Chapter 188 - A Resounding Bang

Jiang Yingyue stood still for some time, allowing Han Qingshan to embrace her as he pleased, but the longer they stood, the more embarrassed she became and the redder her face turned.

"Enough already," she whispered to him, as she could no longer stand the glances that were sent their way.

Han Qingshan understood that it was not the right place to be touchy, so he reluctantly let go of her, sighing when he felt her figure leave his embrace. But he was not pushy and took her hand, smiled at her, and led her down the road.

Time flowed like water, and they had soon been walking for two hours. Their pace had been slow, and the majority of their time was spent looking at the displays in the windows.

"Let us find some food," Han Qingshan said, and they started looking for a restaurant. They were on one of the busiest streets in the entire capital, and thus, it was not hard to find a good restaurant.

Han Qingshan was the one who picked the place. It was one that Jiang Yingyue did not know, but when she saw what they offered, her eyes lit up in excitement.

Seeing her excited, Han Qingshan chuckled. He had noticed that she liked sushi before, and he had remembered that one of the best sushi restaurants in the capital was situated close by. So he led her there intentionally, just to see her smile.

"Young master Shan," the waiter came towards them and bowed deeply in apology. "We were not aware that you were visiting our humble establishment today. We have no spare private rooms available today. I am afraid we only have one free table on the floor."

Han Qingshan had been prepared for this and nodded his head. "Do you mind?" he asked as he turned his head, looking at Jiang Yingyue, who just shook her head.

"In that case, please lead us to the table," he said smilingly, and the waiter breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue went to the table that could seat four people, and they started looking over the menu.

It was a novel feeling for Han Qingshan to sit on the open floor, seeing the many people surrounding them, hearing the bustling background noises, and looking the waiters and waitresses walk around with trays of food and beverages.

Usually, he would always eat in the private rooms, and when he did, he would never experience this sensation that he was feeling now.

Most of the people on the floor were regular commoners who had saved up for an extended period of time, or who had gained a sudden windfall and wished to celebrate at a high-end restaurant.

Han Qingshan looked around, his eyes shining and noticing that even Jiang Yingyue was sitting with a gentle smile on her face as she observed all that happened around them.

Her hand was placed on top of the table, and he put his own on top of hers, perceiving how the heat from her hand transmitted into his palm, and he felt a strange calmness encompassing him.

"What would you like to eat?" he asked gently, and Jiang Yingyue pondered for some time before she picked a few different maki and sashimi.

Han Qingshan did not order as many dishes as he usually did, but there were still many more different types of sushi on their table than on the others.

Many looked over with curiosity when they saw the sheer amount of dishes that this table had ordered, all of them curious as to how it was possible to pay for that many dishes. One has to know that this place was immensely expensive to dine at.

When they looked, they saw that Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan were both wearing branded clothes, their demeanor and aura were so overwhelming that they could not help but take a second glance and they quickly understood that these two people were proper VIPs of the store.

Even more apparent was it when the manager walked over, his face showing a fawning expression, and his eyes were filled with adoration.

"Young Master Shan and Miss, I hope the food is to your taste," the manager said with a smile on his face as he saw that they had been consuming a bit of the dishes, "if there are any issues at all, do not hesitate to contact me."

Han Qingshan politely said his thanks, and the manager, who did not wish to be a bright light bulb, quickly vanished to the side, feeling quite happy that Han Qingshan had not minded eating on the open floor today. It had solved some severe problems for him.

While eating, the two were chatting and laughing together. Seeing the happiness on Jiang Yingyue's face, Han Qingshan also felt warm and fuzzy inside.

Suddenly a loud bang resounded in the entire restaurant. It sounded as if it had come from upstairs, where the private rooms were located.

Everyone on the floor was quiet when they heard the loud noise, worrying that something had gone wrong, and even Han Qingshan was frowning.

Not long after, a young figure was seen charging down the staircase; his face was pale, and his expression livid.

He was unaware that in the middle of the first floor's visitors were Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue, but even if he knew, he would not have paused for a moment.

Both Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue recognized him right away.. He was He Julong, the older brother of He Yuyan.
