Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Little Elf
The remark sparked discontent from the person in front: "It’s not mine; can’t I even look at it?"
Another person, full of envy, said, "Look how well he treats his girlfriend. If I were his girlfriend, I wouldn’t mind dying right now..."
Though they said they were just looking, they couldn’t help but get lost in their fantasies.
However, her words resonated with everyone.
"Exactly, if my boyfriend were to watch me ride the carousel, he definitely couldn’t stand it for a minute."
Then, their conversation oscillated between the virtues of Qin Jin and the faults of their own boyfriends, growing louder and louder.
Qin Jin furrowed his brows, just about to lash out, but then he saw Ye Zi getting off the carousel and walking towards him.
During the intervals when the music stopped, she would always run over to chat with him, as if afraid he might get bored.
But this time, she didn’t hurry back. Qin Jin tossed his cigarette butt, touching her head: "Aren’t you going back? The next ride is about to start."
Ye Zi slightly lowered her head and murmured a muffled "Mhm," but she did not move.
Noticing her low spirits, Qin Jin cupped her face: "What’s wrong?"
Ye Zi whispered, "So many people are watching us..."
Qin Jin chuckled and kissed her earlobe, murmuring in her ear: "I’ll have someone ask them to leave. The whole amusement park can be yours."
"Don’t," Ye Zi quickly objected, "Let’s go, we’ve been here long enough."
"Not playing anymore?"
"Mhm, not anymore."
"Let’s go, then."
Qin Jin took her hand and pulled her towards the car, utterly indifferent to the envious looks of the crowd.

"Young Madam, your sour plums have arrived."
"Mhm, put them down."
Lately, Shen Cheng has been addicted to sour plums, eating a couple every so often.
No sooner had the servant delivered the sour plums than she picked one from the fruit basket.
Just as she was about to eat it, she thought of something and handed the sour plum to Shi Yu, "Have one."
"I don’t want it."
Seeing him refuse, she took the plum in her mouth and teasingly approached him, swaying it in front of his face.
Shi Yu’s gaze turned cold at the sight.
"Little Elf."
He barely parted his thin lips, uttering three words.
Shen Cheng leaned closer again, offering her lips to him.
Shi Yu, narrowing his cold eyes, looked at her for a moment but eventually lowered his head to cover her lips, taking the sour plum.
Then, he slowly chewed and swallowed it.
The servants nearby found it unbelievable.
All the servants in the mansion had figured out Shi Yu’s preferences since the first day they started working there.
What he liked and disliked, all the servants remembered by heart, daring not to make any mistakes.
Thus everyone knew, what he hated the most was sour things.
Yet today, he actually touched something sour!
And even seemed to enjoy it!
As the sky gradually darkened, the mansion was enveloped in a bustling atmosphere.
Since Shi Yu rarely entertained guests, the servants were generally quite leisurely.
But today was different, as all the staff were busy preparing for dinner.
The whole process was orderly, with each person’s duties flowing like an assembly line.
The preset menu featured more than thirty exquisite dishes, in addition to freshly air-flown fruits and various snacks and desserts.
Everyone was amazed by this luxurious lifestyle.
Upon hearing that tonight’s guest was Qin Jin, the servants started gossiping behind closed doors.
"I heard that Second Young Master Qin is coming, is it true?"
"The young master ordered it himself, could that be false?"
"Second Young Master Qin is famously debonair; I’ve seen him in the newspapers, so handsome..."
"We’ll see him in person soon, just thinking about it is thrilling!"
