The restaurant hotel was simply called the "restaurant hotel" because it was right across from the hotel and was operated by the hotel, itself.It didn"t hold any different name and was affiliated with the hotel overall.
Xiao Yunhua didn"t expect for the next day to arrive so quickly, so she went out and bought a chic maroon dress that was sleeveless and was a little above her knees. She tied her long hair in a ponytail and used minimal makeup to enhance her already beautiful features. The only thing that didn"t make her seem childish was the deep red lipstick that made her seem mature, old enough to date someone ten years older than her.
She had worn a pair of cla.s.sic black pumps and slung a black purse around on her shoulder, allowing it to dangle freely. Checking the time on her phone, she was ready to go with thirty minutes to spare.
Excited to capture the heart of her second target and because she genuinely enjoyed the company of Qiang Yue, Xiao Yunhua set out and walked to the restaurant.
She attracted many onlookers" gazes because she looked like a model as she casually walked inside of the restaurant. Xiao Yunhua finally reached the doors and the waiter asked if she had a reservation.
Xiao Yunhua didn"t know if Qiang Yue reserved a table, but just by telling the waiter her name, he ushered her to one of their most private tables in the back. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that Qiang Yue had prepared after all.
Sitting at the table reserved, more people stared at her before turning back and minding their business. Xiao Yunhua saw the time was ticking and there was only eight minutes left until the time of their arrangement.
As it wasn"t the official time yet, Xiao Yunhua didn"t lament and ordered a small dose of wine to pa.s.s her time. She didn"t like drinking alcohol, but every once in a while, she had an urge. And today was one of those urges.
Eight minutes pa.s.sed and Qiang Yue had not arrived yet. Xiao Yunhua checked the time on her phone and frowned. Why hadn"t this man shown up yet?
But nonetheless, she was patient. She had a gut feeling that he would confess today, so she wasn"t too concerned that he would be a little late. It was a special night after all.
Another hour pa.s.sed by and the waiter had refilled her cup with more wine. Xiao Yunhua closed her eyes as a sense of wooziness filled her.
Why wasn"t he here yet?
Two more hours left and it was 11:00 PM, the restaurant slowly getting empty. The waiter asked her if she needed to order any food since she was drinking alcohol on an empty stomach.
Xiao Yunhua waved it off and drank more, her mind growing fuzzy. She would wait.
Finally, it was midnight and the restaurant was officially closed. Xiao Yunhua stood up to leave, but her steps were a bit shaky.
"d.a.m.n... that... Qiang... Yue..." she slurred, walking back to the hotel. When she arrived, she knocked on his door, only to see a housekeeper open his room door.
"Can I help you?" The housekeeper said, a bit annoyed that her work was interrupted by a young woman.
"I... wanna... talk... to... the... person..." Xiao Yunhua took a deep breath, but it didn"t help her drunk self.
Luckily, the housekeeper understood and said, "Sorry, the person who occupied this room has moved out today!" And then she slammed the door on a shocked Xiao Yunhua.
No way!
Xiao Yunhua wiped her eyes, only to see that she was in front of the right room.
Qiang Yue... really left without saying goodbye?
Her eyes suddenly stung with tears.
This was an unfair play on his account! But if we were going to be unfair, then she would be reckless too.
Xiao Yunhua didn"t stop and think for the reason of his sudden disappearance. Her drunk self was h.e.l.lbent on being impulsive, more impulsive than usual.
She swayed out of the hotel and walked to Leisure, the island"s most famous bar, at midnight.
