Chapter 269: I Shall Uproot The Entire Peach Blossom Tree (1)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
“But Boss, I really have to say that you’re a vicious person!”
“I didn’t think that you would send over some guy to destroy any chance of a relations.h.i.+p he could have had at that table. After all, if a woman did the same thing, they could have still broken up with each other…”
“Boss, you aren’t just crus.h.i.+ng the peach blossom, you’re uprooting it altogether!”
“Respect! Respect in the largest font possible! Respect, bolded and underlined!”
Lu Benlai went on a mini-monologue to offer praise after praise for Lin Jiage. It was quite some time before he put on his plastic gloves to continue digging into his crayfish.
But it seemed like even the crayfish weren’t enough to jam up his mouth, “Luckily it’s only a scare this time around. For now, it seems like I’ve protected my fiancée from the clutches of other vixens…”
On the other hand, Lin Jiage’s gaze remained fixed on s.h.i.+ Yao’s table.
He watched how after the uncle walked away, the male student gestured wildly with his hands in anxiety, explaining desperately to the crowd with a reddened face.
The others gathered around the table had comforting smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be rea.s.suring him that they believed him. However, there was a strange look in their eyes which showed that they still harbored some doubts about the incident.
Seeing that his ploy had succeeded, Lin Jiage calmly retracted his gaze and picked up the sour plum drink on the table. He was just about to drink it when Lu Benlai’s last words reached his ears.
He raised his eyes to direct a glance at Lu Benlai. A moment later, he spoke up, “You’re reading too much into it…”
His cheeks were stuffed with crayfish, so Lu Benlai’s voice sounded a little m.u.f.fled, “What?”
Lin Jiage leisurely took two sips of the sour plum drink before replying calmly, “The lady you like has always been very safe.”
Lu Benlai was even more confused now.
Lin Jiage elegantly placed the cup of sour plum drink back onto the table before explaining with poise, “That’s because Yaoyao is by her side.”
The underlying meaning behind those words: With Soft Bun around, how could other men possibly be interested in that lady you’re interested in?
Indignant, Lu Benlai retorted, “Just how would you know that my fiancée doesn’t have anyone chasing her? Don’t forget that the guy de-sh.e.l.led some crayfish for my fiancée too!”
“So what?” Lin Jiage replied in his calm voice. “If I recall correctly, he gave the first plate he de-sh.e.l.led to Yaoyao and not the lady that you like.”
“That…” Lu Benlai spouted a single word but then found himself not knowing how to refute those words.
However, Lin Jiage had no intention of letting the matter rest just like that, “Besides, that guy might have prepared that plate for the lady you like just to please Yaoyao.”
Lu Benlai: “…”
Lin Jiage: “Also, the person who brought life into this restaurant is Soft Bun…”
Lu Benlai: “…”
It took ten whole seconds before Lu Benlai could finally squeeze out some words, “Boss, you can insult me, but you can’t insult my fiancée!”
Lin Jiage directed a puzzled look at Lu Benlai, asking, “Did I insult her? All I did was state the facts.”
It’s the truth that the lady you like isn’t as beautiful as Soft Bun.
Lu Benlai: “…”
Another ten seconds later, Lu Benlai spoke with a particularly grave voice, “Boss, you’re going to lose me at this rate!”
Lin Jiage nodded with perfect composure. “Sure. We’ll cover for our own orders when it’s time to pay for the bill.”
Lu Benlai: “…”
Yet another ten seconds later, the flames of fury within Lu Benlai were quelled, and he conceded, “Alright, Boss. For now, just this once, I’ll admit that Little Junior was the one who brought life into this restaurant!”
“In any case, regardless of what you say, my fiancée is always the most beautiful. This is what it means by ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’!”
Lin Jiage shot another glance at Lu Benlai, but he didn’t say a word.
Sometime later, after seeing that Soft Bun’s table had paid for their bill, he also beckoned a waitress over for the bill as well.
