Chapter 499 - Hsu Chenyue's Birthda
Murong Tian let out a sigh.
“No worries. I've got a plan.”
Murong Guo offered a slight smile.
“Really?”
Murong Tian's spirits lifted immensely.
“Absolutely,” Murong Guo stated with confidence. “There's no need for me to deceive you. I recall that today is Hsu Chenyue's birthday. It's the perfect chance for us to make a move.”
Early in the morning, Su Ming awoke.
He stretched leisurely, feeling revitalized.
He called his parents to suggest lunch together, only to learn they were currently sunbathing at Shore Park's beach in Eastsea City.
Su Ming shook his head with a sigh.
After freshening up and grabbing a quick bite, he headed out to the fields.
He diligently weeded, aerated the soil, watered the plants, and applied some Blessing Potion.
Next, he tidied the yard and checked on the five Rock-and-roll Turtles in the aquatic product area, who appeared to be resting.
The alpaca maintained its usual cool demeanor. The Three-legged Golden Toad, however, had undergone significant growth, its body still shimmering in gold.
Su Ming adjusted the animals' free-roaming schedule and distributed some feed.
Before long, it was midday.
While Su Ming was occupied, his phone buzzed.
He saw that Hsu Chenyue was calling, which took him by surprise.
The ambiance at Longhua KTV was exceptional, ranking as one of the finest in Eastsea. While an ordinary KTV might charge only a couple of hundred yuan for a few hours, this establishment's average spend per person was at least a thousand yuan or more. And if one opted for drinks and snacks, the bill would climb even higher. However, the premium environment—with concert-quality sound systems and microphones, luxurious leather sofas worth tens of thousands of yuan, and imported fruits not found in regular markets—was well worth the expense.
Additionally, there was a dedicated kitchen here, serving up delectable cuisine. This place was truly a slice of heaven compared to your average KTV.
Eastsea was home to many affluent individuals and a substantial middle class. Though they didn't frequent this spot daily, they made it a point to visit at least once every six months. Upon arriving at the parking lot, Su Ming and Hsu Chenyue could already tell it was a popular destination.
The private rooms were located on the third floor, so Hsu Chenyue and Su Ming made their way up.
They traversed a lavishly decorated dark red hallway before opening the door to a private room.
Inside, three beautiful women were engaged in conversation.
Each of them was strikingly attractive. The room was comfortably warm, prompting them to dress lightly and show off their fair skin.
The air was filled with the sweet scent that's uniquely associated with young women.
Su Ming used his scanner for a quick peek and realized that none of the three had undergone cosmetic surgery.
Indeed, it seemed that beauties tended to flock together.
The women, initially absorbed in their chat, stood up and approached when they saw Hsu Chenyue enter with a man.
“I never thought you'd actually bring a boyfriend here.”
“Wasn't it you who claimed you'd never have a boyfriend in your lifetime, just last year?”
“You're quite handsome. Would you mind having one more girlfriend?”
Su Ming's mouth twitched at the comments from the three women. It appeared that the adage about girls being more open-minded than boys was true, and he was now witnessing it firsthand.
“Let's keep it professional, ladies.”
Hsu Chenyue, caught between amusement and exasperation, pushed the three incessantly chatty women back onto the couch. “Su Ming, pay them no mind. These three are my best friends and were my college classmates. We've kept in touch since graduation. They do have a penchant for gossip.”
The group of five settled in together.
Hsu Chenyue's family was well-off, so she didn't hesitate to order an abundance of food and drinks. Clearly, they were all set to enjoy a fun-filled all-nighter. Su Ming sensed that perhaps she needed to unwind after the events of the previous evening.
