Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 644 An unexpected person
The InterContinental Prince Hotel is a five-star hotel that was built alongside the CBD, located near the Ocean Crystal Mall. Prior to this, the Regent Hotel was the city's most luxurious five-star hotel, a position it held until the InterContinental Prince Hotel opened.

Lu Mingfei remembered that when Nuonuo came to this city, she stayed at the InterContinental Hotel in Purence. The red-haired little witch came in a hurry and left without saying a word. In the end, Lu Mingfei had to come and cancel her room.

Across the street, Erii looked up at the hotel with its glass curtain wall in front of her, and unconsciously moved closer to Lu Mingfei, her cold little hand tightly gripping Lu Mingfei's palm.

She had been here before.

Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at Erii. A rare ripple appeared on the face of the underworld princess, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

He noticed Erii's unusual behavior and was about to ask her what was wrong when Su Xiaoqiang spoke up in a trembling voice:
“…Then I’ll go.”

Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen nodded beside them, their expressions tense and worried. To an outsider, it would look like Gao Jianli was seeing Jing Ke off before he was about to carry out his assassination attempt on the King of Qin...

Actually, Su Xiaoqiang just went to the hotel across the street to book a room.

When Xia Mi first suggested "let's go to a hotel together," the girls seemed somewhat shy and resistant.

Although they had already crossed the final line with Lu Mingfei, they still seemed to retain a bit of girlish shyness when it came to booking a hotel room.

The main difference is the feeling at home versus outside. Home is a familiar place, and you feel safer there... Even if they booked a hotel room not to do *that* kind of thing, but simply to find a quiet and private space to discuss transferring schools.

However, on the other hand, aside from the ambiguous nature of "booking a hotel room," it seems to be a reliable option.

There's a five-star hotel, the InterContinental Preux Hotel, right next door. It's not far, and the rooms are absolutely private and clean. The suites are spacious enough that even a few more people wouldn't feel crowded.

The air was still. Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and Chen Wenwen looked at each other, their beautiful eyes exchanging glances. They fidgeted with their clothes, as if they all wanted to hear the other two's opinions first.

Su Xiaoqiang's shyness about this matter was actually slightly less than Liu Miaomiao's and Chen Wenwen's. This was because she had already booked a hotel room with Lu Mingfei.

While traveling in Monza, Italy, their hotel happened to have only one room left, so they were forced to share the same room and even sleep in the same bed... Of course, nothing happened between her and Lu Mingfei that time.

Su Xiaoqiang coughed lightly and rummaged through his pocket to pull out his cardholder.

Su Xiaoqiang said, "I remember my dad was a Black Gold member at the InterContinental Prestige Hotel. I should have a VVIP card for that hotel, which would give me priority in booking popular room types."

After all, the InterContinental Presley Hotel is one of the most luxurious five-star hotels in the city, and naturally has partnerships with many of the city's leading companies. When negotiating business with partners, it's essential to book hotels for them. Su's Energy has always been a partner of major hotels throughout the city.

Su Xiaoqiang spoke in a rather casual tone, the usual nonchalant manner of the "Little Fairy." However, with her face flushed at this moment, saying these words in such a cold tone seemed rather unconvincing.

Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen exchanged glances. It seemed that Su Xiaoqiang was indirectly agreeing to book a room, but was just too proud to say it outright.

But it's a bit awkward to ask them to directly agree to book a room... They need to think of a roundabout way to express their agreement.

Liu Miaomiao's eyes darted around, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said to Su Xiaoqiang, "Since you have a membership card, why don't you go and book the room later?"

"?"

Su Xiaoqiang blinked blankly: "What do you mean I should go book a room..."

"Because it's impossible for all of us to go when we book a room."

Xia Mi, standing nearby, explained, "Not to mention whether other people would find it strange to see so many of us going to the hotel together... the hotel receptionist definitely wouldn't give us a room if they saw Senior Brother bringing so many girls to one room. It's best if one person goes to book the room first and then texts the others the room number. The rest of us can then go to the room in batches."

"Then why me?"

"Because you have a hotel membership card, right? Membership cards are usually registered under your name, aren't they?"

