Lin Zhiqing only returned to the private room after Lin City had left.

Chen Erbao was lounging in his chair, letting his food settle. When he saw Lin Zhiqing come back looking so troubled, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Why the long face? Did your second uncle pressure you to get married?"

Lin Zhiqing sneered.

"I just graduated from college. There's no way he'd be pressuring me to get married... My second uncle said that if anyone dares to bully me, he'll stand up for me!"

Her gaze fell upon Chen Erbao.

Hearing this, Chen Erbao rubbed his nose.

"You're not talking about me, are you? But from what I recall, you seemed to be enjoying it too..."

"Don't you dare..."

Hearing Chen Erbao about to bring up those incidents again, Lin Zhiqing rushed over and covered his mouth.

A familiar fragrance washed over him. Chen Erbao grabbed the small hand covering his mouth and gave it a gentle lick.

Lin Zhiqing froze as if struck by lightning, staring at him in disbelief.

"You're a pervert!"

She tried to snatch her hand back, but Chen Erbao held her wrist firmly. Her failed attempt to pull away only sent her stumbling into his embrace.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Erbao let one of his hands wander up to her full breast.

Before he could even work his magic, Lin Zhiqing was already panting, her eyes hazy with desire and her face flushed crimson.

"Not here..."

Chen Erbao was overjoyed to hear that, and he hugged her slender waist tightly.

"So, somewhere else is okay?"

Lin Zhiqing fell silent, lowering her head shyly.

'She didn't know what was wrong with her. Whenever she was around Chen Erbao, her willpower just seemed to evaporate.'

'Chen Erbao knew he couldn't rush things if he wanted to score, so he decided to stick with a gentler approach.'

He lowered his head slightly and kissed her soft lips.

They were as soft as ever, and her taste was sweet.

Lin Zhiqing's passion was stirred as well. She sat sideways on Chen Erbao's lap, wrapping her fair, smooth arms around his neck. She obediently tilted her head up, letting his large hands roam over her body.

When she felt his hand travel down her body again, she finally regained a sliver of her senses. Her face was rosy as she spoke, her voice losing its usual coolness and becoming soft and sweet.

"Let's go somewhere else..."

Chen Erbao laughed to himself. He pulled her to her feet, and they headed out.

'He found it strange, too. Why does every encounter with Lin Zhiqing seem to happen in a private room? Is she some kind of legendary Private Room Queen?'

Outside the restaurant, the midsummer night's breeze brought a touch of coolness, calming them both down a little.

"It's too late to get back to Bailong Village tonight, so I'll stay here... By the way, Medicine King Hall will reimburse my hotel fee, right?" Chen Erbao suddenly asked.

Now that they were outside, Lin Zhiqing had become prim and proper again. She let out a soft laugh.

"You're about to be a multi-millionaire, and you're still worried about a small hotel fee?"

"Ride a bike to the bar—save where you should, spend where you must. It's called being a savvy spender. What would you know!" Chen Erbao retorted.

'He remembered back in college, when he and his dorm mates would grab shared bikes every weekend and ride them to the foot massage parlor.'

'What's that called? That's called spending your money where it really counts!'

Lin Zhiqing was left speechless by his absurd logic and rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, the company has already booked a room. I'll take you there in a bit. It's not a presidential suite, but it's close."

"Gotta love big companies, they're so loaded!" Chen Erbao exclaimed in admiration. He'd never stayed in such a high-end hotel before.

"So, where are we going now?" Lin Zhiqing asked.

Chen Erbao checked his phone and saw it was already past eight. He decided to test the waters.

"Why don't you take me back to the hotel now? Early to bed, early to rise."

"Mm... okay."

Lin Zhiqing's face flushed again. 'She had a feeling that if she went, she might not be coming back tonight.'

But she just couldn't refuse Chen Erbao's request.

His every move was already etched into her mind.

The two of them drove slowly along the river and soon arrived at the hotel.

"Whoa, this hotel has a lounge... a swimming pool... a gym... It's got everything!" Chen Erbao exclaimed in admiration as they entered.

"This is the best hotel in Hongyuan City. It's normal for it to have all this."

Lin Zhiqing got the room key and led Chen Erbao to the room.

The room was huge, much bigger than Chen Erbao's entire home, which was another eye-opener for him.

After washing his face, he suggested they check out the lounge first.

After all, it was his first time in such a fancy hotel. It would be a waste not to experience it.

Perhaps because it was the off-season, the lounge was nearly empty.

The two ordered a couple of drinks and sat down at a table by the window.

"Chen Erbao... do you have a girlfriend?"

Lin Zhiqing asked casually after a few sips of her drink, already feeling a little buzzed.

An image of a woman flickered in Chen Erbao's mind, then vanished without a trace.

"Not anymore."

"So you used to have one?"

Lin Zhiqing's interest was piqued, and she pressed him for more.

"Her family wanted a bride price of 880,000. I couldn't afford it, so we broke up," Chen Erbao said calmly.

Lin Zhiqing frowned.

"For Bailong Village, 880,000 is truly outrageous..."

"How much is your bride price?"

Chen Erbao didn't want to talk about such trivial matters. He scooted a little closer, inhaling the faint scent of her perfume.

Chen Erbao's question caught Lin Zhiqing off guard, and she stammered for a moment.

"My family isn't short on money... As long as it's someone I like, I wouldn't need one..."

Seeing her evasive gaze, Chen Erbao cupped her face in his hands, forcing her to meet his eyes.

"Oh? So who is it that you like?"

"No... no one..."

Before Lin Zhiqing could finish her sentence, the face in front of her suddenly loomed closer, and the next moment, a familiar warmth pressed against her lips.

The two of them wrapped their arms around each other irresistibly, falling into a deep French kiss.

Chen Erbao only released her when Lin Zhiqing was almost out of breath.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I saw a cat in my room earlier that can do backflips. Want to go see it?"

Lin Zhiqing's heart was pounding wildly, but at the same time, she was amused by Chen Erbao's ridiculous excuse.

'How could there possibly be a cat in a room at a high-end hotel?'

But she didn't call him out on it, whispering back:

"Is it really that amazing? I don't believe you..."

That did it!

Chen Erbao pulled Lin Zhiqing out of the lounge and up the elevator to the room. The moment they were inside, he pushed her against the wall and hooked the door shut with his foot, locking it.

"Y-You... aren't we going to see the cat?"

Lin Zhiqing's heart raced. With her back against the wall, she watched Chen Erbao nervously, her hands fidgeting, unsure where to put them.

"To hell with the cat!"

Dropping all pretenses, Chen Erbao unbuttoned Lin Zhiqing's white blouse, pushed aside her white bra, and set his mouth to her breast.

Her skin was slightly cool at first, but soft and tender, with a supple bounce.

But after just a few sucks, the peak hardened, and a faint blush appeared on her fair skin, spreading outwards.
