After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Yu Jinchen smiled reassuringly at Xu Qingman, then stared at Xiao Mengting with dark eyes and slowly asked, "Do we know each other?"

"Uh, I...we don't know each other." Xiao Mengting didn't expect him to ask that, and didn't react for a moment.

"What did I do to you? Did I scold you, hit you, say something bad, or do something that could be misunderstood, making people think I insulted you?"

Xiao Mengting had no idea how to answer Yu Jinchen's barrage of questions and could only shake her head.

"Okay, since you don't have anything, what are you trying to do by acting like this in front of me? I was just waiting here for my girlfriend, and you inexplicably came up and bothered me. I just asked you not to block my way, right?"

After hearing these words and glancing at the car behind Yu Jinchen, some of the more level-headed people understood what was going on. It was nothing more than him taking a fancy to her, and being unwilling to give up after his attempt to seduce her failed.

Seeing the knowing looks from those around her, Xiao Mengting could barely contain her panic. She knew she was doomed today. She pushed through the crowd and ran away in a panic.

"She's too ashamed to stay any longer, isn't she?"

"Of course! I've disliked her for a long time. She just uses her pretty face to get all the guys around her to dote on her."

"That's right. I heard from a senior sister a long time ago that Xiao Mengting deliberately keeps those boys hanging on. She hasn't accepted any of their advances, but they still buy her a lot of nice things."

Regardless of what others said, Yu Jinchen didn't want this matter to affect the two of them any further, so he pulled Xu Qingman into the car and left this place of trouble.

Seeing that Xu Qingman didn't say anything after getting into the car, Yu Jinchen was a little uneasy. "Baby, are you angry? I don't even know that crazy woman."

Seeing him like that, Xu Qingman couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, Brother Jinchen, I'm not angry. I just think you're cute like this, I was just teasing you."

"You little brat, you scared me to death! I thought you were angry." Yu Jinchen freed his right hand and touched her face.

Then he frowned, turned to look at her, and said slowly, "Baby, could you please stop calling me Brother Jinchen? It sounds like we're just ordinary neighbors."

"Okay, got it."

After driving for no more than ten minutes, Yu Jinchen parked the car in the parking lot of a building. After getting out of the car, she led him directly to the eighth floor of the building via elevator.

Xu Qingman looked around and saw that almost all the shops on this floor were hot pot, barbecue, seafood, Japanese food and the like. Yu Jinchen took her to a seafood buffet restaurant called "Riding the Waves".

As soon as the two arrived at the door, they heard a young woman greeting them, "Hello, Ms. Yu."

Xu Qingman tilted her head and looked at him, "You own this shop too?"

“Yes, I opened this business with two classmates when I was a junior in college. Business was pretty good, so we've kept it going.” Yu Jinchen answered as he led the people inside.

He led Xu Qingman to a table for two and then said, "Let's eat first, and then I'll take you to a fun place."

She pursed her lips and said, "Okay." A slight smile played on her lips, spreading gently across her face and settling into his heart, a comforting and intoxicating feeling.

Yu Jinchen leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Baby, aren't you going to ask me where I'm taking you?"

As his warm breath brushed against her ear, Xu Qingman's ears suddenly turned red. She looked away and said sweetly, "What's there to ask? You're not going to sell me off."

Seeing that the little girl was shy, Yu Jinchen knew he couldn't tease her anymore, or she would get angry later.

The restaurant offers three types of hot pot: hot pot, barbecue, and steamed. After asking for her opinion, we called over a waiter and asked him to prepare a half-and-half hot pot.

Both Xu Qingman and he eat a little chili, but for the sake of their stomachs, it's better to eat something with a clear broth.

This restaurant, being located in a coastal city, offers a wider variety of seafood than the one in Nanfeng City, and most of it is live seafood, which tastes even fresher.

Xu Qingman loves seafood, and she thoroughly enjoyed this meal.

"Manman, would you like to get some more?" Yu Jinchen asked with a smile, seeing that everything on the table had been eaten.

Xu Qingman patted her stomach and quickly shook her head, "No, I'm full. Your restaurant's food is really good, and the seafood is very fresh. No wonder it's so popular."

The two arrived quite early; otherwise, they might not have been able to get a table. Yu Jinchen had mentioned that this restaurant had multiple owners and hired someone specifically to manage it.

For ease of management, the three owners, even when they come to eat, must pay the price according to their status as customers, and queue up as usual when there are many people.

Seeing that Xu Qingman was enjoying her meal, Yu Jinchen silently made a mental note of it and decided that if he was too busy in the future, he would often have someone deliver some to the school.

"Is this a place for gambling on stones?" Xu Qingman asked with a puzzled look as she looked at the parking area where several shops had stones of all sizes displayed in front of them.

"Baby knows about jade gambling?" Yu Jinchen looked at her in surprise.

Xu Qingman puffed out her chest and said smugly, "Although I don't understand, I've heard people say that. Besides, with so many stones piled up in a place like this, it can't be for selling stones for building houses, right?"

"What a smart girl. Come on, let me show you around. My first startup capital came from here."

"Really? You're really lucky. But I've heard people say that gambling on stones is not much different from gambling. If you're lucky, you can become rich overnight, but if you're unlucky, you can lose everything."

"Don't worry, I won't get hooked. I'll only come here occasionally, and each time I'll spend at most ten thousand yuan or so." Yu Jinchen smiled at her, his tone becoming more serious.

He knew what she meant. He had originally just come with his classmates to have fun, but seeing that they had all bought things, he spent the thousand yuan he had earned from his summer job to try it out.

Who knew he'd be so lucky? He unearthed a piece of glass-type jadeite and sold it for hundreds of thousands. After that, his business grew and he became wealthy, and he'd occasionally come to play around with jadeite, but he never touched those expensive stones.

"Mr. Yu, are you here to have some fun today too? And who is this beautiful lady next to you?" The two entered a jade gambling shop that consisted of five or six shops connected together. A middle-aged man who was squatting down selecting stones asked with a smile.

Yu Jinchen pulled Xu Qingman along with a smile and walked over. "Yes, President Liu, you're here today too? This is my girlfriend, Xu Qingman."

"Oh, Mr. Yu has a girlfriend now? How many girls are going to be heartbroken?" At that moment, a teasing voice came from behind the two of them.

Yu Jinchen put his arm around Xu Qingman, laughed twice, and said, "Brother Zhang, don't tease me. You're the real diamond bachelor, okay? I'm already taken."

"Wow, having a girlfriend really changes things. Look how nervous he is, is he afraid she'll get angry? Hahaha..."

Hearing their teasing, Xu Qingman just smiled. She could tell that none of them meant any harm, and they seemed to have a good relationship with Yu Jinchen.
