Chapter 370: Chapter 371 Do You Have a Girlfriend?

Two hours later, they had drafted an initial plan and left the company, making their way to the hotel by car.

It was then that He Jinxia finally got a chance to properly enjoy the scenic beauty of Country M.

Upon arriving at the hotel and getting to her room, Sheng Yan called: "Where are you?"

He Jinxia mentioned the name of the hotel.

Sheng Yan frowned and asked for her address, then inquired, "Have you had dinner?"

He Jinxia: "No, I’m currently trying to figure out the local food delivery system here; I’m thinking of ordering a delivery. The pizza and burgers listed look quite tempting."

Sheng Yan chuckled, "You can eat McDonald’s and KFC back in Huaxia, and yet here you are in Country M, still wanting to eat that?"

He Jinxia actually didn’t want to eat that stuff, but it was already evening, and even though the city lights were beginning to shine, dazzling and opulent, they didn’t dare to leave the hotel cavalierly.

In Country M, it’s legal to carry guns, and coming from a country without guns, everyone was more or less on edge psychologically.

He Jinxia did want to explore the nightly sights of Country M; it had been a while since she had strolled around like an ordinary person. She wasn’t well-known in Country M, so the likelihood of being recognized was slim. Maybe she should wait until daytime to go sightseeing?

As she pondered, Sheng Yan’s voice came through the phone: "Don’t order delivery. I’m on my way there, and I’ll take you out for something delicious soon."

He Jinxia: "Be careful, okay? People here can carry guns; maybe you shouldn’t come."

Sheng Yan said in a low voice, "Not afraid."

The man’s voice was clear and languid, carrying a lazy charm that instantly breached He Jinxia’s defenses, making her heart warm up.

From the phone, she could hear someone speaking a foreign language in the background, creating quite the noise. Just as she was about to say something, Sheng Yan beat her to it: "Got something to do, let’s not chat now. Wait for me at the hotel, okay?"

After hanging up, He Jinxia looked up at Cheng Xiaohua, who was pacing in front of her, frowning at the phone’s food delivery app.

"Don’t they sell noodles here? How do you say noodles again, noo... noo... nu du si??"

Luo You couldn’t help rolling his eyes and corrected her pronunciation of noodles, even spelling it out for her kindly: "n-o-o-d-l-e-s, you’re welcome."

Cheng Xiaohua: "..." Witnessing the might of a top student for the first time!!

Luo You slightly tilted his head, "Don’t look at me like that; I’m not some kind of academic whiz. I learned foreign languages on my own after starting work, just waiting for the day to come when I could use them while taking my artists abroad."

Cheng Xiaohua: "Er... Your dream is so grand."

Luo You: "It’s not grand; it’s already come true, hasn’t it?"

He turned to look at He Jinxia, who was sitting on the bed. She had just thrown her phone aside, looked up at them, and cheered, "No need to order delivery, Sheng Yan said he’s taking us out to eat!"

Cheng Xiaohua’s eyes lit up, "Wow, great, I want a feast!"

Luo You frowned, "Is that a good idea?"

He Jinxia shook her head, swept her hand grandly, and declared: "He knows Country M better than we do; since we just arrived today, why not take advantage of his offer?"

Cheng Xiaohua clapped in agreement, "That’s the spirit!"

Luo You turned and glared at Cheng Xiaohua, "Shouldn’t you hurry up and get ready? Do you expect the big shot to wait for you?"

Cheng Xiaohua stuck her tongue out at Luo You and immediately went to get ready.

When He Jinxia went to the restroom, Luo You couldn’t resist pulling Cheng Xiaohua aside and asking quietly, "Don’t you think Sheng Yan is being too nice to Jinxia?"

Cheng Xiaohua blinked and played dumb, "No way, I think it’s quite normal."

Luo You twisted his brow, "You really don’t think so?"

Cheng Xiaohua quickly shook her head and patted his shoulder earnestly, "Don’t worry, they’re relatives, their parents know each other well, the relationship is good. Being in a foreign land, it’s only right for Emperor Sheng to take extra care of Jinxia."

