The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3977: Chapter 3977: Attitude (Eighth Update)

Qin Hongyue had been in business for many years and naturally understood how to read people. She noticed Xi Xunlu’s emotions at a glance and couldn’t help but frown slightly!

She hadn’t expected that Xi Xunlu, the son of the Guanghan Palace Master and a member of the royal family, would have such little tolerance?

Though she felt quite disdainful of him in her heart, for the sake of completing the transaction, she still sat down at the table, smiled at Xi Xunlu, and said, ”Prince Xunlu, long time no see. Previously, when you invited me to drink and chat, I was caught up with business and couldn’t make it. Now, I finally have some free time.”

As she spoke, Qin Hongyue glanced at Ye Chen and continued, ”Your Highness, this is Ye Chen, Young Master Ye, a... friend of mine who has come with me to Red Sea on business. We are here because we have something to discuss with you.”

”Something to discuss?” Xi Xunlu’s gaze gradually calmed as he heard this, and he smiled faintly, ”I see. Well, both of you, please have a seat.”

After saying that, he sat back in his seat first, but his gaze turned cold. How could he not know that Qin Hongyue’s so-called dinner invitation was just for the sake of doing business?

Although Qin Hongyue hadn’t mentioned anything about having a private meeting with him in her letter, Xi Xunlu was naturally unhappy, especially after seeing Ye Chen!

Qin Hongyue let out a small sigh of relief. Although Xi Xunlu was displeased, he hadn’t done anything too out of line, and this outcome was still acceptable.

She naturally knew Xi Xunlu had feelings for her, and it was this point she was leveraging to meet him so easily. For a businesswoman, beauty is one of the assets.

However, after the many things that happened with Ye Chen, Qin Hongyue subconsciously rejected doing such things and didn’t deliberately distance herself from Ye Chen before going upstairs.

Just as Qin Hongyue was about to sit down, her pupils shrank slightly, and she paused for a moment, unable to move.

Xi Xunlu glanced at her and said, ”Why not sit? Miss Qin, do you find this meal unappetizing?”

Qin Hongyue awkwardly smiled and said, ”Your Highness, it seems there’s only one chair here...”

If she sat down, what about Ye Chen?

Would she let Ye Chen stand beside them like a servant, watching them eat?

Forget about Ye Chen; Qin Hongyue herself wouldn’t accept this!

She didn’t mind standing and letting Ye Chen sit, but doing so would clearly infuriate Xi Xunlu...

After all, Xi Xunlu came this time to have a meal with her.

Xi Xunlu said indifferently, ”I thought only Miss Qin would come, so I didn’t prepare extra chairs. Who knew you would bring a man to dine with me?”

Qin Hongyue knew Xi Xunlu’s narrow-mindedness, and now, he was likely to embarrass Ye Chen. Under normal business conduct, she wouldn’t provoke Xi Xunlu in times like this, but hearing Xi Xunlu’s sarcastic words stirred an inexplicable anger within Qin Hongyue. She frowned and said, ”Your Highness, can you call for another chair?”

Her voice was somewhat cold as well.

Xi Xunlu put down his chopsticks upon hearing this, cast a gloomy look at Qin Hongyue, while she stared back unyieldingly.

Suddenly, a mocking smile lifted the corner of Xi Xunlu’s mouth as he said, ”Why go through so much trouble?”

After saying this, he waved his hand and tossed the dish on the side to the ground.

Qin Hongyue clenched her fists tightly and said, ”Your Highness, what do you mean by this?”

Xi Xunlu pointed at the Chenyue Golden Wolf on the ground that was eating meat and said, ”You brought a guest, and I brought a guest. You and I will sit at one table, and the guests will sit at another. Is there a problem with that?”

The always composed Qin Hongyue suddenly burned with anger in her beautiful eyes. Xi Xunlu was directly equating Ye Chen to a dog!

He considered him of the same status as that Chenyue Golden Wolf!

He actually wanted Ye Chen to crouch on the ground and dine with the Chenyue Golden Wolf!

”You!”

Qin Hongyue shouted in a low voice, as an aura capable of exploding at any moment emanated from her.

However, Xi Xunlu didn’t mind at all and raised a cup of wine, interrupting, ”Qin Hongyue, aren’t you and your friend here to discuss something with me?”

Qin Hongyue’s heart skipped a beat. She knew if she offended Xi Xunlu, given his personality, no matter how beneficial the matter was, it might not get done...

But despite that, she couldn’t bear it anymore!

She could tolerate such treatment towards herself, but not towards Ye Chen!

Just as Qin Hongyue was about to erupt, a hand gently pressed on her shoulder.

Looking at the composed face of the man beside her, Qin Hongyue’s mind somehow calmed instantly.

Ye Chen said lightly, ”Your Highness, we have no grudges, why go this far?”

Xi Xunlu looked at Ye Chen with disdain and said, ”No grudges? Would you care if an ant had a grudge against you when you stepped on it? Kid, I don’t care who you are, if you eat this plate like a dog today, we can continue talking, if not?

Haha, I, Xi Xunlu, guarantee you won’t get anything done in my Red Sea!”

Qin Hongyue’s face was tense, among the Five Great Inner Seas, only in Red Sea did the Beihan Commerce have some business and relations, allowing them to contact Xi Xunlu through him to find the Guanghan Palace Master. In the other Inner Seas, even meeting the Guanghan Palace Master was extremely difficult...

Ye Chen also noticed this tension, understanding from Xuan Han Yu’s calculations that there wasn’t much time left before the Hua Yue Competition. This transaction couldn’t be delayed any longer...

Seeing their expressions, Xi Xunlu laughed raucously, becoming even more arrogant, and said, ”Are you eating or not? My time isn’t limitless; I’ll give you until the count of three breaths to decide, or else I’ll go back to accompany my beauties!”

Qin Hongyue’s expression darkened, ”Ye Chen, let’s go, I’ll come up with another way!”

She couldn’t allow Ye Chen to be humiliated!

Ye Chen, however, remained calm, saying, ”No need, I will handle this matter.”

Xi Xunlu laughed out loud, ”Handle it? How will you handle it? Kid, who do you think you are? Here in Red Sea, I, Xi Xunlu, am the one who calls the shots! To handle it, eat the dish on the ground!”

Ye Chen glanced at the dish on the ground and the next moment, he truly bent down slowly and reached out towards the dish!

Qin Hongyue’s expression changed slightly. Could it be Ye Chen would really eat the dish?

Xi Xunlu’s smile grew even more mocking. Kid, dare to compete with me for a woman? Today, you’ll learn a lesson!

Soon, Ye Chen held the dish in his hand. Just when Xi Xunlu thought Ye Chen was going to admit defeat and eat the dish, an unexpected change occurred!

Ye Chen, holding the dish, casually waved his hand, and a flash of silver light swiftly shot towards Xi Xunlu!
