"Hey, you…"

Zhang Yuxing was really annoyed, stomped her foot, and headed straight out of the hotel to her car.

Liu Zhizhong, on the other hand, didn't bother with her at that moment and handed over his ID to check in, even scanning his phone to pay.

The owner still wanted Zhang Yuxing's ID, but Liu Zhizhong said never mind, adding, "We've been arguing all the way here. She's not in the best mood, my ID should suffice. I assure you we're good people."

The owner chuckled, glanced at the luxury Mercedes parked outside, and believed him.

However, he said, "Your wife is quite beautiful, extremely charming! Tonight, you two should cram into a single room and have a good chat, maybe then you'll stop arguing, hehe... Driving such a nice car, having such a beautiful wife, you are really lucky~~~"

Liu Zhizhong thought to himself that he indeed wanted to share a bed with her, but alas, what could he do?

After completing the check-in, he went out to the car and said with a forced smile, "Secretary-General, don't be angry. That's just how it is in small places. Can you bear it for one night?"

"One night? Do I really have to squeeze into that shabby single room with you?"

Liu Zhizhong muttered under his breath, "If you want to squeeze in, I have no objections…"

"What? What did you say?" Zhang Yuxing hadn't heard him clearly.

"I said this place is just so inconvenient…"

That kind of smoothed things over, but then Liu Zhizhong added, "Tonight you sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep in the car! Let's find someplace to eat, and then we have to come back to sleep."

Saying this, he started the car. "I noticed a mutton restaurant that looked decent when we arrived. How about we go there?"

Zhang Yuxing thought for a moment, "Hmm, let's go there then!"

Upon reaching the mutton restaurant, wow, it was packed!

Looking around the lobby, there were barely any seats left, let alone private rooms.

People from all over, on road trips, gathered here, enjoying roasted mutton, stewed mutton, steamed sauce mutton, and drinking refreshing barley beer, creating a lively atmosphere.

Yet, inside the lobby, with various dialects and Mandarin mixing, it was fiercely noisy!

As soon as Zhang Xingyue walked in, seeing this scene made her slightly frown and uncomfortable.

Of course, being an incredibly beautiful woman, standing there naturally drew attention, making several men drool.

Especially those behind her, eying her charming slender back and lovely round buttocks, everyone was excited and in awe, secretly envying the man by her side. Lucky guy, indeed!

Many were imagining what it would be like to sleep with such a woman.

That strong man by her side, goodness, could she even handle him, hehe…

Even in a private room behind Zhang Yuxing, a young man who was about to go order some drinks saw her from behind, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Upon seeing Zhang Yuxing's face and the beautiful curve of her chest, he got even more excited, quickly ducked back into his room as if he had discovered a new continent.

At that moment, Zhang Yuxing whispered to Liu Zhizhong, "Try to get a private room, even if it costs more. It's too noisy here. I can't stand it. I don't like it."

Liu Zhizhong naturally knew that she, being a woman nearing middle age, preferred quieter environments and disliked noisy scenes.

Actually, it's the same for both men and women. Middle-aged individuals with some status increasingly prefer peace and quiet.

Liu Zhizhong thought for a moment and then took Zhang Yuxing to the cash register and service desk to ask if they could pay extra for a private room.

They said that wasn't possible. If they wanted one, they would have to negotiate with the guests in the private rooms themselves, which likely wouldn't work.

While they were speaking, a man with large tattooed arms, wearing a fashionable, baggy, colorful luxury T-shirt approached.

He smiled at Liu Zhizhong and Zhang Yuxing and said, "Need a private room? We could let you have ours!"

Liu and Zhang glanced at the man, feeling uncomfortable deep down.

A man nearly six feet two, bulky and sturdy, his attire clearly unconventional.

Liu Zhizhong immediately said, "Thanks, friend. How much would it cost?"

Zhang Yuxing, even more uncomfortable with the ruffian-looking young man, turned her head away. If Liu Zhizhong could handle it, she would let him do it. She typically ignored such scum in society.

But this bulky, tattooed-arm man was exactly the one from that private room who, seeing Zhang Yuxing's arrogant air, got even more annoyed and secretly vowed to be ruthless.

He replied with a smile, "Money is no issue! We're all just out having fun, and meeting is fate! How about this, you two come to our room, have a toast, and then my three buddies and I will leave."

Liu Zhizhong was inwardly astonished. Was he being straightforward?

But he quickly noticed the man sneaking glances at Zhang Yuxing with ill intentions.

Thereupon, Liu Zhizhong calculated quickly and smiled, "Then thank you, friend. Meeting is indeed fate, and a toast is proper, hehe…"
