CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: CRITICAL HIT FROM LITTLE A

Qin Yun touched her chin, seriously recalling, it seemed like the original owner really didn’t have a driver’s license, she asked somewhat regretfully, "Without this license, I can’t drive, right?"

"Sister Yun! You’re a female star!! You need to set an example for your fans. If you’re caught driving without a license, it really won’t be called scandalous fame, it would be downright blackened!! Let’s go get a license first, then you can drive, okay?" Yuanyuan turned her head to look at Qin Yun with a face full of terror, earnestly trying to persuade her to dismiss the idea.

Qin Yun looked at the car she just extorted from Pei Yan, her peach blossom eyes filled with disappointment, sigh, had she known earlier, she might as well have asked Pei Yan to buy her a house full of food.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, looking at Yuanyuan beside her.

Yuanyuan’s heart skipped a beat at Qin Yun’s sudden, startlingly bright gaze, a bit flustered.

She tugged at the corner of her clothes, shrinking towards the car door, as if that could provide a sense of security, stammering, "Yun, Sister Yun, if you, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don’t look at me like that, it, it makes me nervous."

"Yuanyuan, how about you take a cab back yourself! The fare will be reimbursed! I just remembered something I need to handle with Pei Yan." Qin Yun smiled gently, like the big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood.

Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was something serious. Sister Yun, have fun with Emperor Pei, I’ll head back first."

With that, Yuanyuan swiftly opened the car door and got out.

"Emperor Pei, Sister Yun said she has something to tell you, so I won’t disturb you." Yuanyuan said to Pei Yan and then walked away.

Pei Yan nodded slightly, and then heard Qin Yun sticking her fluffy head out of the car, calling, "Pei Yan, you have a driver’s license, right?"

"Yes." Pei Yan nodded in response, puzzled.

Qin Yun opened the car door and got out, giving up the driver’s seat, tossing the keys over suavely, "Get in."

Pei Yan reached out and caught the car keys, walked over to sit in the driver’s seat, "Where to?"

"Find a place to eat, Emperor Pei with discerning taste, you should know where the good food is, right?" Qin Yun smiled, her beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkling with calculation, yet surprisingly not unpleasant.

"As long as you let me eat my fill, whatever you say goes, not to mention holding hands or hugging for a minute, even holding hands throughout, I don’t mind!" It’s merely surface contact, in the face of the desire to eat, such things don’t matter.

"You said it." Pei Yan’s lips curved up slightly, and he drove out of the 4S shop.

Pei Yan took Qin Yun to a famous restaurant he owned.

"President Pei, as per your request, we’ve cleared the venue and just procured a batch of fresh ingredients. Should we start preparing now, or wait until everyone has arrived?" The restaurant manager waited at the entrance, saw Pei Yan, and immediately greeted him to ask.

Only after speaking did he notice that the always solitary President Pei actually had a woman with him?

This woman seemed vaguely familiar from somewhere.

"Everyone’s here, serve everything on the menu once, then wait for further instructions." Pei Yan’s steps didn’t pause as he headed straight to his exclusive private room.

Qin Yun followed behind, completely indifferent to the restaurant manager’s scrutinizing gaze, following Pei Yan into the private room.

"I think one menu might not be enough for me." Qin Yun subtly reminded.

"Try what you like first, then order more." A hint of humor flashed in Pei Yan’s deep eyes.

"Oh."

Qin Yun remained calm as if nothing had happened, taking the towel handed by the waiter to wipe her hands.

Probably due to Pei Yan’s prior instructions, the dishes were all ready, just waiting for the guests to arrive before cooking, and shortly after the two sat down, dishes started coming one after another.

"The food here is quite good." Qin Yun took a few bites, her beautiful peach blossom eyes squinting slightly, unable to help but praise.

"If you like it, you can come often. I’ll have them prepare a list of locations for you nationwide." Pei Yan said, pausing, "It’s best to notify the store beforehand when you go, to prepare more food."

"Oh." Qin Yun perfunctorily nodded, starting to swiftly sweep over the dishes on the table.

"This, this, and this, except for these three, all the other dishes, bring me ten more portions!! Actually, however many you have will do." After tasting each dish, Qin Yun licked her lips and picked out three dishes she didn’t like.

If she really had to eat them, she could, but since there were tastier options, why force herself?

The restaurant manager was stunned by this and looked at Pei Yan for guidance.

Pei Yan nodded, giving a go-ahead look, so the restaurant manager immediately went to prepare.

Is this a food challenger??

There didn’t seem to be any signs of video recording.

Pei Yan didn’t eat much, soon putting down his chopsticks.

Perhaps due to eating something spicy earlier, Pei Yan’s voice was slightly hoarse and deep, "Give me your hand."

Qin Yun was immersed in the food, it took several seconds to recall her promise, slowly handing her hand over, speaking with a touch of diva-like tone, "Since there’s so much tasty food, I’ll let you."

Pei Yan suddenly laughed at something that crossed his mind.

"Life Value +1." Little C’s cheerful voice instantly popped up.

"Life Value +1."

"Life Value +1."

...

"Life Value +10."

Qin Yun had just finished eating when the next round of dishes came up.

The food cart went back and forth about twenty times, and the restaurant manager appeared in the private room again, somewhat awkwardly saying, "President Pei, the kitchen is out of ingredients. Should I have someone go and buy more now?"

Pei Yan looked at Qin Yun, asking, "Want to keep eating?"

Qin Yun licked her lips and looked at the restaurant manager, "Let’s leave it for today, remember to prepare more next time."

I’m only three-tenths full.

But compared to lately, it’s somewhat interesting.

Feeling comfortable after her meal, Qin Yun was in a significantly better mood.

And Pei Yan also received a reminder from Little C, "Remaining Life Value seventy-eight hours, eight minutes."

Holding hands while eating just gained seventy-six hours.

Because it wasn’t converted into hand-holding, it could only accumulate slowly.

Seeing the Life Value increase again, Pei Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. Being dragged out to find someone due to constant reminders was not something he wished to experience again.

Thinking of hugging for another minute later, he figured he wouldn’t need to have any more physical contact with Qin Yun for the foreseeable future.

Just then, Little A’s calm and straightforward voice suddenly resonated in Qin Yun’s consciousness, "The system has received your mood report, you’re currently in a very pleasant mood and your fondness for His Majesty Pei Yan has increased. Please cook a dish for His Majesty Pei Yan within an hour, to serve as a bridge for maintaining your relationship. Completing the task will grant you fair skin. Otherwise, the system will revoke previous rewards."

Qin Yun: "...??"
