Chapter 8 First Come First Serve

Shi Yan kept putting off calling Song Yuchen until Song Yuchen called her in the evening.

The night outside the window was splashed with ink. Song Yuchen had just finished taking a shower and was standing in front of the huge French window with his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Shi Yan on the other end of the phone was hesitant, clearly having something to say.

Song Yuchen took a sip of his coffee and said, "Just be frank, Shi Yan, we are husband and wife."

There should be no secrets between husband and wife.

Shi Yan admired Song Yuchen's frankness and said carefully, "Grandma Lu wants our two families to meet, but it's okay. If it's not convenient for you, I will tell her to meet another day."

"Sunday, I have time."

Song Yuchen interrupted Shi Yan, and Shi Yan's lips moved slightly, "Okay."

When Shi Yan hung up the phone, her palms were covered in sweat.

Although she and Song Yuchen had a flash marriage and it was only in name only, Song Yuchen gave her a greater sense of security.

Since Song Yuchen had made time, Shi Yan felt embarrassed to ask him to book a hotel.

Shi Yan took the time to book a high-end hotel in the city center. Seeing the balance on the card getting less, Shi Yan felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Sure enough, whoever’s card is swiped will feel the pain.

on Monday.

Lu Hong brought Wen Fang and Lin Shanshan here. Lin Xingguo had a meeting to attend and couldn't make it back, but he still called Shi Yan to congratulate her, and he was very superficial.

Shi Yan's stepfather is a very good person. He is always fair in everything he does. In addition, Wen Fang is pregnant, so Lin Xingguo likes Shi Yan a lot more because of his love for her.

Lin Shanshan wore an exaggerated Gothic-style skirt with matching makeup, which attracted a lot of attention.

Wen Fang came over to pull Shi Yan, her face filled with worry. "This hotel is so expensive, where did you get the money?"

"Mom, Song Yuchen booked the hotel, don't worry."

Since Lu Hong wants to see him, Shi Yan can't let Lu Hong look down on Song Yuchen.

This old lady has a vicious mouth and a cruel heart, and you never know what she will say about him.

Lu Hong, carrying a new brand-name bag, stood in the lobby and urged, "You two, if you have something to say, why don't you go to the private room and talk? Why do you have to embarrass yourself here?"

Wen Fang frowned and retorted unsatisfactorily, "Mom."

Lu Hong waved her hands irritably, "Hurry up."

Wen Fang wanted to say something else, but Shi Yan stopped her arm, turned around and walked to the front desk to ask about her appointment.

"Excuse me, miss. The private room you reserved is occupied."

The front desk staff looked embarrassed, and Shi Yan became a little anxious.

"I made a reservation in advance, how can it be given to someone else?"

Wen Fang also came over. Lu Hong listened to what she said and couldn't help but sneer and mock, "Oh, it's not because you don't have enough money, is it?"

Wen Fang turned around and looked at her, "Mom."

"Okay, okay, I have to tell you. Isn't that guy surnamed Song quite arrogant? Even a room he reserved was snatched away?"

Shi Yan ignored her and said coldly, "I made a reservation in advance. How could your hotel do this? I want to complain to you!"

"Miss, it's like this. Our store is fully booked, but members have privileges."

The front desk clerk gave a wry smile.

"How about this? We can arrange a stay at one of our other hotels and give you an annual membership."

Lu Hong couldn't help but snort coldly behind him. Shi Yan controlled her temper and refused coldly, "No."

The fact that the reserved room was snatched away by a member undoubtedly shows that Song Yuchen has no power or influence. Lu Hong will definitely seize on this point and talk about it endlessly.

She is very good at judging people and might even implicate Wen Fang.

Shi Yan must grab this room today.

"Shi Yan!"

Shi Yan put her arms on the table and was about to speak when a young lady in luxurious clothes suddenly came down from upstairs.

The eldest lady exuded the scent of money. She walked towards Shi Yan with a smile and held her affectionately, "Long time no see!"

Shi Yan pulled the corner of her mouth to reveal a smile, "Long time no see."

The person in front of him was Shi Yan’s former good friend and high school deskmate, ***.

Shi Yan's memory of her still stayed in the time when they were both in school, but two days ago, she heard that *** had married Ying Han.

Ying Han can be considered as Shi Yan's childhood sweetheart. At the beginning, Ying Han had a crush on Shi Yan, but because of some things, he did not break the window paper.

However, Shi Yan now has no idea why the two of them are staying away from her.

It seems that since they have been together, Ying Han has not contacted me, probably to avoid suspicion.

The sudden intimacy between the two made Shi Yan feel uncomfortable all over.

*** glanced at everyone and asked caringly, "What happened?"

The fact that the room was robbed was embarrassing in itself. Before Shi Yan could say anything, Lin Shanshan, who was standing next to her impatiently, suddenly said, "The room was robbed. How boring."

"Ah? That room? I'm a member, maybe I can arrange it for you."

*** handed over her membership card in a pretentious manner and smiled at the staff.

Ten minutes ago, it was clearly *** who heard that the room was reserved by Shi Yan and specifically requested that room.

The staff member received ***'s gaze, took the card, looked it up briefly, and then handed it back to *** respectfully.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Ying, but we don't have a suitable private room at the moment. How about the hotel I offer you? The decoration and service are also first-class."

*** looked at Shi Yan with a regretful expression, and sought her advice.

"Shi Yan, what do you think? I've heard of the hotel under its umbrella, it seems pretty good. Oh, by the way, are you having... a family gathering today?"

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air.

Faced with ***'s concern, Shi Yan felt strangely uncomfortable in her heart. She looked at herself with a hint of a knife in her eyes.

Shi Yan fluttered her long eyelashes, "I guess so. It's okay. I'll think of a way."

"Oh, you're getting married. That's great news. But it seems that only shareholders can arrange member rooms in this hotel."

*** smiled slightly, "How about this, I give Ying Han a call?"

"Need not."

*** stared at Shi Yan meaningfully, "If it's to help you, I think Ying Han will be happy to help."

*** raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice, "After all, you and he used to be very good friends."

Shi Yan felt even more uncomfortable. She had hidden meanings in her words, her expression was innocent, and her words were like soft knives.

Lu Hong and Lin Shanshan stood by and watched the fun.

Wen Fang is not good at speaking and can only worry.

*** was about to dial the number when a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him, "No need."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Song Yuchen was dressed in formal attire, with a hint of fatigue and impatience between his brows.

He is a natural clothes hanger. The black suit he wears is particularly aura-filled. Coupled with his cold and indifferent face, he gives people an aloof and distant look.

Song Yuchen walked straight towards Shi Yan and took Shi Yan's hand as if no one was around. "Sorry, I'm late."

"No, it's not too late."

Song Yuchen looked at Wen Fang again and said sorry, ignoring Lu Hong the whole time.

Lu Hong was having trouble standing with her bag, but Lin Shanshan, who was standing next to her, held Lu Hong and stared at Song Yuchen with starry eyes.
