Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 844 - Is it something dangerous?

"Here’s your check, Sir."

A waitress stops in front of the table and hands Lin Hui, a check presenter. She smiles sweetly at the two men, but her smile made Lin Hui frown.​​

He stares at the waitress and scoffs inside. He is sure the woman thinks he and Liu Ye cannot afford to pay.

However, the corners of his mouth slowly lift.

He takes out his wallet and grabs his bank card. He sends a quick wink at the waitress as he puts the card on top of the check presenter.

"Let me know if there’s any problem with my card."

Liu Ye was too innocent to understand the situation. He could only blink his eyes at Lin Hui while the waitress’s smile turned crooked.

She (the waitress) tries to compose herself to keep her smile. She takes the check presenter and looks down.

"I will let you know if there’s any-"

Her eyes shot open as her words were cut short when she looked down at the bank card.

"T-this..."

She stammers one word as her hands began to shake uncontrollably. However, she made sure not to drop the items in her hands.

Lin Hui opens his mouth and yawns, but inside, his eyes were rolling until stars appeared.

He leans back against his chair and looks at the waitress with lazy eyes.

"That’s a black card. Is something wrong with it?"

The waitress was dumbfounded by how easily Lin Hui described the bank card. Her head motions up and down as she stares between the card and Lin Hui.

"No, no, no. There’s nothing wrong, Sir. I will go ring you up, then bring your card back."

After what felt like an eternity had gone by, she slowly shakes her head and gestures a polite bow before leaving the table.

Liu Ye was at a loss regarding the situation. He noticed that the waitress was holding the black bank card like it was a precious treasure, but he was oblivious to the meaning behind it.

He watched the waitress disappear and looks back at Lin Hui.

"Sorry to ask, but did I miss something? Why did she react that way?"

Despite making an effort to think about the situation, he didn’t find an answer.

He remembers something Lin Hui had said and glance around the restaurant. After he confirmed that no eyes were on them, he leans towards the table.

"And, what’s a black card? Is it something dangerous?"

Lin Hui scoffs a faint chuckle in disbelief. He stares at the young man for a long second before sighing.

"Really too innocent. How in the world did you survive in Red Moon?"

She (the waitress) had judged them wrongly because of their attire. Without a doubt, she probably thought they couldn’t afford to eat here.

However, he could care less about what she thinks.

He ends his thoughts and grins at Liu ye. He wanted the boy to know that he is unfazed by what happened.

"You didn’t miss anything but have a lot to learn from now on. As for the black card..."

His words paused, and he taps his chin to think.

"It’s quite dangerous but can be very useful."

"Here you are, Sir. Your table has been paid off."

The second his last word fell, the waitress’s voice can be heard again. She stood in front of the table with a huge smile and hands the black card to Lin Hui.

"Sir, I hope you enjoyed your meal. Please come back to dine with us anytime."

Lin Hui couldn’t help but sneers inside at the waitress’s quick change in behavior.

He looks down at the bank card in his hand then puts it inside his wallet.

Like his boss, he is a customer at Celestial Bank and happens to be one of the few customers issued a black card. He never planned to used it as his other bank cards were enough to pay for the meal, but he wanted to slap the waitress on the face.

’To never judge a person based on their appearances.’

* Ring ring

He thought to himself before his phone ringtone interrupts him. He takes it out and checks to see who was calling him.

Upon seeing the name, his eyebrows arched up in amus.e.m.e.nt, and he answers the call.

"Lin Hui speaking."

Liu Ye blinked his eyes in puzzlement at Lin Hui. He could hear the faint voice of a man but couldn’t tell who it was that called.

However, not wanting to pry into other’s conversations, he focuses his attention on the restaurant interior.

It didn’t take long before Lin Hui’s phone call came to an end. He put his phone in his pocket and stood up from his seat.

"Let’s get out of here. We have to go somewhere."

Liu Ye didn’t think much and quickly follows Lin Hui’s movements.

As the two men make their way towards the exit, a woman with wavy red hair and a man stood up from their table to leave too.

The woman wore a black coat over her black dress and white turtleneck. Her appearance was like an alluring villainess, but her aura was too pure to make her appear like one.

As for the man, he was indeed charming with brown hair. He wore a navy suit that outlined his body and enhanced his features. He held his white coat and turned to look at the woman.

He smiles a smile that can make any woman’s heart flutter.

"I was looking forward to today since I’ve heard so much about the beauty of the Qin family."

He faintly chuckles at the woman, and his words continue.

"I never thought we would be meeting for a blind date like this. However, it saddens me that you have to leave so soon, Qin Xue."

Qin Xue’s expression remained emotionless. She was sure that the man’s sweet words would have many women fall for him, but she was different.

She wasn’t the least bit touched by him but felt cringed and disgust.

The reason why she is here on this blind date was because of her parents. However, fed up, she promised this would be the last one.

After today, she wishes to find a man who will love her for herself and not her family’s name.
