2786 Being Jealous (2/2)

Gu Xijiu was astonished. She tilted her head to have a look at the other lady's expression. The lady gasped in disbelief, as her presence was completely ignored.

Gu Xijiu did not mind that he was touching her hand, as long as the lady was annoyed. What intrigued her most was the sudden change of the young man's attitude towards her needs. He was exceptionally patient with her.

If he had to take other people's table manners and hygiene so personally every time he sat with someone else, he would be so busy clearing someone else's mess every time he ate. Gu Xijiu actually felt sorry for him. ”Young man, being too compulsive is a burden in life. It will not do you any good,” she told him while gently tapping his shoulder.

The young man remained quiet, and Gu Xijiu no longer cared about him. It was time for her to go. ”May I have the bill please?”

The owner approached her hurriedly. ”That will be 3,006 spiritual stones.”

Gu Xijiu reached her back pocket to take out her purse, only to realize that it was no longer there. The owner's friendly face slowly faded. If Gu Xijiu refused to pay for the food, he would need to work for at least a month to make up for the loss.

”Lady, what happened?”

Gu Xijiu awkwardly replied, ”My purse is gone.”

The owner was offended. ”Are you making up reasons to eat for free?”

Gu Xijiu never thought that someday she would experience such embarrassment by having her purse stolen. She did not even know when it was taken away.
