13: We must seize this opportunity.

Lei Jun felt a strong sense of nausea.

"Get lost."

The green-haired rapper's face instantly turned incredibly ugly; he hadn't expected her to be so dismissive, embarrassing him in front of so many people.

His tone became aggressive: "Hey, what kind of attitude is that?"

"What's wrong with getting to know each other? You're not going to give me any face?"

Qin Yu, who had been observing from the shadows, knew his chance to perform had arrived.

He quickly stood up and led his friends toward the green-haired rapper with large strides.

He shoved the eyesore of a green-haired rapper aside with such force that the man stumbled back several steps, nearly knocking over a nearby chair.

"Who the f*ck are you? Looking for trouble?" the green-haired rapper cursed as he steadied himself.

"You're not worthy of knowing." Qin Yu sneered, pinning the green-haired rapper directly to the ground.

Qin Yu noticed the man was covered in cheap knock-offs.

This boosted his confidence; when dealing with someone so full of bluster and without any backing, he didn't need to have any reservations.

"Sister Lei, I hope I didn't disturb you?"

After restraining the man, Qin Yu immediately turned to Lei Jun and spoke respectfully.

"I'll take care of this fly that came out of nowhere for you."

Lei Jun nodded slightly.

The green-haired rapper still wanted to struggle and shout, but his companions were already pale with fear and rushed forward in a panic.

One of them clamped a hand over his mouth, while another bowed repeatedly to Qin Yu in apology.

"We're sorry, Young Master Qin!"

"Sorry, he's new and doesn't know the rules. He was blind to who he was dealing with!"

"We'll take him and get out of here right now. We won't disturb you or this lady!"

Apologizing as they went, they practically dragged the still-muffled and struggling green-haired rapper out of the dessert shop in a panic.

They might not have known Lei Jun, but they certainly wouldn't dare not to know a famous young master like Qin Yu.

And anyone who could make Qin Yu act so respectfully was obviously someone they could never afford to offend.

This scene was witnessed by all the other customers in the dessert shop, and the faint murmurs instantly vanished.

In its place was a cautious silence and even more inquisitive gazes.

The way everyone looked at Lei Jun changed completely, shifting from initial amazement at her beauty to deep curiosity and awe regarding her identity.

"That young man is the son of the Qin Family, right? I saw him at a business conference last time..."

"He's so respectful to that Silver-haired Girl, even calling her sister?"

"That girl looks even younger than him. What kind of background does she have?"

"She's definitely not the daughter of an ordinary family. Maybe she's from one of the families at the top..."

Some who might have had thoughts of approaching her completely lost their nerve and lowered their heads.

Lei Jun was indeed pleased with Qin Yu's well-timed intervention.

She didn't like trouble; it felt good to have someone proactively clear away the noise for her.

"Xiao Qin."

"Yes, Sister Lei, do you have any other instructions?" Qin Yu asked respectfully.

"Don't just stand there," Lei Jun gestured toward the empty seats nearby with her eyes. "Have your friends come over. Order whatever you want; my treat."

Qin Yu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Sister Lei!"

He turned and waved to his companions: "Come over here, and behave yourselves."

The few young people finally snapped out of it and cautiously sat down one by one on the sofa opposite Lei Jun, their backs straight as boards and their hands placed neatly on their knees.

One of the boys wearing glasses accidentally bumped into the cutlery on the table, making a soft "ting" sound. He was so startled that he apologized immediately, his face turning several shades paler.

Seeing them look as if they were facing a great enemy, Lei Jun found it somewhat amusing.

Her smile momentarily dimmed the brilliance of the entire luxury dessert shop.

Those watching in secret couldn't help but stare in a daze, the phrases "a smile that could topple cities" and "unrivaled elegance" simultaneously popping into their minds.

"No need to be so restrained," Lei Jun said gently. "Just relax."

However, her words didn't relax the young people opposite her much.

Their nerves remained taut, and they only nodded hurriedly.

Looking at Lei Jun's smile, a decision formed in Qin Yu's mind... he had to seize this opportunity!

This Sister Lei's background was unfathomable; although her personality was a bit cold, she didn't seem difficult to get along with.

If he could become someone she recognized, even if it meant just following her as a lackey, it would absolutely not be shameful. Instead, it would be a shortcut to the true upper circles!

With that thought, he no longer hesitated. Since Lei Jun told him to order, he would order; being obedient and sincere was much better than being falsely polite.

He picked up the menu and began to order skillfully, no longer restraining his friends and signaling them to relax.

Before long, a waiter pushed an exquisite trolley over, delivering the "starry sky dream" and "golden years" that Lei Jun had ordered, along with many other expensive desserts and drinks.

"Beautiful lady, your order is complete. Please enjoy your meal." The waiter's attitude was several degrees more respectful than before.

Lei Jun picked up a small gold-plated dessert spoon and took a scoop of the "starry sky dream," which was garnished with caviar and gold leaf.

As it entered her mouth, the saltiness of the Iranian caviar, the cool sweetness of the melon jelly, and the silky richness of the bottom mousse layer blended together wonderfully.

The layers of texture were incredibly rich; it truly lived up to its price.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, enjoying the pleasure brought to her taste buds.

Seeing Lei Jun starting to enjoy her dessert with a relaxed expression, Qin Yu and his friends also gradually became less tense and began to converse in low voices.

However, the content of their conversation had changed completely; they no longer dared to unscrupulously judge the appearance and figures of other women in the shop as they had before.

But they didn't know that Lei Jun, who was leisurely tasting her dessert and seemingly scanning the shop at random, was actually evaluating things with great interest in her mind.

"That curly-haired girl by the window has a really good figure; that dress really highlights her elegance."

"Oh? The short-haired one over there is both handsome and cool; she's the type I would have liked before."

"Tsk, this lady has maintained herself so well; she looks like she's not even thirty..."

She enjoyed the food while making her evaluations, feeling quite pleased.

Lei Jun elegantly finished the last bite of her dessert and picked up a napkin to lightly dab the corners of her mouth.

She raised her hand to signal the waiter for the bill. After swiping her card to pay an amount far exceeding the ten-thousand-yuan task quota, she stood up to leave.

"Sister Lei, you're leaving already?" Qin Yu immediately stood up and asked respectfully.

"Mm," Lei Jun responded flatly.

Qin Yu hurriedly followed closely behind her, personally seeing her out of the dessert shop's main door.

He watched her black harley-davidson merge into the traffic until it completely disappeared around the corner. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief and turn back into the shop.
