Chapter 68: Like a Mute Eating Coptis, Suffering in Silence? No Need to Pay Extra! Red Ocean?
Chen Qingling frowned when she saw someone standing up for Dai Mubai. "You are…"
"I'm his teacher, Zhao Wuji, a teacher from Shrek Academy!" Zhao Wuji crossed his arms.
Chen Qingling understood. This was about to be a defense for his student! Shrek Academy? Shrek… Shrek… Sh…
What a terrible name!
Chen Qingling's first impression wasn't good.
She sized up the burly Zhao Wuji. "Are you here to stand up for your student?"
Zhao Wuji glanced at the miserable Dai Mubai behind him. "I apologize on his behalf for the mess he made."
"It's just that you've beaten my student into this state, I'm afraid…"
"Deserved it!" Zhu Zhuqing spoke coldly. Anyone with eyes could see that Zhao Wuji was asking for compensation!
Compensation? Absolutely not. Not in this lifetime.
It was clearly Dai Mubai who was in the wrong to begin with. Why should they pay compensation?
"Uh…" Zhao Wuji was momentarily speechless, and looked at Dai Mubai, "Mubai, why don't you say how you want to resolve this?"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, glaring at Chen Qingling as if she was written down in a little notebook.
"Teacher Zhao, let's just forget about it. Let's go back."
Dai Mubai knew he wasn't in the right, and didn't want to stay here and lose face any longer.
Zhao Wuji was silent for a moment. To be honest, he really wanted to get justice, but the matter was far more complex than he had imagined.
Since Dai Mubai and his fiancée were involved, Zhao Wuji found it difficult to intervene.
"Alright."
Immediately, Zhao Wuji lifted Dai Mubai by his collar with one hand and strode out of the Rose Hotel.
Watching the two leave, Zhu Zhuqing walked over to Chen Qingling, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Thank you, Qingling."
"Without you today, I... I might have been in serious trouble."
Chen Qingling scratched the back of her head, squinting with a smile, "It was nothing."
"Mainly, that guy was going too far! He was doing something despicable behind your back!"
"You're starting young, aren't you? What will you be like when you grow up!"
Seeing Dai Mubai's shameless behavior, Chen Qingling couldn't help but think of herself at seven years old. She was still playing with kites made of tree bark in a thatched hut!
"Qingling… let's part ways here. I don't want to trouble you any further." Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head.
"Let's not talk about that first." Chen Qingling turned to Manager Wang. "Is the money I gave enough? Is it enough to cover the losses to the shop?"
"It's not enough, I can add more."
Manager Wang belatedly realized, and nodded repeatedly, "Uh… Ma'am… it's enough, completely enough, no need to add any more."
"I… how should I address you?"
"Uh… just call me Ms. Chen." This was the first time Chen Qingling had been addressed so politely.
Indeed, with money, you're the boss, and people will serve you well.
"Ms. Chen, are you here to rent a room? We happen to have one left at our hotel."
Manager Wang glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside Chen Qingling. "Take a look… are you able to accept it?"
"Of course!"
Chen Qingling nodded without hesitation. After this incident, she understood Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing had a cold personality, but after spending time with her, one could see that she treated people kindly.
Most importantly, Zhu Zhuqing, like Qingling herself, was a person with a difficult fate.
Bound by a marriage contract, she lacked freedom.
Furthermore, she had been betrayed by her fiancé.
This isn't a tough life?
At the same time, Chen Qingling wanted a challenge! She felt that as long as she treated Zhu Zhuqing sincerely, she could definitely thaw her frozen heart.
Become her third close friend!
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked up at Chen Qingling, "Qingling..."
"You don't need to say anything, Zhuqing. Just listen to me."
"How much is a room?" Chen Qingling asked Manager Wang.
Manager Wang grinned, rarely resorting to extortion this time, showing a bit of conscience.
"Miss Chen, you don't need to pay. Consider it covered by the bag of Gold Soul Coins you gave me. This is the key to the Red Ocean room, on the top floor of the hotel."
"Alright then."
Chen Qingling didn't refuse. She took the key Manager Wang offered, and then proactively took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, heading towards the Red Ocean room.
The Rose Hotel's decor was immediately appealing. The color scheme was simple and comfortable, and the faint fragrance of roses permeating the air was soothing.
However, as they walked along, Chen Qingling and Zhu Zhuqing saw several strangely named rooms.
They were called Blue Enchantress, Pink Tenderness, Yellow Sincerity, White Innocence, Green Parting, and so on. The Red Ocean room was at the very end.
Chen Qingling didn't understand, but she was deeply impressed.
As expected of the Rose Hotel's top floor. The scale is enormous.
The two women arrived at the Red Ocean room.
The door's color matched its name. The crimson door was decorated with beautiful dark red crystal roses.
Above, a line of small vertical text read: Red Ocean, Ocean of Love.
Even though Chen Qingling was inexperienced, she felt a bit strange at this moment and turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing.
She found Zhu Zhuqing was also looking at her, awkwardly touching her head and smiling helplessly.
"The hotel we found seems to be a place for couples to date."
No wonder Dai Mubai would come here with two women; it turned out to be a special place! At this moment, Chen Qingling understood completely.
A rare blush appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face, "Then…then…we…"
"Oh, who cares what kind of hotel it is? As long as we can stay, what more can we ask for!"
Chen Qingling didn't care at all. She didn't care what the hotel's implication was, nor did she want to care about the purpose of their room.
Just wanted to find a place to stay!
No one could stop her from sticking to her daily routine!
Especially after meeting Zhu Zhuqing, who was a few years younger but developed far beyond the average person.
This made Chen Qingling feel extremely depressed.
She had originally been feeling quite pleased with herself, but now, seeing Zhu Zhuqing, she was immediately brought down to earth.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, "That's true!"
Then, Chen Qingling inserted the key and pushed the door open.
The room was large; the living room alone was over fifty square meters.
Inside the hall, all the furniture was silver.
In the center of the hall, a huge red heart was constructed from a large pile of roses.
The heart covered an area of nearly two square meters, requiring at least a thousand roses to complete.
A delicate ribbon hung above it, upon which was written:
"One thousand and one, you are my only one."
Besides the thousand and one roses, elegant vases filled with fiery red roses were placed throughout the room.
The rich fragrance of roses permeated every corner of the room, immediately hitting her senses.
Chen Qingling's eyes brightened. She spread her arms, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes in enjoyment.
"So fragrant!"
"I really like this Red Ocean room!"
"Zhuqing, what do you think?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked around, finally catching her breath. "Yeah, I like it too."
"The scent of roses is so calming."
Such a large room was more than enough for two people.
