Chapter 286: Waiting For Her to Throw Herself At Him
“My wifey is worried about me,” he said as his lips arched into a smile.
The woman was taken aback. “Hey, Mo Jiangye, are you intoxicated already?”
He’d had just a few glasses…
“Sister-in-law, what makes you think so? Our boss can hold his alcohol.”
“That’s right! Come on, Boss, let me make a toast to you.”
The man scanned the table and commanded, “We’ll eat now. No more drinking!”
Like his wife had just said, no more drinks were allowed!
The guys didn’t know what to say to that.
At the dining table, he paid close attention to what she was having. Every item that he picked for her plate was carefully chosen.
However, all the woman could think of was the plate of prawns lying in front of her. The tantalizing smell was irresistible!
Looking at her, he knew that her eyes had never left that plate once.
“Sister-in-law, do you want a prawn?” Someone sitting next to her picked up a huge one with his chopsticks and passed it to her.
“Thank you,” she answered politely.
“She’s allergic to prawns,” quipped the man as he took the prawn from her plate and put it in his.
“Oh, she’s allergic to prawns? What a pity! This place is famous for its prawns.”
“Well, I don’t have a serious allergy. A small portion won’t do any harm,” she added quickly.
“Oh, then it should be fine if you take a small bite. Try it, it’s really nice.”
The man’s face sank immediately. “She can’t have even a tiny bit.”
“Ha ha ha ha! Alright, alright, I get it. Boss, you are concerned about his wife. Sister-in-law, why don’t you try some other dishes? We have delicacies other than prawns, such as crabs and oysters. To be precise, this town is known for its seafood.”
The man beside her merely retorted brashly, “She’s allergic to all kinds of seafood.”
Then, he scooped up a bowl of hot broth for her. “Here, have this to warm yourself up.”
“Ehh… Sis-in-law, you better not touch any seafood in that case.”
The others at the table threw her sympathetic looks and started to dig into their crabs.
She pursed her lips, turned her head toward him, and trained her puppy eyes dolefully on him.
The man’s gaze softened in an instant, and he leaned close to her ear and whispered, “You can have all the seafood you want when your period is over.”
Unrelenting, she continued to fix her doe-like eyes on him. This was the first time she put aside her pride and integrity to appeal to his manhood with her meekness.
“Wow, look at that! Sister-in-law is playing coy with our chief!” Someone among the crowd shouted, making everyone’s attention instantly turn to her.
Her lips twitched and she swung her head to the front a moment later, pretending that none of this had happened. After taking a sip of the broth in the bowl in front of her, she asked casually, “What did you say?”
Everyone smiled and tried to wave aside her embarrassment. “Nothing, don’t worry about us. The two of you can continue what you were doing earlier.”
Xu Xu jumped in with an evil grin and commented with narrowed eyes, “Sis-in-law, I know you like prawns.”
Ye Erruo gave him a quizzical look.
“Woeful petulance is not gonna work on him. You have to take pragmatic action to change his mind, such as pressing him down on the chair and kissing him until he gives in. When that happens, you could even get him to agree to give you ten of them! It’s simple, rough, and definitely effective!”
“You should just concentrate on eating.” She told him off with a glare.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
The man quietly agreed with the approach. “This method works.”
AH! This got everyone’s attention, as they put down their chopsticks and looked expectantly at the woman.
“Do it, sis-in-law!”
“Yes, hurry!”
The people sitting at the other tables close to theirs started to join the fun too, chanting, “Sis-in-law, do it! Work your magic on him!”
The man next to her placed his hand over the backrest of her seat, waiting in anticipation with a faint smile. He was ready for her as he stretched open his arms, waiting for her to throw herself at him.