"Ease up, don’t overthink it. Overthinking makes your hair go white faster. I’m off to get ready!" Cheng Xiaohua broke away from Luo You and walked to the other side, heaving a sigh of relief internally.

Luo You stood there, pondering, and felt that what Cheng Xiaohua said made sense, they were relatives after all...

But why is there a strange feeling?

On the other side, inside a stretched Lincoln car, Sheng Yan sat as he listened to his personal assistant Assistant Lin’s report.

Assistant Lin had always been working for Sheng Yan, even longer than Zhang Ming had, but he was only in charge of financial matters and had never come into contact with Zhang Ming.

Since Zhang Ming was on marriage leave and couldn’t follow, Sheng Yan had called Assistant Lin to be of use.

Luckily, the affairs in the entertainment circle weren’t numerous and were quite simple, so Assistant Lin handled them with ease.

"Shall I book Muse Restaurant for you, for two?" Assistant Lin asked.

Sheng Yan thought for a moment, his slender fingers gently tapping his thigh, and calmly said, "Just book a private room, one with good privacy and a window that has a view."

"OK!" Assistant Lin didn’t waste any words and immediately phoned to make the reservation.

Both Huaxia people, both assistants to Sheng Yan, Zhang Ming and Assistant Lin were completely different in style, one lively and the other solemn, with the most apparent difference being Zhang Ming liked to talk while Assistant Lin was not much of a talker.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the car was peaceful, so quiet it felt like you could hear breathing sounds.

The car moved along leisurely, the occasional honking sounding even more silent within the car.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Sheng Yan asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Assistant Lin was taken aback, then answered, "No."

After a pause, he added, "But I do know which places are popular with couples for travel, and I’m aware of activities that are essential for dates."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yan looked up at Assistant Lin, seemingly verifying the truthfulness of his words.

After a while, he slightly lifted his chin, his posture haughty as he said, "Let’s hear it."

Several minutes later, Sheng Yan arrived at the hotel where He Jinxia was.

He stood at the entrance, looking at the hotel whose outer walls had almost turned white, the feelings in his heart matching the expression on his face, which was full of refusal.

But soon, upon seeing the figure that ran out from inside, a rare smile appeared on his stern face.

Assistant Lin stood by Sheng Yan’s side and observed the entire change of his expression.

Following Sheng Yan’s gaze, Assistant Lin saw He Jinxia and a thoughtful expression crossed his eyes.

He Jinxia stopped in front of Sheng Yan, intending to hold his arm, but halfway through, she abruptly changed direction, opting instead to brush her hair away from her face.

Almost forgetting there were other people around, must keep it down, keep it low-key... He Jinxia glanced at Sheng Yan and sighed quietly in her heart without saying a word.

Sheng Yan gave her a look but didn’t speak either, instead taking out a delicate little box from his pocket and handing it to her.

He Jinxia took the box, opened it, and was instantly taken aback – it was a silver necklace.

The necklace wasn’t lavish; only a tiny pink diamond was set in the middle, the rest was crafted shapes, very intricate.

"Welcome to M country," Sheng Yan’s voice softly came through.

He Jinxia’s lips couldn’t help but curl up; she immediately wore the necklace around her neck, though the small clasp at the back was difficult to fasten, and after much effort, she still couldn’t manage it.

Sheng Yan had intended to bend down and fasten it for her, but just then, Cheng Xiaohua ran over and, upon reaching He Jinxia’s side, casually helped her with the clasp.

So Sheng Yan then said, "It’s custom-made, not from any brand, suits you very well, and you don’t have to take it off."

He Jinxia softly hummed in acknowledgment.

"Hey, wait for me!" Luo You arrived belatedly from behind, running up to them and bending over to catch his breath without regard for appearances: "Where are we headed to?"

Assistant Lin took a step back, pointing behind him: "Please follow me."
