Chapter 231: Making a Loss (2/2)

“Eh, I guess. Well, I’m going!”

“Mn. Bye bye~~”

After I bade Lin Yixin goodbye, I summoned Gui Guzi and tossed the Level 75 Dark Gold–grade Bloodbreak Spear to him. The weapon was even stronger than the Golden Scale Bow, and I estimated that it was worth 20k RMB at least if I had turned it into the auction house. Teary-eyed, Gui Guzi promised solemnly, “Boss, I’ll treat you to a whole week of beef steaks after I earn enough cash…”

I shivered. OMG, he can’t think that a beef steak is fancy, can he? It looks like it's time to update my workshop’s common sense!

I noticed that I was 10 minutes late after sending Gui Guzi away, so I quickly logged out and took off my helmet.

I sucked in a deep breath. It was incredibly tiring to game for a prolonged period of time, and my stomach was rumbling like a drum. I put on a set of new clothes and walked out of the room. The three girls were already dressed up and waiting for me in the living room.

……

“What took you so long, Lu Chen? Were you trying to woo a girl or something?” Murong Mingyue questioned me.

I was dumbfounded. “Woo a girl in ten minutes? Are you sure you’re talking about girls, not kindergarten children?”

Beside Murong Mingyue, He Yi rose to her feet with a smile. “Alright, alright. Let’s go get dinner already, shall we? It’s been a while since I went to a buffet…”

“Mn!”

I nodded, but I couldn’t help but stare at He Yi a couple seconds longer than was polite. Once again, my beautiful boss managed to make me admire her from the bottom of my heart. She normally wore uniforms that gave her the air of an office lady, but tonight she was wearing a white jacket, a coffee-colored short skirt and a pair of brown leather boots. The pale legs beneath the fabric were attractive to say the least. Also, the temperature was cooler as of late, so her outfit made her look both beautiful and charming.

“Hehe, do I look good?” He Yi gathered her skirt on purpose as a smile crept up on her face.

What else could I say before a top-class beauty like her? I nodded and complimented her, “Mn. You’re beautiful no matter what you wear, sis…”

Murong Mingyue shot me a disdainful look and teased me. “I know that she’s your boss, but you don’t have to be that blatant with your compliments. Also, did you forget that Beiming Xue and I are here as well?”

I gave her a nod and complimented her, “You’re pretty, your whole family’s pretty…”

“...”

He Yi giggled at our antics. “Alright, let’s go!”

……

We entered Murong Mingyue’s A8 with me as the driver. On the streets, the girls were the flower, and I, the fresh leaves that complemented their beauty. At least I wasn’t so ugly that I might be compared to the dirt on the ground.

Beiming Xue sat on the front passenger seat, while He Yi and Murong Mingyue sat in the back. She stared at my face for a moment before bursting into a giggle. “Big bro, you look so serious when you’re driving. Your side view actually reminds me of a celebrity!”

He Yi asked interestedly, “Who?”

I chanted inside my head. “Wang Leehom! Wang Leehom! Wang Leehom!”

Beiming Xue: “He reminds me of Ng Man-tat!”

“POOO…”

The cola Murong Mingyue was drinking burst out of her mouth and onto my collar. He Yi immediately took out a tissue and wiped my clothes and my face as clean as she could. This time, it was Murong Mingyue’s turn to be dumbfounded by her reaction. “Eve, is it just me, or does it look like you’ve practiced this a thousand times in the past?”

He Yi was silent. Everyone fell silent as well.

……

Home Late Restaurant was the only somewhat high-class buffet restaurant in the area. Each meal was priced at 200 RMB per person, and it was one of the places that Du Thirteen and I swore to visit at least once in our lives.

We entered the restaurant and submitted our tickets. The moment I saw the endless variety of food in front of me, I charged toward the table and threw every kind of meat into my plate like my life depended on it. Golden crabs, deep sea fish, rabbits. Not one slice of green could be spotted on my plate at all.

I checked out He Yi’s plate when I sat down next to her. My first thought was that it was way too eco-friendly.

Murong Mingyue seemed dumbfounded by the mountain of meat I had placed on my plate. She said, “Lu Chen, are you sure you want to eat so much meat in one go? Don’t say I didn’t warn you if you’re full in just a couple of minutes! Remember, it costs 200 RMB just to get inside this place!”

Her worries were unfounded. “Relax!”

There was about a kilogram of meat on my plate, and I finished it all in no time. Then, I got to my feet and went hunting for new food. All three girls were shocked by my capacity.

While I was busy chowing down my food, my phone suddenly rang without warning. I gave it a look. It was an unknown number from Beijing.

“Hello, who’s this?”

“Hello, is this Falling Dust?”
