Chapter 020: Fright

With her daughter being so excellent, having a couple of suitors is very normal. Hence, Mrs.Lin decided not to make a big fuss over such a small matter. As long as she looked over her daughter closely, everything would be fine.

“Who says I cannot give a treat? Are you looking down on auntie just because I run a small business?” Mrs Lin said.

“Auntie, please do not misunderstand. What I’m trying to say is that running a business is hard work. Furthermore, Hanhan has to help out at the stall everyday after school. We would feel embarrassed to be eating free food when our classmate is working hard to earn money. In addition, Fatty is buying me dinner. If auntie does not let us pay for the food, we can only come back another time.” Cheng Yu was heartbroken to see Lin Yuhan soaked in sweat. In the morning, she would be spending all her time studying and in the evening, she had to help out at the stall right after school ended.

“That’s right! Auntie, today I am buying Boss dinner. If you give us free food, I would still have to go somewhere else to treat Boss another day.”

Mrs.Lin furrowed her eyebrows after hearing Fatty call Cheng Yu, “Boss”, consistently and thought that these two punk and those hooligans outside are all the same. However, seeing that they are so adamant to not let her treat them, she decided not to talk about it anymore.

“If that’s the case, I shall not insist anymore. Student Cheng, I wonder if our Yuhan mentioned to you about coming over to my house to have a meal so as to thank you for what you did. This time you cannot reject my offer, if not I will not have any face left.”

“Keke. Auntie, I would definitely not reject. Hanhan asked me this morning when we were in school and I told her that I am free tomorrow. I wonder if Auntie is free tomorrow.” Cheng Yu smilingly replied.

“That would be perfect. Tomorrow auntie shall not set up the stall to free up my time. You can come over with Yuhan then.”

“Okay!” Chen Yu and Fatty looked for an empty table and sat down right after.

“Boss, why is auntie’s attitude towards you suddenly a 180-degree change? What did you do to her? Wasn’t she showing you attitude last night?”

“This is something that you will never ever comprehend. It’s something only someone who is as suave and handsome like me will ever understand.”

(TL Feldyyy – Totally something Suave-Ge would say)

Seeing that Boss is so capable and trying to be secretive, it might be something that he should not know. Hence, he decided not to ask further even though he was very curious as to what happened the previous night.

A moment later, Lin Yu Han served four big bowls of food to the duo’s table. As they had ordered too much food, she had to use four bowls to contain them.

“Hanhan, are you hungry? Do you want to share some of the food with us?” Cheng Yu asked the sweating Lin Yuhan.

“It’s alright. You guys continue. There is still a lot of customers.” Seeing that Cheng Yu was so concerned about her, she was secretly delighted and quickly turned around and walked towards the other customers.

Looking at the steaming hot food that he had never tried before, he did not speak anymore as he lowered his head and started to gobble down the food. After approximately forty minutes, the two of them finally finished up the contents in the four big bowls.

Patting his belly, Fatty asked, “Boss, are you still hungry? Do you still want any more food?”

“Do you think I’m like you? After eating so much, do you think that I am able to eat anymore?” Cheng Yu replied as he helplessly looked at Fatty.

“I’ve already told you not to order so much. Look at the state you are in now.” Lin Yuhan walked over the moment Cheng Yu spoke.

“Hanhan, how can you blame me? Don’t you know that I would lose all my reasoning whenever I am around you?” Cheng Yu leaned on the table as he grinned at her.

“Tsk. Can’t be bothered with you. The total amount is sixty-six dollars.” Lin Yuhan stretched out her hand towards Cheng Yu.

“Didn’t I say that Fatty is treating today? How can you ask me for money?”

“That’s right! Classmate Lin, you are looking down on me.” Fatty patted his stomach and said unsatisfactorily.

“You are a pig. He asks you to pay for him and you really pay for him? Pay up!” Lin Yuhan retorted angrily when she heard what Fatty said.

“Classmate Lin, don’t be angry. Here’s the money!” Fatty took out a hundred dollars note and gave it to Lin Yu Han.

“Keep the change!” Cheng Yu shouted after her.

Fatty almost puked out all his food when he heard what Chen Yu shouted and embarrassingly replied, “B.. Boss… That isn’t a.. a very good idea.”

“Here’s the money! Hurry up and leave! Seeing the two of you makes me angry!” Lin Yuhan handed the change back to Fatty.

Reaching home, he saw the family of three watching tv. “Cousin, help me pour a cup of tea. I’m bloated and am not able to move due to eating too much for dinner.” Cheng Yu said as he sat on the sofa.
