Sincere Dining House!
The name is a bit common, though.
But in Dafeng City, it is the most luxurious hotel, bar none.
This is one of the few places in this Ancient Country where you can enjoy authentic state banquet dishes.
The owner's name is Huo Qingyue.
She is both the owner of this restaurant and the most famous female chef.
Similarly, she is also the female lead in the script of the Invincible God of Cookery.
Ling Yi was surprised that Zhao Mingyue would choose to meet him here.
I wonder if I'll ever get to meet this beautiful chef.
The entrance to VIP room Number Eight.
Before Ling Yi even entered the room, he heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
"Sister, is brother-in-law really the Dragon King of the Dragon King's Palace?"
"Um!"
"I knew my brother-in-law was something else, didn't I?"
"Last time I was at school, I was almost bullied by some thugs. It was my brother-in-law who took them down in just a Three Fists and kicks."
"I'm telling you, but you don't believe me."
"Also, on my brother-in-law's first visit, although he was dressed casually, he was wearing an Angel's Wings watch, a limited edition watch with only three pieces in the world."
"You still say I'm mistaken!"
"And another thing, I personally witnessed the mayor of Dafeng City bowing and scraping to Ling Yi. I'm telling you, and you even called me delusional."
"Hmph, I told you all long ago that my brother-in-law is no ordinary person, but none of you believed me."
"Especially Grandpa!"
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what Grandpa is thinking, letting Zhao Jiancheng and the others bully my brother-in-law, and making him break off the engagement."
"Isn't this trying to have your cake and eat it too?"
"Don't say that about Grandpa! Grandpa has his reasons!"
"Sis, you really think Grandpa's a good person!"
"I'm telling you, I heard Grandpa and Zhao Jiancheng say with my own ears that the position of heir to the Zhao Family is meant for him."
"Most of the company's shares have actually been transferred to Zhao Jiancheng's hands. Your small shareholding means you have no real say in the Zhao Family."
"If Grandpa and Zhao Jiancheng join forces, they can remove you from your position as president at any time."
"Hmph, now that Grandpa knows my brother-in-law is the Dragon King, he wants to salvage the situation?"
"They even pretended to kick Zhao Jiancheng out of the house, but then they took back his shares. It was clearly just for show."
Ling Yi recognized the voice; it was Zhao Wanru, Zhao Mingyue's younger sister.
He's ranked Laosan.
She was also the only one in the entire Zhao Family who treated Ling Yi fairly well.
She is a very smart and Gu Ling girl.
She is also one of the female protagonists in "The Dragon King Son-in-Law ".
I guessed long ago that Ling Yi's identity was not simple.
And he used this "secret" to "threaten" Ling Yi for a long time.
For example, he "threatened" Ling Yi to pretend to be her boyfriend and attend a class reunion.
He "threatened" Ling Yi to take her out to eat, watch movies, play games, and so on.
In Ling Yi's opinion, Zhao Wanru and the original owner of this body actually have more of a romantic connection.
She was also the only source of Warmth and comfort the original owner of the Zhao Family could find.
She is also the only female lead in the second playthrough of the Dragon King Son-in-Law" storyline who was not turned against her by Gu Mingxuan.
Unfortunately, he ended up taking a bullet for the original owner of the body and died in her arms.
This is arguably the biggest unresolved issue in the book.
However, now that Ling Yi has arrived, such a thing is naturally impossible to happen again.
The door to the private room was pushed open.
After changing clothes and using a beauty filter, Ling Yi entered the private room.
"Wow, brother-in-law, you're so handsome!" Zhao Wanru exclaimed.
Zhao Mingyue's eyes also lit up.
Previously, Ling Yi was dressed casually.
It seems that what left the deepest impression on Zhao Mingyue was that security guard uniform.
But at this moment, Ling Yi seemed to be Light Emission.
Ling Yi is handsome to begin with.
There's also Infinite Passive Charm Aura that adds 1 point of charm every day.
It's fair to say that Ling Yi is a little more handsome every day than yesterday.
Sooner or later, this thing will become Charm Demon.
