Chapter 56 Candlelit Dinner (1/2)
After Xiao Bing had his breakfast alone, he went to work in the noodle house. The best choice for the expansion was to directly build it based on the original structure. If Xiao Bing had insisted, he could have acquired the transfer contract last night.
Su Xiaoxiao came over while she was having a lunch break. Xiao Bing thought she was still angry. But to his surprise, she seemed to be tepid as usual. She still talked to him. It turned out that she planned to have lunch here with her friends. But there were too many people, so she left soon after.
Xiao Bing was less busy till 2 pm and finally there were a few empty tables. Everyone could take a short break.
Zhu Liya appeared at the door, which did not surprise Xiao Bing. He just helped her today, so it was reasonable for her to come here to say thanks to him.
She was wearing a sexy black lace dress, black silk stockings and high heels, which made her look like a seductive but noble queen.
As soon as she walked in, she got quite a lot of attention. Li Hong and Zhang Jing even whispered, ”Humph, what a whore.”
Some women were beautiful in a friendly way. But it was not the same with Zhu Liya. Her sexiness and beauty easily made other women hostile to her.
Seemingly accustomed to it, Zhu Liya ignored these men's ogling eyes and walked up to Xiao Bing. ”Thanks for helping me last night. Can I invite you to have dinner at my home tonight?”
Li Hong and Zhang Jing were eavesdropping. Dumbass just walked out of the kitchen and suddenly he shouted, ”Jesus, you two are dating behind Yezi...”
Xiao Bing raised his leg and kicked him back. Dumbass rolled on the ground for a few seconds and murmured after he stood up, ”My mother said it's adultery when a man is dating another woman behind his wife's back...”
Xiao Bing laughed, ”This whelp... Mrs. Zhu, I hope you don't mind.”
”It's okay. If your girlfriend will misunderstand, then just forget it.”
”No, she won't. She's a reasonable person.” Xiao Bing contemplated for a while and smiled, ”Your invitation is accepted. I remember where you live. When should I arrive?”
”Whenever you deem appropriate.”
”How about 5?”
”Good. Since you're busy, I'll leave first then.” Zhu Liya turned around and walked out slowly. Many male customers' eyes followed her but finally they had to draw back their sights.
Zhang Jing snorted, ”Brother Bing, how can you blame Dumbass for saying something right. He was speaking the truth. She looks exactly like a whore.”
”Yeah!” Li Hong asked curiously. ”Isn't she the new owner of the building next to our noodle house? Brother Bing, you have already hooked up with her?”
Xiao Bing cleared his throat, ”Choose your words carefully. I just came to know her, we're not hooking up...”
”From my point of view, Li Hong's right. She's flirting with you. She dresses like a whore but pretends to be an untouchable goddess. By the way, she said you helped her. What exactly did you do for her?”
Xiao Bing put up a bitter smile. ”Just do your job now. I'll tell you later.”
He was afraid that they would still ask questions if he told them he lent her money, so he decided not to tell them.
”Whatever. Don't let her steal your heart.”
Looking indignant, the two girls were still grumbling. Xiao Bing ignored them and called Yezi and told her about the invitation. Since Yezi was a sensible woman, she did not forbid him from going. She just mocked him for a few seconds.
At half-past four, Xiao Bing left the noodle house. He was thinking of things he should buy as a guest. So he bought a few pounds of fruit. But when he arrived at her door, he was doubting if he should do this. After all, she was a married woman and he just beat up her husband.
But retreating was never his way of doing things, since he was already at her door. He was definitely not afraid of that ugly man.
Xiao Bing knocked on the door and soon it was answered. Zhu Liya was wearing the same dress, but she changed her high heels for slippers. She wiped off the sweat on her head upon seeing Xiao Bing. She put up an unusual smile and said, ”Come on in. I just finished cooking. I don't know if you will like it. But at least give it a try.”
”Haha, how can I refuse the food made by a beauty?” Xiao Bing regretted at once after he said that. ”Damn, I was a man of righteousness in front of Zhang Gui yesterday. Why do I sound like a rascal now?”
