Chapter 475 - You Bully Me (1/2)
Chu Yue was immediately turned off by his cheesy pick-up line, and her gut instinct told her to brush him off. But an idea popped up in her mischievous mind—she could use the man to test Xiao Luo, she thought. Chu Yue could not believe that Xiao Luo didn’t feel for her.
“Oh? Does it really taste that unique? I must try it then.”
Chu Yue moved closer to the man on purpose, lifted the glass of margarita, and took a sip. “Mmm, it is really good!” she exclaimed.
The man was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. He was visibly delighted with Chu Yue’s reaction. He did not expect that the attractive girl in front of him would take the bait so readily. His brazen eyes pored over Chu Yue licentiously and asked, “This is your first time in a bar, isn’t it?”
“How do you know that?” Chu Yue said, surprised.
The man in the Hawaiian shirt chuckled. “Because I am good at physiognomy,” he replied.
He moved his chair closer to Chu Yu, and he was literally all over her. Chu Yue furrowed her brows as the man’s breath reeked of alcohol, and she felt the urge to push him away. However, when she caught sight of Xiao Luo out of the corner of her eye, she was utterly disappointed. There was no expression on Xiao Luo’s face; in fact, he looked disinterested and seemed to be unconcerned that she was cozying up to another man. Chu Yue seethed and started to hold a grudge against Xiao Luo.
Watching closely, Xiang Gaojian became agitated and had rage written all over his face. He was ready to step in to teach the guy a lesson, but Xiang Gaoyang raised his hand and stopped him.
Xiang Gaoyang was good at observing people, and he was much more aware of the chemistry between a man and a woman than Xiang Gaojian. It was evident that their young mistress was putting up a show for Xiao Luo. The only person who needed to step forward and stop her was Xiao Luo and not either of them. It wasn’t a wise move on their part to hold Miss Chu back, or she would most definitely make their lives a living hell later on.
Chu Yue put up with the suggestive signals that the man in the Hawaiian shirt was giving her and pretended to act curious. “Oh, you can perform physiognomy?”
“Yeah yeah, that’s right. I’m not only good at physiognomy, but also palmistry.”
The man boasted and sniggered excitedly. “How about you let me have a look at your hand? I can tell you about your love life and your future luck, they’re accurate,” he said.
“Great, then tell me about my love life!” Chu Yue replied, extending her palm to him.
Chu Yue stole a glance at Xiao Luo, sitting beside her, as she held her fair and delicate hand out.
The man in the Hawaiian shirt took her hand, ran his thumb across her palm, and chuckled. “You have a very long heart line, and it has lots of thin branches that are intertwined with the fate line, that means your Mr. Right has arrived, and he is in this bar,” he declared.
“Who is it? Who is it?”
Chu Yue asked excitedly and seemed totally taken by the trickster in the Hawaiian shirt. Of course, what she really hoped for was rather for him to mention Xiao Luo’s name.
“Seemingly far away, but close at hand!”
The man in the Hawaiian shirt threw his head sideways, flicking the bangs covering his forehead. “Miss, your Mr. Right is me, it could only be fate that brought us here together in this sea of faces. The moment I laid eyes on your beautiful face, you captured my heart,” he said.
“Hahaha …” Chu Yue smiled nervously as soon as she heard that. She immediately lost interest in pursuing her charade and pulled her hand away. Then, she sheepishly continued sipping on the margarita.
The man in the Hawaiian shirt suddenly put his hand on Chu Yue’s shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
Chu Yue bolted up in shock. She couldn’t pretend any longer and screamed, “What the hell are you doing?”
The man in the Hawaiian shirt did not let Chu Yue go but pulled her even closer. He laughed and became more obnoxious. “Miss, do you know what it means by ‘putting seven fishbones on a leaf?’” he uttered salaciously.
Chu Yue was shocked and exasperated. “I don’t know, let go of me now,” she hissed.
“Well, I’ll tell you if you don’t know.”
