: “It was nice meeting you, I have things to do. We’ll contact each other when there’s time.”

Seeing that Bai Yaning was ready to leave, Zhao Zhenhao quickly said, “Wait, Yaning, could you leave me a contact? For time, is… tomorrow evening at six o’clock okay?” Zhao Zhenhao smiled and said, “I’ll prepare well, the venue… let’s set it at Hualong Xuan.”

“Okay, take down my cell number,” Bai Yaning considered that not leaving any contact information would still be somewhat impolite.

The two exchanged phone numbers right then, and Bai Yaning left.

…

“Oh man, yesterday just sucked, I couldn’t even get a good sleep at home!” Wang Hao thought back to the horrors of the previous day while getting up in the morning, still a bit unnerved: “Terrifying, no water, no electricity, not even the internet, it was sheer misery lying in bed!”

During such unlucky times, the best course of action is to do nothing at all, and Wang Hao didn’t even read his novels, just dared to sleep!

“Come on, lucky die, you must be forceful today!” Wang Hao cautiously pulled out his luck die: “Here we go!”

The luck die tumbled several times on the table, and when it stopped, Wang Hao was immediately overjoyed!

“Good fortune! Hahaha!” Good luck once again, I’m unbeatable once more!

Time to check out the book!

Currently, “Break the Heavens” is shooting up the rankings like a rocket, truly living up to its status as the top divine book—it’s just awesome!

Now, it’s not only topping the new author signing charts, but it’s also surged up the membership click charts, and the recommendation tickets have reached over two thousand a day! Its momentum is challenging the veteran big shots on the Wind Cloud Chinese Network!

“Hahaha, looks like these results are undeniably fantastic!” Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction. All that was left was to continue updating regularly and wait to publish—no more worries about the novel. He was eagerly anticipating the release of “How Much Do You Know About the Flowers in Your Dreams?” What a thrill!

Isn’t it always said that good fortune is unbeatable? After finishing reading and getting dressed, his phone started ringing.

He picked it up—huh? A big star is looking for me? He quickly answered—

Bai Yaning: “What are you doing? Are you free?”

Wang Hao: “I’m free, just chilling at the film set, hehe. What’s up?”

Bai Yaning: “Are you busy tonight?”

Wang Hao: “Shouldn’t be, what’s up?”

Bai Yaning: “Yesterday, I went on a blind date, and that guy insisted on taking me to dinner. I refused, and afterward, he said he wanted to invite you to dinner.”

Wait a minute, this is confusing.

Why would a big star’s blind date want to dine with me?

I don’t even know the guy!

Wang Hao: “Um… he wanted to invite you, right? What’s it got to do with me?”

Bai Yaning: “You’re home, right? I’m coming over.”

Wang Hao: “…”

Hey, wait, why is she suddenly coming to see me?

Wang Hao: “Um, I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to go…”

Bai Yaning: “I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Wang Hao: “…”

Alright then, since she’s made up her mind, and after all, the barefoot are not afraid of the shoed, let’s do it!

Ten minutes later.

Cold Heart: “I’m here, where are you?”

That was fast?

Wang Ritian: “I’m at the entrance of the community, where are you?” He looked around, but didn’t see her usual car.

Cold Heart: “I see you, right across from you.”

Wang Ritian: “Across me is a silver Audi R8…”

Cold Heart: “It’s mine, come on over!”

Wang Hao: “…” This girl has changed cars again!

He hurried over, and sure enough, once the car window lowered, the disguised face of Bai Yaning appeared: “Get in.”

“Okay,” he agreed and opened the passenger door, sliding right in.

Wow, it smells really nice in here!

“Here,” as soon as Wang Hao got in the car, Bai Yaning handed him a bank card: “This is for you.”

“Are you trying to keep me?” Wang Hao confusedly took the bank card: “What’s this card for? How much is in it? If you’re keeping me, I won’t agree if the money is too little…”

“Stop talking nonsense,” Bai Yaning scolded with a smile: “The royalties from those songs of yours amount to four hundred thousand, after taxes.”

So it was that money…

Wang Hao quickly asked: “That’s not right, I said twenty thousand a song, it shouldn’t be this much, right? And that’s after tax?”

Bai Yaning replied indifferently: “The rest is a tip from this young lady, to round it up—aren’t you going to thank your benefactor for the grace?”

“Thank you for the reward, my lord!” Wang Hao immediately raised his hands above his head, bowing in worship: “Your servant pays respects to the Empress Dowager. I wonder where the Empress Dowager plans to take your servant today?” His tone was soft and playful, making Bai Yaning burst into giggles.

More charming than flowers, indeed a woman who laughs is the most beautiful!
