Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 91: "Pretty things must be tasty...

This person lurking in the shadows was none other than Leong Jinn, Wen Qinxi’s former prodigy. He had been summoned by his boss to discuss his progress but who would have thought he would chance upon a familiar face?

He was taller and lost all his baby fat but Leong Jinn could still recognise him. It was puzzling though that he would be here, at his father’s competitor’s Karaoke bar.

Leong Jinn sauntered back into the building when someone bumped into him causing him to stagger backwards.

"Get out of my way!" yelled a very familiar voice. It was the young miss he had been forced to serve for the past few years despite it not being a part of his job description.

Lee Ya’s big strides slowed before she stood in the middle of the pavement seeming lost. She checked left and right but didn’t see the person she was looking for.

She stomped her foot her ponytail swaying beautifully, her rosy lips pouting.

Leong Jinn couldn’t resist asking, "Looking for your boyfriend?"

Lee Ya turned her head sharply with a contemptuous look directed at him. Leong Jinn was used to the little princess’ temper hence this glare barely shook him. "They are gone," he continued to say sneering internally. He had heard from the service staff that the little miss had brought her school friends into the VIP private room and that she was pursuing someone. Apparently, she dragged one of them into the building her attitude and aura completely different.

She was nicer and sweet to him which was vastly different from the way she spoke to the employees whenever she came here.

Leong Jinn was just taking a guess but he didn’t expect her expression to change to that of disappointment. It turns out this soulless diva had feelings after all.

"Don’t talk nonsense. Don’t you have a job to do?" she said harshly before stomping back into the building. Leong Jinn arched his brow watching her throw a tantrum.

Meanwhile, Luo Muchen had managed to get Qie Xieling at the hotel and when the receptionist saw him she trembled her hand on the phone about to call the manager.

Their boss’ son who is also a boss by association was standing right in front of her and none of them had gathered around to greet him. Her face was drained of all colour nervously waiting for the harsh criticism.

Luo Muchen could see her hand shaking from where he was standing so he hurriedly said, "No need to be nervous. May you just book a room for me preferably one with twin beds."

"O-okay... I will get right on it sir," she stammered as her glance involuntarily swept past the teenager standing beside Luo Muchen.

The boy was looking around in a daze like he was fascinated by what he was seeing. She hastily looked down at her screen and tapped the keyboard a few times before taking out a key card.

When she raised her head to hand him the key card she found that the young master was pulling the young man back after he had walked forward fascinated by the koi pond.

She cleared her throat before handing the key card but she couldn’t hide the curiosity in her eyes. "Young sir, I booked the presidential suite for you," she said and Luo Muchen thanked her before wrapping his arms around Qie Xieling’s waist.

"This way," he said before taking the special elevator to the presidential suite.

Qie Xieling was so hammered at this point that he couldn’t stop pointing at the koi fish in the pond. "Wah... look at the fishes. So pretty," he mumbled before turning to Luo Muchen and continuing to say, "Can we eat them? I am hungry."

Luo Muchen: "..."

He pulled Qie Xieling along while responding, "Why would you want to eat it if you think it’s pretty?"

Qie Xieling laughed drunkenly while touching Luo Muchen’s face. "Pretty things must be tasty... you are pretty, you must be tasty too," said Qie Xieling while leaning in close to his cheek to take a bite.

Luo Muchen dodged in time but his heart melted into a puddle. The hard liquor that had delayed its effects was slowly creeping in boasting his courage so he replied, "You too. You look pretty enough to eat."

Qie Xieling laughed happily leaning his body forward and pressing Luo Muchen against the elevator wall by accident.

Luo Muchen laughed with him while stroking his hair affectionately. Qie Xieling pressed his forefinger on his lips while saying, "Shh shh, you are drunk. Don’t make noise," his speech slurred.

Luo Muchen let him do whatever he wanted. With his head lowered he whispered, "You are the one making noise. People are sleeping."

With a soft ding, the elevator door slid open and the two of them stumbled out right into the presidential suite.

Qie Xieling suddenly lay down on the floor saying, "Let me lie down for a second."

Luo Muchen stood there at a loss as to what to do. He stretched out his hand while saying, "Get up. The floor is not comfortable."

Qie Xieling stretched out his body like a baby after being wrapped in a swaddle for an entire night. "No, the carpet is so soft," he said while rolling over.

Luo Muchen shook his head before walking past him. He could feel that if he didn’t make honey water now he might not be able to do so very soon as the alcohol was starting to kick in. It seemed he wasn’t the type that got drunk immediately but the kind that would have delayed effects.

He grabbed the kettle on the counter and poured out some water from the water bottles. While it was boiling he heard Qie Xieling’s voice speaking to someone.

"He-hello, I want spicy no spicy crayfish... no no spicy hot. Yes yes hot and rice cakes," he said leaning against the pedestal while talking on the phone ordering room service.

Luo Muchen rushed over to grab the phone but Qie Xieling managed to dodge falling over on the bed.

"And watermelon, kiwi too... Uh, Muchen, get off me, and some spicy noodles too," he yelled while Luo Muchen tried to take the phone from him.

In the background, one could hear Luo Muchen’s voice saying, "Who is on top of you? You are the one kicking."

Luo Muchen finally took the phone away and cancelled the order.