Su Xiaoqiang's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to retort, but she realized she couldn't find anything to say in her own words...

And so it turned into what it is now: a group of them standing across the street from the InterContinental Hotel, watching from the sidelines. Su Xiaoqiang clutched her hotel membership card tightly in her pocket, nervously swallowing. Once the crosswalk light turned red, she went to the hotel to check in...

The green light turned on. Su Xiaoqiang froze, and just as she hesitated, her best friend Liu Miaomiao suddenly reached out and shoved her onto the zebra crossing.

Lu Mingfei looked at Liu Miaomiao pushing Su Xiaoqiang and thought to himself that Miaomiao could be quite cunning at times... She really knew how to trick the little fairy.

"So……"

Xia Mi turned around and said, "As we agreed before, after Senior Sister Qiangqiang has booked the room, Erii and I will go first, followed by Senior Sister Miaomiao and Senior Sister Wenwen. Senior Brother will come last."

Not long after, Little Fairy's QQ message was sent to the group. Room number 8006. Quite auspicious, actually.

Xia Mi and Erii crossed the street first and headed towards the hotel. A few minutes later, Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen also crossed the street. Finally, Liu Miaomiao's text message came through: "We're in the room now, Mingfei, you can come over."

Lu Mingfei put away his phone and prepared to cross the street. Speaking of which, his girlfriend sending him a room number, saying they were already waiting for him and urging him to come quickly—just hearing that made his heart race and his heart flutter with excitement…

It's a pity it can't be today, mainly because Erii is here. If Erii weren't here, the conversation might have really turned into an imp...

A waiter in a tuxedo bowed and smiled as he greeted the young guest at the door. Lu Mingfei had been to this hotel once before when he helped Nuonuo check out, so he easily found his way to the elevator leading to the hotel floor.

For some reason, even though it was the weekend, the hotel didn't seem to have many guests. Only Lu Mingfei was waiting for the elevator, idly looking around at the hotel's decor. It was probably even more luxurious than the Regent Hotel; no wonder it was the best hotel in the city.

With a "ding," the elevator arrived at the first floor. Lu Mingfei stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the 80th floor.

As a feeling of weightlessness washed over you, the elevator slowly began to ascend. This elevator, built on the outside of the hotel, also functions as a sightseeing elevator. Standing inside the gradually rising elevator, you could see the bustling CBD center shrinking little by little in your field of vision.

Lu Mingfei recalled the "power and position theory" that the devilish version of Lu Mingze had told him, and suddenly understood why luxury suites in high-end hotels are always located on high floors. This also implicitly conforms to the "power and position theory." Watching himself gradually ascend into the air, the luxurious and extravagant CBD center becoming smaller and smaller in his field of vision, this probably makes the wealthy feel that they have power and influence, and that even the most luxurious areas of the entire city are under their feet.

Another "ding" sounded, and the elevator slowly came to a stop on the 47th floor. Someone else was probably getting on.

Not knowing how many people would come up, Lu Mingfei stepped back into the elevator to make room.

The magnificent elevator doors slowly opened before us, revealing only one person standing outside.

"..."

"..."

Lu Mingfei and the other party suddenly fell silent.

"Shall we come up?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

"……superior."

The other person answered, her long sideburns swaying, her black Dior high heels clicking on the floor, and she gracefully entered the elevator with her arms crossed, leaving a lingering fragrance in her wake.

Wine Virtue Mai...

As the elevator ascended, Lu Mingfei watched as the peerless enchantress leaned against the side of the elevator, lazily pressing the button for the 79th floor. He wondered to himself, "How did I end up running into her here?"

Is she staying at this hotel too?
Lu Mingfei was slightly surprised, while Jiu De Mai was even more speechless... She had only gone out for a meal, how did she run into this guy?
Mai Shude has always considered herself to be a person with calm and unflappable emotions, rarely experiencing any emotional ups and downs. When watching a horror movie with Chip Girl, Chip Girl screamed in fright as Sadako crawled out of the TV, but Mai Shude could still eat her snacks without changing her expression, only noticing that the bag of shrimp chips was a bit too salty.

