Chapter 1006: UNEXPECTED ANNOYING MEETING
SHEN JI YUN's whole body froze. It felt like his breath even stagnated. He slowly glanced at Luo Yan. The other only smiled sweetly. Looking at that smile, he just knew that the other was teasing him.
"Please, don't tease me too much or I might just take what you said seriously," he said in a helpless tone.
"Who said I'm teasing?"
After dropping that bomb in a very sassy manner, the other opened the door on his side and got out of the car.
Shen Ji Yun froze once again. He let out the breath he was holding and leaned back, taking deep breaths to calm down.
That foxy rabbit. He would definitely give Shen Ji Yun a heart attack one of these days.
It took him a couple of minutes to calm down. He had to make sure that he wouldn't have another unexpected nosebleed. When he finally got out of the car, Luo Yan looked at him with an amused gaze.
"What took you so long, Brother Ji Yun?"
Shen Ji Yun stretched out his hand and pinched Luo Yan's soft cheek. "Whose fault do you think that is?"
Luo Yan only showed an innocent expression. "Hmm... I wonder."
Shen Ji Yun could only shake his head and chuckled helplessly. He looked around at the place that they stopped. Just like he said earlier to Luo Yan, it was a restaurant. He was worried that it might just be a random restaurant, but he was relieved when he saw the name hanging on the building.
[Da Dong Roast Duck].
It was an upscale restaurant known for their Peking duck and was focused on temporary Chinese cuisine. But another worry came to mind. What if there was no available seat or private room? This restaurant was already a well-known place. Since today was still a part of the biggest holiday of the year, the restaurant would definitely be full.
Anyway, they should probably check first. It's not too late to go to another restaurant if the place was indeed already full.
The two walked towards the building. As soon as they walked inside, a Maitre d' was there to greet them.
"Welcome to Da Dong Roast Duck. Do you have any reservations?"
"No, we don't. Is there an available private room?" Shen Ji Yun said.
The Maitre d' looked at the tablet he was holding, as if browsing something. Most likely looking if there was an available private room.
"Oh, you're in luck. There's still one available private room. Please—"
"We'll have that room," said by a rather arrogant voice by the side.
Both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun turned in the direction of the voice. Even the Maitre d' had glanced over.𝒏𝑜𝑽𝗲𝓛𝗎𝑠𝕓.𝗰𝗈𝑚
The one who spoke was a guy with an ordinary impression. But the arrogance he's exuding was like that of someone who not only had the money but also the looks. Luo Yan seriously wanted to punch him. The man just had that kind of punchable face.
A woman was standing beside the guy, hugging his arm like some kind of accessory. And maybe she was. The only thing annoying here was instead of looking at the mad beside him, she was looking at Luo Yan's man. His man!
Shen Ji Yun, on the other hand, immediately frowned when he saw the guy. Because the other was no stranger to him. What was his name again? Although he couldn't really remember, he knew that he was a second cousin. Or was it a third cousin? The point was, the other was an annoying guy who always picked a fight with him.
And sure enough, when the other recognized Shen Ji Yun, he narrowed his eyes and almost shouted, "What are you doing here?"
"Brother Tao, do you know him?" the woman asked in a rather excited voice.
Luo Yan frowned. He was curious at first on how the man knew Shen Ji Yun, but after hearing the woman, who obviously didn't hide her interest towards his man, his annoyance was ignited once again.
Maybe the guy also noticed that, because his expression turned ugly. "Don't mind him, Lingling. He's just some half-breed in our family."
Now the annoyance Luo Yan felt had completely turned to anger the moment he heard the word 'half-breed'. From his statement, it's not hard to guess that he was from the Shen family. The fact that the other was treating Shen Ji Yun like this could only be because of two reasons.
One, he's from the main family and he felt superior towards Shen Ji Yun. Or two, this was just how Shen Ji Yun was being treated by the people from that family. A half-breed. Either way, it's something that could make Luo Yan's blood boil over.
Shen Ji Yun ignored the guy, which he now remembered was named Shen Tao. Confronting the other would just lead to headache and waste of time. So, he turned to Maitre d' and was about to tell the other to lead them to the private room. But before he could do that, Luo Yan suddenly stepped forward in front of Shen Tao.
"Excuse me, by half-breed, do you mean him being mixed-race?" he asked.
The man looked at Luo Yan, as if only seeing him then. He looked surprised at first, probably because of Luo Yan's good looks. But he quickly got over that and said with annoyance, "Yeah, and what about it?"
"You're speaking as if there's something wrong with being mixed-race. Why is that?" Luo Yan asked innocently.
"That, that—"
When the other couldn't answer, he continued;
"There's nothing wrong with being mixed-race. Clearly, your date also has the same opinion as me. Just look at her eyes shine with admiration as she stared at Brother Ji Yun. She couldn't even turn her eyes off of him." Then he acted as if he came to an epiphany. "Ah, I know! You're just jealous, aren't you? Well, with that face, I will be too. Especially if compared to my Brother Ji Yun's super handsome face."
