Chapter 205: Being Abused is Also a Kind of Happiness
Xiao Yun's expression turned cold as he asked, "Boss, I don't understand what you meant just now!"
"Don't understand? Then please take a look at the entrance of the hotel. What kind of hotel is this?" The Boss continued to speak with a stern face.
Damn it, why is there so much trouble just for a meal? Xiao Yun had no choice but to step outside the hotel. Looking up, he saw a large sign hanging above the entrance: Model Couple Hotel.
Returning to the front desk, he scanned the dining area filled with couples. It seemed that everyone here was married.
Xiao Yun still felt confused about the Boss's meaning. Seeing his blank expression, the Boss sighed in frustration.
Then, the Boss pushed a wheelchair out from behind the counter, where a woman sat with an expressionless face.
Upon seeing that woman, Xiao Yun's heart sank; she looked like a wooden carving. What on earth did this hotel Boss want?
The middle-aged man pointed to the wooden-carved woman in the wheelchair and asked Xiao Yun, "Do you know who she is?"
"I don't know!" Xiao Yun shook his head vigorously.
"She is my wife!" The middle-aged man said, tears suddenly glistening in his eyes.
This wooden carving of a woman is his wife?
This doesn't make sense. Given that this hotel Boss seems to be doing well in business and has likely made some money, plus he himself looks decent enough, there's no way he would use a wooden carving as his wife.
Is it that he is not good in that aspect, unable to face the light, so...
Even so, what is the point of showing me a wooden woman as your wife?
Xiao Yun was lost in thought when he suddenly heard the middle-aged man sigh gloomily, "Actually, my wife has been gone from this world for several years..."
Tears streamed down the middle-aged man's face like a small river.
Then he continued, "The past is like a dream, still vivid in my mind... Ever since I met my wife, we have been inseparable, treating each other with respect. Others said we were like the pair of birds flying in the sky and the intertwined branches growing on the ground. No matter how tough life got, we faced it together, sharing both joy and hardship. This restaurant is the crystallization of our love. Who would have thought that a serious illness would leave her paralyzed in a wheelchair? Yet even though she was gravely ill, she continued to fight for our life together...
Although she has left me, her voice and smile will forever live in my heart. To keep her by my side every day, I specially commissioned someone to create this sculpture based on her appearance when she was alive. Do you know that sign at the entrance? It was given to me voluntarily by the people of Jiang County; it is the honor of my life..."
Clearly, Autumn Moon was moved by his story, wiping away tears as she listened.
"Boss, your story really touched me..." Xiao Yun said, but inside he was still confused about what point he was trying to make with all this.
Little did he know that as soon as he spoke, the middle-aged man became angry: "Hmph! Your sympathy is nothing but an insult to me!"
An insult?
Xiao Yun felt that the middle-aged man's words and actions were unbelievable. How did I insult you?
"I ask you, is that white Volkswagen parked outside yours?" the middle-aged man questioned.
Xiao Yun nodded and replied, "Yes!"
"Hmph,"
the middle-aged man's expression grew increasingly dark. "As expected, you're not a good person! You drive a luxury car around, yet let your wife sell flowers on the street, exposing her to humiliation. Do you have any sense of love for your spouse? Do you even deserve to come to my restaurant to eat?"
—So it turned out this was the big issue!
What a false alarm.
Xiao Yun wiped the sweat from his face and awkwardly smiled, "I'm sorry, Boss, you misunderstood..."
"What did I misunderstand? Kid, do you dare say this beauty is not your wife?" The middle-aged man sternly questioned.
Uh,
Xiao Yun glanced at Autumn Moon beside him, only to see her with her head lowered in embarrassment, her face so red it looked like it could bleed. He had no choice but to admit to the single-minded restaurant Boss, "Boss, you are absolutely right; yes, she... is indeed my wife!"
Xiao Yun suddenly realized that the Boss of this restaurant was truly loving. While answering his question, he felt an impulse to rush over and give him a warm hug.
Such a matchmaker's effort was something this guy could only dream of; it was incredibly supportive.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the male and female diners in the hall began to express their dissatisfaction one by one. Especially some male Beasts, whose eyes were blazing with fury and murderous intent.
"What the hell is this world coming to? Such a fresh and tender cabbage is actually being pushed around by a pig!"
