Chapter 70 An Unexpected Encounter
It had been about 20 minutes since they left the Grand Xing Feng Hotel. Long Xu In took Bai Chen to a restaurant that appeared very fancy.
It was almost eight in the evening. She took him to sit by the balcony on the second floor so that they could appreciate the night view.
“Order whatever you want. No need to hold back,” Long Xu In said and gave Bai Chen the menu.
A male staff member was waiting for their orders at their table.
Bai Chen had, of course, never dined at such a restaurant before, which made him quite excited. He did not know what to order.
“Can you order for me? Please get me something good.”
In the end, he let Long Xu In order for him.
She did not refuse and ordered a large number of dishes.
The male waiter who was taking the order could only look at Bai Chen with jealousy. He was not only with a woman, but she was also treating him to a nice meal.
Apart from the food, Long Xu In also ordered a bottle of wine from the year 1990, which was really expensive.
Bai Chen had actually told her not to, but she did not listen and ordered it anyway.
The wine was the first thing that was served. A female staff member poured wine into glasses for him and Long Xu In.
“Let’s have a toast.”
After the staff member took her leave, Long Xu In raised her glass towards Bai Chen.
Bai Chen clinked his glass with hers and gave the wine a taste. He found it very smooth.
‘Not surprising why it is so expensive.’ He could only think this and wait for the food to be served.
“I didn’t expect you to be good at fighting too,” Long Xu In said.
She had not seen this coming at all. But having thought about his wonderful magic, his excellent combat skill was not surprising at all.
“I’ve trained a little.” Bai Chen smiled. He did not explain that he could beat Tan Tien’s gang because of the low-grade martial arts technique that he had gotten from the Life Changing System.
Long Xu In said nothing more. She sipped the wine happily. Her fair, glowing skin became slightly rosy from the alcohol.

“Oh! It’s that big bro!”
Suddenly, a cute voice sounded in shock.
Long Xu In and Bai Chen turned to look.
They saw a small girl with a very adorable face. She was about 10 years old and was in a pink dress. The girl was standing not very far away. Her hair was in pigtails.
Bai Chen remembered her right away. Was this not the little girl he had run into in front of the flower shop last Saturday?
“Wow! I knew it was you.” The cute little girl ran to him. She stopped next to the table Bai Chen and Long Xu In were sitting at.
“Er Er?” Long Xu In said and looked at the little girl.
“Eh?” The girl was quite surprised. She had not thought that the woman who had come with the guy she had run into in front of the florist would know her.
She turned her small, cute face to look.
“Wow, it’s Sister Xu In.” The cute little girl changed from surprised to excited. She moved towards Long Xu In almost immediately.
They obviously knew each other and had a great relationship.
“Er Er, who are you with?” Long Xu In stroked the girl’s head gently and asked.
“I’m with my sister.”
“Sister? Which sister?”
“Big sister,” the little girl replied.
“Oh, Sister Xue Ning.” Long Xu In nodded with understanding. She turned to look at Bai Chen. “Do you know this guy?”
“Not quite. We ran into each other in front of a florist’s shop,” the girl replied dutifully. She smiled at Bai Chen.
She thought that this brother must have been buying flowers that day to give to Long Xu In. whom she knew. He must have been courting her.
But her thoughts were quite incorrect. The person Bai Chen had bought the flower for was Li Lin, not Long Xu In.
“I see. I’ll introduce him to you then. This guy is called Bai Chen. He’s my friend.” Long Xu In introduced Bai Chen to the little girl and vice versa.
“Bai Chen, this is Er Er.. Xu Er Er, my acquaintance.”
“Hello, little girl. Thank you for giving me advice that day.” Bai Chen gave Xu Er Er a friendly smile.
Xu Er Er smiled widely too. “It was my pleasure.”
After introducing them to one another, Long Xu In questioned the little girl.
“Are you and your sister here for dinner? Have you finished? If not, care to join us?”
Xu Er Er shook her head with a smile. “It’s okay. Big sister doesn’t like appearing in front of other people much.”
Long Xu In nodded with understanding. Xu Er Er’s big sister was really pretty, even prettier than Long Xu In was. Every time she appeared in public, she always caught the attention of other people, no matter what age they were.
This was the reason why she disliked showing herself in front of other people.
Wherever she went, she would always wear dark sunglasses, a face mask, and a hat.
Bai Chen sat opposite Long Xu In, so he heard everything they were talking about. There was a name that he found to be quite familiar: ‘Xue Ning.’
Adding that to Xu Er Er’s last name of Xu, and the fact that the little girl was calling her big sister, Bai Chen felt a strong familiarity with the name, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but when he thought about it, he could not recall it exactly.
As he was pondering things, a woman walked up to them. She was wearing a white dress with a floral pattern. Her face was concealed by sunglasses, a face mask, and a hat, so no one could see her face clearly.
She stopped at the table where Bai Chen and Long Xu In were sitting. She stared intently at him, not moving her gaze elsewhere.
Bai Chen looked at her. He felt her sweet scent was very familiar, though he still could not figure out who she was.
Long Xu In and Xu Er Er looked at the woman in front of them and said one after the other, “Big sister.”
“Long time no see, Sister Xue Ning.”
The words of the two were somewhat different.
