The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1811 - 1809: Striking Up a Conversation

Wouldn't it be a bit of a loss if she was so affected and insisted on being with Tang Rao no matter what?

"I've already said that the Northern Island is the most beautiful place I've seen apart from the Central Island. No, Zijing City is actually even prettier than the Central Island. I can't let these beautiful places slowly disappear. We need to find a way to restore all these disappearing landscapes. Or, we could follow Tang Rao's example, buy a street, decorate it in the Central Island style, and then sell our Central Island products. What do you think?"

Rao Linger genuinely brought up Tang Rao again, but this time not for love reasons, rather she wants to learn from Tang Rao and venture into business for profit.

It's true that spending more time with the one you like makes you start thinking alike, just like Rao Linger with Tang Rao.

"I think it's feasible. Feasible my foot, Big Head! Do you think doing business is that simple? It requires a whole lot of money, energy, and connections. Are you able to do all that?"

Of course, she couldn't.

Rao Linger needn't even think about it; Zhou Zhou broke her idea with a few words rooted in reality.

"Sister Zhou Zhou, even if I can't achieve it, I still want to give it a try!"

Rao Linger's eyes spelled 'naive', which translates to another layer of meaning: impossible.

Some ideas are just meant to remain thoughts, nothing more.

"Then my advice to you is to just keep it as a thought."

Huh?

Rao Linger could accompany Zhou Zhou on the Northern Island, so why can't Zhou Zhou accompany Rao Linger in doing some good deeds?

These are all good things; shouldn't she reconsider?

"Stop dreaming. I'm a person with principles. Besides, my family maintains a balance with the Purple Crystal things; they won't give me extra money for squandering, so I can't help you."

"No, I'm not asking you for your Purple Crystal. My father is quite generous, and my grandpa is even more generous. Let me tell you a secret: my grandpa's Purple Crystal Card is with me. This card represents his lifetime savings. My grandpa told me that I can use it whenever I want, regardless of the amount. Money isn't a concern for me; all I need is your support in doing this."

Oh my, what did Zhou Zhou just hear? She heard Rao Linger say her grandfather gave her his Purple Crystal Card??

In other families, a Purple Crystal Card wouldn't be considered precious, and the Purple Crystal inside wouldn't amount to much. Yet, the card in Rao Linger's possession was given by her family's old lord, a lifetime's savings nobody dared to imagine, not even Tang Rao.

Rao Linger, this hidden millionaire, never mentioned this to Zhou Zhou before. If it weren't for the Demon Beast tide destroying so much, Rao Linger might have continued to keep this secret, refusing to utter a word.

"Wow, keeping such a big secret from me, are you afraid I'd ask for it?"

It's not that Zhou Zhou is petty; what she said was merely a joke.

"Come on, the Purple Crystal Card is just gathering dust there. I only remembered it when I was so broke and desperate. Are you really going to get jealous over this little thing?"

Zhou Zhou glanced at Rao Linger, feeling somewhat relieved: "As if I don't know your nature? Relax, your Sister Zhou Zhou isn't as petty as you think. Let's go, find a decent place to settle down. I think after the Demon Beast tide, people will need time to repair their homes. Finding a livable place right now would be great. Later, don't be too picky just because the environment isn't like your home, hear me?"

Of course she heard, she's not deaf.

...

When Tang Rao followed the address provided by Geng Bucuo to East Island to find Chen Jingtian's daughter, she and her future husband were enjoying themselves in a small tavern, having a feast.

Chen Jingtian's daughter is named Chen Jingyi, his only child.

Tang Rao resembled a 21st-century paparazzo. To be blunt, his current behavior was akin to voyeurism.

Compared to the women in Tang Rao's harem, Chen Jingyi's appearance wasn't too outstanding. What was remarkable was her demeanor.

From the first glance at Chen Jingyi, two words came to Tang Rao's mind: Comfortable.

Though she wasn't particularly beautiful, the sight of her brought a comforting feeling, and Tang Rao thought that was enough.

At least she was far prettier than the women he imagined before meeting Chen Jingyi.

"Jing Yi, these are all your favorite dishes; why aren't you eating?"

The man's appearance was equally ordinary. Not to brag, but this man was nowhere near a fraction of Tang Rao's charisma. Tang Rao couldn't fathom what attracted Chen Jingyi to him.

"I'm not in the mood. You eat first, don't mind me."

Chen Jingyi didn't show any undue affection towards the man, regardless of their relationship, maintaining the same cool demeanor, her words reflecting a sense of detachment.

This girl sure was peculiar, not taking after Chen Jingtian much. Chen Jingtian was talkative and cunning, yet his daughter appeared way too Zen-like.

"Jing Yi, you're already so thin. If our father-in-law comes back and sees you like this, he'll definitely blame me. Why not eat a bit, just for my sake?"

The man was still coaxing her, but no matter how much he said, the response from Chen Jingyi was four words—unmoved.

Seriously, what kind of romance is this? Is Chen Jingtian blind or just unobservant?

If this counts as romance, then his relationships with his wives should be categorized as a passionate love.

No, passion is a bit subtle; it should be called a love burning with enthusiasm, one that fascinates with a single disagreement.

After witnessing Chen Jingyi and her fiancé's relationship style, Tang Rao increasingly felt he should be a heroic savior, taking a chance to rescue Chen Jingyi, this Zen-like girl trapped in a deep pool.

"Hey, mind if I join you?"

Tang Rao touched his nose and glanced around, indicating there were no seats available nearby, and he had no choice but to squeeze in with them.

Faced with a person with a simple request, how could the man, in front of Chen Jingyi, reject him mercilessly?

"Have a seat, order whatever you like, and I'll add it to my tab."

The man thought that since he was playing the good guy here, he wouldn't mind embracing the 'nice guy' role until the end.

"Really? Is there such a good deal? Do you have other intentions towards me?"

The man was just being polite, offering to treat Tang Rao to dinner, but Tang Rao's mind was racing with ideas.
