Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 233 Rumors



Although the distance from Sakya County to Lhasa was only about 400 kilometers, Eric and his group took almost nine hours to arrive.

Of course, their vehicle was not the white yak cart specially used by the Living Buddha, but a medium-sized bus. On board were Eric, Tan Ailing, Tang Feiyan, little Feng Qian, Luoli, Sun Clouds, the four major guards, and a Sakya believer who served as their driver.

Your journey continues at empire

The reason for taking so much time was simply because Tang Feiyan wanted to experience the customs and culture of Tibet. According to her, being on the purest land of China, it would be a pity not to experience it thoroughly!

Thinking about how Tang Feiyan had hurriedly flown from A country after learning about his situation, and had been by his side without leaving a step, Eric was filled with warmth and naturally did not refuse her proposal. Although this would delay their afternoon flight, Eric didn't mind at all.

Guided by the Sakya believer driver, the group visited the sights along the way from Sakya County to Lhasa. They had a standard "nomadic meal" at a hospitable Tibetan family for lunch, and Tang Feiyan even borrowed horses from the Tibetan family to gallop freely on the plateau with Eric.

Of course, Eric's identity as the "Living Buddha" was not revealed, otherwise, they would only be worshipped and could not have such a carefree time!

By six or seven in the evening, Eric and his group finally arrived in Lhasa and settled in the only five-star hotel there, the Lhasa Grand Hotel! They booked three luxury suites.

Eric, Tan Ailing, and Tang Feiyan stayed in one, little Feng Qian with Luoli and Sun Clouds stayed in another, and the four major guards stayed in the last one.

As for the Sakya believer driver, he was prepared to drive back to Sakya County overnight. The experience of traveling with the Living Buddha this time was enough to excite him for several months, and he now had the capital to make friends and relatives envy him!

Tang Feiyan lay on the bed in a big font, groaning, "Ouch, ouch."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What's wrong?" Tan Ailing couldn't help but find her weak appearance somewhat amusing.

Tang Feiyan exaggeratedly took a breath of cold air. Pityingly, she said, "Ailing, my thighs are so sore. It must be from the poor-quality saddle rubbing against them..."

Tan Ailing didn't take her complaints to heart at all because she knew that even if the saddle were of poor quality, it would definitely not cause a pre-heaven master like Tang Feiyan to break her skin! Without asking much, she was sure that this girl was pretending to be pitiful!

"Why were you so crazy at noon?" Tan Ailing glanced at Eric and walked over to pat Tang Feiyan's buttocks. She laughed as Tang Feiyan cried out in pain, "Stop pretending. Eric is also a pre-heaven master now. Do you think he doesn't know that pre-heaven masters all have protective qi?"

Tang Feiyan suddenly realized and stopped pretending to be pitiful. She sat up, hooked her arm around Eric's, and said, "Eric, when can we play like this again? Riding horses on the grassland is much more fun than clubbing and bar hopping..."

"As long as you want, anytime!" Eric patted her hand.

Tang Feiyan was ecstatic. She nodded repeatedly and said, "How about we go tomorrow? After all, the new flight is tomorrow night..."

Tang Feiyan didn't wait for Eric's answer. Instead, she received a slap from Tan Ailing. "Enough. We've been out playing all day today. Go take a bath. Then let's go eat. We'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow!"

Tang Feiyan didn't have the courage to refute Tan Ailing's decision. She muttered and walked into the bathroom. However, she didn't shower quietly. Instead, she laughed as she washed, "Ailing, do you remember Wan Qingsi's expression at the end? It was so wonderful. Eric's move was really amazing..."

Recalling the surprised and embarrassed expression on the female reporter's face before she left, Tan Ailing couldn't help but smile. She glanced at Eric with a slightly reproachful look.

"It's not my fault!" Eric shrugged. He didn't care at all and said, "She was disrespectful to you guys and even had some hostility..."

"And who caused that hostility?" Tan Ailing snorted and said, "Isn't it because of you?"

Just as Eric was about to explain, Tang Feiyan's voice came from the bathroom, "Ailing, do you think we'll see a rumor about Wan Qingsi and Eric in the news tonight?"

Tan Ailing was slightly surprised and chuckled, "That's hard to say!"

"Well, she's famous now..." Tang Feiyan's voice was somewhat resentful.

"Be famous? Miss Wan Qingsi is already a renowned journalist for CCTV, with countless fans nationwide. Why would she need to rely on such methods?"

It was only then that Eric remembered. Wan Qingsi was the female journalist who had wanted to interview him at the enthronement ceremony but was taken away by the guards in red. It seemed that later, the Sakya Priest had also spoken up for her, saying she wanted an exclusive interview, but he had adamantly refused, which seemed to have frightened the Priest...

