Chapter 119 Shui Ling'er is unwilling to give up
Meanwhile, in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Shui Ling'er stood quietly by the window. Her stunning face, illuminated by the moonlight, was particularly captivating. Her gaze, clear as autumn water, yet tinged with an indescribable complex emotion, stared intently at Xing Xuanli and Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) downstairs.
Shui Ling'er's nails dug into her palms almost unconsciously, her hands trembling slightly, as if this could help her grasp the fading emotions in her heart. Her eyes revealed a deep attachment and unwillingness, an unspeakable pain.
Xing Xuanli, who was downstairs, seemed to sense someone was watching her. She raised her head slightly, and her eyes met Shui Ling'er's in mid-air. However, a vague smile played at the corner of her mouth, a smile that carried a hint of contempt and disdain, as if the other person was just an insignificant clown.
Xing Xuanli's eyes revealed a sense of confidence and pride. She gently adjusted her hair, her movements graceful and calm. The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a charming smile, as if everything was under her control.
Seeing Xing Xuanli's smile, Shui Ling'er couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and jealousy. She bit her lip and secretly vowed to make Xing Xuanli pay the price. Her eyes became sharp, and she tightly grasped a dagger in her hand, as if she was about to rush downstairs to fight Xing Xuanli in the next moment.
However, Shui Ling'er hesitated again. She knew she was no match for Xing Xuanli, and she was also aware of the possible consequences of her actions. Her heart was filled with contradictions and struggles, and in the end, she did not have the courage to rush downstairs.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She told herself that she couldn't be defeated so easily. She had to wait for the right time, a time that would allow Xing Xuanli to completely fail.
Shui Ling'er slowly turned and walked away from the window. Her eyes grew determined, her heart filled with the fire of revenge. She knew her fate was now tied to Xing Xuanli's, and only by defeating her could she achieve true freedom and happiness.
Meanwhile, on the first floor of the restaurant, Xing Xuanli and Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) also felt Shui Ling'er's gaze. They exchanged glances, both feeling a strange sensation.
Xing Xuanli shook her head gently, as if trying to shake off the feeling of being watched. She smiled and said to Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), "He's just an insignificant person. Don't worry about him."
Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) nodded, his eyes revealing a tenderness and concern. He gently held Xing Xuanli's hand and said, "No matter who it is, they can't destroy the relationship between us."
Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and Xing Xuanli, guided by the restaurant owner's enthusiastic guidance, leisurely arrived at a quiet private room. The owner's face always wore a warm smile that seemed to melt anyone's heart.
Entering the private room, a tranquil and elegant atmosphere envelopes you. Soft light filters through the windows, casting patches of light onto the floor. The room's decor is simple yet refined, and every detail reveals the owner's meticulous attention to detail.
The shopkeeper looked at Yun Mohan and Xing Xuanli, his smile growing even brighter. He bowed slightly and said, "Young Master Nangong, Madam Young Master, are you satisfied with this private room?"
Yun Mohan nodded slightly, glanced around the room, and then said, "Well, it's not bad. It's very quiet here, just right for us."
Xing Xuanli also looked around and nodded slightly in agreement. She smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "The shopkeeper's arrangement is very good. We like it very much."
The shopkeeper was secretly delighted by their praise, and his smile grew even more enthusiastic. He quickly said, "Thank you, Young Master and Madam, for your approval. As long as you are satisfied, it is our greatest honor."
Yun Mohan and Xing Xuanli sat down, and the shopkeeper hurried over to pour them a cup of hot tea. He gently placed the cup on the table in front of them and said, "This is our restaurant's signature tea. Young Master and Young Master's Wife, please enjoy it."
Yun Mohan picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea, and then took a sip. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, the tea tastes very good, with a refreshing fragrance."
Xing Xuanli also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She closed her eyes, feeling the faint tea fragrance in her throat, then opened her eyes and said with a smile, "It's really good. The shopkeeper is very good at selecting tea."
The shopkeeper smiled widely upon hearing their praise. He quickly said, "Thank you, Young Master and Madam, for your compliments. Our restaurant has always focused on quality and hopes to provide every guest with the best experience."
Yun Mohan put down his teacup, looked at the shopkeeper, and said, "Shopkeeper, the dishes here are also very good. Could you please prepare some more signature dishes today?"
The shopkeeper nodded quickly and said, "Okay, young master, I'll arrange it right away."
After a while, the shopkeeper came in with a few waiters. They placed exquisite dishes on the table. Yun Mohan and Xing Xuanli looked at the table full of dishes and their appetites were whetted.
They began to taste the dishes, each of which had a unique flavor. Yun Mohan and Xing Xuanli praised the deliciousness of the dishes as they ate.
Meanwhile, in Shui Ling'er's private room, a few doors down from Xing Xuanli and his wife, a rather unpleasant conversation was taking place. A young man in blue sat at the table, a glass of fragrant wine in his hand, swaying slightly, a look of admiration in his eyes.
His gaze penetrated the wall and seemed to be able to see the private room where Xing Xuanli and Yun Mohan were. The corners of his mouth curled up as he whispered to himself, "Young Master Nangong, you are so blessed to have such a beautiful woman by your side."
However, when Shui Ling'er heard the blue-robed young man praising Xing Xuanli so highly, she felt a surge of jealousy. She snorted coldly, a look of disdain on her face, and said coldly, "She's just a foxy woman. Nangong Han was only temporarily captivated by her."
The young man in blue frowned slightly, looked at Shui Ling'er, and said, "Miss Shui, you are wrong. Xing Xuanli is indeed a rare beauty, and the relationship between her and Young Master Nangong is not as simple as it seems." There was a hint of disapproval in his tone.
Shui Ling'er became even angrier after hearing this. She stood up abruptly, her hands on her hips, and shouted, "What do you know? She's just a scheming woman who will do anything to achieve her goals. Nangong Han will see through her true colors sooner or later."
The young man in blue shook his head and said, "Miss Shui, what you said is a bit too extreme. How can others easily judge matters of the heart?" He tried to persuade Shui Ling'er.
Shui Ling'er didn't listen and continued, "Hmph, I'm just telling the truth. I've seen many women like her. Nangong Han will suffer sooner or later if he is deceived by her." There was a hint of sinisterness in her eyes.
At this moment, a young lady from an aristocratic family suddenly appeared beside Shui Ling'er. She raised her chin slightly, looked at Shui Ling'er with a mocking smile, and said, "Miss Shui, you're acting like you're sour grapes. It's really ridiculous." She crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes full of contempt. I heard that Young Master Gu's sister said that five years ago, Young Master Nangong almost went crazy because of this young master's wife."
Shui Ling'er's expression instantly turned ugly. She bit her lip, suppressing the anger in her heart, and said, "Humph, it's just the one-sided statement of Young Master Gu's sister. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still said stubbornly, who knows whether what she said is true or not."
The young lady from the aristocratic family chuckled. Ha, that's just one side of the story. The Gu and Nangong families are old friends. Young Master Gu and Young Master Nangong grew up together as good friends. Miss Gu can be considered Young Master Nangong's sister.
Shui Ling'er's face grew increasingly gloomy. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms, yet she was completely unaware. Her heart was filled with jealousy and resentment. She was unwilling to accept that she couldn't compare to Xing Xuanli.
The young lady from the aristocratic family looked at Shui Ling'er and felt even more proud. With a smile on her face, she continued, "Young Master Nangong would do anything for his wife. Such a relationship is not something that everyone can have."
