271: Chapter 269 Too Unworthy (1st Update) 271: Chapter 269 Too Unworthy (1st Update) Half an hour later, in front of a delicately decorated Sha County Snacks in the center of Modu City, a Bentley with its front headlight smashed and scrape marks on the right side of the body drove slowly from a distance, stopping at the entrance of the snack bar, drawing quite a few sideways glances from the passersby.
A fairly handso man, clutching his arm and grimacing in pain, got out of the passenger seat of the Bentley, his face colored with lingering fear.
This was close to deadly.
Lu Tianxing vowed that from now on, he’d rather die than tease Bai Zhiqing in the car again.
It was practically like gambling with one’s life, no different from dancing on the edge of a knife.
The car had just slamd into the guardrail at the side of the road, and if it hadn’t been for his quick reflex to pull the handbrake in ti, the damage might not have been as simple as a smashed headlight and a few scrapes.
Bai Zhiqing also got out of the driver’s side, her pretty face sporting a look of shock.
At the sight of Lu Tianxing, she imdiately glared at him furiously, blaming this guy.
If it weren’t for his roving eyes in the car, how could such an incident have occurred.
“Sha County Snacks, it’s very famous in China, the taste is really good.
Wife, why did you bring here, are you treating to breakfast?”
Looking at the bustling Sha County Snacks before him, Lu Tianxing also felt a wave of hunger—he seed to have missed breakfast today!
“Keep dreaming, if you want to eat, pay for it yourself.”
Bai Zhiqing gave Lu Tianxing a disdainful glance, this jerk had given her such a scare, and he still expected her to treat him?
His skin was ridiculously thick.
“Wife, what kind of talk is that?
Spouses are one family, you’re being too estranged with that kind of talk.
Who are we to each other, after all?”
Lu Tianxing chuckled mischievously, completely unconcerned by Bai Zhiqing’s disdainful look as he admired her pert derriere, following closely behind her into the snack bar.
Upon entering Sha County Snacks and walking side by side with Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing truly understood one phrase: A beauty draws eyes wherever she goes, and without a stout heart, you should never walk on the sa road with a beauty, because you’d find that you’ve beco the target of public scrutiny.
As Bai Zhiqing stepped into the snack bar, her cool and elegant exterior, icy deanor, and tall figure instantly beca the center of attention, drawing the gazes of countless n in the main hall—the once lively space suddenly grew quiet.
Walking alongside Bai Zhiqing, however, Lu Tianxing felt extrely uncomfortable, because apart from the looks of infatuation directed at Bai Zhiqing, the n’s glares at him were filled with naked hostility, as if they were ready to tear him to pieces.
Being too pretty was a sin, and it was also a sin for the n beside them.
Those without strong ntal fortitude would inevitably collapse sooner or later.
Lu Tianxing even began to suspect that, with just a word from Bai Zhiqing, the n in the hall might actually beat him up.
After much difficulty, they found an empty spot in the corner, where Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing sat facing each other.
Lu Tianxing looked earnestly at Bai Zhiqing and said, “Wife, from now on, I’ve decided I’m never going out to dine with you again.”
“Why?”
Bai Zhiqing was puzzled.
Was it embarrassing to go out with her?
With a mournful expression, Lu Tianxing said, “Why, you have the nerve to ask why?
Just look at the n around us, they all seem like they want to devour .
If I keep going out with you, I might not have a life left.
It’s not worth it to risk my life just to have a al with a beauty.”
“Hmph, consider this a warning to you.
From now on, behave yourself.
Otherwise, with just one word from , the number of n wanting to marry could line up for several streets.”
The corners of Bai Zhiqing’s mouth curved in a faint smile, like ice and snow lting, eliciting another round of exclamations from those around.
“Line up for several streets?
Do you think you’re like hundred dollar bills that everyone is after?” mused Lu Tianxing to himself, though he wisely kept the comnt unsaid.
Instead, he called the server over and ordered two bowls of large dumplings, ready to taste the flavor of Sha County Snacks.
When the dumplings were served, without waiting for Bai Zhiqing to speak, Lu Tianxing picked up a bowl and started wolfing them down, and he had to admit—the taste of Sha County Snacks was indeed very good.
Watching Lu Tianxing gobble down the food, Bai Zhiqing felt an inexplicable pang in her heart, certain that he must have suffered inside; otherwise, how could a grown man disregard his image so completely?
If Lu Tianxing knew what Bai Zhiqing was thinking, he’d surely burst out laughing, then pinch Bai Zhiqing’s face and say, “Little sis, you have quite the imagination.”
“Slow down, slow down,” Bai Zhiqing said softly.
“Wife, you should eat faster, it really tastes good.”
Lu Tianxing uttered a muffled sound, quickly devouring the stead dumplings until his stomach roundly welcod them.
After putting down his bowl, Lu Tianxing casually wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and looked up to find Bai Zhiqing’s dumplings untouched, and asked in surprise, “Wife, aren’t you eating?”
“I…”
Bai Zhiqing was about to say sothing when the dumplings before her eyes vanished without a trace.
“Wife, if you weren’t going to eat them, you should’ve said sothing earlier.
I’ll eat them; they won’t be good once they get cold.”
Lu Tianxing unapologetically took the dumplings in front of Bai Zhiqing and ate them with gusto.
Bai Zhiqing opened her mouth, her face turning an ashen shade as she watched Lu Tianxing, her hands tightly clasped together.
When had she ever said she wasn’t going to eat?
If it weren’t for being in a crowded place, Bai Zhiqing would have jumped up and given Lu Tianxing a good beating.
“Those dumplings were mine,” Bai Zhiqing said through gritted teeth, the previous sorrow in her heart swept away, thinking this bastard was just as annoying as always.
“Uh.”
Lu Tianxing blinked, puzzled: “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to eat?”
“Who said I didn’t want to eat?
Did you even let finish speaking?”
Bai Zhiqing felt a fire brewing in her stomach.
The bastard was becoming more and more irritating to look at.
She knew she should’ve locked him up for a few more days.
“How about I give them back to you?”
Lu Tianxing thought for a mont, reluctantly handing the bowl back to Bai Zhiqing.
Looking at the bowl with only two or three dumplings left, Bai Zhiqing angrily said, “Get lost.”
Lu Tianxing chuckled dryly, placed the bowl down, and called out to the waiter: “Waiter, add five more bowls of dumplings here, make it quick, and don’t skimp on the portion.
Money is no object.”
“Are you a pig?”
Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing speechlessly.
Five large bowls would be enough for her to eat all day.
“Hehe, you have to eat well to work hard.”
Lu Tianxing gave Bai Zhiqing a suggestive look, emphasizing the word “work.”
Bai Zhiqing was stunned for a mont, then quickly caught on, her face turning dark as she said, “Go to hell!
Eat until you die.”
After saying that, Bai Zhiqing stood up and stord off towards the exit.
Watching Bai Zhiqing’s retreating back, Lu Tianxing was montarily stunned before shouting after her, “Wife, we haven’t settled the bill yet!
You’re not making pay by myself, are you?
I don’t have any money.”
Bai Zhiqing turned around and threw down a few hundred-dollar bills.
Her high heels clicked against the floor as she walked out of the shop, got straight into her Bentley, and drove away.
Seeing the money on the table, Lu Tianxing chuckled to himself, not minding that Bai Zhiqing had left.
He sat back down to enjoy the delicious food.
It had to be said, the dumplings tasted really good, and the portion was generous too.
Here’s the first update; unless there’s an accident, I’ll post five chapters today, 🙂
