Chapter 285: Chapter 268: Brother Ling Is Very Proper

Ye Ling walked to the water’s edge, spoke with a staff member, and ended up spending over five hundred yuan to rent a jet ski.

"Do you know how to ride a jet ski?" Ning Ruoxi asked hesitantly.

"Haha, miss, this jet ski is a piece of cake. You just twist the throttle. It’s easier than riding a bike," a nearby staff member explained with a smile.

"No problem!"

Ye Ling also casually gave Ning Ruoxi a reassuring gesture.

After putting on the protective gear, Ye Ling got on the jet ski, while Ning Ruoxi sat behind him, her hands clutching his waist tightly.

"Don’t worry, I’m a very steady driver."

Ye Ling seemed to sense her body was a little stiff and couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.

"Just drive properly! I don’t want to flip into the water!"

Ning Ruoxi shot Ye Ling a playful glare.

"Oh?"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow.

’Is this girl looking down on me?’

’What a joke!’

’The great Brother Ling, flip a jet ski? As if.’

Well, alright.

In reality, while jet skis are relatively easy to operate, it’s not uncommon for them to capsize.

It’s mainly because some people get carried away while riding, start hotdogging, and flip into the water with one careless move.

A word of warning: you should only try jet skiing in designated areas. Without proper safety measures, it’s easy for a disaster to occur!

For example, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi had taken all the necessary safety precautions!

Not only were they wearing life jackets, but there were also numerous staff members on the water, patrolling on their own jet skis and keeping a close eye on the sea conditions.

In case of an accident, a swift rescue would be possible!

"Here we go!"

The corner of Ye Ling’s mouth curled up as he twisted the jet ski’s throttle.

WHOOSH!

The jet ski shot forward, launching toward the vast ocean like an arrow loosed from a bow.

"Ahhh—!"

Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but let out a startled cry, immediately hugging Ye Ling for dear life.

The jet ski’s acceleration was terrifyingly powerful; for a split second, Ning Ruoxi felt like she was about to be thrown off!

Feeling the girl behind him trembling, Ye Ling couldn’t help but smirk.

Okay, fine.

He had to admit it; he’d done it on purpose.

Being held so tightly by Ning Ruoxi... Ye Ling found the sensation utterly blissful.

VROOM! VROOM! VROOM!

The jet ski roared as it sped across the surface of the water.

"Slow down!"

Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but shout.

’This guy, how can he be so clueless about the mood?’

’In her mind, weren’t they supposed to ride the jet ski slowly and enjoy the scenery?’

To be fair, Ning Ruoxi was the one who had it wrong.

A jet ski isn’t a cruise ship. Isn’t the whole point of riding one for the thrill?

However, Ye Ling was only trying to tease Ning Ruoxi, so he gradually slowed down.

The jet ski glided slowly across the surface of the sea, the unique scent of the ocean filling their nostrils.

It was an especially refreshing scent!

"You big jerk, all you do is pick on me."

Ning Ruoxi, who finally dared to open her eyes, complained in a low voice.

’That jerk, he definitely did it on purpose.’

"Hehe, it’s my first time, you know," Ye Ling chuckled slyly, unhesitatingly blaming his lack of experience.

"Hmph!"

Ning Ruoxi didn’t press the issue. She just continued to hug Ye Ling’s waist, her eyes full of wonder as she took in the surrounding scenery.

’Looking back at the beach from the sea felt completely different from being on it!’

The beach was teeming with a bustling crowd, yet the sea around them was vast and empty. A feeling of freedom, of being far from the worldly clamor, bloomed in Ning Ruoxi’s heart.

It was a marvelous feeling.

Especially while holding onto Ye Ling...

It made her involuntarily recall the two Sea Cape Stones she had seen earlier at the Tianya Haijiao Scenic Area.

Perhaps.

’Is this what it feels like to roam to the ends of the earth?’

Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi spent the entire day trying almost every activity available, not leaving until the scenic area was about to close.

"Did you have fun today?"

Ye Ling asked with a soft chuckle, looking over at Ning Ruoxi as they sat in the car.

"It was so much fun!"

Ning Ruoxi exclaimed, her voice full of excitement.

Clearly, she was very satisfied with the day’s itinerary.

The main reason was that Ye Ling had handled most of the activities, so Ning Ruoxi wasn’t particularly tired.

"As long as you’re happy."

Ye Ling smiled and gently patted Ning Ruoxi’s head, then turned to the driver in the front seat. "Sir, I was wondering, are there any good places to eat and shop nearby?"

"A place to eat and shop, you say? I’d recommend the Sea Language Restaurant. It’s right next to the duty-free shops, so you can go shopping right after dinner," the driver answered immediately.

"Let’s head there, then," Ye Ling said with a nod.

After several days of eating the food provided at their ocean-view suite, both Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi were getting a bit tired of it and wanted a change of scenery.

About twenty minutes later, the black Bentley entered the city center, a bustling metropolis rivaling Modu in its prosperity.

As one of Xia Country’s premier tourist destinations, Yazhou had developed rapidly in recent years, becoming a truly modern city.

"Sir, if you need a ride back, just give me a call," the driver said, turning to Ye Ling.

And this is where the magic of money came in!

People often say money isn’t everything, but in this day and age, it can solve 99.9% of your problems, can’t it?

Take this situation, for example. If Ye Ling hadn’t spent a fortune arranging for 24-hour car service, you think you could just hail a cab here?

Good luck with that!

It’s fine when it’s not crowded, but during peak hours, you could wait half an hour for a cab!

And most importantly, the fares aren’t cheap either!

Plus, it wastes a huge amount of time.

Ye Ling had taken all this into consideration; he wasn’t just throwing money around!

His spending habits were actually quite sound: spend money where it’s needed, don’t spend where it’s not, and never be extravagant.

At this point, some keyboard warrior on the internet might start flaming him: ’You spend over ten thousand a night on a hotel, and you call that not wasteful?’

But Brother Ling would argue that the purpose of money is to enjoy better services!

Otherwise, making money would be completely meaningless.

The keyboard warriors only see that he spent over ten thousand a day, but they don’t see him enjoying a private pool and a flawless ocean-view suite...

...let alone experience the convenience of having a private car on call like Ye Ling!

If one had to put a label on it, it’s just a difference in worldview.

Different paths, different plans.

Ye Ling led Ning Ruoxi by the hand into the Sea Language Restaurant. The décor was exceptionally luxurious; one glance was enough to tell that it was not an inexpensive place.

The restaurant was quite busy, but fortunately, the concierge from their hotel had already booked a table for them while they were on the way, so they were quickly shown to a private room.

"Sir, are you ready to order?" a stunningly beautiful waitress, at least a nine out of ten, walked in and handed an ordering tablet to Ye Ling.

’Perhaps this was just part of the high-end restaurant experience?’

’All the waitresses were required to be beautiful!’

"See what you’d like to eat." Ye Ling took the tablet but didn’t order for himself, passing it to Ning Ruoxi instead.

Let the woman order first.

It was another one of those little things.

Even though his relationship with Ning Ruoxi was already very deep, these small courtesies were still necessary.

It was a matter of respect.

Just as Ning Ruoxi always made sure to preserve his dignity when they were in public, he naturally had to do the same for her.

If he took the menu and just started ordering for himself without even consulting her, how improper would that be!

"Hmm... Let me see."

Ning Ruoxi didn’t stand on ceremony. She took the tablet and glanced at it, but her heart immediately skipped a beat.

Everything on the menu was incredibly expensive. The cheapest dish was nearly thirteen hundred yuan!
