Chapter 260 - Chapter 260 Chapter 249 Victoria Harbour Night View

Chapter 260: Chapter 249: Victoria Harbour Night View Chapter 260: Chapter 249: Victoria Harbour Night View Feng Qing Lei looked at Nie Zhan, who seemed as dopey as a lovesick fool, and shook his head before saying to the waitress beside him, “My brother here is totally smitten with Miss Lu.”

The waitress was both envious and jealous, and her words couldn’t help but come with a sour tone, “When you’re in love, everything’s sweet, but once the passion fades and things settle down, they’ll definitely break up.”

Feng Qing Lei glanced at the waitress and said, “Break up? My brother is on his way to get married. Besides, Miss Lu is smart and beautiful, capable too, and they’re well-matched.”

The waitress was utterly shocked, and when she looked at Lu Jiaxin again, there was no jealousy, only envy. After all, to make a wealthy young man want to marry you, it takes more than just being pretty.

Blue lobster, white truffle sashimi, red wine braised beef, and caviar sushi, the four dishes served were all delicious, and Lu Jiaxin enjoyed her meal immensely.

Nie Zhan saw her rubbing her stomach and said with a smile, “Let’s go for a walk by the sea.”

Lu Jiaxin had the same idea; she’d been in Hong Kong for so long, always busy with her studies and had never gone out at night before, “Shall we go to Victoria Harbour to see the night view?”

Nie Zhan naturally had no objections.

The night view of Victoria Harbour was world-famous, and being there, one could truly appreciate it. The colorful neon lights dressed the skyscrapers of Hong Kong in their most flamboyant attire, the lights adorning every corner of Hong Kong, making it shimmer and glimmer; the flashing neon could dazzle one’s eyes and set the imagination soaring.

Seeing that she was tired from walking, Nie Zhan found a place to sit, “Actually, the best place to view the night scene of Victoria Harbour is from the lookout on Victoria Mountain. If you’re free tomorrow, I’ll take you there.”

Having finished her exams, Lu Jiaxin wanted to relax a bit, “I’m fine, I’m just worried you might not have the time.”

Nie Zhan indicated that he wasn’t busy recently, “When are you heading back to the Mainland? I’ll see you off when it’s time.”

Lu Jiaxin waved her hand and said, “No need, Brother Feng and Xiaoxiao will be with me when I go, and once I get there, Su Heming will come to meet me. The Mainland is much safer than Hong Kong. In the Forty-nine City, I never worry when I go out at night, unlike here, where being followed in broad daylight is just frightening.”

Although Peng City and Yangcheng City were messier, in the Forty-nine City, as long as you didn’t go to remote places, going out after dark was generally safe.

Nie Zhan’s expression changed, “You were followed?”

Lu Jiaxin nodded and gave a brief explanation, “Brother Feng checked later, and it was that street thug Ahao who was following us. Luckily, we left in time, otherwise if they had stopped us, who knows what they might have done?”

Nie Zhan felt a sense of fear after the fact, “Why didn’t you tell me about such a serious matter? With this kind of thug, if you offend him, and you don’t have anyone to back you up, he’ll latch onto you and not let go.”

Lu Jiaxin felt quite innocent, “Brother Feng noticed and shook him off. After Brother Feng found out who it was, I had someone beat him up.”

She didn’t even look for someone extra; she simply asked Cui Meili for help. After paying twenty thousand yuan, that street thug ended up with broken legs and is still lying in bed, recovering.

Nie Zhan looked at her and said, “Jiaxin, it’s been a long time, and you should understand my feelings. I fancy you and want you to be my girlfriend.”

Uh, she had simply mentioned being followed, and now he was confessing.

Lu Jiaxin didn’t reject him but only said, “That’ll depend on how you perform. If you do well in the next six months, I’ll agree.”

If he didn’t perform well, that was it, no further discussion.

Nie Zhan was both surprised and delighted; he had thought Lu Jiaxin would reject him, but he didn’t expect her to give him a chance so quickly, “I’ll definitely behave well to satisfy you.”

After sitting for nearly half an hour, Lu Jiaxin watched the beautiful scenery and talked with Nie Zhan. Tired from walking, she decided to head back and noticed it was already twelve o’clock.

Nie Zhan said, “You’ve been walking for so long, your feet will hurt when you get up tomorrow. You should go to the hotel and get a SPA treatment, it will not only relieve the fatigue, but your feet also won’t hurt tomorrow.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t want to go for a SPA treatment and said, “Are there any female therapists? If so, just have a female therapist come over and give me a massage.”

Nie Zhan took Lu Jiaxin to the Peninsula Hotel for their stay. This hotel is located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon Peninsula, surrounded by Seaport City, a large mall that combines shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Once Lu Jiaxin entered the room, she immediately went to the window, where she could see the picturesque Victoria Harbour.

The female attendant asked respectfully, “Miss Lu, do you need a bath? I’ll go run the water for you.”

Indeed tired from walking, Lu Jiaxin thought a bath would relieve her fatigue and asked, “Yes to the bath, but the bathtub needs to be sanitized again.”

In a five-star hotel like this, clothes and bathtubs are certainly already sanitized. It’s just a psychological barrier, and sanitizing again makes one feel less uncomfortable.

“Okay.”

Fifteen minutes later, the female attendant came out of the bathroom and said, “Miss Lu, the water is ready. Please check if the temperature is right. If not, I can adjust it for you.”

Lu Jiaxin went into the bathroom and found rose petals scattered in the tub, a nice touch. After checking the temperature, she nodded and said, “You can leave now. I’ll call the front desk if I need anything.”

The female attendant respectfully complied and then said, “Miss Lu, Mr. Nie has arranged for our best therapist for you. It’s usually good to soak for fifteen to twenty minutes, and our therapist will come in half an hour to massage you. Is that okay with you?”

“That’s fine.”

The female therapist came on time and because of her excellent skills, Lu Jiaxin nearly fell asleep midway. After the massage was done and the therapist left, Lu Jiaxin covered herself with the blanket and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already nine-thirty in the morning.

Lu Jiaxin yawned and walked to the window, pulling the curtains open to a full view of Victoria Harbour. It wasn’t as beautiful as at night; now the sea was just filled with boats coming and going.

After freshening up, she called the front desk to have breakfast and her clothes brought up. She had given her clothes to the female attendant for dry cleaning the day before and was now wearing pajamas.

Hearing a knock at the door, Lu Jiaxin went to open it and, to her surprise, not only was there a staff member delivering food, but also Gu Wenfeng was standing guard outside.

Lu Jiaxin let Gu Wenfeng push the dining cart in, secured the door, and then smiled and asked, “How long have you been standing outside?”

“Not too long, just half an hour.”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “In the future, when staying at a five-star hotel, there’s no need to stand at the door. Hotels like this have good security and strong privacy, no need to worry.”

“Alright.”

“Set the breakfast on the table for me, I’m going to change clothes,” Lu Jiaxin said. Talking to someone while wearing pajamas was somewhat uncomfortable and also impolite.

The breakfast was lavish, with eight plates, far too much for Lu Jiaxin to finish: “Brother Feng, have you eaten? If not, join me.”

Gu Wenfeng had finished his breakfast at six-thirty and could still eat. Now with just the two of them in the room, he sat down to join her. However, if it were outside, he wouldn’t sit at the same table with Lu Jiaxin, as it might be seen as inappropriate.
