1113 Perplexed and Smitten 173 (2/2)
”I want you to take it away. Are you deaf?” he snapped with a look of disdain.
Yu Caiwei put her business card away, feeling a little disgruntled and peeved. ”You really don't know any better,” she remarked in annoyance.
”I beg your pardon?” he said, putting down his chopsticks and glowering at her.
”What's wrong with you? Aren't you just a bodyguard? I'm talking to you about business and look at that attitude you're giving me. Have you any idea how many handsome young lads are dying for a chance to work under me?”
”Psht…”
Fang Erlan would know that Xiao Chenyang was displeased whenever she hears him make that sound.
”What's up with that attitude of yours… You're just another handsome face, yet you're so haughty and ill-tempered. Forget it, since you're unwilling to work with me, I won't force you either,” said Yu Caiwei, who found that he was really arrogant.
”Can you scram now, then?”
”You…” Yu Caiwei was at a momentary loss for words. Feeling a little embarrassed, she retorted, ”This is not your home anyway. I'll sit wherever I'd like to. Who are you to intervene?”
In such circumstances, one would usually stand up and walk to another table instead of getting into a conflict with Yu Caiwei. However, Xiao Chenyang would rarely ever compromise, especially not toward people like Yu Caiwei.
He did not answer her and poured his half-finished bowl of noodles onto her head without hesitation.
All the patrons and waiters in the restaurant were dumbfounded.
Yu Caiwei shrieked and stood up, trembling uncontrollably from head to toe. She grabbed a piece of tissue paper from her assistant's hand and began wiping the noodles and soup off her head and face.
”Are you out of your mind!?!” she hollered in exasperation.
”This is not your home. I'll pour my noodles wherever I'd like. What right do you have to intervene?” Xiao Chenyang looked at the waiter and instructed, ”Serve me another bowl of noodles.”
”Alright.”
”Call the police immediately!” Yu Caiwei barked at her assistant, seething with exasperation.
Remaining calm and composed, Xiao Chenyang said, ”You'd better hurry up, then. Don't wait 'til I've finished my noodles. It won't be good if the police have yet to arrive by then. I'm really curious to find out if your fans will feel ashamed to know that you're such a disgraceful celebrity.”
Yu Caiwei was on the verge of vomiting blood upon seeing how dauntless he was when making the snide remark.
The assistant shot Yu Caiwei a glance, seemingly trying to tell her not to act rashly. Yu Caiwei grabbed her bag and began walking out of the restaurant. At the sight of them leaving, the waiter immediately yelled, ”Ms. Yu…”
She stopped in her tracks and asked angrily, ”What's the matter?”
”We've already cooked the noodles that you've ordered. You'll still have to pay up even if you're not dining in.”
”…”
In the end, she still paid up and left.

”Daddy, just what time are you coming home?” Shi Bao'er asked while sitting on the couch and holding the handset. She continued in a tone of disgruntlement, ”If you still refuse to come home, I'm going to go look for Mommy.”
”Alright, I'll get the butler to send you to your mommy's place, then. Will that do?”
Seeing that her threat did not work, Shi Bao'er had no choice but to say, ”If you don't come home in half an hour's time, you'll never see me again!”
Throughout the few days of her break from the boot camp, she had repeated those words umpteen times. However, Shi Shaochuan was not at all affected and instead completely disregarded her threats. He said nonchalantly, ”Okay, okay, okay. Hide yourself well at home. I'll come back home to look for you tonight.”
Upon hearing his words, Shi Bao'er hung up straight away, for she understood that he would definitely not be coming home within half an hour.
Shi Bao'er could not help but recall the past, the days when she had just reunited with her father. He would take her with him everywhere he went and would bring her out for delicious food and some fun. She used to think that her father really doted on her, but now…
Anger surged through her veins, and she decided that she's going to make her father regretful!
