Chapter 1088 1048: Looking Down on Others

Outside Northern Mountain City Airport, Chen Fei, holding Pei Wanning's hand, walked out of the airport terminal and looked at the sky that was gradually darkening. His eyes were somewhat hazy, filled with complex and unclear emotions.

"Brother Chen, Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first. Let's catch up for a meal sometime," on the other side, in front of an Audi A6, Li Yuan waved to Chen Fei and Pei Wanning with a smile and said.

"Sure, let's keep in touch. If you have any issues that you can't resolve, feel free to call me." Chen Fei raised his old Nokia phone with a smile and said. Meeting Li Yuan felt like fate, and so far, he had left a good impression on Chen Fei. Hence, if there was any trouble, he wouldn't mind helping out.

Li Yuan paused at his words, then smiled and said, "You said it, Brother Chen. I'll remember it and keep in touch when I have free time..."

Then, he got into the Audi A6, and the car drove away in the darkening night sky.

"Honey, where are we going now? Are we going to your house now?" Pei Wanning's slightly nervous voice sounded by his ear. After all, she was going to meet Chen Fei's mother, how could she not be nervous?

"Now?" Chen Fei's fingers trembled slightly, and a faint nervousness and anxiety appeared on his face as he hesitated, "How about we go back tomorrow instead? Let's stay a night in Northern Mountain..."

It was clear at this moment, having truly returned to his homeland, the one most anxious was not Pei Wanning but himself.

Northern Mountain City was only a few dozen kilometers from his hometown Chengyang County. With his and Pei Wanning's abilities, they could reach there in just a few minutes, but the problem was…

Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, was really feeling a bit anxious right now. The emotion was truly difficult to describe in its complexity.

"Tomorrow? Alright, let's go back tomorrow then." Pei Wanning, not noticing Chen Fei's unease, breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, then asked, "Honey, where should we go now?"

"Let me think..." Chen Fei stroked his chin, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he said, "Got it, come on."

Chen Fei led Pei Wanning to the taxi exit outside the airport.

"Driver, California Garden Grand Hotel."

"California Garden Grand Hotel? Young man, it's not cheap to stay there for a night, you..."

The taxi driver was stunned upon hearing this and instinctively said.

Ever since Gao Zhinan's Vast Sea Group gradually became the largest leading enterprise in Jiangnan Province over the years, California Garden Grand Hotel also rose in prominence and received focused development!

Today, California Garden Grand Hotel has become a landmark in Northern Mountain City! Because more than two years ago, the hotel was upgraded and selected as one of the three major six-star hotels in Jiangnan Province.

Staying a night at a place like this surely wasn't cheap.

The driver noticed Chen Fei's rather ordinary attire and instinctively questioned whether he could afford such a luxurious hotel.

"Hehe, driver, you see I'm bringing my wife back home! Isn't it necessary to spend a bit? This is called essential investment, don't you think?"

Chen Fei laughed this off without caring, even starting a conversation with the driver.

There was no denying that hearing the hometown dialect was comforting. It made him feel good.

"Hmm?" The driver was momentarily stunned, only just noticing the woman by Chen Fei's side. Her appearance, her beauty… Even though the taxi driver was over fifty years old, he couldn't help but have a sparkle in his eye.

"The young lady's really pretty." The taxi driver exclaimed from the heart and gave Chen Fei a thumbs up, saying, "You're quite the young man, marrying such a beautiful wife really does Northern Mountain proud."

"Alright, get in the car. This trip is on me, welcome home."

"How could that be?"

"Come on, don't look down on your uncle, okay? Get in the car."

...

Chen Fei rubbed his eyes with a slight smile and led Pei Wanning into the car.

"Since that's the case, thank you, uncle." He said with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle," Pei Wanning also said with clever sweetness.

The warmth of such humanity gave her a peculiar feeling inside, strange yet still fresh and comforting…

The taxi drove away from Northern Mountain City Airport. After more than half an hour, they arrived at California Garden Grand Hotel.

"This place has changed quite a bit." Looking at the somewhat familiar but mostly new six-star California Garden Grand Hotel, Chen Fei shook his head and murmured.

"This place is so beautiful." Pei Wanning gazed at the imposing, luxurious main building of California Garden Grand Hotel, her lips slightly parted in awe and her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The architectural style on Earth is indeed different from that of the Cultivation World.

