Chapter 519: Chapter 518: Hosting a Dinner Feast_1
He closed the room door straight away, cutting off the view from outside.
By the time Qin Yi returned, the sky had completely darken.
Su Pan’er was sleeping soundly, and he didn’t have the heart to wake her. He gently lay down next to her, holding her in his arms.
But as soon as he moved, she woke up.
"Where did you go?" she asked.
"I went to the room at the end of the ship. I met a very elegant and grand nobleman there, we talked for a bit, I said you were feeling unwell and hurried back."
Qin Yi asked with concern; "What happened, was there any trouble?"
He knew Pan’er well. If she was upset like this, it was likely that someone had annoyed her.
Could it have been Little Feng again?
He couldn’t understand why, Pan’er was patient with everyone else, but she always butted heads with Little Feng.
"Nothing happened, I just felt tired. I wanted to sleep for a bit."
Su Pan’er said, squinting her eyes.
Qin Yi, seeing that she didn’t want to explain, decided not to ask further: "Oh, if you’re tired, you should rest."
"Hmm, you should also sleep early."
Yawning, Su Pan’er snuggled closer to him, then closed her eyes and peacefully fell asleep again.
Shortly after, the nobleman that Qin Yi had mentioned earlier sent a message inviting the two of them.
By the time they arrived, there were several people there whom Su Pan’er did not recognize.
This was the first time Su Pan’er had seen the nobleman mentioned by Qin Yi. However, the man gave her a strange feeling of familiarity.
Upon closer inspection, she was sure she had never met him before.
The nobleman was leaning against his chair, continuously coughing into his hand, looking as though he was suffering greatly.
After a good while, the nobleman finally managed to stop his coughing. He apologized with a smile, "I apologize for my manners. If there were any shortcomings in hosting, I hope you both understand."
Qin Yi gave a hearty laugh and stepped forward to give a salute.
"My lord, you’re too kind! We haven’t done anything and yet we have received such hospitality from Young Master Zhao. We are unworthy of such treatment!"
"Qin Yi, you’re too modest."
Young Master Zhao replied with an easygoing expression, "Actually, the reason those people boarded the ship was to take my life. I didn’t expect it to cause so many innocent lives to be lost. It is a sin! After we return to Shengjing, I will personally pay a visit to Huangjue Temple and conduct a service for the innocent victims. I hope they have a safe journey and arrive in the Western Pure Land soon."
"It’s very kind of Young Master Zhao."
Qin Yi saluted again with a smile.
Su Pan’er was silently observing from behind Qin Yi.
This nobleman’s surname is Zhao? At present, Zhao is an influential surname, making him undeniably privileged!
Upon closer inspection, she noted his grandeur, elegance and the overwhelming nobility about him. He was dressed in a snow-spinning golden silkworm long robe, and on his head rested a purple golden crown. Around his waist hung a jade pendant as transparent as a green crystal. The long tassels of the pendant hung down like a small waterfall.
His appearance, with one glance, reminded her of a spring breeze, unconsciously winning her favour.
Throughout her two lifetimes, Su Pan’er had seen numerous men of all sorts, be it the models on her past world’s catwalk or the various men she had met after coming here. The gentle and generous Qin Yi, the straightforward yet flirtatious Lui Muyi, the handsome Jun Ruochen, and the coldly domineering Ye Han...
Yet, she had never met a man as warm as the spring sun!
Merely seated there, it seemed as if heaven had especially favoured him; Su Pan’er found herself unable to find a single flaw in him!
Even to describe him as flawless seemed an understatement.
"Pan’er?"
As Su Pan’er was lost in her thoughts, the dishes and wine were already on the table. Seeing that she was still standing in the same spot, Qin Yi gently reminded her.
"Oh, I was just deep in thought. My apologies."
Su Pan’er gave a slight curtsey, as a form of apology for her discourtesy.
Young Master Zhao’s eyes flashed a warm smile, "Mrs. Qin, you don’t have to be so formal. Please, have a seat."
"Thank you, Young Master Zhao."
Su Pan’er thanked him, calmly sitting a half-step behind Qin Yi.
The various desserts and dishes on the table were all delicately made but in small quantities, enough only for a bite or two each.
This provoked Pan’er, who, since becoming pregnant, had turned into a foodie. Her stomach continually grumbled. Looking at Young Master Zhao, who was still chatting leisurely with Qin Yi, she lowered her eyes.
It was only then that she noticed another small table set up across from them, seemingly awaiting another guest.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before a fragrant breeze wafted in.
"Young Master Zhao invited me, a married woman, to his banquet. I’m truly honoured! I’ve also brought a little gift to express my gratitude, I hope you won’t decline it."
Saying these words, Mrs. Zhang entered from outside and stopped ten steps away from Young Master Zhao, giving him a formal salute.
Young Master Zhao smiled kindly, reaching out his hand to help Mrs. Zhang up: "Mrs. Zhang, you’re too courteous. I’ll gladly accept your gift. When I get the chance, I will personally visit your household and share a drink with Lord Zhang!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang’s eyes gleamed and she quickly saluted once again.
"In that case, my husband and I will eagerly await your visit to our residence!"
Su Pan’er squinted her eyes, it seemed Mrs. Zhang’s husband indeed had some power.
However, this so-called Young Master Zhao seemed to have even greater power. Mrs. Zhang, who always carried herself with airs, unintentionally radiated an aura of restraint whenever she was around Young Master Zhao, complimenting him at every opportunity she got.
From this, it can be inferred that this so-called Young Master Zhao is not ordinary!
Now that everyone was present, they began to quietly dine.
People here believed in the adage "Do not speak at meal times, and do not talk in bed".
The meal was incredibly quiet, to the point that even the faintest sounds of breathing could be heard.
Even the maidservants moving around regarding the plates caused no sound, the room was tranquil.
Su Pan’er had a great appetite that day, and moreover, the dishes all tasted wonderful. She pretty much tasted every single dish on the table.
She had had a feast!
When the maidservants brought the tea after dinner, Su Pan’er and the others rinsed their mouths, before moving to another corner to chat leisurely.
Only then did Su Pan’er notice, the ship cabin this Zhao surnamed gentleman was residing in was significantly larger than the one they were staying in. Almost everything needed was available here.
Tea was served; the men chatted about various topics. Young Master Zhao was a great conversation starter, continuously leading and maintaining the atmosphere of the gathering. Qin Yi also joined the discussion from time to time, resulting in a warm exchange between hosts and guests.
It was not until late into the night, that Young Master Zhao’s face showed signs of fatigue, only then did Qin Yi regretfully take his leave with Su Pan’er.
Mrs. Zhang also took her leave and left with them.
When they were close to their temporary room, Mrs. Zhang stopped her.
"Mrs. Qin, please hold on!"
Calling me?
Su Pan’er raised her brows slightly, but still stopped and turned around: "Is there anything you need, Mrs. Zhang?"
