Feng Qizheng's big mouth was stretched wide in an enormous laugh, and he still remembered to stick a thumb up at Ning Chen.

Tantai Qingyue, with no expression at all, picked up a meatball with her chopsticks and flicked it away!

Fwip!!!

The meatball flew clean across the room and into Feng Qizheng's mouth.

Feng Qizheng's laughter stopped short. He clapped both hands to his throat, choking, eyes rolling up, and made a gk, gk, gk noise.

Pan Yucheng saw and slapped him hard between the shoulder blades.

Feng Qizheng coughed the meatball back out.

He dragged in a breath, slammed the table and came to his feet, pointing at Tantai Qingyue, glaring at her in fury... He had very nearly choked to death.

Tantai Qingyue looked back at him, cool as ever.

Ning Chen felt a headache coming on. He nodded quietly. "Will do!"

Jin Dongxing had taken over the whole restaurant, so everyone bedded down there!

Ning Chen naturally had the best room in the place.

Jin Dongxing took Ning Chen up the stairs himself, and at the door said, smiling all over his face, "I've prepared a gift for my lord prince in the room. I hope my lord prince likes it!"

A gift?

A few chests of gold and silver and jewels, no doubt.

Still guessing, Ning Chen went into the room.

Candlelight wavered inside. Ning Chen swept the room with a look and saw nothing that looked like a gift.

He stepped through into the inner room, and one step in he went stupid.

There on the edge of the bed sat two great beauties, charming a hundred ways.

For looks they were no match for Yudie and the others, but they had it over them for sheer heat.

Both wore thin silk skirts. Their skin was pale and so fine a breath might have blown it away, their full breasts all but came out at you,…