So naturally, there will be different feelings.

This is undeniable.

A six-star hotel, even globally, there probably aren't many, right?

So it's not surprising that Pei Wanning would be amazed.

"Let's go, let's head inside." Then Chen Fei led Pei Wanning into the hotel's interior, straight to the front desk.

"Hello, are there any rooms available now?" At the front desk, Chen Fei asked the woman dressed in professional attire with long flowing hair.

The latter lifted her head, noticing Pei Wanning's stunning beauty, her eyes were immediately shaken, and then a hint of jealousy appeared in her gaze. She glanced at Chen Fei, found him in cheap market clothes, and her eyes instantly turned disdainful as she said indifferently, "Sorry, sir, the California Garden Grand Hotel is fully booked tonight. Perhaps you should look elsewhere."

"Fully booked?" Chen Fei was slightly stunned and slowly said, "No additional rooms available?"

The woman glanced again at Chen Fei, as if looking at an uncultured country bumpkin, and said, "Sorry sir, all rooms are already reserved. There are no others available at the moment."

Hearing the tone wasn't too bad, and there were no rooms, Chen Fei touched his nose, resigned to his bad luck, shook his head.

"No rooms. Seems so, let's look elsewhere." He prepared to leave with Pei Wanning.

Just then, a tall, slender man dressed in brands walked in, head held high, apparently also for check-in.

The woman at the front desk saw the man dressed in brands and being handsome, her smile visibly became more enthusiastic.

She cast a coquettish glance at him and said, "Hello sir, here to check-in?"

"Yes. Are there any rooms available?" The man realized the front desk's suggestive gaze toward him, instantly understood, smiled, and hooked his hand over the woman's hand.

"Do you have a reservation?" The woman pretended to be shy and smiled, asking.

"No," the man hurriedly smiled, his hand pursued hers, eyes feigning affection, voice low.

"There's a VIP suite that hasn't been reserved yet, though it's not cheap. It costs 5888 for one night, what do you think?"

The woman's eyes showed a seductive, alluring look. These so-called VIP suites, if they could be booked by guests, they as the front desk staff would earn a commission.

If they could successfully persuade a guest, that'd be great.

"5888?" The man's expression changed, then gritted his teeth, a faint heated smile appearing on his face as he looked at the woman intently, saying, "Alright, let's stay for three nights. Beautiful lady, are you free tonight? How about we have dinner together..."

Just as the man was eagerly, impatiently trying to seal the deal with this seductive woman, Chen Fei walked up expressionlessly.

"Miss, I believe you owe me an explanation. Why did you say there were rooms when he arrived, but none when I did?" Even though Chen Fei was fully aware of the situation, he was somewhat angry.

"You?" The woman looked at Chen Fei in his cheap clothes, her seductive gaze showing faint sarcasm, disdainfully saying, "Didn't you hear what I said? This VIP suite costs 5888 per night. Can a country bumpkin like you afford it?"

"How could you speak like that?" Pei Wanning stepped forward, frowning slightly. She originally didn't want to bother with these ants, but now the woman went so far as to mock her man, which was touching on her reverse scale.

Thinking about this, her gaze turned slightly cold as she looked at the woman.

Facing Pei Wanning's gaze, the woman immediately felt as if she'd fallen into an icy abyss. Her face turned pale, her body momentarily weak.

With her Peak of Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm level, even just a look, the woman as an ordinary person couldn't withstand.

However, at this moment, Chen Fei tugged Pei Wanning's hand. The pressure from her gaze dissipated.

"You, you..." The woman looked at Pei Wanning with some fear, surprised at how intimidating her gaze was. Then, realizing how embarrassing she looked, she couldn't hold back her anger, glaring at Pei Wanning, sharply saying.

"What? Did I say anything wrong? Look at you, wearing such trash clothes, yet having the audacity to stay at our California Garden Grand Hotel, shameless... I tell you, our California Garden Grand Hotel caters to high-end clientele; it's not a place for poor people like you, understand?"

The jealousy within her heart for Pei Wanning's beauty made her more wanton. Unbalanced internally, full of mockery, sharp-tongued.

"What's happening, Xu Qian? What's going on?" At this moment, a slightly deep male voice came. Soon, a man in his thirties dressed in a suit walked over with a slight frown.

Judging by his attire, he should be the hotel's lobby manager?
