Young Master in Flower City

10:30 AM.

Outside the fashion mall.

Xiao Tianyu was holding bags and bags of branded fashion packaging, looking upset. This was his first time shopping with a beauty for so long.

"Beauty, can we go back to the office now?" Xiao Tianyu sounded a bit impatient.

"Call me 'wife'!"

"..." Xiao Tianyu was speechless; his 'wife' seems to have gotten addicted to hearing it.

"Alright!" Xiao Tianyu sighed helplessly: "Wife, should we go back to the office now?"

"I haven't shopped enough yet. Besides, with such a big beauty accompanying you shopping, isn't that enough to show off? Look at those envious eyes from men on the side of the road. Just sit behind the door and enjoy it!"

"..." Hearing this, Xiao Tianyu felt a bit frustrated. Is this woman a bit too narcissistic? Anyway, I'm the one showing off? I'm the one carrying the bags, I'm the one holding the clothes, paying... no, I'm not the one paying, but do you have to boast like this?

Xiao Tianyu muttered inwardly, but started to say, "Show off, really show off. How about we find a cafe to sit in first?"

"Okay!" Shangguan Biyue nodded: "There's a new cafe in Celestial Capital lately, said to be a part of Tianyu International's chain. It should be good, why not go there!"

"Ah..." Xiao Tianyu opened his mouth wide.

"What 'ah'? I'm treating, alright?"

Shangguan Biyue gave Xiao Tianyu a blank look, explaining that he just didn't want to spend money, right? But thinking about it, Shangguan Biyue understood, anything gastronomic under Tianyu International is extremely expensive, which Xiao Tianyu can't afford. After all, Xiao Tianyu's annual salary is only a hundred thousand, a cup of coffee would cost three days of his salary.

"That's not the reason, I think we don't have to waste money like this. How about just choosing another cafe, okay?" Xiao Tianyu showed a I-am-saving-money-for-you expression.

"Would I lack that bit of money?" Shangguan Biyue rolled her eyes, this bastard, really... so stingy.

At this point, Xiao Tianyu could only nod; he had no choice, she indeed did not lack that bit of money.

Xingyu Cafe.

Shangguan Biyue parked the car and came to the cafe entrance, where a well-educated female server opened the door to welcome them: "Welcome!"

Then, the two walked in one after another, Shangguan Biyue glanced at the hall, which was too gorgeously decorated, even comparable to the Imperial Palace, causing Shangguan Biyue to feel a slight panic.

Yet, thinking about it, it was understandable, as a Tianyu International-affiliated establishment, how could it be ordinary?

"Are there any private rooms available?" Shangguan Biyue asked.

The female server smiled and said: "I'm sorry, the private rooms are full. Would you like me to find a window seat for you?"

"The supreme private room also has guests?" Xiao Tianyu inexplicably asked, causing the female server to display an awkward expression: "Sir, I'm sorry, the supreme private rooms do not serve guests, please understand!"

What the server said was exactly correct. Any supreme private room in the dining section under Tianyu never serves guests, for no other reason than being reserved for their mysterious president or national heads.

"Do not serve guests?" Xiao Tianyu asked again.

Instantly drawing considerable attention within the restaurant. Where did this bumpkin come from? Does he not know the rules of dining under Tianyu? Thinking he can enter the supreme private room, even Huaxia's head of state might barely have that privilege.

"Yes!" The female server apologized repeatedly.

Shangguan Biyue shot Xiao Tianyu a fierce glare, wanting to say, "Don't misunderstand, I don't know this guy, that Tianyu, stay away from me."

"Empty private rooms don't serve guests, what kind of rule is that?" Xiao Tianyu expressed discontent, then spoke to Shangguan Biyue: "They're clearly trying to block guests out, should we change to another place?"

"Haha~"

Upon hearing this, quite a few people drinking coffee around couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Clearly oblivious while pretending to be grand at Xingyu Cafe, isn't that just asking for embarrassment?"

"I agree, the rules under Tianyu International's domain, supreme private rooms are not open to the public, yet this bumpkin doesn't know, funny indeed!"

"Even if open to the public, can he afford it? How come someone so lacking in knowledge has such a pretty girlfriend?"

"..."

Voices of disdain echoed around, but Xiao Tianyu acted as if he didn't hear, although Shangguan Biyue felt embarrassed, wishing she hadn't brought him here for coffee, what a... dreadful loss of face.

Thus, Shangguan Biyue pinched Xiao Tianyu hard, whispering: "Can you keep your mouth shut for a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu feigned ignorance: "Did I say something wrong?"

Shangguan Biyue was dumbfounded, wanting to say, "Oh heavens, oh earth, please send down a lightning bolt and take this fool away."

This time, Shangguan Biyue realized that bringing Xiao Tianyu here was the biggest mistake of her life.

Thinking this, Shangguan Biyue smiled at the female server: "That's how my friend is, please don't mind!"

Having said that, Shangguan Biyue opted for a window seat, pulling Xiao Tianyu along, although reluctantly, Xiao Tianyu followed to sit down soon.

Still, many odd glances were cast at Xiao Tianyu, manifesting disdain, yet all were ignored by him like fools.

"What would you two like to drink?" the female server approached, smilingly opening, Shangguan Biyue responded with a light smile: "Coffee, two cups!"

Before Shangguan Biyue finished, Xiao Tianyu interrupted: "One cup is fine, just give me a cup of plain water!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue felt embarrassed, glaring at Xiao Tianyu: "I'm treating!"

"No matter who's treating, I'll drink plain water!" Xiao Tianyu said indifferently, he clearly doesn't drink coffee, why force something he doesn't want?

The surrounding crowd showed amused expressions again, unable to afford coffee, why come to Xingyu Cafe? Even if coming to act cool, one doesn't pull such a performance, unaware that it's quite embarrassing.

"Alright, please wait a moment!" The female server turned with a smile, but Xiao Tianyu called out: "Wait a minute..."

"Is there anything else, sir?"

"Swipe the card first!" Xiao Tianyu pulled out a gold card, which made Shangguan Biyue speechless, this fool wasn't embarrassed enough? Not ordering coffee first but paying, is he telling others he's afraid the card doesn't have enough money?

This moment, the female server also showed a curious expression, encountering something like Xiao Tianyu's situation for the first time.

But adhering to good service, the female server said: "Alright, please wait!"

Saying that, the female server took the gold card to the checkout, handing it to the cashier, not forgetting to say: "The owner of this card, quite the character, prepayment, I've seen for the first time, is he afraid of being short on funds?"

However, the hall manager next to her glanced at the gold card, frowning and snatching it, asking: "Whose card is this!"
