Uh!
For some reason, even Dolisa herself found her own words a bit awkward.
"Alright, Dolisa, take Qianyu and Raynsent to see Ying first. I have some matters to attend to!"
Ye Ming glanced at the time; it was almost time for his appointment with Li Zhirou.
"Yes!"
Seeing that Ye Ming had something to attend to and was leaving, Nangong Qianyu did not insist on going along.
"Don't worry! I'll be back soon!"
Ye Ming gently hugged the understanding girl, deeply moved.
"Mmm! Come back soon!"
...
After parting ways with everyone, Ye Ming casually searched for the location of "Mengyue Pavilion" on his phone and found it.
In Kyoto, the name "Mengyue Pavilion" was as thunderous as it was renowned. If you pulled any random person off the street, they would likely have heard of it.
This was because Mengyue Pavilion was jointly established by the four great families of Kyoto. Its background was so formidable that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Within Mengyue Pavilion, various facilities were available.
Leisure, entertainment, and competition zones were all set up.
It was truly comprehensive.
Therefore, it was a favored destination for Kyoto's upper-class individuals.
Before long, Ye Ming arrived at Mengyue Pavilion.
Looking at the exterior decoration, it didn't have a gaudy, gilded feel. Instead, it appeared simple. Yet, within this simplicity, there was an air of nobility.
"Sir! Welcome to Mengyue Pavilion. May I assist you with anything?"
As soon as he stepped inside, a hostess approached him.
This hostess was dressed conservatively and carried herself with grace. Every detail she displayed embodied elegance.
Clearly, she had undergone special training.
"I'm here to meet someone!"
Ye Ming's first impression of the place was good, and a gentle smile graced his face.
"Meet someone?"
The hostess chuckled lightly, "May I ask if you are Mr. Ye?"
Hmm?
"How did you know?"
Ye Ming was somewhat surprised.
After all, his appearance had been altered, and he didn't look the same as he did during his live stream. Even if Li Zhirou had called ahead, it was unlikely the other party could recognize him so quickly.
This was because meeting someone here was not an uncommon occurrence.
Therefore, Ye Ming was somewhat taken aback.
"It's like this, Mr. Ye!" The hostess maintained her friendly smile and said, "Ms. Li mentioned earlier that when a youth who gives us a sense of mystery appears, that would be the Mr. Ye she is waiting for!"
"Oh!"
Hearing this reply, Ye Ming became even more interested in this Mrs. Zhong, whom he had never met.
The fact that she could have people recognize him in such a manner was certainly novel.
"Do I give you a mysterious feeling?"
Ye Ming couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yes! I do!" The hostess nodded seriously and said, "For those of us in this profession, reading people is a fundamental skill. Sir, you do indeed give me a mysterious impression!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Ye Ming couldn't resist a bit of playful teasing, "Have you ever heard a saying?"
"Mmm?"
The hostess paused for a moment, then said, "Please, Sir, speak!"
"There's a saying that the more mysterious something is, the more captivating it becomes!" Ye Ming looked directly into her eyes, as if peering into her soul. "Therefore, never be curious about mystery! Otherwise... you might get lost!"
"This..."
Upon hearing this, the hostess visibly stiffened.
Indeed, she had just developed a curiosity about this mysterious young man.
This was not a good thing for her.
"Th-thank you for the reminder, Sir!"
The hostess said respectfully.
So, our Master Ye wasn't just skilled at charming women; he could occasionally offer guidance.
A moment later, Ye Ming was led to the outside of a private room.
"Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye! Ms. Li is inside!"
The hostess's face was slightly flushed. What had she been discussing with Ye Ming earlier?
"Alright!" Ye Ming gave another roguish smile and whispered in her ear, "Follow the method I told you. The next time you have your period, it will definitely have miraculous effects!"
"Ah! I... I understand!"
With that, the hostess covered her face and ran off.
"Hahaha! She's truly adorable!"
Then, as Ye Ming pushed open the door, he was greeted by a refreshing aroma of tea.
On one side of the tea table, a beautiful woman skillfully brewed a pot of fragrant tea. She looked at Ye Ming leisurely, her beautiful eyes twinkling, her cheeks dimpled with a smile, "Mr. Ye is indeed a man of his word!"
At this moment, Li Zhirou was wearing a light blue palace gown, her long hair elegantly coiled up. Although time had left its mark on her face, her exquisite features still revealed the charm of her youth.
"Naturally, Madam Li has shown great sincerity, so how could I break my promise!"
Ye Ming casually sat opposite Li Zhirou, a smile on his face.
He had addressed her as "Madam Li" and not "Madam Zhong," thus acknowledging the identity of the person he was conversing with at this moment.
Li Zhirou naturally noticed this.
"Since that's the case, Mr. Ye, please savor this pot of tea I've brewed. It took me quite some effort!" Li Zhirou pushed a cup of fragrant tea towards Ye Ming, indicating for him to drink.
"Then I shall not be impolite!"
Ye Ming did not stand on ceremony. He cupped the teacup with both hands, first inhaling the aroma, then pondering for a moment before taking a sip.
His manner of tasting the tea made it difficult to associate him with his usual playboy persona.
"Oh!"
Seeing Ye Ming's refined actions, Li Zhirou was also somewhat surprised.
She truly hadn't expected Ye Ming to have some knowledge of tea ceremony.
"Mr. Ye is indeed extraordinary!" Li Zhirou asked, "Do you find my tea to your liking?"
After savoring it, Ye Ming gently placed the teacup down and said slowly, "The aroma is rich and mellow. The moment it touches the palate, there's a slight bitterness. But after careful tasting, one can sense a sweet aftertaste."
"Your tea ceremony, Madam, is worthy of a master!"
Ye Ming gave an honest appraisal.
"Oh! To receive such affirmation from Mr. Ye, my efforts were not in vain!"
Li Zhirou poured herself a cup and began to taste it slowly.
"Bitterness first, then sweetness! That is the essence of your tea, Madam!" Ye Ming glanced at the teapot on the table and smiled slightly. "But in reality, not all bitter processes lead to a sweet ending!"
This remark!
One couldn't help but wonder if it held some hidden meaning!
Upon hearing this, Li Zhirou merely smiled faintly, put down her teacup, and heated the teapot over the fire for a few moments. After a brief pause, she poured another cup for Ye Ming and said, "Mr. Ye, would you care to savor another cup!"
She did not directly respond to Ye Ming's words.
It seemed as though what she wanted to say was contained within this cup of tea.
"Alright!"
Ye Ming gave the woman before him a deep look before carefully tasting the tea again.
A moment later!
"Is this Madam's resolve?"
