Seeing Xue Bing’s actions, the somber look Lu Tianxing had been pretending to wear vanished without a trace, replaced by a face full of helplessness. He realized that all the won around him seed to be a bunch of female hooligans. Lin Yafei was like this, Rose was like this, and now Xue Bing had beco like this too, utterly fierce.
Noticing the helpless expression on Lu Tianxing’s face, Xue Bing imdiately bead with a bright smile, radiant as a flower.
"Isn’t this better? I gave you a chance, but you didn’t dare to touch . Who’s to bla? So, from now on, you better listen to obediently, or else, I’ll tell your wife what you did to last night, and you can just wait for your doom!"
Xue Bing’s smile grew bigger, and she glanced at Lu Tianxing smugly, like a noble and proud peacock.
"Officer Xue, you win."
Lu Tianxing surrendered helplessly, feeling utterly trapped by Xue Bing, yet unable to do anything about it. He didn’t dare to make a move against Xue Bing because if Bai Zhiqing found out, he’d be in deep trouble.
"Of course."
Xue Bing glanced at Lu Tianxing, with a victorious smile on her face, she started the car and drove away from Bai’s Group.
However, Lu Tianxing, who had already turned his gaze out the window, didn’t notice the look of sadness and envy flashing in Xue Bing’s eyes as she turned away.
Actually, in Xue Bing’s heart, she clearly understood that the reason Lu Tianxing so easily compromised and surrendered wasn’t because of her words, but because Lu Tianxing cared too much about Bai Zhiqing. Or rather, Lu Tianxing loved Bai Zhiqing too much and didn’t want Bai Zhiqing to hear about these things and get hurt. That was why he cared whether or not Xue Bing would tell Bai Zhiqing.
Otherwise, if Lu Tianxing didn’t love Bai Zhiqing, he wouldn’t care about her threats. After all, if I don’t care about you, what others say with you has nothing to do with .
At this mont, Xue Bing couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy in her heart. For a woman, no woman doesn’t hope to find a man who cares and cherishes her. She was no exception, longing for a man who loved and protected her. Although Lu Tianxing was a playboy, his care and concern for Bai Zhiqing were genuine and from the heart. This would be incredibly attractive to any woman.
The entire car cabin fell into silence, filled only with the sound of the car engine. Neither Lu Tianxing nor Xue Bing spoke as they drove towards a Western restaurant nad Arch of Triumph.
Arch of Triumph Western Restaurant was quite famous in Modu, reportedly the most authentic Western restaurant in the city. All the dishes were said to be carefully crafted by top-notch foreign chefs, offering you an unparalleled culinary experience. But correspondingly, its prices were extrely high. A decent Western al could cost a mid-range inco white-collar worker a month’s salary. If that worker wanted to have so wine, they’d likely see a year’s salary vanish.
The entire Arch of Triumph Western Restaurant was exquisitely decorated, instantly enveloping you in an aura of upscale luxury upon entry. Inside, young n and won with an air of confidence sat at tables, discussing things in low voices.
At a table near the window, Lu Tianxing and Xue Bing sat facing each other. However, Lu Tianxing felt uneasy, as if sitting on pins and needles.
And the reason for his discomfort was that Xue Bing sat across from him, resting her chin on her hands, staring at him silently with her beautiful eyes, making his scalp tingle.
Furthermore, this scene had started as soon as they entered the restaurant, and had lasted for several minutes. Xue Bing kept looking at Lu Tianxing in resentnt, like a woman abandoned by her husband, making Lu Tianxing doubt whether he really did sothing unforgivable to Xue Bing last night.
Finally, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but speak, "Officer Xue, could you stop looking at like that? You’re making it seem like I abandoned you."
"Isn’t that the case?"
Xue Bing glanced at Lu Tianxing, saying, "Lu Tianxing, I’ve examined you up and down, inside and out, and I didn’t find anything attractive about you. How co won are so drawn to you, despite knowing you’re a scoundrel, and throw themselves at you like moths to a fla?"
Listening to Xue Bing’s words, Lu Tianxing said with a resigned face, "Officer Xue, that’s slander, alright? What do you an I’m a scoundrel? I’m talking about true love here!"
"True love?"
Xue Bing’s face showed a mocking smile. "If it’s true love, then explain to what’s going on with all those won around you."
Surprised by Xue Bing’s words, Lu Tianxing paused briefly, then looked at Xue Bing and chuckled, "Officer Xue, are you jealous?"
