Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 657 - 236: The Pretty Young Beauty Falls for Me? (Part 2)

Chapter 657: Chapter 236: The Pretty Young Beauty Falls for Me? (Part 2)

Seeing the ambiguous actions between the two, the driver in front quietly gave a thumbs up.

Not long after, Han Meimei, sitting on the right, also fell asleep, her head leaning against his shoulder.

Just like that, he held two little beauties on his left and right and peacefully fell asleep.

This time, the driver’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but whisper, "Bro, you’re amazing!"

"With beauties on both sides, you’re a role model for us men!"

When getting out of the car, he even tried hard to waive Sun Dasheng’s fare, saying that it was like paying tuition fees for him.

"Wake up, we’re here." Sun Dasheng woke the two of them up.

The first to wake up was Cui Linglong, who blushed a little when she realized she was leaning in someone’s arms.

"It’s okay, you both fell asleep."

Both of you?

At this moment, Cui Linglong glanced to the other side of Sun Dasheng.

To her surprise, her best friend was also leaning against his other shoulder.

"Meimei, wake up! Look at you, you little flirt, you’re sleeping in Handsome Uncle’s arms."

Trying to ease her embarrassment, Cui Linglong nudged Han Meimei awake and started teasing her best friend.

"Huh?" Han Meimei sat up straight in a surge of reflex, blushing and repeatedly apologizing, "Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to."

Then, as if remembering something, she quickly got out of the car, walked to the other side of the door, pulled her best friend out, and quietly complained, "Cui Linglong, what nonsense are you talking about? I’m not some little flirt, it was an accident, not on purpose."

Sun Dasheng also got out after paying the fare.

The two then stopped their banter.

In unison, they said, "Handsome Uncle, sorry for causing you trouble earlier!"

After speaking, they looked at each other as if to say: Why are you copying what I said?

"Wait here, I’ll be right back." Looking at the gate of the police station, Sun Dasheng walked straight in.

"Let’s find somewhere to sit, we don’t know when he’ll come out," suggested Cui Linglong.

Han Meimei glanced around and shook her head, "Let’s just wait, we don’t have anything else to do anyway."

Cui Linglong looked at her doubtfully, "You’re not seriously falling for him, are you?"

Han Meimei’s eyes wandered, "What serious or not, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Han Meimei, be honest with me, do you really like him?" Cui Linglong suddenly shouted loudly.

She startled Han Meimei so much that her heart almost jumped out.

"What are you doing, Cui Linglong? If you keep scaring me like this, I’m really going to get mad." Han Meimei said, visibly displeased.

"No way, no way, are you seriously into him, Han Meimei?"

The more Han Meimei denied it, the more Cui Linglong was convinced that this girl really was infatuated, and quite deeply at that.

She felt a bit regretful, thinking that if she’d known, she should have tried to drag Han Meimei away earlier.

Now that she’s realized it, it seems to be too late.

She could at most play flirtatiously but was not about to develop real feelings.

They’ve only seen each other a few times, right?

Both sides barely know each other, yet they talk about love and romance. Isn’t that just sheer craziness?

To her, Han Meimei seems to be lovesick, and not lightly at that.

"Cui Linglong, you should watch out for yourself. On the car earlier, you slept in his arms too, and now you’re waking up and accusing me?"

Han Meimei’s words were quite astonishing.

Cui Linglong stared at her, "You saw that?"

Before Han Meimei could answer, she added, "So, you were pretending to sleep all the way?"

Armed with this new evidence, Cui Linglong didn’t give the other a chance, "Wow, Han Meimei, you’re really sly!"

Realizing she let it slip, Han Meimei fell silent.

Cui Linglong, understanding her friend was serious, immediately changed her tone, speaking earnestly, "Meimei, have you been watching too many dramas? Like some ’Domineering CEO fell in love with me’ plot?"

"He doesn’t look like any kind of CEO, at most from an average family. I could introduce you to some of my friends; they’re well-off, second-generation rich but with good character, around the same age too. Aren’t they better?"

Seeing her best friend not coming to her senses, she shook her by the shoulders, "Han Meimei, wake up! I brought you on this trip to broaden your horizons, not to act out a love-at-first-sight scene."