"Why wouldn't she?" In Eric's recollection, Tang Feiyan disagreed with Tan Ailing's words and retorted, "Although Wan Qingsi is indeed quite well-known, it's only within China. Whereas Eric, we are world-renowned..."

As Tang Feiyan was praising Eric, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Tan Ailing got up to open the door and said, "It might be little Feng Qian and Luoli! Feiyan, hurry up, we're going to eat..."

"I'm done showering..."

As Tang Feiyan replied, Tan Ailing was surprised. "Miss Wan, it's you!"

Yes, the visitor was Wan Qingsi, the renowned journalist from CCTV's "People" program.

In the morning, shortly after Eric and the others left, Wan Qingsi also came to her senses. With the help of the photographer Xiao Qiang, who had a special forces background, she struggled to break free from the encirclement and drove to Lhasa.

Because Eric and the others were out sightseeing, Wan Qingsi, though arriving later, had arrived early. However, at the "meeting" place, she couldn't find the person she was supposed to meet. Fortunately, she clearly remembered that Eric had said "dinner," otherwise, she might have burst into tears long ago!

In anxiousness, she called the central station every half an hour to inquire about the check-in status of Eric's group. Obviously, she had finally confirmed this news just now...

With a nervous heart, she pressed the doorbell.

The door was opened by a stunningly beautiful and cold-looking woman, whose exceptional grace made Wan Qingsi, who was also a top beauty, couldn't help but be dazed for a moment. With the "clairvoyance" she had developed over the years in her profession, she immediately recognized that the woman in front of her was one of the five masked women who had stood behind the Living Buddha that morning!

Seeing that the woman recognized her, Wan Qingsi calmed herself down and smiled, "Excuse me, is the Living Buddha of Sakya staying here?"

"Yes, he is!" Tan Ailing smiled and nodded, "Miss Wan, please come in and talk!"

Qingsi inexplicably felt a little nervous, shaking her head and saying, "Could you please help me call the Living Buddha?" When she said this, she completely disregarded the "Living Buddha's" noble identity.

Fortunately, Tan Ailing had never cared about this issue. She immediately turned and said, "Eric, Miss Wan is looking for you!"

Eric came out, smiled at Wan Qingsi, and said, "Miss Wan, we meet again. What's the matter?"

After hesitating for a while, Qingsi whispered, "You said you would invite me to dinner at the Western restaurant of the Lhasa Grand Hotel..."

Eric and Tan Ailing exchanged glances. Neither of them had expected that a seemingly savvy woman would take a joke invitation seriously!

Since she took it seriously, Eric didn't intend to go back on his word. With a nod from Tan Ailing, Eric extended his hand in invitation, "Miss Wan, please..."

They arrived at the Western restaurant, sat down, ordered, and silently finished their meal.

It wasn't until the dessert stage that Wan Qingsi couldn't help but speak up, "Your Holiness, I swear not to make our conversation public. Can you tell me, do you happen to be the most handsome chairman in history?"

Eric sipped his fruit juice, smiled, and asked, "Is that important to you?"

"Yes!" Wan Qingsi said seriously, "A journalist's curiosity is definitely beyond your imagination!"

Eric chuckled. Without words, he just nodded.

Qingsi's eyes lit up inexplicably, and she said, "Since that's the case, I believe you've seen online that there are many girls who adore you to the point of obsession. They are posting online, willing to go through fire and water for you. How do you plan to repay them?"

"Do you think online comments are authoritative?" Eric raised an eyebrow.

"Although most people are just joining in the fun, there is indeed a part of girls who are crazy about you! You should give them an explanation!"

"What do you think I should do to repay those who adore me? It's quite different from begging. Basically, I suspect you have a conspiracy to manipulate all female compatriots."

Eric couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was the first time he had heard such a terrifying statement. "Miss Wan, you should publish this conspiracy theory on CCTV. What reason do you have to make such an inference?"

Wan Qingsi's face turned slightly red as she said, "I consider myself a very rational woman, but when facing you, I am at a loss and behave abnormally. If I'm like this, what about other girls?"

Eric suddenly felt that he shouldn't have come to eat with this woman today, because not only was she incoherent, but her thoughts were also inexplicable, and he couldn't figure out if she was questioning him or confessing...

Today, the waiters working at the Western restaurant could feel a strange atmosphere. It seemed that everyone's attention was not on the delicacies carefully prepared by the hotel's specially invited chef from France, but almost all eyes were on the handsome man and beautiful woman by the window. Some sharp-eyed waiters even saw some diners discreetly manipulating various recording equipment.

Of course, although these people's little tricks fooled the distraught Wan Qingsi, they couldn't deceive Eric. He just didn't care about them!

After finishing the dessert, Eric firmly bid farewell to the reluctant Wan Qingsi and returned to his room. This disappointed many professionals who were looking forward to "explosive" news!
