Chapter 59 I Donst Have a Wife at All! (1/2)
The next day, Xiao Bing was busy with the work in the noodle house, still feeling wronged. As the business in the noodle house got better, the need for an expansion became more and more urgent. After a long day in the noodle house, Xiao Bing and Yezi began to search for a suitable place downtown.
Xiao Bing had already marked off Zhu Liya's shop from his list since he did not like to take advantage of others. But he still thought it would be better if it was near the university town. On one hand, the large stream of people ensured that there would be customers. On the other hand, it was not far from the present one, which made it convenient for old customers. Lastly, it was near his home.
Though his choices were limited, it would take quite some effort to find a perfect one. They walked from street to street while taking notice of the shops which were being sold.
”I don't think we can find a suitable one tonight,” sighed Yezi, ”It will much easier if she can sell it to you. There will be no customer loss if we can build one based on the original structure. And I think the present location is the best.”
”I know that,” said Xiao Bing with a bitter smile.
”It's all because you care too much about her feelings.” Yezi rolled her eyes at Xiao Bing. She still looked cute when she was angry. ”If you weren't so protective of her, she would have given you the restaurant even if she was not willing to give herself to you as a reward for that 100 thousand.”
Smiling bitterly, Xiao Bing rubbed his nose. Yezi stood on her tiptoes and folded her hands on her back. Smiling, she stared at him, ”Brother Xiao, you don't have a crush on her, right?”
”Of course I don't.” Xiao Bing was terrified and patted his chest while taking a vow, ”I swear to god that I don't have any affection for her. And I'm willing to be punished by God if I'm lying.”
But the lust he had for her was real.
Yezi seemed to be amused. She deliberately snorted, ”Who knows if you are lying? The sun would rise from the west if men's words could be trusted.”
Seeing Yezi being this witty, Xiao Bing could not help reaching out his hands. However, when he was going to touch Yezi's fingertips, Yezi suddenly screamed, ”Help! This man just sexually assaulted me!”
Xiao Bing was startled and put back his hands. But then all he saw was Yezi jumping up and down, which made Xiao Bing's heart pump fast.
Men always lusted for women. No man could still remain unmoved when seeing a naked woman. But it was just physical desire. Their true love could only be shown to a specific woman. And Xiao Bing's true love was Yezi.
It was a peculiar feeling which contained happiness, worry, sweetness, and bitterness. It could make a man as shy as a teenage boy.
A lot of people looked over here. Yezi burst into laughter when she stared at the startled Xiao Bing. He came to himself and found himself being glanced at by others. He wished that there was a hole in the ground so that he could hide in it.
Yezi stuck her tongue out and loudly said to the people who were watching, ”I'm sorry. I was just kidding...”
The bystanders all walked away with gentle smiles on their faces, since it was just a joke between lovers. But almost every man took an extra glimpse at Yezi. Some even looked back when they were already far away.
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly, ”Yezi, I don't know what I should say to you.”
”Haha. Just a small price for being faithless.”
”I swear that you are the only woman I will ever love.” Xiao Bing's eyes seemed sincere and dynamic. Only when a big boy was looking at a girl of whom he had long been dreaming of, would his eyes seem that way.
”I know.” Yezi smiled and held his hand, which pacified his heart.
Yezi said while smiling, ”You asshole. If you ever cheat on me and see other women behind my back. I will walk on the streets and shout that I'm your mistress.”
Seeing Xiao Bing becoming startled, Yezi laughed again.
While Xiao Bing was about to speak, he suddenly saw Zhang Gui coming this way with a seductively-dressed woman in his arms. Yezi followed his gaze and asked, ”Brother Xiao, what are you looking at?”
”That guy... is the husband of the owner of the restaurant next to our noodle house.”
”Seriously?” Yezi sized him up and found him a short, ugly and smirking man. The woman with heavy makeup looked exactly like a whore. But Zhang Gui seemingly did not notice these two. He kept walking towards them while talking to the woman with a libertine smile on his face.
Yezi asked, ”Is she Zhu Liya? She is even worse than what I thought.”
Indeed, anyone at first glance could find that this woman was completely beautified by make-up even if there was still some distance. She was wriggling while walking, which made people strengthen their belief that she was a whore.
”No.”
”What?”
There was slight anger in his eyes. But he said in a casual tone, ”She's not the owner. But this man is her husband.”
”Really?” Yezi was shocked and infuriated. ”His wife just saved him with 100 thousand and he still messes with his mistress?”
Grinning, Xiao Bing said, ”She might be his mistress or a whore. Anyway, he's just a piece of junk. Let's go. We have nothing to do with their family affairs. Not even good officials can settle family troubles.”