Because she is a female ninja, a blade that needs to lurk in the shadows, she needs a heart that can remain absolutely calm at all times. When necessary, she can even lower her heartbeat by adjusting her breathing...

The reason I've said so much is simply to illustrate that she is indeed a highly professional female ninja, rarely showing emotional fluctuations. If there were a real ninja exam, she would undoubtedly be a top-tier ninja.

But for some reason, lately every time she sees Lu Mingfei, she feels a surge of restlessness and irritability, as if a fire is being ignited in her heart.

"It's probably because nothing good ever happens whenever I run into this guy..."

Mai Shude crossed her arms, tilted her head, and leaned against the side of the elevator, thinking with some annoyance, "I should have just ordered room service like I do with potato chips and had the food brought up."

Mai Shude turned around and scanned Lu Mingfei up and down. He was handsome and charming, the kind of pretty boy who could easily fool high school girls. If he were in Kabukicho, he'd probably be a natural-born male escort.

"So free? Coming to a hotel all by yourself on the weekend?" Mai Shude asked, raising an eyebrow after finishing her inspection.

The moment she asked the question, Mai Shude was suddenly taken aback... She knew she was annoyed by this guy and didn't want to talk to him, so why did she subconsciously strike up a conversation?

Lu Mingfei didn't hide anything: "It wasn't just one person, there were six of us who booked the room. They're all already in the room."

"six people?"

Even Mai Shutoku, who always prided herself on her calm and collected demeanor, was taken aback when she heard the number, her beautiful face filled with shock.

She mentally counted the number of Lu Mingfei's girlfriends... Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, Chen Wenwen, and that Little Dragon Girl—these were Lu Mingfei's officially listed girlfriends.

But there are only four people in total. Does "five girls" include Uesugi Erii? And weren't Liu Miaomiao's parents just sent away by potato chips yesterday? And today Lu Mingfei is bringing them to a hotel room...? Is the progress of the romance really that fast?

A year ago, when her boss told her he was going to help Lu Mingfei build a harem, she was somewhat dismissive, thinking that this good-for-nothing was good for nothing and that he'd be lucky to even find a girlfriend... and that girlfriend would probably have to be someone with no assets, no status, and no connections. But now it seems she underestimated Lu Mingfei...

He brought Uesugi Erii to China just a month ago, and she's already gotten things done, even started a group chat... If Genjiro, the head of the Genji family, knew about this, he'd probably bring the Snake-Headed Eight Families to kill them, even if it meant breaking the agreement with Kassel College.
No, she had to be on high alert! She needed to remind Aki to be careful! From now on, unless absolutely necessary, she shouldn't deal with Lu Mingfei anymore… and even necessary interactions should be avoided. If all else failed, she'd have to send Chip Girl out to shield Aki from the disaster.

Mai Shude is unaware that her younger sister has already confessed her feelings to Lu Mingfei.

Seeing the sudden change in expression on that stunningly beautiful face, Lu Mingfei knew that Jiu De Mai had probably misunderstood something.

"Hmm... Is it possible that things aren't actually as you think?" He interrupted Mai Shude's reverie.

"You know what I'm thinking?" Mai Shude crossed her arms and frowned. "Then what are you doing bringing so many girls to a hotel room?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that perhaps Jiu De Mai could have some ideas about Miao Miao and the others transferring schools.

So she cleared her throat and briefly explained to Mai Shude the whole story of why they had come to the hotel to book a room.

After hearing this, Mai Shude curled her lip, thinking to herself, "A whole bunch of people coming to a five-star hotel just to have a meeting? How could they even think of that… who knows what they'll do after the meeting." This little lecher's heart is far from as honest as he appears.

She shrugged: "Other things might be easier to handle, but I can't offer much help with this. After all, this is a family matter between Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen, and no one else has the right to interfere."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head; Jiu Demai's answer was not beyond his expectations.

Another beep sounded, indicating the elevator had reached the 79th floor. Mai Shude stood up and lazily stepped out of the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed behind her. Before Jiu De Mai had gone far, Lu Mingfei's voice suddenly came from behind.

"By the way, Mai, thank you for what you did last time."
