Chapter 493 - 492: Is my car still in the garage?
"Dongxu, saying that makes Sijie and me feel embarrassed! Without your help, we wouldn't have had such a great opportunity. Besides, Director Wu, as well as sisters Wu Shiyi and Liu Manman, have taken good care of us these days. There's no need to trouble you!" Jin Yushan said gratefully.
"Hehe, they are them, I am me, it's not the same. By the way, when do you finish shooting this drama? Once it's done and you have the time, I'll treat you and Sijie to a meal. Otherwise, when you go back and Lili asks why I neglected her best friends, I won't be able to bear the responsibility," Ge Dongxu joked.
"Giggle, Dongxu is just joking. You've already been too good to us. If it weren't for the fact that you're surrounded by beauties, Sijie and I would almost be willing to devote ourselves to you!" Jin Yushan said coyly.
"Cough cough, let's be serious, let's be serious. When do you finish? I really will treat you and Sijie to a meal," Ge Dongxu said, shivering at Jin Yushan's delicate voice, quickly changing the subject.
"Thank you, Dongxu. We actually finished yesterday and we're taking the evening train today. Next time you come to the capital, we should treat you," Jin Yushan replied.
"Ah, you're going back to the capital today! Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's almost lunchtime now, so I'll treat you to lunch and then drive you to the train station," Ge Dongxu said, surprised by her reply.
"You really don't have to be so polite, Dongxu. You're an important person, you have lots of things to take care of. I just called to greet you," Jin Yushan said from the other end of the phone, knowing that Ge Dongxu's courtesy was mainly because of Jiang Lili. Yet, she couldn't help trembling slightly and her eyes were full of moved emotions. Her heart was even more envious that Jiang Lili could find such a good boyfriend.
"What, you won't even give me the chance to fulfill my duties as a host?" Ge Dongxu feigned dissatisfaction.
"Not at all, we'd love to! We're just afraid of delaying your time, Dongxu," Jin Yushan hurriedly said.
"Haha, spending time with future stars, how could that be a delay? I'm just worried that when you become big stars, you won't have time even when I invite you," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Dongxu, what are you talking about? No matter what Sijie and I become in the future, with just one word from you, we'll definitely arrive as soon as possible. As for dining, we'd love for you to invite us every day!" Jin Yushan protested sweetly.
"Haha, as a science student, I can't compete with big stars like you in acting when it comes to eloquence. The way you put it, I feel like I'm floating on air," Ge Dongxu said, not a vain person, but still feeling an indescribable joy from the words of a beautiful woman.
"Stop teasing us, Dongxu!" Jin Yushan chided coquettishly.
"Alright, back to business, where do you want to eat?" Ge Dongxu stopped laughing and asked.
"Can we go to the revolving restaurant by Mingyue Lake? The scenery is beautiful there, and the environment is quiet," Jin Yushan asked.
"Of course, no problem. Then it's decided, the rotating restaurant by Mingyue Lake," Ge Dongxu said without hesitation.
"Thank you, Dongxu. Then I'll call and reserve a table right now," Jin Yushan said.
"Let me do it," Ge Dongxu said.
"Hehe, Dongxu, just remember to pay the bill, reserving a table is a small matter that we should take care of," Jin Yushan laughed sweetly.
"Alright then, I won't argue with you. Where are you now? I'll drive over to pick you up," Ge Dongxu asked.
"No need, we stayed by Mingyue Lake last night, it's just a few steps from the Good Friendship Hotel," Jin Yushan replied.
"Okay, I'll be there around twelve o'clock," Ge Dongxu said, checking his watch.
"Alright, then I'll han... Ah, wait, Wu Shiyi wants to talk to you," Jin Yushan said as she handed the phone to Wu Shiyi who was next to her.
"What's up?" Ge Dongxu asked.
"This, this, Brother Dongxu, can Manman and I join you together?" a cautious voice came over the phone from Wu Shiyi.
"Liu Manman is there too? Do you even need to ask? Of course, you can both come if you're free," Ge Dongxu said, both crying and laughing.
"Wow, thank you, Brother Dongxu, then Manman and I will be there," Wu Shiyi said happily.
"Come on, come on, as long as you don't bring the paparazzi with you," Ge Dongxu joked.
"No way, this isn't Hong Kong, and Manman and I aren't any huge celebrities. Who would have paparazzi following and snapping pictures of us? Besides, the Mingyue Lake Revolving Restaurant is a high-end place, and there are international guests there, so you can't just take pictures randomly," Wu Shiyi hurriedly said.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. With me around, even if there were any paparazzi, they would have nowhere to hide," Ge Dongxu laughed.
With Ge Dongxu's powerful spiritual power, cameras certainly had no place to hide.
But Wu Shiyi obviously misunderstood Ge Dongxu's meaning and couldn't help but remember the incident in the capital, feeling a chill in her heart, and said, "That's right, without your permission, Brother Dongxu, which newspaper would dare to publish your photo!"
Ge Dongxu was momentarily stunned when he heard this, but then he smiled, hung up the phone, and didn't bother to explain.
After this phone call, Ge Dongxu temporarily lost the mood to ponder the real meaning of "passing through a sea of flowers without a leaf sticking," thought for a moment, and said to Ma Xiaoshuai, "Put your cultivation on hold for the next few days. I will think about the mystery behind it for you, and if I really can't figure it out, you'll either have to give up on cultivating and stop at the Second Level of Qi Cultivation, or you might run into trouble again later on. I won't always be able to arrive in time. Otherwise, you will have to switch to another Sect and learn a different Cultivation Technique to see if there's still hope to advance further."
"I appreciate your efforts, Director Ge," Ma Xiaoshuai said with mixed feelings as he bowed deeply again.
"Cultivation itself is an act against nature, and it's not always smooth sailing, so don't lose heart," Ge Dongxu patted Ma Xiaoshuai's shoulder and encouraged him.
"Yes!" Ma Xiaoshuai said gratefully.
Ge Dongxu nodded to Ma Xiaoshuai and then left the villa.
Outside the villa, Xu Lei was waiting. Seeing Ge Dongxu come out, he hurriedly greeted him and said gratefully, "Thank you, Director Ge."
"Let's not be so formal between us. I see you've been making rapid progress recently. You should be close to the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation, right?" Ge Dongxu looked at Xu Lei and nodded in affirmation.
"Yes, I should be able to break through soon," Xu Lei said with a face full of joy.
Ever since Ge Dongxu gave him a Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade, his cultivation had progressed rapidly, and he finally saw the hope of reaching the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation.
"You should maintain an even state of mind, and you can ask me if there is anything you don't understand," Ge Dongxu nodded and said.
"Yes, thank you, Director Ge," Xu Lei said with a moved expression on his face.
"I've already said no need to be polite, and here you go again. Oh, and is my car still in the garage? I'm going to take it today because I need it for some things this afternoon. I'll just drive it there directly to avoid the hassle of arranging it later. I'll park this car at Yadu Garden from now on. It'll be more convenient if I need it at a moment's notice," Ge Dongxu said.
What do you think?
