Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 735 - 744 Lucky Guy

By noon, most of the more renowned restaurants in Donghai City were already packed with guests.

In this economic capital, the spending power is anything but average; in this city, money is always in short supply, and it's no use bragging about how much you have.

Sapphire Lover is a top-level restaurant in Donghai, considered first-rate for a reason: entry is practically barred unless your fortune is worth at least a million.

It's no exaggeration – even a bottle of mineral water can become an extravagance here, costing you hundreds. Ordinary people just can't afford it.

This place is usually frequented by wealthy young masters and other rich folks pursuing women, where the appeal isn't about the cost but the class it reflects.

The restaurant has private rooms, but even these often require reservations well in advance or you won't stand a chance of getting in.

Yu Rou was grateful that she managed to make a reservation here, but when she arrived, the staff recognized her and informed her that a better room was available.

It just so happened that the guests of a Diamond Lovers' Suite were an hour late and hadn't shown up, leaving it vacant.

Upon hearing this name, naturally, she decided to switch, and so sat contentedly in the elegantly unique suite, waiting for Ye Ling.

After returning from Xiangjiang, Yu Rou had overcome her initial shock, and almost immediately people from HQ came to express their concern, including the company president himself.

They apologized profusely for the ordeal and inconvenience suffered during the trip, promising to arrange and handle all future itineraries more carefully.

Of course, as compensation, they offered Yu Rou several reality show slots and records, which to the discerning was obviously more than what her incident warranted – it was clearly thanks to the intimidating Young Master Ye behind her.

Other than him, who else could make the big boss of the Huaxia entertainment industry personally step forward to apologize and bow his head?

Yu Rou was no fool; she knew it was all Ye Ling's doing and quickly found an opportunity to invite him for a meal to express her thanks. When her agent Sister Li learned of this, she looked at Yu Rou with a strange expression.

"Hehe, Yu Rou, tell your sister, have you fallen for that Young Master Ye?"

"I'm telling you, if you like him, you've got to be proactive, go chase him. Don't stay silent and end up regretting when you're old, with nowhere to go and cry!"

"Take advantage of your youth now, be proactive. Don't give up future happiness just for the sake of pride; at the very least, don't leave yourself with regrets and what-ifs."

Those words turned Yu Rou's cheeks a deep shade of red. What was Sister Li talking about? Since when had she fallen for Ye Ling? At most, she felt a bit of fondness for him.

Thinking this, Yu Rou lowered her head, as if Ye Ling was sitting right across from her. Her cheeks flushed as red as a ripe apple, irresistibly tempting to pluck.

"Please come in, sir."

Just then, Yu Rou suddenly heard the friendly voice of the server from outside and quickly stood up. The door opened, and there was Ye Ling, carrying a basket full of fresh veggies, with a broad smile as he entered.

Yu Rou was startled, sensing that Ye Ling had changed, becoming quite different from before.

The Ye Ling of the past, though not arrogant or loud, exuded an air of superiority, appearing extraordinary to all who saw him.

But now look at him: dressed in ordinary clothes, holding a basket of groceries, even wearing slippers – he was the spitting image of an average family man, approachable and unassuming.

"What's the matter, Yu Rou? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with the way I'm dressed?"

Ye Ling stared blankly at Yu Rou's odd look before hastily checking his own attire. Oh right, he was indeed not dressed quite appropriately.

Just as Yu Rou was about to say it didn't matter, suddenly a few flamboyantly dressed young masters strolled past the private room's entrance, with the leader of the group rubbing his eyes in astonishment.

"Wow! My Young Master Ye, what's with this outfit you're wearing today?"

The speaker was none other than Wang Chao, the wealthy young master whose family owned a hospital. Behind him followed a group of rich young masters from well-to-do families.

When they heard Wang Chao call out 'Young Master Ye,' each of them quickly bowed and respectfully greeted him as 'Young Master Ye.'

In Donghai, the only person who could willingly make Wang Chao call out 'Young Master Ye' was the legendary Ye Ling; no one else in the vast Donghai had that privilege.

"Wang Chao, I'm just running errands, buying groceries for your sister-in-law. A friend invited me, so I stopped by for a meal. You know how it is. Ever since I had a child, my status at home has hit rock bottom."

Ye Ling gave a wry smile as he spoke. He and Wang Chao actually had a pretty good relationship, especially since all of his wives gave birth in Wang Chao's family hospital.

Plus, this guy knew how to conduct himself and manage affairs, at least making himself not disliked, which was quite rare. At the very least many people couldn't achieve that.

Wang Chao glanced at the lady inside the room, and his eyes lit up, "Hehe, Young Master Ye, enjoy your meal. I'll come over to toast you in a little while. Let me sort them out first."

"Sure, go ahead. I'll head inside now."

Ye Ling patted Wang Chao's shoulder and entered the room. Hearing Ye Ling's words, Yu Rou felt a pang of disappointment in her heart. Indeed, the man opposite her was already married and even had children. What was she in comparison?

"Yu Rou, what made you think of inviting me for a meal today? You're not trying to thank me, are you?"

Ye Ling put down the basket of vegetables and smiled slightly as he nodded at the private room, "Nice room, just a shame there are only two of us here. It feels quite empty."

"But, well, there's nothing we can do about it. You're a big star now, you can't always be out in the public eye. How does it feel compared to before?"

Ye Ling asked with a smile and then sat next to Yu Rou. A large round table that could seat about eight to ten people was now occupied only by the two of them.

Yu Rou's face turned red, and she smiled sheepishly, "What can I say? It's not as free as before, but life is more comfortable and affluent."

"Ye Ling, if it hadn't been for you, my fate would definitely not have changed like this. And you saved my life."

"Other than being grateful, I really don't know how else to thank you."

Yu Rou hurriedly spoke with warmth, while Ye Ling beside her waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, why so formal? It makes it seem awkward."

"You're like a diamond, just one that's been covered in dust all this time. One day, you're bound to shine."

Hearing this, Yu Rou smiled helplessly. In this world, many people were more talented than her. In other words, there were plenty of diamonds around. Why then, should hers shine bright enough to be noticed by everyone?

A good horse is common, but Bole, the great horse connoisseur, is rare.

This is a very pale and realistic issue, one that many people face, and clearly, Yu Rou was one of the lucky ones.
