Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1049 - 1050: Turning Green with Jealousy

At this moment, a sizable crowd had gathered at the entrance of Celestial Universe International Hotel, all lined up in a queue.

"Tang Qiang, what's going on? Didn't you say you reserved the top suite? Why aren't the guards letting us in?" A middle-aged man from within the crowd spoke to a younger man.

This speaker was none other than Prince Di, Di Lanshan's father.

"Brother, you can't blame your nephew for this!" A heavily made-up, flamboyant woman said to Prince Di, "Who knew the hotel was so strict with their booking times? It's only been half an hour, but the reservation is void!"

"Uncle, my mother is right; I did book the top suite. Who could have guessed being half an hour late would void it?" Tang Qiang explained earnestly.

Prince Di gave Tang Qiang a sidelong glance, "I thought my dear nephew was going all out today, inviting his uncle to such an upscale hotel for a meal. Seems like wishful thinking!"

"Uncle, please don't say that, especially when soon we'll all be family..."

"Says who!" suddenly, a voice rang out. Many in the crowd turned to see Di Lanshan walking hand in hand with a young man, who was none other than Xiao Tianyu.

This left Tang Qiang momentarily stunned, especially upon seeing them holding hands, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. More importantly, though Xiao Tianyu was wearing ordinary pajamas, it couldn't hide his dashing appearance.

Tang Qiang coolly asked, "Lanshan, who is this person?"

Today, Tang Qiang had spared no expense booking the top suite at Celestial Universe, for reasons he understood all too well. He even brought his mother along, clearly wanting to propose to Prince Di, but now, Di Lanshan showed up with a stranger holding her hand.

What the uncle can endure, the aunt cannot.

More importantly, this guy was even more handsome than him.

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu was also bewildered. Wasn't he invited for a meal? What did this mean? Why's this woman so scheming? And why did she show up at his place?

In the Immortal Realm, all Celestial Universe locations were essentially Xiao Tianyu's turf, so it was natural for him to think this way.

Thus, Xiao Tianyu glanced at Di Lanshan and asked, "Di Beauty, what are you trying to do? Weren't you supposed to invite me for a meal?"

"Yes!" Di Lanshan whispered, "But you're also helping me fend off someone's unwanted advances!"

"Then I think eating at the Outer Sect cafeteria would be more suitable!" With that, Xiao Tianyu lifted his foot to leave, causing Di Lanshan to be dumbfounded. Was this jerk really unwilling to play the decoy for a moment?

So, Di Lanshan quickly grabbed Xiao Tianyu's hand, causing him to stumble, and glared at her.

Di Lanshan smiled slightly, "Blocking for a moment won't kill you!"

"But I'm not in the habit of being used as a human shield!"

"Just see it as going all out for a friend, okay?"

"No, we're not that close yet. Besides, only fools would go all out like that for friends. Am I that dumb?" Xiao Tianyu whispered seriously.

The next second, Xiao Tianyu suddenly exclaimed, "Ah~ crazy woman, why are you pinching me?"

"Because you're not listening to me!" With that, Di Lanshan displayed an aggrieved expression, like a wronged little woman, her delicate hand ready to pinch Xiao Tianyu again, seemingly warning him: try saying something off again.

"..." Xiao Tianyu was speechless. Why are women always so unreasonable? Wasn't he promised a meal? Is this what a meal invitation looks like?

"Lanshan..." At this time, Prince Di addressed Di Lanshan, "This..."

"Dad, this is the love behind the fights and arguments!" Di Lanshan made a funny face, and formally introduced, "This is my boyfriend, Xiao Tianyu!"

"What, Xiao Tianyu, this... this name seems familiar!" A charming beauty glanced at Xiao Tianyu, thinking he was so handsome. How could Lan Shan's luck be this good?

In comparison, I look better than Lan Shan, so why haven't I found such a boyfriend?

Then the charming beauty flicked her hair deliberately, seemingly trying to attract some people's attention but soon felt disappointed, for Xiao Tianyu hadn't even glanced her way.

So, she thought to herself that she needed to take initiative, even if it led to a one-night stand, it'd be worth it.

So the woman walked gracefully towards Xiao Tianyu, then politely extended her delicate hand.

She said, "Hello, my name is Pan Jinlian!"

Huh?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu displayed a strange expression, "Pan Jinlian is here, so has Ximen Qing arrived?"

"Who?" Pan Jinlian looked confused, clearly not the Pan Jinlian from "Water Margin", while Xiao Tianyu shrugged with a smile, "Just joking!"

"I'm Xiao Tianyu!" Xiao Tianyu replied politely, shaking her hand, but soon realized Pan Jinlian wasn't letting go, leaving him exasperated. This Pan Jinlian seemed no different than the one from "Water Margin".

So Xiao Tianyu grumbled, "Could you release your smelly hand?"

Smelly hand?

This guy actually called my hand smelly, is he kidding? Normally, so many people want to hold my hand but can't, yet he says my hand smells?

Pan Jinlian showed a slightly aggrieved look, and she was a well-known star in the Immortal Realm; on Earth, she'd be an award-winning actress.

So Pan Jinlian, with her beautiful eyes looking ruefully at Xiao Tianyu, said, "My name is Pan Jinlian."

"Didn't you just say that?" Xiao Tianyu replied with a puzzled expression.

"You don't recognize me?" Pan Jinlian felt even more speechless, as she was a household name, yet Xiao Tianyu seemed entirely indifferent to her.

At this point, Di Lanshan smiled at Xiao Tianyu, "Tianyu, she's the hottest star in Celestial Capital, and lots of people in the Immortal Realm know her!"

"I'm not a fan!" Xiao Tianyu replied bluntly, while Di Lanshan shrugged at Pan Jinlian, as if to say, "He doesn't follow stars, there's nothing I can do."

"..." Seeing this, Pan Jinlian wore a woeful expression, choosing to stay silent.

Unbeknownst to them, Tang Qiang was fuming, but it was understandable. He had gone all out to book the top suite here and brought along his mother, intending to propose to Prince Di.

Yet now, Di Lanshan wasn't interested in him and had brought back a boyfriend instead.
