Seeing the two chatting happily, Qin Qi smiled, feeling happy for Shu Hua while also feeling a little worried.
Is this person friend or foe...?
How could such a distinguished young man not have a name in the capital?
If they are not from Beijing, what is their purpose in suddenly coming to the capital?
In a place like the capital, where all sorts of people mingle, Qin Xi would be the first to disbelieve that someone came to sightsee. But if they were here to stir up trouble, that would be somewhat believable.
Before she could figure anything out, Shu Hua had already arrived, followed by the man and the guard who had been standing guard with the sword.
"Yizhi, let me introduce you. This is Chu Wangbei, Young Master Chu." She introduced him to Qin Qi with a smile, and they quickly exchanged identities.
Chu looked north...looked north...
Qin Xi frowned inwardly, feeling that the name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
Seeing her lost in thought, Shu Hua waved her hand in front of her eyes: "Yizhi?"
Qin Xi snapped out of her daze, smiled, and curtsied to Chu Wangbei: "Greetings, Young Master Chu. This humble woman is very polite."
Chu Wangbei, holding a folding fan, quickly bowed to her: "You're too kind, young lady. You can call me Wangbei. May I ask how you should address me?"
Qin Qi nodded: "Qin Qi, courtesy name Yizhi."
"So it's Miss Qin, a pleasure to meet you. I'm new to the capital and unfamiliar with the local customs, please forgive me, ladies." Chu Wangbei was very polite, what a handsome young man.
Qin Xi smiled politely, her dimples appearing and disappearing, but there was a hint of aloofness in her eyes.
Shu Hua walked over and took her arm, whispering, "Yizhi, I've invited Young Master Chu to dine in a private room. You don't have any objections, do you?"
Her tone was somewhat pleading. When she looked at Chu Wangbei, her eyes seemed to be filled with scattered stars, radiating confidence and beauty.
Qin Qi couldn't refuse, so he politely extended an invitation: "Young Master Chu, please."
Chu Wangbei cupped his hands in greeting again: "Please, ladies, go ahead."
Qin Xi didn't refuse and walked straight ahead. But Shu Hua, who was walking beside her, kept turning back to look at Chu Wangbei, which made Chu Wangbei somewhat confused and bewildered.
The group arrived at the designated private room, where guards were waiting at the door.
At this moment, Shu Hua was standing next to Qin Xi, but she kept smiling at Chu Wangbei, and Chu Wangbei could only smile back.
Just then, a waiter came to serve him. Qin Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "Since you are a newcomer to this place, young master, you are an honored guest. Please order first."
Chu Wangbei seemed somewhat flattered and stood up to bow to her: "I am not very knowledgeable. I was overwhelmed by the menu after looking at it for a while and I do not know what the dishes are. I cannot choose. Please forgive me, Miss Qin and Miss Shu."
"Didn't we agree to call me Xiao Zi?" Shu Hua pouted and muttered.
"How can we be so intimate on our second meeting?" Chu Wangbei's ears turned slightly red.
However, looking at the beautiful woman opposite him, he still pinched his ear and stammered, "Zi... Zi Hui."
He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her, but his hand, which he had just lowered, was still clenched tightly. He looked very nervous, like a respectable man who had been bullied.
Upon hearing this, Shu Hua's eyes crinkled with laughter, a satisfied smile playing on her lips. Without any shyness, she addressed him openly and generously: "Wang Bei."
Qin Qi tried hard to suppress the displeasure in her heart, maintaining a polite but distant smile. This feeling was indescribable, like having her beloved cabbage, which she had cultivated for years, suddenly devoured by a wild boar.
Placing the menu in front of her, Qin Xi quietly pursed her lips, her tone sour: "In that case, this humble woman will order."