"I’m definitely jealous; what’s wrong with that? You’re my man now. My man has several won outside. Shouldn’t I be allowed to be jealous?"
Xue Bing glared at Lu Tianxing with her beautiful eyes, fiercely saying, "Lu Tianxing, let tell you, last night we agreed that from now on, I’m your woman. And from now on, only I have the right to abandon you, not the other way around. If you dare to abandon , watch out, I’ll crush your balls and turn you into an eunuch forever, then surround you with beautiful won dancing and stripping in front of you, making you able to watch but not touch."
Lu Tianxing smiled bitterly upon hearing Xue Bing’s words, this lady was still as fierce as ever.
Xue Bing glanced at Lu Tianxing with satisfaction, ignoring his expression, then waved at a nearby waiter and began ordering the al.
After easily ordering the dishes, Xue Bing requested a bottle of ’83 Lafite. This wine is quite valuable, causing the young lady responsible for ordering to instantly beam with a smile.
Once the young lady left, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but say, "Officer Xue, you’ve struck it rich, huh? Ordering a bottle of ’83 Lafite—it’s too lavish! Your Yanhuang Group has such great perks, why not introduce into it?"
Despite ’83 Lafite not being as tops as ’82, its price is still not to be underestimated. A bottle of ’83 Lafite costs at least ten thousand a bottle, and combined with the dishes Xue Bing ordered, it adds up to almost twenty thousand, which is equivalent to the average person’s inco for over half a year.
"I’m lavish? No, it’s you who are lavish." Xue Bing smiled as she listened to Lu Tianxing.
"Officer Xue, what do you an by that? Don’t scare , I don’t have money."
Seeing Xue Bing’s smile, Lu Tianxing inexplicably felt a twinge of fright.
"It ans you’re treating lunch today. You, a big man, and , a beautiful woman, go out for a al, do you have the nerve to let a beautiful woman pay?" Xue Bing said with a smile.
"Of course, I’m not that shaless. When a man goes out with a beauty for a al, the man should pay, but it depends on the person, right?"
"Lu Tianxing, what do you an by that?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Bing’s smile imdiately vanished, replaced by a frosty look. Was this rascal implying she wasn’t a beauty, not worth having him pay?
"Uh, no...no aning, Officer Xue, you misheard. I ant when a man goes out with a beauty for a al, who pays indeed depends on the person, but if it’s with a beauty as stunning as Officer Xue, don’t even think about it. A man must pay." Looking at Xue Bing’s about-to-erupt deanor, Lu Tianxing quickly explained.
"Hmph, good for you."
Seeing Lu Tianxing’s expression, Xue Bing’s lips curled into a faint smile, her delicate features pairing with it exhibited an unusual allure.
"Officer Xue..."
Lu Tianxing was about to say sothing when he was cut off by Xue Bing: "I’m no longer a police officer, can you stop calling Officer Xue, and switch to another title?"
"How about Miss Xue?"
"Lu Tianxing, what do you an? I’m your woman now, and you plan to call your woman Miss Xue?" Xue Bing was imdiately disgruntled upon hearing this.
Lu Tianxing was montarily speechless; it seed this little lass was set on considering herself his woman.
"Alright then! How about I call you Xiao Bing?"
"That’s more like it."
Xue Bing shot Lu Tianxing a glance, begrudgingly agreeing to this title.
Seeing that Xue Bing was not dwelling on this topic, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to Xue Bing: "Xiao Bing, you don’t like drinking wine, right? Why don’t we return that Lafite bottle?"
"Sure!"
Before Lu Tianxing finished his sentence, Xue Bing nodded in agreent: "I think this ’83 Lafite isn’t that great, how about we switch to an ’82 Petus red wine? I assu Arch of Triumph as a fad Western restaurant in Modu should have this sort of top-tier wine!"
"Oh gosh."
Upon hearing Xue Bing’s words, Lu Tianxing almost spat blood. This girl is truly ruthless, planning to make him wash dishes here for a lifeti?
Everyone knows Lafite is one of the world’s top wines, especially 82 Lafite being the best, but Petus isn’t far behind, also being among the top tier. It’s just less recognized due to its lower production.
Although it’s not as famous as Lafite, Petus is acknowledged as the king of wines. Its ticulous dedication to quality sets Petus above many wine estates, coupled with its low yield, its price is extrely steep.
The ’82 Petus Xue Bing ntioned could totally be considered a top-tier red wine, a bottle of which could easily drain a high earner’s year-long salary.
