Chapter 250: Chapter 251: Candlelight Dinner
“Do you remember now?” Li Xiaoya asked with a smile.
“Yes, I remember,” Xiao Han hurriedly nodded and said, “I just didn’t expect time to have flown by so fast.”
“Exactly!” Li Xiaoya nodded and said, “Time waits for no one. I’m another year older compared to last year.”
“But, sister still looks so young, so beautiful!” Xiao Han chuckled.
“Oh, stop your sweet-talking,” Li Xiaoya replied, biting her lip and looking slightly shy. However, all women liked to be complimented by men. That was utterly sincere.
“What I’m saying is heartfelt,” Xiao Han said with a laugh.
Although Li Xiaoya was already in her mid to late twenties and had a child, she took great care of herself, and her postpartum recovery was remarkably good. Her figure was still as lithe and graceful as a young girl’s, and her face was likewise beautiful, with flawless skin. Her charming eyes always seemed to set off a whirlwind of fancies when they looked at you.
A young woman like Li Xiaoya, indeed, few men could resist her charm. She was like a perfectly ripe peach, every man wanting to hold her in his hands and take a bite. That tender skin, that enticing figure, how could a young man like Xiao Han, full of youthful vigor, withstand her temptation?
At that moment, the waiter rolled up the serving cart.
Western dishes, beef steaks made from Kobe beef, caviar and foie gras air-freighted from France…
Xiao Han felt somewhat at a loss with these Western delicacies. The only thing he knew was to hold the fork in his left hand and the knife in the right. But he couldn’t bring himself to cut into that delicate, beautiful steak. Most importantly, how could these things satisfy his hunger?
“Let me teach you,” Li Xiaoya said very elegantly as she picked up the knife and fork, then guided Xiao Han’s hands on how to cut the beef: “Cutting along the grain of the meat is the easiest and also prevents any impolite friction noise…”
Xiao Han was quick to learn.
The dinner was enjoyable, a candlelit dinner complemented by red wine. Li Xiaoya loved red wine, finding beer too cheap and likely to bloat the stomach, while hard liquor was too vulgar and could easily seem low-class. Only red wine was expensive and had an exquisite taste, most importantly, sought after by high society. Li Xiaoya always placed herself among the noble circles, so red wine was her most cherished drink.
“Where do you want to go later?” Li Xiaoya asked with flushed cheeks, looking at Xiao Han with her enticing eyes.
Gurgle…
Xiao Han swallowed, feeling like a voice inside was shouting non-stop: “Go for it, go for it, what’s there to be polite about!”
But another voice of reason cautioned him: “Xiao Han, you have a girlfriend, you have Chen Zihan, and you still have that girl in white in your heart, haven’t you forgotten her?”
Li Xiaoya bit her red lips gently, her hands softly playing with her hair as she said, “Xiao Han, you…”
“I…” Xiao Han mustered his courage and said, “We could go for a walk.”
Li Xiaoya paused, then took a room card out of the bag she carried and said, “Upstairs, room 808. Do you want to come with me?”
Her tone was very gentle. Li Xiaoya’s intention was clear; tonight, I want to sleep with you. If you miss tonight, you miss it all. It was the first time Li Xiaoya took the initiative to ask a man out, and she had prepared everything. If she were to be rejected tonight, perhaps Li Xiaoya would completely erase those ambiguous feelings for Xiao Han. She didn’t want to make Xiao Han uncomfortable, that was all.
“I…” Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then said, “I want to!”
“Hehe, then what are you hesitating for!” Like a little girl, Li Xiaoya was exuberant, quickly standing up and pulling Xiao Han by the hand to leave.
Xiao Han took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated emotions.
As they were leaving, Xiao Han saw a familiar figure in the restaurant. She was dressed in a black gown, exceptionally gorgeous, like an elegant and noble black swan.
Though it was just a glance, Xiao Han recognized her stunning face clearly—it was his teacher Lan Yudie. The handsome man sitting across from Lan Yudie was wearing a meticulously tailored sapphire blue suit, and despite sitting with a leg over knee, could not hide the attractive aura and inherent grace that radiated from him.
“What are you looking at?” Li Xiaoya turned her head to look at Xiao Han.
“Who is that man?” Xiao Han asked instinctively.
“Oh, him…” Li Xiaoya sounded a bit wistful, then said, “He’s the eldest young master of the Qin Family, named Qin Jun. He’s a typical wealthy and handsome man in our provincial city. Many girls are madly enamored with him.”