At that time, Ling Yi probably won't even need to do anything; the female leads' favorability will skyrocket!
This is not...
[Ding! Zhao Mingyue's Affection increased by 20, and Plot Points increased by 2!]
[Ding! Zhao Wanru's Affection increased by 50, and Plot Points increased by 5!]
See, here comes the Plot Points.
"What's the use of being handsome? Your whole family still despises me!" Ling Yi sat down next to Zhao Wanru.
These words left Zhao Mingyue, who was standing nearby, feeling very uncomfortable, and her face was full of bitterness.
"Brother-in-law, I've never looked down on you!" Zhao Wanru hugged Ling Yi's arm tightly.
She rested her face directly on Ling Yi's arm, looking quite coquettish.
Ling Yi playfully pinched her nose and chuckled.
"Yes, you're the only one who has never looked down on me, so I've decided to give you a gift. You can choose the gift, but only for today."
"Is any gift acceptable?"
"Any gift is fine, as long as I can get my hands on it!"
"I knew it, my brother-in-law is the best."
"Then I'll have to think about it carefully." Zhao Wanru's eyes darted around.
For some reason, he suddenly started chuckling.
"You're smiling so slyly, are you plotting something?"
"Brother-in-law, I've already thought of a gift, but I can't tell you now."
"Today only!" Ling Yi reminded him.
"Okay!"
Ling Yi felt a strong liking for this unresolved issue in the original storyline.
Therefore, there was a hint of doting in his words.
"By the way, don't call me brother-in-law anymore. Your sister and I are not meant to be. I will break off the engagement in two days."
Ling Yi glanced at Zhao Mingyue, who seemed lost in her own world with a blank expression, and said.
"If you don't call him brother-in-law, what should you call him?"
"Call me brother. From now on, you'll be my sister."
Zhao Wanru murmured, "Brother?"
My "brother-in-law," you could call him a brother too, right?
Then, she called out to Ling Yi in a sweet, cloying voice, "Brother!"
[Ding, system binding conditions met, here is Zhao Wanru's income list.]
[Ding! Zhao Wanru's Affection towards the host is 130 points, Zhao Wanru's Battle Power is 10 points, 1.3x bonus, the host gains +13 Battle Power Points!]
[Ding! Zhao Wanru's cultivation boost is 1.3 times!]
I didn't expect the Affection cap to be more than 100!
Or is there no upper limit to how much Affection can be increased?
A 1.3x boost—wouldn't it be a shame not to train with that?
However, Zhao Wanru was ultimately just an ordinary person.
Even with a 1.3x boost, the cultivation speed probably won't be too fast.
If it were Zhao Mingyue, with her Nine Yin Bloodline, as long as she finds a suitable cultivation method, her cultivation speed would probably take off.
The Mysterious Yin Sect's Mystic Yin Technique is perfectly suited for Zhao Mingyue.
Ling Yi then looked at Zhao Mingyue, his voice deepening, and said, "President Zhao, is there something you need me for?"
Zhao Mingyue seemed to only just come to her senses, looking up at Ling Yi.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
After a long pause, he finally said, "I'm sorry!"
"This isn't your fault. You just didn't want to accept the arranged marriage. The one who's really in the wrong is me!"
Ling Yi shook his head. "If I had torn up the marriage certificate from the beginning, none of this would have happened."
"It won't cause Mr. Zhao too much trouble."
It seemed that the words "General Manager Zhao" had triggered something in Zhao Mingyue.
This instantly made Zhao Mingyue feel incredibly wronged, but she had nowhere to vent this grievance.
Ling Yi had always called her Mingyue.
But back then, Ling Yi called her Mingyue, which made her feel disgusted.
Every time Ling Yi called her Mingyue, she would scold him.
She has no right to feel wronged.
How much has Ling Yi secretly done for her in the past six months? How many times has he helped her?
The appearance of Gu Mingxuan, in particular, was a nightmare for Zhao Mingyue.
If it weren't for Ling Yi, what would her fate be now?
Leaving aside distant events, just last night, Zhao Mingyue still feels a chill when she thinks about it now.
