As Lee Tao opened the door and prepared to leave, he saw Tang Lingling standing outside with a shocked expression.
"Y–You're awake?" Tang Lingling asked in surprise.
"I-I was going to knock on the door to wake you up…"
"Heh, today's a good day, so why wouldn't I be awake?" Lee Tao laughed as he opened up his bamboo fan.
He was dressed in a white robe, looking exactly like those scholars within the Tianyun Kingdom.
Tang Lingling raised an eyebrow.
'Why does the Young Master seem to be exuding a different kind of aura?' She wondered silently.
Sometime later, Lee Tao and Tang Lingling left the Liu Clan as they boarded on a carriage.
"Where are you going today, Young Master?" The driver asked politely.
"To the Jade Restaurant," Tang Lingling replied on behalf of Lee Tao.
The driver then nodded his head as he controlled the horse to begin moving toward the direction of the Jade Restaurant.
Since Lee Tao was now a famous figure in the Tianyun Kingdom, there was simply no way for him to walk casually in the public streets without creating a scene.
It was like if a popular celebrity suddenly appeared on the street and people would definitely be rushing toward the celebrity, asking for selfies, signatures, etc.
After traveling for a while, the driver suddenly stopped the carriage as he informed them that they had arrived.
"Young Master, we are outside the Jade Restaurant now."
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"Give him a tip," Lee Tao said to Tang Lingling as he opened the carriage door.
Tang Lingling retrieved a spirit stone and handed it to the driver when she left the carriage.
"We'll probably be in the restaurant for a while, so you can wait along the sidewalk." Tang Lingling said.
"Of course, I'll wait here for as long as the Young Master wants." The driver replied swiftly as he clutched tightly on the spirit stone.
Sometime later, Lee Tao and Tang Lingling entered the Jade Restaurant where a beautiful hostess came to greet them.
"Welcome honorable guest, did you reserve a table?" The hostess said.
Before Lee Tao could answer her, Tang Lingling suddenly stood forward and blocked his vision.
After all, the clothes that the hostess is wearing are extremely seductive.
It was a red-long cheongsam but it was cut to reveal her entire long leg up to her waist. In addition, there was an open cut in between her breasts, allowing others to see her cleavage.
"We are here to meet with Zuo Xiaoli," Tang Lingling said in a somewhat stern voice.
The hostess could only smile bitterly as she nodded her head.
"I see… so you're the guests that Lady Zuo Xiaoli had been waiting for," The hostess said as she pointed upstairs.
"Lady Zuo Xiaoli is upstairs in room #5."
Tang Lingling nodded her head.
"Ok, we can walk there ourselves, no need to guide us," She then said and dragged Lee Tao upstairs.
Meanwhile, Lee Tao held a confused look at her.
"Why are you rushing?" Lee Tao asked.
He was just about to admire the scenery and decoration in the Jade Restaurant.
However, he didn't get a chance to do so when she suddenly blocked his vision and forcefully dragged him.
"Couldn't you tell from that situation, Young Master?" Tang Lingling scoffed as she pointed at the other hostess.
"Unlike the other hostesses that don't have their cheongsam cut in a seductive manner, only that one who greeted us has."
"And?"
"Young Master, that means the hostess was specifically prepared by Zuo Xiaoli since she knew exactly who to greet. Look at her now, she didn't even greet the new customers," Tang Lingling whispered as she pointed at her.
Lee Tao couldn't help but laugh at Tang Lingling's behavior.
Of course, he knew the hostess was chosen by Zuo Xiaoli to serve him tonight.
The impression he gave her last time was that he was a lustful Young Master that would stick his cock to any beautiful woman.
It was all going according to his plan, but Tang Lingling had to ruin it for him again.
'Sigh, what a blunder…' Lee Tao sighed softly as he paused his footstep.
"Tang Lingling, wait for me outside," Lee Tao said.
"W-Why?"
"Don't ask, just do it. Remember, I'm the Young Master here."
Tang Lingling bit her lips softly. She had already come this far with him yet he was now ordering her to leave.
"B-But Madam Liu said it's best that we go together…"
Suddenly, she felt the atmosphere change and Lee Tao was staring intensely at her.
Although his expression remained the same, she could tell he was not in a good mood if she were to delay any longer.
With a bit of reluctance, Tang Lingling nodded her head.
"I-I understand…"
Afterward, Tang Lingling headed downstairs as she left the Jade Restaurant.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chu appeared as she asked, "Why did you send her away?"
"Because what I'm about to do next is something I don't want anyone else to know."
"You mean fucking her?"
"..."
Lee Tao shook his head as he walked upstairs. "If I wanted to fuck her then I wouldn't have waited this long."
Sometime later, Lee Tao stood in front of room #5 as he curled his lips upward.
"It's time to start," Lee Tao muttered as he pushed the door open and entered.
"Sorry, I was busy handling a prisoner on my way out, so it took a while for me to arrive," Lee Tao fanned himself with the bamboo fan as he smiled at Zuo Xiaoli.
The room may be large but there was only Zuo Xiaoli sitting in a chair.
"Young Master Lee Tao is indeed a busy man. It should be my fault for taking some of your precious time," Zuo Xiaoli stood up as she extended her hand out for Lee Tao to take a seat.
Lee Tao chuckled softly as he flicked his hand and closed the door behind.
"You are really an amazing woman, Zuo Xiaoli.. To still be able to act like a dignified woman despite being sold once."
