9: Chapter 9 triggers a mandatory quest!

Seeing Ye Fan actually dared to disobey her orders and made his own decision to stay for dinner made Li Qingxue feel somewhat displeased.

A mere bodyguard.

He was really pushing his luck; had she misjudged him before?

Noticing the change in her gaze, Ye Fan frowned inwardly. His ability to read people's expressions wasn't simple given how far he had come, but he still decided to brace himself and go to dinner together.

Chu Xiao had gotten the better of him in their previous exchange, making Ye Fan feel extremely frustrated and angry.

As a Child of Fortune, he was determined to regain his dignity.

Chu Xiao, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief; he was terrified that this ATM of a Ye Fan would leave. After all, gaining 999 pleasure points just by slapping his face once was a rare opportunity.

A Child of Fortune was harder to find than a needle in a haystack!

He couldn't let this kid get away.

Chu Lingyin pouted, staring at Ye Fan with a look of wariness and disgust. She turned to look at her elder brother, Chu Xiao, unable to understand at her young age why he would invite a bad person to eat with them.

"Young Miss Li, today I'll be the host. You can name any place you'd like to eat. By the way, Brother Ye, don't look so sour. Young Miss Li and I have already made it clear that our past engagement is void. I definitely won't have any designs on her. So, there's no need for you to be hostile toward me."

"I, Chu, act uprightly and would never do something like stealing another man's love."

Chu Xiao politely pulled open the car door, putting on a very generous display.

Hearing this, Li Qingxue felt a strange pang of discomfort in her heart, though she couldn't explain why.

Perhaps to her, every man in the world should like and admire her!

Meanwhile, Ye Fan's face remained as unsightly as ever, his heart filled with rage and grievance. He was especially annoyed by Chu Xiao's posturing and the way he addressed him as "Brother Ye" at every turn.

Peace Hotel.

One of the top-tier restaurants in Jianghai City. Usually, people dining here needed to make a reservation in advance. However, Chu Xiao was a special case.

After all, he was driving a limited-edition dark gold lotus evija; few people in the entire country could afford such a luxury car.

As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the Peace Hotel, without a word being said, the hotel's general manager rushed out to greet them, respectfully leading Chu Xiao and his party to the most high-end private booth.

In any world, there are social hierarchies; some people are born with privileges!

This is an inevitable part of human societal development.

Chu Xiao was one of those lucky individuals who possessed such privileges.

Inside the private booth, a beautiful waitress respectfully approached with the menu. Her special uniform accentuated her curvaceous figure, and she said with a sweet smile, "Young Master Chu, this is today's menu. Please see what you would like to eat?"

Her voice was very gentle, as if she were speaking to her first love.

Chu Xiao took the menu, glanced at it, and said, "Bring me every one of the most expensive dishes on here. Also, bring out the best wine your Peace Hotel has. Red, white, and yellow—bring them all."

The prices here were not cheap; ordering like this would easily exceed a million.

The food was one thing, but the wine was the most expensive part; top-tier aged cellar wines could easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.

The beautiful waitress was stunned for a couple of seconds, but she quickly reacted, "Alright, Young Master Chu, please wait a moment."

[Ding!]

[You have gained the waitress's favor, obtaining 9 pleasure points!]

[Ding!]

[The Child of Fortune Ye Fan is jealous of you, you have obtained 99 pleasure points!]

The System's voice echoed in his mind.

The corners of Chu Xiao's mouth curled up. As he expected, showing off in front of the Child of Fortune would yield a large amount of pleasure points!

Having finished the order, the beautiful waitress bowed to leave.

"Wait!"

Chu Xiao called her back.

The beautiful waitress asked with a smile, "Does Young Master Chu have any other instructions?"

Chu Xiao said nothing, only pulling out two stacks of brand-new bills from his leather bag and placing them in the waitress's hand, saying, "This is your tip."

Looking at the two stacks of bills in her hand, the waitress seemed a bit flustered. She had seen people give tips, but never anyone give this much; this thickness was probably around 20,000 yuan.

It was equivalent to a month's salary for her.

"It's too much! Young Master Chu, we have rules here; I can't accept such a large tip from a guest."

The waitress said in shock.

Chu Xiao smiled faintly and said, "If I tell you to take it, take it. I'd like to see who dares to say anything to you."

Finally, the beautiful waitress hurried away clutching the two stacks of new bills, her cheeks flushed and her smile incredibly sweet.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, you have gained the beautiful waitress's admiration, obtaining 99 pleasure points!]

[Ding!]

[The Child of Fortune Ye Fan is feeling extreme jealousy toward you, you have obtained 199 pleasure points!]

The System's voice flashed again.

Chu Xiao felt wonderful. To him, anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem at all. For just twenty thousand yuan, he had harvested nearly 406 pleasure points.

A massive profit!

"Young Master Chu's squandering is a bit too profligate, isn't it?"

Ye Fan, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but speak up. A glint of jealousy flickered in his eyes; he was very displeased by Chu Xiao's extravagant behavior.

Having experienced the injustices of the world since childhood, he had a strong sense of resentment toward the wealthy.

Chu Xiao shrugged and laughed, "In the eyes of ordinary people, my behavior is indeed a bit wasteful. But my greatest goal in life is to be a spendthrift—a happy one. Anyway, money and wealth have no meaning to me anymore. Look how happy that waitress was after receiving the tip. My biggest hobby is seeing others happy."

"Hehe!! Young Master Chu truly is charitable!" Ye Fan gave a cold, self-deprecating laugh and then shut his mouth, speaking no more.

He didn't speak.

But Chu Xiao wouldn't stay idle. He immediately said, "I see that Brother Ye has a dignified appearance and striking features; you surely aren't a Mortal. Your background must be extraordinary. I wonder what kind of business your family is in?"

Asked this, Ye Fan suddenly didn't know how to answer. His current status was just a bodyguard, with a monthly salary of only about 50,000 yuan.

He frowned and was about to speak.

Li Qingxue, worried the lie would be exposed, quickly said, "I met him abroad. The Ye family was among the first group of overseas Chinese to go abroad in the early years; they currently do export trade abroad."

Chu Xiao touched the bridge of his nose and looked at Ye Fan with a sharp, mocking gaze, as if saying, 'Stop pretending, you little pauper. I know you're just a small bodyguard.'

As a Child of Fortune, Ye Fan had a strong sixth sense. He immediately interpreted the meaning in Chu Xiao's eyes, and his brow furrowed as the Killing Intent in his heart intensified.

A mere playboy of the second generation dares to mock me with his eyes!

He deserves to die!

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Child of Fortune Ye Fan has developed extreme Killing Intent toward you!]

[Issuing Mandatory Mission: Kill the Child of Fortune Ye Fan!]

[Mission Reward: 9,999 pleasure points!]

[Note: This mission is mandatory. The host must accept it and complete the kill within the specified time!]

[Mission Duration: Seven days!]

Hiss!

Holy crap!

Chu Xiao shouted inwardly, "Awesome!"

Who would have thought that provoking the Child of Fortune could trigger this kind of Mandatory Mission?
