CHAPTER 885: CHAPTER 885: OUTING

It took over an hour to drive from the suburbs to Chaotian Gate, as Ye Xuan’s Mercedes-Benz navigated through the endless streams of people and traffic, finally reaching the vicinity of Chaotian Gate.

Chaotian Gate Square doesn’t permit parking, so finding a parking spot is undoubtedly a headache! Ye Xuan drove around for about ten minutes before finding a spot to park. Then the two of them got out of the car and headed toward Chaotian Gate Square.

Unbeknownst to Ye Xuan, after they left, his car became a major attraction. Many passersby gathered around it to take pictures!

It’s not that this Mercedes-Benz is so rare; within Shangjing, it would at most be considered mid-to-lower range! But the license plate was exceptionally outstanding, reading 74110!

Such a flashy and eye-catching license plate is indeed rare, which is why it garnered so much attention and interest from the crowd.

The two of them walked about seven or eight hundred meters, finally approaching the grand scale of Chaotian Gate Square. Indeed, Chaotian Gate was as magnificent and imposing as the legends said!

The gate tower of Chaotian Gate is composed of the platform and the gate tower itself, all carved from white jade into a Sumeru base,

Gazing at the structure she had seen countless times on TV and in the news, Lu Miaochan couldn’t hide her excitement, her little face flushing with exhilaration.

"Ye Xuan, let’s hurry over there!"

Lu Miaochan exclaimed joyfully and ran toward the Chaotian Gate tower, taking out her phone to snap pictures.

When Ye Xuan caught up, she even handed her phone to him, asking him to take a photo of her with Chaotian Gate to post on her social media.

"Ye Xuan, why don’t we take one together?" After posting, Lu Miaochan suddenly suggested.

"Sure, but who do we get to take the picture for us?" Ye Xuan asked.

"Let’s just find someone to take our photo!"

"Okay, let me see who we can ask to take it."

As Ye Xuan spoke, he glanced around, preparing to pick someone from the crowd to take a picture for them.

"If you don’t mind, I can take it for you!"

Just as Ye Xuan was searching for a suitable person, a voice as melodious as an oriole came from behind.

Soon after, a young girl in a cartoon casual T-shirt paired with a pleated skirt approached with a playful smile, her steps light.

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Xuan immediately recognized who it was.

Because he was very familiar with this voice. If it wasn’t Wei Xiaosu, who else could it be?

Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Wei Xiaosu skipping over.

"Xiaosu, didn’t you go home? Why are you here?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.

Ye Xuan had received a call from Wei Xiaosu when he came to Shangjing yesterday, saying she had already gone home. He didn’t expect to meet her here today.

"Brother Xuan, of course, I’m here to hang out with you! What, you’re not happy to see me?"

Wei Xiaosu teased, her tone playful.

"Of course, I’m happy. How could I not be happy to see you? Besides, if I dared not welcome you, I guess you’d be so mad you’d tear down the Chaotian Gate tower!" Ye Xuan joked.

"I’m not that formidable! Taking down Chaotian Gate tower? At most, I’d give you a good beating to show you I’m not to be messed with."

Wei Xiaosu hummed, threateningly waving her small fist.

"You want to beat me? Your little fist might just tickle me!" Ye Xuan shrugged with a smile.

Before Wei Xiaosu could respond, Lu Miaochan interjected, "Ye Xuan, who’s this pretty girl?"

As she spoke, she fixed her gaze on Wei Xiaosu, her eyes full of vigilance.

"She..."

Ye Xuan chuckled, lovingly ruffling Wei Xiaosu’s hair, "She’s my cute little sister!"

"Brother Xuan, are you trying to get yourself killed? Don’t randomly touch my head, I won’t grow tall!"

Wei Xiaosu slapped away Ye Xuan’s hand, gave him a dissatisfied glare, then turned to Lu Miaochan with a sweet smile, "Hello, big sister! I’m Wei Xiaosu, Brother Xuan’s... well, his little sister!"

Relieved to hear Wei Xiaosu was just a sister, Lu Miaochan sighed.

Her tense face immediately softened into a bright smile. She extended her hand and said, "Hello, I’m Lu Miaochan, Ye Xuan’s girlfriend! Nice to meet you."

"Oh? So, you’re Sister Miaochan!"

Wei Xiaosu feigned surprise, full of admiration, "Hehe, Brother Xuan mentioned you before. You’re as beautiful as he said you are. I’m glad to meet you, Sister Miaochan."

With that, she extended her hand too, shaking hands with Lu Miaochan.

"Did Ye Xuan really mention me?" After they let go, Lu Miaochan asked curiously.

"Of course, he mentioned you, more than once!"

Wei Xiaosu glanced slyly at Ye Xuan but continued to sing praises, laughing, "Every time Brother Xuan talks about you, he praises your beauty, saying you’re a heavenly beauty unparalleled in the mortal world, unmatched even by Xi Shi, Diao Chan, or Imperial Concubine Yang!"

The little girl had a tongue dipped in honey, "At first, I didn’t believe there could be such a beauty. But upon seeing you, I realized Brother Xuan wasn’t lying. Sister Miaochan, you’re truly so beautiful!"

Uh...

Ye Xuan, listening from the side, felt a bit embarrassed, thinking this little girl was really talented at flattery; it was a shame she didn’t go into stand-up comedy!

Lu Miaochan looked doubtful, "You’re lying, right? Did he really say that? Hmph, I don’t believe he’d say such things."

"No! Sister Miaochan, I’m serious, he did say that!"

Wei Xiaosu lied effortlessly, clearly having learned well from Ye Xuan.

"I don’t believe it! That rascal is already good if he doesn’t speak ill of me!"

Lu Miaochan pouted. Though she said she didn’t believe it, her heart was sweet, like she’d tasted honey.

What girl doesn’t like to hear nice things? Especially when it’s the person they like saying those nice things! This rascal still had a conscience, praising her behind her back despite not saying it to her face!

It seemed she had misunderstood Ye Xuan. She ought to treat him better in the future, not only talk bad about him behind his back but also say some nice things, give him some credit.

"Little Miaochan, you’re my most adorable girlfriend, of course, I only say nice things about you, why would I say anything bad?"

Ye Xuan chimed in, following Wei Xiaosu’s lead with a serious tone.

Then, switching his focus to Wei Xiaosu, he said, "Xiaosu, go on, take a picture for the two of us!"

"Okay, you two stand together and strike a pose!"

Wei Xiaosu cheerfully agreed, taking Lu Miaochan’s phone and starting to take pictures of the pair.
