Chapter 144 - 108: The Peak of Nanshan, Happy as an Immortal
"Thanks. I appreciate it."
Xu Yun asked, "Are there any better private rooms available? Get me one."
"Yes, yes, of course! For Young Master Xu, we definitely have one."
"Then go arrange it."
Xu Yun added casually, "By the way, give the young lady who showed me the way a few hundred for a tip. I’ll transfer it to you via WeChat later."
"Understood."
After giving his instructions, Xu Yun walked toward Jiang Peiyao’s booth alone.
He hadn’t even made it there when a halfway-decent-looking man approached her to make his move.
After all, a woman like Jiang Peiyao was a hot commodity in a bar.
Drinking alone and getting drunk, there was no telling how many men had designs on her.
"Drinking alone, beautiful?"
The man said with a confident smile, "How about I join you for a drink?"
"Who are you?"
Jiang Peiyao looked at the stranger before her with hazy, drunken eyes and retorted, "Why should I drink with you?"
"Meeting like this is fate. Just think of it as making a new friend."
The man said tentatively, "My booth is over there. It’s a little nicer than this one. Why don’t you come drink with me? I have a few friends with me, too. It’ll be more lively with more people."
"I don’t know you."
Although drunk, Jiang Peiyao still shook her head. "I don’t want to drink with you."
"We can get to know each other..."
Just as the man was about to pester her further, Xu Yun walked over. He ignored the man, looked down at Jiang Peiyao, and asked, "Is the drink good?"
Hearing Xu Yun’s voice, Jiang Peiyao turned to look at him, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"If I hadn’t come, you would’ve been eaten alive."
Xu Yun glared irritably at the man. "Right?"
"Buddy, you’ve got it all wrong. I just wanted to have a drink with her. I’ll leave now."
The man beside them saw that the two knew each other, gave an awkward smile, and then quickly got up and left.
The woman was gorgeous, but most people wouldn’t do something as stupid as getting into a fight over a woman in a bar.
Jiang Peiyao poured Xu Yun a glass of liquor. "Want a drink?"
"What do you think?"
"Right. You wouldn’t drink cheap liquor like this."
Jiang Peiyao gave a self-deprecating laugh, picked up her glass, and downed it in one go.
Then she poured herself another glass.
Just then, Zhao Dong came over. He glanced at Jiang Peiyao and said to Xu Yun, "Young Master Xu, the private room is ready. It’s upstairs."
"Alright," Xu Yun replied. He bent down, hoisted Jiang Peiyao over his shoulder, and said, "Let’s go. Lead the way."
"..."
Watching this, Zhao Dong swallowed hard. ’This is way too wild.’
’Good thing Jiang Peiyao is wearing jeans and not a skirt, or she would’ve been completely exposed.’
Hoisted up, Jiang Peiyao was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she began to struggle and shout, "Xu Yun, put me down! Put me down right now!"
"Don’t move!"
Xu Yun gave her round bottom three firm slaps.
"Behave, or I’ll spank your ass until it’s sore."
"..."
Hanging upside down, Jiang Peiyao was instantly flushed with shame and fury.
But she quieted down.
The other patrons in the bar were also stunned by the scene.
’Damn, he just threw her over his shoulder and walked off.’
’Is he kidnapping her?’
As he walked, Zhao Dong explained to the crowd, "It’s fine, that’s his girlfriend! That’s his girlfriend! She’s just drunk."
Zhao Dong worked at the bar, and most people recognized him, so they naturally believed him.
Carrying Jiang Peiyao, Xu Yun followed Zhao Dong all the way up to the second floor under everyone’s astonished gazes. He wasn’t led to a booth, but to one of the private rooms located further inside.
These rooms had all been reserved long ago, but Zhao Dong had managed to pull some strings and secure one.
The moment they entered the private room, the noisy scene from outside instantly faded into silence.
Zhao Dong tactfully turned around, left, and closed the door, standing guard outside.
Xu Yun placed Jiang Peiyao on the sofa, reached out to open a bottle of foreign liquor, and sat down to the side. "Didn’t you want to drink?" he said leisurely. "My treat. Drink here, drink as much as you want. No one will bother you."
"Xu Yun, I..."
Jiang Peiyao had sobered up a little by now. She looked at Xu Yun and suddenly broke down.
Then she started to cry.
Xu Yun didn’t try to comfort her. He just let her cry, let her vent.
’For Jiang Peiyao to run off to a bar to drink her sorrows away alone, something must have happened!’
Half an hour later, she finally stopped.
Xu Yun asked with a smile, "Done crying?"
"I’m done."
"Still want to drink? If you do, I’ll drink with you."
"No more drinking," Jiang Peiyao said, shaking her head.
Xu Yun asked again, "Then should I take you home?"
"I don’t want to go home."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to go to Nanshan to see the night view for a while."
Jiang Peiyao asked, "Can you take me there?"
"Alright."
The two came out of the private room and saw Zhao Dong still at the door. Xu Yun smiled. "Thanks for all your trouble tonight."
"No trouble at all. It’s what I should do."
Zhao Dong asked, "Is Young Master Xu leaving already?"
"Yeah. What’s the total for tonight?"
Zhao Dong replied, "This room has a 50,000 yuan minimum charge. Since you didn’t order any specific drinks, we’ll just charge the 50,000."
"Okay."
Xu Yun took out his phone and transferred 60,000 yuan to Zhao Dong via WeChat. "Help me settle the bill. The extra 10,000 is for you."
"Okay, thank you, Young Master Xu!"
Zhao Dong was ecstatic.
’Young Master Xu really is a big shot, dropping a 10,000 yuan tip just like that.’
’It’s a good thing I was sharp enough last time to notice this woman talking to Young Master Xu at the bar entrance and kept it in mind. Otherwise, I never would have gotten so lucky today.’
With Zhao Dong seeing them off, Xu Yun and Jiang Peiyao left the bar. They had been there for less than an hour, coming and going in a flash.
