Chapter 539: We Are Husband and Wife (17)
Just as Shi Haoyu was feeling the pinch, he felt Xue Rong actually pinch him on the thigh, making him hurt even more.
Turning around, he saw Xue Rong with her eyes wide open at him, staring. Then, his gaze fell on the serviette that was on the table.
Shi Haoyu was stunned for a moment before realizing what he had to do. Reaching out, he unrolled the serviette for Xue Rong, then laid it out on her lap for her. With that, he faced the white truffle now placed in front of him.
This strange thing that looked like a mushroom was that expensive?!
Xue Rong’s good friend who had observed the interaction between the two of them immediately piped up and said, “Rongrong, are you trying to torture us singletons with your sweet interactions?”
That made everyone refocus their attention back onto the couple.
Xue Rong instantly gave a look of satisfaction, then replied, “In finding a husband, you need to look for someone who’s warm and caring. It’s not too good to find someone who’s too cold; after all, you need a warm guy to get you through the days.”
What was she trying to say? Was she insinuating that Si Zhengting was too cold?
But there seemed to be an element of truth in what she said. Would Zhuang Nainai be happy facing up to Si Zhengting’s cold face every day?
Zhuang Nainai had been inspecting the white truffle and only raised her head when Xue Rong spoke. Goodness, she thought. She managed only a few moments of peace, and now they were comparing both of them again?
She raised her brows. Just before she could react, Xie Yutong slammed her cutlery down onto the table.
She was sitting beside Si Zhengting, and now she stuck out her leg to kick him. Lowering her head and taking the serviette to cover her mouth, she said softly, “You’d better treat Nainai a bit better. Show that you’re head over heels in love with her!”
Si Zhengting was shocked and speechless.
Si Zhengting had no time to reply as Xie Yutong huffily continued, “Oh dear me, did you not hear what I said? Quick, the lower you seem, the better! I’ll give you a 2000 dollar bonus later on!”
Si Zhengting was shocked.
Seeing that he still had not reacted, Xie Yutong grew impatient. “I’ll give you another 5000! Quick!”
Quick? The problem was, he had no idea as to what he had to do.
In their high school days, the only thing he ever did was to lead Zhuang Nainai on, where he would dress up so as to make Zhuang Nainai even more enamored with him.
Now…
Si Zhengting gave a low cough. On the other side, Zhuang Nainai had already begun to sense that something was going on between the two of them, and she turned her head to face them.
Xie Yutong smiled at her, then kicked Si Zhengting under the table once more. “Quick, give her water.”
Si Zhengting was just as speechless.
Si Zhengting’s face was ashen, but he still picked up his cutlery, cut up the mushrooms on his plate, and passed his plate over to Zhuang Nainai. With that, he raised his wine glass that had water in it and moved it close to Zhuang Nainai’s mouth. He paused, then said, “Open your mouth.”
Erm…
Zhuang Nainai was astonished.
Had the sun risen from the West earlier in the morning? Why was Si Zhengting being so warm and attentive?
Zhuang Nainai stared at the glass of water in front of her in shock. For a moment, she wondered if the water had poison inside and dared not to drink.
Alright, she was overthinking things.
Zhuang Nainai took a sip of water, then heard Si Zhengting say, “It’s good to rinse your mouth before eating white truffle because it’ll help you to fully enjoy the food.”
That made everyone immediately start drinking water.
Xue Rong, watching all of this, began gritting her teeth. Then, she leaned on Shi Haoyu’s shoulder and cooed, “Hubby, my fingers hurt a little.”
Shi Haoyu, having already been made uncomfortable by the public display of affection that was going on in front of him, quickly replied, “Come, let me give you a massage.”
