Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 882 This is too magical?

Liu Xiong was a prominent entrepreneur in the Imperial City, but when facing a significant figure like Qin Hanchu, he had to be respectful.

Upon learning of Qin Hanchu's connection to the sovereign, he even made a point of bringing his daughter.

Liu Xiong's daughter was renowned as a great beauty in the Imperial City, even earning the nickname among the "Five Golden Flowers."

Qin Hanchu was not only young but also possessed a formidable background.

If his daughter could become Qin Hanchu's wife, their Liu family would gain an even stronger backer.

"Very good, you may leave now," Qin Hanchu said with a slight smile.

Seeing Qin Hanchu dismiss them, Liu Xiong hastily asked, "Does Mr. Qin have time for lunch today? I would like to host a banquet for you."

Qin Hanchu replied, "No need. I plan to visit the sights of the Imperial City today."

"Oh? Then allow my daughter, Liu Yu, to be your guide!"

"My daughter is a native of the Imperial City and is very familiar with its scenery and cuisine."

As he spoke, Liu Xiong gave Liu Yu a meaningful look.

At this moment, Liu Yu was overjoyed. "If Mr. Qin needs it, I am willing to be your guide."

Qin Hanchu did indeed need a local guide, so he nodded. "Then I will trouble Miss Liu."

Seeing that Qin Hanchu had agreed to let his daughter accompany him, Liu Xiong was extremely pleased. "Then I will not disturb you further. I wish you a pleasant time."

After Liu Xiong and his entourage departed, Liu Yu smiled and said to Qin Hanchu, "Mr. Qin, please follow me."

Led by Liu Yu, Qin Hanchu arrived at the hotel parking lot.

Liu Yu's car was a fiery red convertible sports car, which hinted at her outgoing personality.

As soon as they got into the car, Liu Yu asked Qin Hanchu with surprise, "Is the song 'Solo Act' your work?"

"You could say that," Qin Hanchu replied. He was too lazy to explain further, so he engaged in a bit of 'passing off.'

"I really like that song, and Mr. Qin's magic tricks were also very impressive."

Earlier, Liu Yu had been resistant to her father's arrangements.

However, the moment she saw Qin Hanchu, she recognized him instantly.

She hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to be not only talented but also to have such a powerful background.

"Thank you for the compliment," Qin Hanchu smiled.

Liu Yu started the car and drove out.

As she drove, Liu Yu said, "How about we go to Wanlv Lake Park first?"

"You're the guide, so I'll follow your lead," Qin Hanchu replied lazily.

On the way to the park, Liu Yu chatted incessantly with Qin Hanchu.

Besides music and magic, Liu Yu also inquired about Qin Hanchu's background and identity through her words.

However, Qin Hanchu's answers were vague and offered no substantial information.

While Wanlv Lake's scenery was beautiful, it did not hold much appeal for Qin Hanchu.

As a true god, he had witnessed countless dreamlike and spectacular landscapes.

"Would you like to take a covered boat? You can even fish from the covered boat," Liu Yu said, pointing to the covered boats on Wanlv Lake.

Qin Hanchu did not refuse; fishing was a good recreational activity.

Liu Yu paid the fee and then led Qin Hanchu onto a covered boat.

With the boatman's actions, the covered boat set sail towards the center of Wanlv Lake.

"Here's a fishing rod for you," Liu Yu handed Qin Hanchu an antique-style fishing rod.

Taking the rod, Qin Hanchu smiled at Liu Yu and said, "I don't need bait. Do you think I can catch a fish?"

"How can you catch a fish without bait? Unless you snag it," Liu Yu replied.

"Let me show you a miracle." With that, Qin Hanchu cast the hook into the water.

Liu Yu watched the water surface with surprise. "Is this a magic trick?"

Just then, Qin Hanchu suddenly reeled in the fishing rod.

To Liu Yu's astonishment, there was indeed a fish on the hook.

Although the fish was only palm-sized, it had been caught directly by the hook.

"My goodness, you actually caught one?"

"Are there divers underwater attaching fish to your hook?"

Even as she spoke these words, Liu Yu herself didn't believe her own speculation.

Wanlv Lake was her chosen spot, and taking a covered boat was her suggestion.

Therefore, it was impossible for Qin Hanchu to arrange for someone to attach fish underwater.

But how did this fish get hooked?

She had personally seen Qin Hanchu cast an empty hook into the water.

Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "Why don't you go down and check if there are any divers?"

"No need," Liu Yu said with a smile. "Can you do it again? Can you catch another fish?"

Qin Hanchu threw the caught fish back into the lake, then smiled and cast the hook into the water again.

"Watch closely, this time I'll give you a double catch."

Not long after Qin Hanchu finished speaking, he reeled in the fishing rod.

To Liu Yu's astonishment, there were indeed fish on both hooks.

"This is too magical! How did you do that?" Liu Yu was extremely amazed.

Qin Hanchu threw both fish back into the lake and said with a smile, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."

"Just tell me, I'll do anything you want," Liu Yu pressed, her curiosity overwhelming.

Qin Hanchu eyed Liu Yu's figure and chuckled mischievously, "Are you sure?"

Seeing the look in Qin Hanchu's eyes, Liu Yu quickly said, "What do you want? I won't agree to any excessive requests."

"Then forget it. This is the skill that earns me my living," Qin Hanchu replied.

After forty minutes on the covered boat, the two returned to shore.

"Xiao Yu, you're here too?" Shortly after disembarking, two girls exclaimed in surprise as they greeted Liu Yu.

"You're here too!" Seeing her best friends, Liu Yu smiled happily.

"You... you are Mr. Qin!" Liu Yu's friends shifted their gaze to Qin Hanchu, and one of them quickly recognized him.

Qin Hanchu smiled. "Hello, ladies."

"Xiao Yu, when did you meet Mr. Qin?"

"That's right, you're too unfair. You met Mr. Qin and didn't tell us."

"I think she's afraid we'll steal her boyfriend."

"When did you two start dating?"

The two best friends, speaking one after another, had already recognized Qin Hanchu as Liu Yu's boyfriend.

Seeing their misunderstanding, Liu Yu quickly explained, "Please don't misunderstand. Mr. Qin is a distinguished guest of our group. I was ordered by the Elder to be his guide today."

"Your grandfather's intentions are not pure."

"He's really calculating, clearly creating an opportunity for you to spend time together," the two friends said with a smile.

Liu Yu hesitated to speak, as she knew that Liu Xiong did indeed have such intentions.

"Mr. Qin, can we join you?"

"Yes, how about we tour together?"

"We're your fans. We love your magic tricks and your songs."

Qin Hanchu glanced at the time and smiled. "It's almost lunchtime. Let's have lunch together."

"Great, we'll treat," one of Liu Yu's friends said happily.

Liu Yu quickly added, "No need for you. All expenses today will be covered by me."

"Then let's go."

Qin Hanchu didn't care about such trivial matters; it made no difference who paid.
