Chapter 311 - 288: Do All Boys Like Blonde Girls?
Chapter 311: Chapter 288: Do All Boys Like Blonde Girls?
"Now that you’ve had your fill, how about we go for a walk to digest?" Ye Ling asked, a slight smile on his face as he looked at the two women.
"Okay." Ning Ruoxi and Luo Yue nodded at the same time.
Girls generally try to maintain their figures and eat less in the evenings. But today, they couldn’t resist eating more because the pufferfish was so delicious, and now they were starting to worry about gaining weight.
A walk to burn some of it off, perhaps?
Ye Ling settled the bill and led the two women on a leisurely stroll nearby.
Throughout the walk, Luo Yue watched Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi ahead of her, her eyes filled with resentment.
’Dammit.’
’Shoving their PDA in my face right after I finished eating?’
’This is outrageous!’
However, Ye Ling currently had his arm around Ning Ruoxi and paid our dear Luo Xiaoyue no mind. And even if he had noticed... so what?
He wasn’t the one being forced to watch all the PDA, after all!
Since they had eaten an early dinner, it was just a little past eight when they got home from their walk.
For the youth of today, this was when the nightlife began!
"You little brat, that’s my spot!"
Ye Ling grumbled, looking displeased.
Luo Yue was currently lying in bed, hugging Ning Ruoxi with a smug look on her face.
"Nyah, nyah, nyah! Master, Sister Ruoruo is mine tonight!" Luo Yue declared, like a triumphant little general.
Clearly, the little brat was holding a grudge.
’That’s what you get for shoving your PDA in my face during the walk!’
"What do you mean, she’s yours?" Ye Ling retorted irritably.
"All right, all right, don’t bicker with Yueyue. Why don’t you go sleep in your own room for one night?" Ning Ruoxi said, sticking out her tongue playfully.
’She wanted to laugh right then. Perhaps only a little imp like Luo Yue can handle a big scoundrel like Ye Ling?’
"Ruoruo..." Ye Ling’s face was a mask of pure grievance.
"Oh, all right. Can you put up with it for one night?" Seeing his expression, Ning Ruoxi almost couldn’t resist kicking Luo Yue right out of the bed.
"Fine."
Ye Ling pouted and shot Luo Yue a look brimming with resentment.
’I’m putting this in my little black book. I’ll find a way to get you back for this!’
When Luo Yue was on the receiving end of that look, she couldn’t help but shrink back, a bad feeling creeping over her.
Back in his own room, Ye Ling was instantly struck by a wave of cold loneliness.
’Hello?’
’What’s the cure for sleeping in an empty bed alone?’
Ye Ling pulled out his phone, opened the "3222 Demon Lord of Chaos" group chat which he hadn’t checked in a while, and prepared to ask his good buddies for advice.
’Ye Ling: Anyone on? What do you do when you’re lonely ’cause your girlfriend’s not around?’
’He Jian: I recommend the five maidens!’
’Yang Yu: I also recommend the five maidens!’
’Yang Yefeng: I recommend a double dose of the five maidens for double the pleasure!’
’Ye Ling: What are you guys talking about? I don’t get it.’
’He Jian: No way... seriously? Brother Ling, you’re still gonna play innocent even when you’re all by yourself?’
Brother Ling decided these three were toxic!
...
「The next day.」
Ye Ling drove the Maybach to Global Harbor by himself.
He had wanted to bring Ning Ruoxi with him, but that little pest Luo Yue was stuck to her side. Helpless, Ye Ling had no choice but to go alone.
Ye Ling reflected that he really fucking shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and given in to Ning Ruoxi.
A little after ten in the morning, Ye Ling arrived at the international auto show center near Global Harbor. The place was packed!
Global Harbor already had insane foot traffic on a normal day, so adding an international auto show to the mix naturally drew in massive crowds.
Ye Ling had already gotten tickets from Zhu Yun. With his current status, getting tickets to an international auto show like this was undoubtedly a piece of cake.
There were tons of brands at the international auto show, including all the familiar names like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi, as well as higher-end ones like Porsche and Maserati. There were even ultra-luxury cars for the mega-rich, like Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, and Lamborghini!
Ye Ling already had a target in mind before he came, but since he had time to kill, he started wandering around casually.
"Hey, handsome, are you here to buy a car too?" At that moment, a very sweet female voice suddenly came from behind Ye Ling.
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and turned around to see a tall, slender beauty with long, voluminous blonde hair that made her look incredibly alluring.
’So... do all guys like girls with blonde hair?’
Brother Ling would like to state for the record: not him!
"Are you talking to me?" Ye Ling asked.
"Yes, I am, handsome. What kind of car are you planning to buy?" the blonde girl said with a sweet smile.
’Is this that thing they call ’love at first sight’?’
"I was thinking of buying a BYD, but I don’t seem to see one," Ye Ling said.
"Pfft."
The blonde girl couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
’Buying a BYD at an international auto show? Is he for real?’
’Wait, no!’
’Who says you can’t buy a BYD at an international auto show?’
"What’s wrong?" Ye Ling asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You’re so funny, handsome," the blonde girl said with a laugh.