Han Meimei pursed her lips. She knew her best friend’s words were well-intended, but... when it comes to love, it’s just not logical.

She just liked him, so what could she do?

"Why are you like a piece of wood, not listening to anything I say?"

"Han Meimei, you’ve changed. You’ve got a lover now, and you don’t recognize your friends anymore?"

Cui Linglong spoke somewhat recklessly.

"What are you two talking about?" came a voice saving Han Meimei from further scolding.

She excitedly took a couple of steps, "Handsome Uncle, you’re done already?"

Sun Dasheng walked over, hands in pockets, "Mainly thanks to the efficiency of the police officers. The case has already been solved; I was just there to sign a document."

"So what exactly happened?" Han Meimei curiously asked.

Cui Linglong was also drawn to the topic, temporarily letting Han Meimei off the hook.

"Yeah, we’re really curious."

Sun Dasheng smiled and said nothing, walking past the two of them. As they looked baffled, he turned his head: "Do you really want to hear about it here?"

Only then did the two of them belatedly follow along.

"I know a teahouse on the next street that’s quite quiet. We can go sit there," Cui Linglong volunteered.

"How do you know that?" Han Meimei whispered in her ear.

"Saw it just now when I was in the taxi," Cui Linglong said without thinking.

"Oh... so you were actually awake halfway and just pretending to be asleep?" Han Meimei immediately spotted the flaw.

Cui Linglong belatedly realized it and, gritting her teeth, said, "Are you trying to trap me?"

Han Meimei flicked her pigtails: "Hmph! We’re all alike. Don’t you dare use this against me in the future."

"I..." Cui Linglong realized that no matter how she explained, the other person probably wouldn’t believe her. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Alright.

She admitted she was just playing with ambiguity.

It wasn’t anything like love or romance at all.

Teahouse.

It was indeed very quiet.

Seeing the prices on the menu.

They understood the reason for the tranquility.

Too expensive!

"Linglong, let’s find somewhere else, things here are so expensive, a cup of tea and some snacks for 1888, isn’t this daylight robbery?"

Han Meimei quietly said in Cui Linglong’s ear.

Cui Linglong soothingly whispered back, "Don’t worry, I won’t let your beau waste his money. I’ll go pay later."

"What beau, don’t talk nonsense," Han Meimei said urgently. But when she noticed a certain someone’s figure, she immediately changed her expression, enthusiastically waving: "Handsome Uncle, over here, we’re right here."

Sun Dasheng walked over, shaking off the water on his hand.

"You guys aren’t going to the restroom, be careful not to get bloated later while drinking tea," Sun Dasheng kindly reminded.

"Ew... are you a straight guy? Is that how you talk to girls?" Cui Linglong pouted.

Then she snapped her fingers, "Waiter, we’d like to order."

"Yes! Guests, please hold on, I’ll be right up." The waiter’s voice reached the second floor before he did, and soon his figure appeared.

Standing firmly, he immediately launched into a spiel, listing their special teas and snacks in one breath.

The three listened, dumbfounded.

Wow.

One word: professional!

This level of performance would outshine the young stars of the entertainment industry.

Cui Linglong ordered a 1888 set, and the waiter retreated with a smile.

Not long after, everything was served.

"Please enjoy, guests. We also have performers who sing, though that costs extra. Are you interested?"

Oh?

That’s a bit novel.

Though, in the past, that was quite common.

Teahouses were gathering places for all sorts of people, singers, storytellers, comedians, you name it.

But they had things to discuss today, so they politely declined this service.

"Then do enjoy, and if you need anything, just call for me, I’ll be over immediately."

With that, he sensibly retreated.

"It’s just like in the TV shows." Han Meimei found it quite fascinating.

Cui Linglong had seen such things before, but only in high-end private clubs.

There, as long as you had money, the performers could even be very attractive and skimpily dressed young women from professional academies.

This was her first time seeing it in such a small place.

"Handsome Uncle, what exactly happened with that case? You’re driving me crazy with curiosity, come on, tell us."

Han Meimei was the first to ask.

Cui Linglong also propped her chin up, looking full of curiosity and ready to hear a story.

"Yeah, this thing has gone viral online, with all sorts of rumors flying around. Tell us the real deal."
