Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Chapter 160: What Happened to Punishing Qi the Scoundrel Together?

When Du Zhaoye returned and saw the sumptuous feast on the table, he knew his wife had spared no expense.

"You two have to drive, so no wine. Just eat more."

Du Zhaoye decided to turn a blind eye to the fact that Du Xinxin hadn’t come home last night.

A daughter is bound to leave the nest eventually.

Besides, Du Xinxin was an adult and had her own judgment.

Even without any wine, the meal was incredibly lively, filled with constant laughter and cheer.

After dinner, Du Xinxin and Xu Rong went to pack their bags.

Meanwhile, Qi Sheng sat in the living room with Du Zhaoye, drinking tea and chatting.

He treated all his fathers-in-law the same.

He had arranged for five kilograms of tea leaves that cost over ten thousand yuan per half-kilo.

Seeing so much expensive tea, Du Zhaoye found himself in a pleasant dilemma.

His daily-use tea had just been upgraded from a few hundred yuan per half-kilo to over ten thousand yuan per half-kilo.

’This is a true case of going from frugal to lavish.’

"Ah Sheng, I won’t say much more. I hope to see the day you two walk down the aisle!"

Du Zhaoye used his tea in place of wine, clinking his cup against Qi Sheng’s before downing it in one gulp.

"You will."

’Qi Sheng, on the other hand, didn’t really care about a ceremony.’

’The only thing he couldn’t give Du Xinxin was the marriage certificate.’

’If she really wanted one, it wasn’t impossible.’

’He could just divorce Tan Hua one minute...’

’...and get a marriage license with another girlfriend the next.’

’After all, all women cared about was that piece of paper.’

’With a marriage certificate and a wedding banquet, who would dare say he was just playing around?’

...

Watching her parents see them off by the roadside, the little girl’s eyes grew red.

Her mood only started to recover after she had rested in Qi Sheng’s arms for a while.

"Honey, are we going to find Nuonuo first, or Yaoyao?"

Du Xinxin thought about how her home was in the Northwest, while the other two girls lived in the southeast—they were practically crossing the entire country.

"We’ll get Nuonuo first. It’s a bit closer."

Qi Sheng sat in the back, holding Du Xinxin and watching a popular TV show.

When they got tired of watching, they would hold each other and take a nap.

Up front, Gu Feng and Gu Hai took turns driving.

After a full eleven hours on the road, they finally arrived in another ancient capital of six dynasties—Nanjing.

By the time they reached Nanjing, it was already past midnight.

Qi Sheng and Du Xinxin, however, had slept soundly the entire way.

The comfort of the Cullinan’s first-class seats was truly impeccable.

Du Xinxin, soft and fragrant in his arms, was better than the most comfortable pillow in the world.

"Mmm... Honey, are we here?"

Du Xinxin groggily opened her eyes and, seeing the car parked in front of a grand hotel, asked with curiosity.

"Yeah. Let’s get out."

Qi Sheng smiled and gently pinched the little girl’s cheek.

’The little girl has put on quite a bit of weight over the New Year.’

"Hey!"

Du Xinxin shot Qi Sheng a playful glare, feigning indignation.

"Honey, you’re not getting tired of me, are you?"

"Then why do you eat so much? Scared now, are you?"

Qi Sheng took Du Xinxin’s hand as they got out of the car, merely nodding at the attentive doorman.

"Hmph! Just wait until I get Nuonuo. We’ll see how we deal with you then."

Du Xinxin proclaimed with a look of indignation.

She had completely forgotten how, just last night, even when she and her "sisters" had joined forces, they were still no match for Qi Sheng.

The scene ended with them all on their knees, begging for mercy.

Upon entering the hotel, the first thing they saw was the concierge desk.

The background wall was meticulously outlined with countless fine gold threads, depicting the cityscape of Jinling City in a gilded effect.

Combined with the golden, palace-style ceiling, the entire marble wall glowed with an amber light, creating a stunning visual.

’You have to admit, the design of Kempinski’s hotels has a very unique flavor.’

’When I get the chance, I’ll have to acquire Kempinski one way or another.’

They went up to the hotel’s fifth floor, which was where check-in was handled.

The design was still stunning, even compared to the concierge lobby downstairs.

Although it was past midnight, the front desk staff still politely addressed the two of them.

"Good evening, how may I help you?"

"Do you have any presidential suites available right now?"

"Yes, sir. The presidential suite is 30,000 yuan per night. Shall I check you in?"

Hearing that Qi Sheng wanted the presidential suite, the young woman at the front desk became even more respectful.

"Yes, for two nights to start."

Qi Sheng handed over his ID and his China Construction Bank private banking card.

It had been a long time since he’d checked into a hotel at the front desk.

He hadn’t decided which hotel to stay at before coming this time.

But compared to Banyan Tree, it was still a considerable step down.

To give the simplest example...

...the price of an entry-level room at Banyan Tree was nearly double that of one at Kempinski.

The gap between a luxury hotel and a five-star hotel was just that obvious.

"Wow, honey, look! The view at night is so beautiful!"

Although the nightlife in Jiangsu couldn’t compare to the liveliness of Chengdu...

...the nightscape was incredibly beautiful.

Looking out from the suite’s floor-to-ceiling windows at the brightly lit metropolis...

...the confidence that came with wealth allowed Qi Sheng to calmly pull the little girl into his embrace.

"Honey, carry me to the shower~"

After watching the night view for a while, Du Xinxin started to get restless.

"Is Nuonuo asleep?"

"Not yet. She’s trying to figure out how to sneak out."

"Then have her send her location. I’ll send Gu Feng to pick her up. It’s too late for her to take a private car service."

"Okay."

Du Xinxin, also worried something might happen to Pan Yinuo, quickly sent the location to Qi Sheng.

"Ah Feng, go pick someone up."

Qi Sheng sent Pan Yinuo’s location and phone number to Gu Feng, then carried Du Xinxin to the bathroom.

Even though Qi Sheng hadn’t eaten much on the road...

...his remaining stamina bar was more than enough to handle a lightweight like Du Xinxin.

In less than an hour, Du Xinxin was already suffering the consequences of her own actions.

She sulked in Qi Sheng’s arms, tracing circles on his chest.

And Pan Yinuo, whom she had regarded as her savior...

...still hadn’t arrived by the time she and Qi Sheng were finished.

Pan Yinuo: "Xinxin, my grandma won’t let me out. I’ll come find you guys tomorrow."

Du Xinxin: "We agreed to be sisters-in-arms and vanquish the villain Qi, but you bailed on me?"

Pan Yinuo: "I didn’t want to! But my grandma’s old, and I’m afraid of worrying her."

Du Xinxin: "Come on, Nuonuo, please think of something! He’s so ferocious, how can I handle him all by myself?"

Pan Yinuo: "But just a few days ago, you were bragging to me that even he was no match for you."

Du Xinxin: "Hey, hey, hey! Don’t expose my weak spots! I was just bragging."

Pan Yinuo: "I have to go. Grandma is insisting on sleeping with me. I’ll see you tomorrow and we can talk then."

Du Xinxin: "..."

In the end, she had to shoulder the burden all by herself.
