"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Arthur asked with concern when he saw Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly lower her head.

Mu Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at Arthur. Unfortunately, the waitress beside him had too sharp of a look in her eyes. She could only helplessly smile and say, "No … there's no discomfort …"

Arthur glanced at the waitress beside him and immediately understood why Mu Xiaoxiao had such an expression. He coldly called out, "Manager."

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Arthur with a puzzled expression. What was he trying to do?

When the restaurant manager heard someone call him again, he didn't want to pay any attention to him. He looked around and found that it was Arthur calling him. He ran over with a big smile and said, "Young Master Ye, what's the matter?"

Arthur pointed at the waitress standing beside him and said unhappily, "Is this a restaurant or a nightclub? "Do you allow your waitress here to do whatever she wants with her customers?"

The manager looked up and saw the waitress standing next to Arthur. She was indeed a bit closer to Arthur, so the manager angrily pulled the waitress over, "What are you doing? Do you like men that much? If you like this so much, why don't you go to work at a nightclub? " The manager cleaned up the waitress, "Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Ye."

The waitress was extremely embarrassed. She respectfully bowed to Arthur and said, "Young Master Ye, I … I'm sorry. I won't dare to do it again."

"There won't be a next time." Arthur said coldly, "Manager, I don't want to continue seeing this woman here. If I see her in your store again, you know the consequences."

The entire business street had been bought by this Young Master Ye. If he were to offend him, then his store would probably close down as well. "Young Master Ye, don't worry, you won't see her again."

Only then did the waitress realize how stupid of a decision she had made. She said anxiously, "Manager, don't fire me. I don't want to leave. I … I really won't do this again." She didn't want to lose a job like this, one that was free and paid well.

"Let's go, let's go." The manager waved his hand impatiently, "Go to the finance department and ask them to settle your monthly salary. Tell them to double your salary."

Seeing that begging the manager was useless, the waitress started to attack Arthur, "Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye, please, don't chase me away, I still have an old mother to raise."

"Hmph …" Arthur let out a cold snort. He did not even look at the pitiful waitress as he stared at the manager. The manager shivered as he quickly shouted, "Security, drag her away."

Hearing the manager's order, the security guard naturally didn't dare to be negligent and quickly pulled the waitress down. When the waitress was pulled down, Mu Xiaoxiao coldly said, "Don't think about people you shouldn't think about. Otherwise, the one who will suffer will always be you." Mu Xiaoxiao's words were a taunt and a warning.

The waitress angrily looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. "Despicable! You're the one who gave her the job. Sooner or later, she'll make you pay."

After the eyesore was dragged away, no one dared to covet Arthur anymore. The manager said ingratiatingly, "Young Master Ye, I'll give you the noodles for this meal as compensation to you."

A smile that was not a smile appeared on Arthur's face, "You think this young master can't afford to pay for this meal?"

"No, no, Young Master Ye, I … I didn't mean it that way." The manager felt that his back was covered in cold sweat, and when he opened his mouth, he was already stuttering.

"Hurry up and serve the dishes." Arthur said snappily.

"Yes, yes, yes." With a smile, the manager left.

"Why are you so serious? Actually, that waitress didn't do anything? " Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Arthur. A faint smile appeared on his face.

"I can't stand the way she looks at you." Arthur calmly said as he looked into Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes.

"Why are you so good to me?" Mu Xiaoxiao spoke out the doubts in her heart.

"I like you." Arthur half-jokingly said as he quietly waited for Mu Xiaoxiao's reply.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Arthur with a subtle change in her expression. Her originally indifferent eyes turned cold. "I don't like you." Mu Xiaoxiao coldly replied.

"Haha, is that so?" Arthur laughed. "You only like Gu Yuchen?" Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head in affirmation. Arthur helplessly shook his head. "He didn't even protect you at the Gu family today. You can't blame him."

Mu Xiaoxiao replied with certainty, "Don't blame him. Grandfather's health is not good. Gu Yuchen is a filial person. He won't ignore Grandfather."

"Then you don't care about him?" Arthur asked indifferently. His words were like a needle poking into Mu Xiaoxiao's inner scar. She became silent for a moment. Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, Arthur opened his mouth and said, "You will like me." Even though it was his little sister who treated his big brother … You'll like me, too.

Man, isn't this man too narcissistic? Although he's also very handsome, Mu Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at Arthur. His face still wore the trademark smile. "No way." Mu Xiaoxiao's watery blue eyes were filled with resolution.

As the two of them spoke, the manager led a group of male waiters to bring up the dishes ordered by Mu Xiaoxiao. With the lesson from before, the manager didn't dare to arrange for any more waitresses to come over. The manager walked up to Arthur and respectfully said, "Young Master Ye, the dishes you ordered have already been served. With that, he led the group of male waiters down the hall.

In the dining room, Arthur saw Mu Xiaoxiao's pair of eyes twinkle. She looked so hungry that she couldn't stand it any longer, and he laughed, "Go ahead and eat." Arthur gently said to Mu Xiaoxiao.

However, Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated as she picked up the chopsticks. If she wanted to eat, she had to take off her veil, but …

"What's wrong? Why aren't you eating? " As Arthur saw Mu Xiaoxiao excitedly pick up the chopsticks, he was stunned and puzzled.

Mu Xiaoxiao quietly stared at the delicacies in front of her. She didn't move her chopsticks nor did she respond to Arthur's words.

Arthur carefully examined Mu Xiaoxiao and finally realized why she hadn't touched her chopsticks. "Take them off." Arthur said with a smile. His smile was like a magic charm. It made Mu Xiaoxiao feel very warm, as if … They were like family.