“Oh, does he have a younger brother named Qin Xiaotian?” Xiao Han asked in confusion.
“Yes!” Li Xiaoya looked at Xiao Han in surprise before asking, “Right, do you know him?”
“I don’t know him,” Xiao Han shook his head and said, “It’s just an acquaintance. There’s no real recognition.”
“Then there’s no need to pay attention to them,” Li Xiaoya said with a smile. “The Qin Family’s eldest son is a money-grubber, and the second one is a lecher. So, neither of them are good people.”
“I won’t bother with them,” Xiao Han smiled.
Li Xiaoya took Xiao Han by the hand, and they went up in the elevator, all the way to the eighth floor of the hotel.
Li Xiaoya pulled out her room card, then entered the room. The two went straight into the room, which was rather nice, a very atmospheric chamber. Floor-to-ceiling windows with sheer curtains billowed in the breeze, creating an extraordinarily enchanting and beautiful scene, exhilarating beyond compare.
Li Xiaoya, beaming, walked in and then took out a bottle of red wine from the room.
“This is a bottle of red wine I prepared especially for you,” Li Xiaoya said, looking at Xiao Han with a smile.
Xiao Han chuckled and then asked, “Is this… is this Chateau Margaux?”
“Yes!” Li Xiaoya nodded and replied, “It’s a Chateau Margaux that was just air-shipped from France, it cost over six hundred thousand to get here. A glass of this wine is easily more than a hundred thousand yuan.”
“Sis, isn’t this too extravagant?” Xiao Han was flabbergasted.
“Money, well, isn’t it meant to be spent?” Li Xiaoya looked at Xiao Han with a smile and then said, “If money’s just sitting in the bank, it’s nothing but a bunch of numbers, hardly what I’d call money. Only money that is spent counts as money. Understand?”
“Yeah,” Xiao Han nodded, smiling at the corners of his mouth.
Li Xiaoya used a corkscrew to open the bottle of wine and then poured a glass. The wine was no longer red but had taken on an amber color, filling the room with wafts of fragrance that felt irresistibly captivating and utterly comfortable. This sensation was refreshing to the core, making every cell in one’s body open its mouth wide, breathing in the air from the outside non-stop.
Li Xiaoya laughed and then said, “Come on, drink this glass.”
“Yeah!” Xiao Han nodded eagerly.
Holding the wine glass, Xiao Han swirled it gently, and even though he did not know how to taste wine properly, he still had to put on the act. The amber liquid swirled in the glass, and the drifting fragrance was supremely comforting.
Xiao Han took a deep breath and said, “This wine is really good.”
“Yes, it really is,” Li Xiaoya agreed, taking a delicate sip and commenting, “A delicacy of the mortal world.”
Xiao Han’s smile widened as he took a sip as well. The aroma filled the air, caressing Xiao Han’s palate as it passed through his lips. The flavor tantalized his taste buds, making him feel incredibly comfortable and thoroughly delighted.
With closed eyes, Xiao Han softly uttered, “This wine should only exist in the heavens; it’s rare to encounter such a delight on earth.”
After finishing her drink, Li Xiaoya walked over seductively, hooking a hand around Xiao Han’s neck. Her delicate features looked into Xiao Han’s eyes, and with a smile she teased, “Between fine wine and a beautiful woman, which would you choose?”
“Hehe…” Xiao Han chuckled and responded, “Of course, I’d choose you, sis!”
“Silly boy!” Li Xiaoya gently pinched Xiao Han’s nose, saying, “You always know just what to say.”
After saying that, Li Xiaoya’s lips met Xiao Han’s.
No one could resist the allure of a ripe peach, and Xiao Han was human, a man full of vigor at that. Faced with such temptation, how could he resist? With nimble agility, Li Xiaoya’s tongue pried open Xiao Han’s teeth, slipping easily inside his mouth. Xiao Han’s tongue greeted hers, fervently absorbing the sweet saliva as he teasingly said, “Sis, be careful not to play with fire and get burned.”
“I want to!” Li Xiaoya retorted playfully.
As she spoke, she intentionally lowered her dress off one shoulder, revealing her fair, alluring shoulder. Xiao Han, covetous, turned and pinned Li Xiaoya onto the couch.
“Ah!” Li Xiaoya exclaimed.
A tearing sound…
Xiao Han gently parted Li Xiaoya’s clothes, unveiling a captivating sight.
