Chapter 422: The Sea of ​​Sunlight

"You don't understand the pleasure of spending money."

Zheng Qian shrugged, looking at the man and woman by the window, and said thoughtfully, "Who doesn't know how to throw money around? I could even offer the owner of this shop a price he couldn't refuse and buy this place outright. But what would be the point of that? I genuinely enjoy watching people dance to the tune of money."

Wei Rusi raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

She just kept repeating one thought in her mind: what a show-off.

Zheng Qian also nodded silently.

Yeah, that was definitely a good act of showing off.

He had read those words in a book a while ago and memorized them. He had always been waiting for the right moment to use them to show off, and it seemed now was the perfect time.

Then again, Zhuang Yaoyao had already entered a state of extreme excitement.

She still remembered her little friend bragging to her a couple of days ago. Her friend's seat had indeed been very close to the window, but that was just close! There were still several seats away from the actual window!

Hmph, look at my position now!

Zhuang Yaoyao happily took several photos.

"Um... could you... take a few of me too..."

Chen Shaoyang suddenly said, his face turning red.

Zhuang Yaoyao: ???

Aren't you able to come here whenever you want? Why do you need to take pictures?

"Hahaha, actually, it's mainly because I really enjoy this feeling between us, and I want to preserve it well in the form of photos! When we get old in the future, won't we have something to reminisce about? Isn't that right?"

Chen Shaoyang said with a look of deep affection.

"You are so good to me." Zhuang Yaoyao smiled sweetly and was about to sit next to him.

"Um... let's take pictures together later, take one of me first. Because I'm really too curious about what I look like when I'm thinking of you with all my heart."

Chen Shaoyang still answered very seriously.

Zhuang Yaoyao didn't suspect anything, and after helping him take photos for five consecutive minutes, he finally told her to stop.

Chen Shaoyang was very satisfied. Well, actually, he himself wasn't sure why he was able to sit here now. But with these few photos, he should be able to attract some girls in his social circle, right?

Heh, once they see I can sit here, they'll definitely line up to sleep with me, right?

"By the way, Young Master Chen, um... can I order a bottle of wine? When my little friend came here before, she also ordered a bottle of wine. It felt quite nice, and I really want to try it. Can I?"

Zhuang Yaoyao looked at Chen Shaoyang with great anticipation.

He didn't think twice and just waved his hand, "Order whatever you want. Waiter, come here!"

This wasn't because Chen Shaoyang was particularly generous, but because he knew the rules here. With his level, he could only order wine worth a few tens of thousands at most. Those good wines were not something he could order right now.

Even if he could order them, it usually required an advance reservation.

In short, among the wines he could order, the price was still affordable.

"Let's have a bottle of [Sea of Sunlight]!"

Zhuang Yaoyao grinned and ordered a bottle.

"Very well."

The waiter quickly noted it down and turned to leave.

Chen Shaoyang: ???

That's not right, the script wasn't supposed to go like this!

He remembered very clearly that this bottle of [Sea of Sunlight] was an exquisite red wine produced by Château Lafite in 1977. Due to crop cultivation issues that year, fewer than 50,000 bottles were produced in total!

And because the grapes that year reached their peak flavor, the taste was absolutely acclaimed, top-notch.

After so many years, it truly had become a rare existence where every bottle consumed was one less in the world.

It was far more expensive than any clichéd "'82 Lafite," and it was a true aristocrat among wines.

According to the membership level, he wasn't qualified to order it!

Why did the waiter agree?

This damn thing costs 800,000 a bottle, okay!!!

My monthly allowance is only two or three hundred thousand; where would I get the money to buy this wine?

"Wait a moment." He couldn't help but call the waiter back and said hesitantly, "Do... do you have this wine here? Can I... can I order it? I mean, membership, um..."

The waiter didn't understand what he meant and said suspiciously:

"Of course you can order it. Just the fact that you can sit in this position means you can definitely order it; you don't need to worry about that."

"Normally, this bottle of wine requires a reservation, but for you, it's completely unnecessary!"

Chen Shaoyang was stunned.

He suddenly felt numb all over.

He quickly stood up, pulled the waiter aside, and whispered, "Although I can sit by the window, I feel like this... um, is also a misunderstanding. My real membership is the lowest level. Are you sure I can order this bottle of wine?"

The waiter was slightly taken aback, but finally understood what was going on.

He took a deep look at Zhuang Yaoyao.

Then he bowed slightly and said, "Please rest assured, the two of you. All expenses today will be covered by that gentleman. This includes the bottle of [Sea of Sunlight], which is also equivalent to a gift from him to Ms. Zhuang Yaoyao."

After the waiter left, Chen Shaoyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon he felt something was wrong.

If sitting here earlier could be explained by being recognized, then this bottle of wine didn't make sense! This was an 800,000-dollar red wine, given away so casually. Could it be...

Is there really such a mysterious man?

It's not me?

"Young Master Chen, you're truly amazing!" Zhuang Yaoyao was already extremely excited at this moment.

She had just glanced at the price and tentatively ordered it, not expecting Chen Shaoyang to actually agree. In fact, the wine her little friend had ordered wasn't Sea of Sunlight, but just a 100,000-dollar red wine.

But this bottle of wine cost a full 800,000! And it was something only the highest-level members could enjoy!

Tonight, I must pull out all the stops; I'm determined to make this Chen Shaoyang unable to get out of bed.

Oh! I understand now!

Chen Shaoyang suddenly became excited; he had completely figured it out!

His guess had been right all along; his identity must have been recognized. And that gentleman must be trying to curry favor with him. Constantly giving gifts was just to get his father to help handle matters in his business.

Heh, I never thought my old man, who makes agricultural machinery, would actually have such influence?

People are fighting to pay the bill just for eating out?

This is social status!

"Have they all arrived?"

Zheng Qian looked at the time and said to Wei Rusi.

The latter shook her phone with a smile, "They're taking the elevator now. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really don't know what Ms. Zhuang Yaoyao will think when she finds out everything was actually arranged in the name of Lin Shuoyang."

It wasn't just Wei Rusi; the few people sitting there were all very expectant.

Just at this moment, the restaurant lights suddenly dimmed.

A beam of exquisite light lit up.
