Hundred 216: Chapter 216: A Bottle of Wine for Eighty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred “Siqi, what’s happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yifeng could tell from Fang Siqi’s expression that something must be up, so he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Xiao, do you have time at noon to have lunch with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Siqi looked at Xiao Yifeng and couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought it was something serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I have time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beauty is inviting me to lunch, I always have time for that,” Xiao Yifeng said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since we’re about to graduate, someone from our class took the initiative to invite most of our classmates for a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like the last gathering before we finish university,” Fang Siqi explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why are you asking me to go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t it be a bit inappropriate for me to show up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Siqi’s gaze flickered for a moment before she said, “Because I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way, pretend to be your boyfriend again?” Xiao Yifeng was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Xiao, what do you mean ‘again’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that you…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got a bit excited and misspoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?” Xiao Yifeng quickly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, there’s a classmate who keeps pestering me, and I’m afraid that this time…” Fang Siqi said, her face turning a bit red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m quite good at playing the role of a shield,” Xiao Yifeng said with a mischievous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, Fang Siqi brought Xiao Yifeng straight to a five-star hotel in Tianhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect your classmate to be so wealthy, to have a reunion at a five-star hotel,” Xiao Yifeng commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know who arranged it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just called and told me to come over,” Fang Siqi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the two of them entered, arriving at the door of a large private room on the hotel’s fifth floor and walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the room, they were greeted by a burst of noisy voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was packed with people, at least thirty young men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all seemed to be around twenty-one or twenty-two, clearly Fang Siqi’s classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The private room itself was quite spacious, with three tables set up and rows of sofas on the sides, including coffee tables, a television—everything you could think of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fang Siqi walked in, everyone in the room turned their gazes towards her, and a group of people came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader, a young man dressed in a suit whose hair was slick and shiny and wore an air of affluence, came over with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes roved over Fang Siqi, brimming with a sly glimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Siqi, you’re here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come in and take a seat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man greeted Fang Siqi warmly, while a woman dressed in a low-cut V-neck outfit, looking quite flirtatious, seemed irked by his attention to Fang Siqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She huffed with evident jealousy in her eyes, and upon noticing Xiao Yifeng beside Fang Siqi, she said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo, Siqi, who’s this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he be your boyfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the woman’s words, the young man turned his gaze to Xiao Yifeng, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the crowd likewise turned their attention to Xiao Yifeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He…” Fang Siqi looked at Xiao Yifeng, still somewhat shy and unsure how to introduce him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, I am Siqi’s boyfriend,” said Xiao Yifeng, wrapping an arm around Fang Siqi assertively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the faces of everyone in the private room changed, and they couldn’t help but look towards the opulent young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the young man’s face looked somewhat ugly, his eyes coldly darting a glance at Xiao Yifeng, while the garishly dressed woman beside him wore a smug expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, my name is Wan Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May I know your name, brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did you get to know Siqi?” the young man asked Xiao Yifeng, his gaze fixed on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s it to you?” Xiao Yifeng replied bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Wan Kai’s face darkened, and a flash of anger passed through his eyes, but he ultimately held it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right, Young Master Wan, Siqi, now that everyone has arrived, let’s all sit down and get ready to start the meal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, another man with a somewhat mature face spoke up, and soon the group took their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yifeng naturally sat next to Fang Siqi, with the voluptuous woman on his other side, followed by Wan Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, feel free to order whatever you like today; it’s on me,” Wan Kai stood up and declared assertively to the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Wan is formidable, Young Master Wan is truly amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, without Young Master Wan, we probably wouldn’t even have a chance to set foot in this five-star hotel in our lifetime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of students showed great excitement, showering Wan Kai with praise, which made him wear a grin of triumph, his eyes glinting with disdain as he glanced at Xiao Yifeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the latter was browsing the menu continuously, paying him no heed, Wan Kai’s face visibly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, are you sure we can order just anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yifeng’s gaze flicked over to Wan Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Wan Kai replied with an air of arrogance, nodding his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten Australian lobsters, two servings of Bird’s Nest with Jade, three Philip steaks…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yifeng immediately began reciting a list of dishes to the waiter, leaving everyone else in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this guy really eat that much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wan Kai’s face was turning sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others might not know, but he was well aware that each dish ordered by this man cost over ten thousand yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these items together would come to at least several hundred thousand yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his family was wealthy, the idea of spending so much money in one go was still painful for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring also a bottle of ’82 Lafite,” said Xiao Yifeng, handing the menu over to the waiter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, sir, we only have ’88 Lafite here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t even have that, and you call yourself a five-star hotel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well then, bring four bottles of the ’88 Lafite,” Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on, how much is one bottle of that wine?” Wan Kai quickly interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, the price for one bottle of wine is eighty-eight thousand eight hundred,” the waiter responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, many of those present almost spat out their water, with Wan Kai feeling as if his heart had been stabbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God damn, more than eighty thousand for a bottle of wine, these four bottles would cost over three hundred thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was downright extortionate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else was just as shocked, their gazes turning to Xiao Yifeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy couldn’t be doing this on purpose, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how would someone dressed so simply know about the exorbitant price of the wine here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only three hundred thousand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s quite cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe we should order a few more bottles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t think Young Master Wan would mind such a small amount of money, right?” Xiao Yifeng said, a playful smile on his face as he looked at Wan Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>",1218,"2026-06-03T07:10:13.925Z","2026-06-03T07:10:18.225Z",1,"novelbin.me","0338a76af679fbc6df0842469026117b8b58ce3b2c37307add6ce35aee76392d","beautiful-ceo-s-top-martial-expert-chapter-217","beautiful-ceo-s-top-martial-expert-chapter-215",2367,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeautiful-ceo-s-top-martial-expert-cover.jpg"]
