I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 47: The Water Tower is Flooded

"Qingyue, where are you going? I'll take you there." Peng Ruilin asked after leaving the hotel.

"No, I want to take a walk." Han Qingyue refused.

"Taking a walk, that's great! I haven't taken a walk for a long time, let's go together." Peng Ruilin said without hesitation.

Han Qingyue was shocked: "Big star, are you stupid? You dare to take a walk with me? Aren't you afraid of being chased on the street?"

"What am I afraid of! Who can recognize me once I wear sunglasses and a mask!" Peng Ruilin didn't care.

"Forget it, I won't take a walk. I don't know what others will think of me if a weirdo like you wearing sunglasses and a mask follows me! If you must give me a ride, then just take me home." Faced with such a fearless traffic star, Han Qingyue gave in.

Peng Ruilin's car was parked in the hotel parking lot. He was driving a new off-road vehicle of a certain brand. It had a low-key appearance but was very expensive.

Peng Ruilin got into the car first. Han Qingyue walked to the side of the car and reached out to pull the back door. Suddenly, there was a "click" sound of the door being locked.

"Sit in the front!" Peng Ruilin turned around and said with a smile.

Han Qingyue had no choice but to slowly withdraw her hand, open the passenger door, get in, and fasten her seat belt.

Seeing that Han Qingyue was seated firmly, Peng Ruilin started the car.

In the evening, Huangshan is ablaze with bright lights, and the car lights on the driveway are dotted with a faint mist, like fluttering colorful gauze.

Han Qingyue looked out of the car window. It started to drizzle when she was almost home. The raindrops playfully hit the car window, slowly forming crystal clear water droplets.

"Qingyue, how did you and Lu Siqing know each other?" After a long silence, Peng Ruilin suddenly asked.

"He is my brother's friend, a very good one, almost a close friend." Han Qingyue replied.

"Oh, that's quite interesting! He is just trying to get the upper hand because he is close to the water!" Peng Ruilin sighed subconsciously, with a look of envy, helplessness, and a bit of sourness.

"You're thinking too much. The building closest to the water may be the first to be flooded!" Han Qingyue laughed heartily.

"Hahaha..." Peng Ruilin laughed.

As they were about to arrive home, Han Qingyue unbuckled her seat belt and prepared to get out of the car.

"Qingyue, I'll take you home. As a thank you, shouldn't you invite me to your house?" Seeing Han Qingyue's anxious departure, Peng Ruilin felt uncomfortable. He knew she wouldn't agree, but he deliberately made things difficult for her.

"You're a big star, and you dare to come to my house? What if you get photographed? What if some unscrupulous entertainment reporter says that you and I..."

"Han Qingyue, President Han, you think too much, don't you? You worry more than my agent! It seems that you are all the same, you all like to nag!" Before Han Qingyue finished speaking, Peng Ruilin couldn't help but interrupt her with a resentful look on his face.

As a public figure, he has to take too many things into consideration. Even if he wants to let loose occasionally, he is still controlled by Han Qingyue.

"Big star, I'm doing this for your own good. Of course, it's also... for myself." Seeing how pitiful he looked, Han Qingyue felt a little sorry for him and her tone softened a lot.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't go! You hold the umbrella and don't get wet in the rain." Peng Ruilin reached out and took an umbrella from the back seat and handed it to Han Qingyue. Han Qingyue took the umbrella and smiled gratefully, "Thank you! I think this umbrella is very beautiful. I won't return it. It's mine!"

After she finished speaking, she pushed the door and got out of the car.

"Han Qingyue, you..."

His umbrella, worth thousands of dollars, was stolen by Han Qingyue. This was the first time he had encountered such a shameless and overbearing woman. However, she was so cute!
Peng Ruilin reluctantly left after watching Han Qingyue enter. As a public figure, he had many frustrations. Han Qingyue was right. To avoid being secretly photographed and having some unfounded and irrelevant reports made about him, he had better be cautious.

The next day, Han Qingyue visited Qian Xiaoyan in the hospital. Having survived this near-death experience, Qian Xiaoyan seemed completely transformed, no longer as depressed as before. Han Qingyue knew her past and, while Zhou Xing was out, offered some encouragement and solace.

"Qian Xiaoyan, your husband was almost crying when he arrived at the hotel. We can all see that he really cares about you. You can imagine what he would do if anything happened to you. It's easy to find priceless treasures, but it's hard to find a lover. You are lucky to have someone who truly loves you. Don't do anything stupid again!"

Han Qingyue's gentle voice soothed Qian Xiaoyan's heart. She looked at her husband with red and swollen eyes who was coming in from outside the door, her heart moved, and tears instantly flowed down her face.

She nodded vigorously and looked at Han Qingyue with a grateful smile.

After Zhou Xing completed the discharge procedures, he and Qian Xiaoyan returned to the hotel. In order to welcome her, Han Qingyue specially had room 908 carefully decorated.

The light yellow curtains, fresh white sheets and a bouquet of sunflowers symbolizing sunshine and love decorate the guest room, giving it a warm home feel.

Zhou Xing accompanied his wife for several days in Huangshan City, where they climbed Mount Huangshan together and returned to their former school, reminiscing about their youth. Qian Xiaoyan had completely shaken off the shadows of her past and returned to her former optimistic self. Having experienced the trials of life and death, she had become more calm and peaceful.

On the day the two left, Han Qingyue sent a car to take them to the airport and also brought them some Huangshan specialties.

Grateful for Han Qingyue's help, after returning home, Zhou Xing told the media what Han Qingyue and the hotel staff had done for them. He also sent a banner and the news made a special report.

When Gao Huifang saw the news, she had just finished dinner and was chatting with Lu Wentao and Lu Sicheng.

"Sicheng, you are right. Han Qingyue is really a good girl. She is beautiful, capable, and most importantly, kind." Gao Huifang smiled and said to herself.

"Ah? What did you say, Mom?" Lu Sicheng couldn't believe what he heard.

These days, he could sense that his mother's attitude towards Han Qingyue had changed, especially after she accidentally saw a special report about the Qingxin Hotel helping the people in the disaster area. However, she had never praised Han Qingyue so directly and sincerely in front of her husband and son.

"I said Han Qingyue is a good girl! You and Siqing were right!" Gao Huifang repeated when she saw her son pretending to be stupid.

"You just found out? I told you so long ago!" Lu Wentao, who seemed not to pay attention to what they were saying, interrupted.

Gao Huifang glanced at him and smiled, "Okay, you're right, your future daughter-in-law is the best!"

Daughter-in-law? Hearing his mother address Han Qingyue like this, Lu Sicheng was particularly happy for his brother. His mother's subconscious address revealed her inner thoughts: she had completely accepted Han Qingyue.

Lu Sicheng told his younger brother Lu Siqing about this important discovery without hesitation.

At this moment, Lu Siqing was leaning on the sofa watching TV when he received a brief but cheerful message from his eldest brother, Lu Sicheng: "Siqing, our mother just said Qingyue is her daughter-in-law. The rest depends on you to make it happen."