"Look at this guy; he seems decent and dignified, but who would have thought he’s just a beast in disguise!"
"Such a pity for that girl, a person who seems like a Water Spirit or Celestial Being, how could she marry such a man..."
"Sigh, a Hero has no good wife, and a Lousy Man marries a Flower Jiao Zhi, Heaven truly must be blind..."
Dizzy, it’s fortunate that someone has such thick skin; otherwise, being spat on by everyone would either drown him or embarrass him to death.
Cough cough...
Xiao Yun covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then smiled innocently at the middle-aged man and said, "Uh, Boss, can my wife and I leave now?"
"No way,"
The middle-aged man took out paper and a pen from under the counter, slapped them on the table, and glared as he shouted, "You need to write a letter of repentance expressing your sincere remorse for your immoral behavior today. Only then can you leave here!"
Sweat,
What does he mean by immoral behavior? Am I that despicable?
This hotel’s Boss really knows how to be serious. Sigh, who told me to mistakenly enter this Model Couple Hotel? It seems I have no choice but to accept it.
Meanwhile, Autumn Moon was anxiously stomping her feet, beads of sweat covering her flushed face as she hurriedly said, "Boss, you... you’ve misunderstood..."
The middle-aged man replied, "Madam, looking at your appearance, you seem like a very kind-hearted person. I know you want to plead for your husband, but you must understand that if you don’t teach him a lesson today, he will only become more outrageous in treating you this way..."
"Wife, you don’t need to plead for me anymore,"
Xiao Yun turned to Autumn Moon and smiled in a somewhat exaggerated manner, saying, "I suddenly had an epiphany today. In occasions like this, being mistreated is also a kind of happiness!"
"Who is your wife?"
Autumn Moon was almost embarrassed by his teasing. She rolled her eyes at him and secretly pinched him hard on the waist.
Thinking to herself, she felt that from the moment she met him in her dreams to their encounter today, it seemed like Heaven had set a trap for her, inexplicably making her this guy's wife.
...
On the way to Panlong Mountain, Xiao Yun had a slight smirk on his face, revealing a barely noticeable cold smile. Just as he walked out of the store, the hotel boss had sneakily placed a tracker on him. Not only could it locate where he was, but it could also eavesdrop on his conversations with others.
From the hotel boss's perspective, it might have seemed clever and undetectable, but for Xiao Yun, that subtle action could not escape his peculiar Spiritual Sense.
Why would the hotel boss do this? Was he trying to assess whether Xiao Yun kept his promises and his loyalty to Qiu Yue?
If that were the case, wouldn't it be too perverse?
If not, was he acting on someone else's orders? If so, then let that tracker stay on him; he was curious to see who the mysterious figure behind this was.
At that moment, Autumn Moon glanced at Xiao Yun, who was driving beside her, and playfully said, "Admit it honestly: are you always in the habit of taking advantage of women?"
Taking advantage of women?
Sigh, does she really think so little of me, Xiao Yun?
However, when the words came out of his mouth, they changed: "That depends on whether the girl has any interest in me. In any case, taking advantage also requires mutual consent!"
"Are you saying that I..." At this point, Autumn Moon's face flushed again, leaving her speechless.
Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Haha, regardless of whether you have feelings for me, it seems like the Heavens are helping us. Think about it, why did we have the same dream, and why did we happen to meet today..."
Uh, it seems he has a point. Why is that?
Autumn Moon furrowed her brows in thought, while Xiao Yun felt a stir in his heart. Being with Autumn Moon always made him feel a special aura emanating from her, and why did this aura seem so similar to Sister Qingxue's?
Especially her eyes; they were strikingly similar to Duan Qingxue's beautiful pair!
What surprised Xiao Yun even more was that apart from her appearance, Autumn Moon's height and figure were almost indistinguishable from Duan Qingxue's.
However, in addition to sharing the same special aura as Duan Qingxue, Autumn Moon also exuded a natural Spiritual Energy that Duan Qingxue did not possess.
...
More than an hour later, the car arrived at Panlong Mountain—at the foot of Yanshan. Familiar scenes suddenly appeared before Xiao Yun's eyes: small bridges over flowing water, quaint houses, ancient trees entwined with green vines, and white walls with red-tiled roofs hidden among lush greenery...
Looking at this familiar scenery, an uncontrollable excitement surged within Xiao Yun. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