"I really am planning to buy a BYD. I’ve walked a whole lap and haven’t found their booth."
Ye Ling said with a completely serious face, "I think I came here for nothing. I was even thinking of asking the organizers if I could get a refund on my ticket."
The blonde girl stared at Ye Ling, lines of exasperation forming on her face.
’Dammit.’
’Is this guy crazy?’
’Does he take me for an idiot?’
"Fine, fine. You can buy whatever you want, handsome," the blonde girl said, deciding not to argue the point and sticking her tongue out playfully.
"Then why were you spouting all that nonsense earlier, wasting my time?" Ye Ling rolled his eyes irritably and made a move to turn and leave.
The blonde girl was completely dumbfounded. ’He’s... he’s just leaving?’
She was quite confident in her looks. If not one in ten thousand, she was at least one in a thousand!
According to her original plan, she would meet Ye Ling at the auto show and could even help him pick out a car...
But in the end, this Ye Ling guy refused to play by the script!
"Wait, handsome!" The blonde girl remembered her mission, and seeing Ye Ling about to leave, she couldn’t stop herself from reaching out and grabbing his sleeve.
"Who sent you?"
Ye Ling turned back, the playful smile instantly vanishing from his face, replaced by a stern expression.
"I... no one sent me!" The blonde girl was so startled by his look that she almost blurted out the truth, but she quickly tried to defend herself.
"Then it seems there’s nothing to talk about."
Ye Ling turned and walked away without another word.
Faced with this kind of beautiful woman throwing herself at him... a normal person might have been tempted, but Ye Ling genuinely had no interest.
Putting aside the fact that Ning Ruoxi’s beauty far surpassed this woman’s, with his own looks, wasn’t he hit on by beautiful women every day?
He had long since become immune to it!
Besides, this blonde girl’s acting was terrible. She was trying way too hard.
"Don’t go..." The blonde girl grabbed him again.
"What is it you really want?" Ye Ling couldn’t help but frown.
’Is there something wrong with this person?’
"You’re being so dense. I’m a one-in-a-thousand beauty, you know..." the blonde girl grumbled, pouting unhappily after being rebuffed several times in a row.
"Who do you think you’re pouting at, little sister?" Ye Ling said, rolling his eyes.
"Can we speak somewhere more private?"
The blonde girl asked, her playful expression gone.
"Not right now. I have to buy a car!"
Ye Ling shook his head and walked off again.
"Hmph!" The blonde girl stomped her foot and hurried after him.
This time, Ye Ling didn’t wander. He walked straight to the Rolls-Royce booth.
"Sir, are you looking to purchase a vehicle?" a salesperson asked, walking up to Ye Ling with great enthusiasm.
Ye Ling was dressed very ordinarily, but with the salesperson’s sharp eye, he could tell at a glance that Ye Ling was no ordinary person.
He had an aura that an ordinary person could never possess!
"Excuse me, do you have the new Cullinan model for this year?" Ye Ling asked.
That’s right!
The car he had his eye on was the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
The Cullinan is the second Rolls-Royce model to use the new all-aluminum "Architecture of Luxury." The first, which everyone should be familiar with, is the Rolls-Royce Phantom that appears in countless web novels!
The Cullinan might not be as famous as the Phantom, but the car is truly incredible. It’s named after the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found—the Cullinan Diamond!
It is the most technologically advanced and the only bespoke super-luxury SUV in the world!
"Weren’t you going to buy a BYD?" Just then, a familiar voice came from behind Ye Ling.
The blonde girl had actually followed him!
Ye Ling naturally recognized her, but he ignored her and kept his gaze fixed on the salesperson.
"We do have it in stock, but... it’s a pre-configured package. If you’re looking for the base model, we might not have any available at the moment..." the salesperson answered.
Ye Ling wasn’t surprised by this answer. It was nearly impossible to buy a base model these days; most cars came with various options and packages that further inflated the price.
It had already become a major unwritten rule of the industry!
"What are the specific options?"
Ye Ling continued to inquire.
"Hey, hey, hey! I’m talking to you!" the blonde girl said unhappily before the salesperson could speak again.
"What did you just ask me?"
Ye Ling turned his head and asked the blonde girl.
"I said..."
The blonde girl’s train of thought derailed for a moment, then she said with some irritation, "I asked, didn’t you just say you were going to buy a BYD?"
"A BYD? Are you dense? Why would a high-end luxury auto show have BYDs?" Ye Ling retorted.
"You... you’re the one who said it! You even said that since there were no BYDs, you were going to get a refund from the organizers!" the blonde girl said, stunned and then annoyed.
"Oh, I think I might have said that... but what does me buying a BYD have to do with me buying a Rolls-Royce?" Ye Ling said, raising an eyebrow.
There was no flaw in his logic.
Does I, Ye Ling, buying a BYD conflict with me buying a Rolls-Royce?
There’s no conflict at all, okay!
The salesperson standing to the side was struggling to hold back his laughter. In his heart, he couldn’t help but give Ye Ling a huge thumbs-up.
’You’re a legend, bro!’
