Chapter 294: Her Name Is Rosy

A magnetic levitation vehicle was already waiting for him when Wang Tong stepped out of his dorm. Without asking a question, Wang Tong hopped straight into the car. The man in black that had ”invited” him over to Li Ruoer's residence last time sat with Wang Tong in the back seat. Despite his cold expression, the lines on his face seemed softer than the last time they met. The vehicle dropped them off in front of a luxury restaurant.
Unlike Ma Xiaoru, Li Ruoer liked anything that was labeled with the word ”luxury,” including the venue she had chosen for their dinner. Wang Tong didn't mind; he was not paying anyway.
Wang Tong strolled into the restaurant and found out that Li Ruoer had reserved the entire venue for their dinner. Wang Tong had already gotten used to her lavishness, however, he found it hard to adjust to the awkward quietness of the restaurant. Privacy and quietness were considered a luxury on earth, but Wang Tong was most afraid of silence, since it had nearly driven him into madness while he was stranded on Norton.
Wang Tong struggled to rein in the memories that threatened to break their confines and flood Wang Tong's mind. He lamented being overly sentimental every time he saw Li Ruoer.
Looking at the well-dressed Li Ruoer, Wang Tong found it hard to ignore her beauty. Stylish makeup complemented her face, and her body emanated an irresistible attraction.
All this while, Wang Tong's mind reeled as he tried to figure out if it were a trap. Anything could happen when it came down to dealing with the Enchantress.
Wang Tong had thought of many ways in which Li Ruoer might start their dinner date, including a roomful of men in black. However, he didn't expect to be greeted with an attractive and amiable princess.
”Why don't you sit down, you silly?” Li Ruoer said in a tender voice.
The curve of her lips had complimented her elegant facial features, the same way her stylish white dress did to her body. Her dress had a low cut neck, revealing the ivory colored skin on her neck and a deep groove that promised treasures within.
Her dress looked simple in design, but she had made sure that no man would be able to resist her beauty.
Seeing the slightly dazzled look on Wang Tong's face, Li Ruoer figured that her time spent on putting on makeup and dressing up wasn't wasted.
Wang Tong was indeed dazzled by Li Ruoer's appearance. He cupped his forehead in surprise and then asked ”Are you alright? What's up with the fancy dress?”
Li Ruoer's attractive smile suddenly froze and then faded away.
”Don't make fun of me. I was trying to be nice.”
Li Ruoer held back the knot of fire in her belly as she wondered how Ma Xiaoru would have ever fallen in love with such an idiot. The questions in her mind made her feel self-conscious, as she started to doubt if Wang Tong would consider her as charming as Ma Xiaoru.
”Anyone? I am going to order. I am starving!” Wang Tong's loud voice shot through the dining hall, disrupting the serenity of the string quartet playing in the background.
A waiter appeared and filled the two's glasses with wine.
”Are we ready to order?” the waiter asked.
Li Ruoer plastered her smile back to her powered face and then said, ”He is hungry, he could go first. ”
”Why don't you join me? Let's order together.”
The waiter was unimpressed by the uncouth behavior of the young man, but he didn't show it on his face. He quickly took the order and retreated to the kitchen.
”Their foie gras is very famous.”
”Is that so? I never had that before.” Wang Tong nodded, pretending he knew what the strangely named dish was. In a few seconds, the dish was already prepared. Wang Tong smelled the distinctive fragrance of liver, and he knew the contents of his dish. ”Ah... foie gras...reminds me of Zerg liver. It was chewy and juicy—”
Li Ruoer's face turned darker by the second as she listened to Wang Tong's vivid description of the Zerg's liver. The knot inside her belly burst into flame again.
”Calm down, calm down.” Li Ruoer reminded herself.
Li Ruoer knew that she had to remain calm while trying to exert influence onto Wang Tong, because once she lost it, she would be the one to be influenced.
Li Ruoer took a breath and gathered herself, then said in a friendly tone, ”Is that right? that's interesting; I would love to try it one day.”
Wang Tong showed her a broad smiled, seemingly impressed by how mature and amiable the Enchantress had become. Wang Tong had already seen through her fake appearance, but he wasn't ruffled by whatever was hidden under her disguise, because he was convinced that the tactics of the Enchantress would do little to no harm in front of his Tactics of the Blade.
Even the brain in between Wang Tong's groin was smart enough to register the danger hidden under her carefully powdered face.
Wang Tong wolfed down the dishes on the table while Li Ruoer watched him with a wicked smile. The perverse curve on her lips suggested that she was savoring this moment when her prey was still unaware of what was going to come after him.
