Chapter 343 - A Perfect Woman (2/2)

”May I have your order, sir?” The respectful voice really makes one feel like one was an emperor.

”Give me a portion of steak, medium well, and a glass of good wine.” Then, he pointed his finger at Chu Lui. ”Put it on his tab.” Chu Lui just continued eating his food, without blinking an eye.

The waiter noted everything down before bowing. ”Please wait a moment.”

Du Jingtang extended his long legs out and took the opportunity to stretch lazily. ”Cousin, you won't be so stingy to refuse to treat me a meal, right? It's not that expensive anyway. A hair from you could pay for a hundred meals.” He put down his hand and lifted his chin.

”And it's not the first time anyway.”

”Leave if you speak another word.” Chu Lui spoke, without any inflection in his voice. Du Jingtang retracted his hand, bored. Eating with Chu Lui really gave one indigestion; the air was so dull.

Du Jingtang's food arrived very soon. He wanted to attack the food with his hands like how a hungry ghost wanted to be reincarnated. He did not eat much in the morning, and so he was going to compensate for it now. Chu Lui just gave him an indifferent stare. He was already used to it—he was always like this.

”Stop looking at me, Cousin. You won't get full looking at me anyway.” Du Jingtang's face broadened into a grin. He wasn't steak, and so why look at him? He finished saying, and his eyes returned to the plate in front of him. Everything else was thrown out of his mind. At this point, nothing was more important than food.

Li Manni lifted her chin slightly. She let out a laugh as she looked at the way Du Jingtang ate. He really was not particular about anything.

Seated not far from them, two people were discussing something as if there were no one beside them.

”Women nowadays are really something. You can know a woman's face but not her heart. Who knows what kind of intentions one holds under the kind exterior.”

Li Manni lowered her head and chewed on her food tastelessly. Every mouthful was difficult to swallow.

”Yes, well said. I totally agree.” Du Jingtang did not forget to reply while he ate.

Customer A said, ”Why do you say so? Did you get hurt by a woman before?” They were close so Chu Lui's table heard every word clearly. Of course, the 'you' here wasn't referring to Du Jingtang.

It was the conversation between the two of them. Du Jingtang was in charge of only eating as well as providing a listening ear.

”No. I was just bored, and so I spoke my mind.” Customer B, who started the conversation, said.

”Perfect women are not rare, actually,” Customer A continued. ”For example, Chu Lui's wife. She's so gentle and kind, and when they're together they look like a golden couple. They've been married for four years, and their relationship is still going well. With a wife like that, even rumors regarding the Chu Lui have quelled.”
