Chapter 159

159 Prickly

Didn’t William say that he was very odd in a suit?

What was going on with Isabella’s cheongsam?

Joseph frowned, “Why are you dressed like this?”

“Well, just now...” Isabella paused, looking excited, “I went dancing.”

“Dance?”

Joseph suddenly leaned over and stared at her slightly swollen red lips.

Isabella was scared to step back. She tried to cover up her nervousness, “What’s wrong? Why did you get close?”

“Come here!”

Joseph pinched Isabella’s chin and shook her head. “Your lips are swollen. Who bit you?”

.....

“Nobody!”

Isabella pushed Joseph away and said timidly, “I just ate spicy fried beef. It’s spicy! Can you not go insane?”

She looked around. “I’m embarrassed! Mind being recognized! Can you stop touching me?”

“Embarrassed? Well, if you dare to...”

“My fault!”

Isabella immediately pleased him, “I know what you want to say. I can’t casually hook up with other men this month, or Master Wilson will find out! Alright, don’t be angry. Do you want to eat or play? I’ll be your guide!”

Joseph’s temper was erased by Isabella who tightly held his hand.

Pulled by Isabella, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Then let’s eat the beef you just mentioned.”

“Okay! If you pay, everything will be settled!”

“Greedy!”

The big bench in front of the stall was occupied by young college students. Isabella especially took Joseph to a quiet corner and asked him to disband all the bodyguards except Gerry.

“Hello! A plate of spicy fried beef! A plate of stinky tofu!” Isabella shouted.

“Alright!”

“This spicy fried beef it’s one of the three great delicacies in our school,” Isabella said happily.

“It’s tasty. Even if you have eaten all the delicacies in the world, you definitely wouldn’t know how this one tastes like! And this stinky tofu is also good!”

Joseph looked at the greasy cup with a disdainful look.

Isabella took his cup away and opened a can of beer for him. “Let’s drink this.”

Joseph touched the bottle and said, “It’s iced. I won’t have this.”

“I’ll warm it for you?”

People sitting around were all chatting and joking. Only Isabella and Joseph were in funeral silence.

They were in a bad conversation.

Isabella awkwardly repeated the advantages of spicy fried beef several times before the life-saving beef was finally served up.

“We can finally eat!”

Isabella handed a bamboo stick to Joseph. “Try it with the stick. It’s better to use bamboo sticks instead of chopsticks!”

Joseph had a small piece. He only chewed two mouthfuls before spitting it out and coughing violently.

Isabella was shocked.

Someone laughed.

The surrounding people and even the stall keeper laughed, “The good-looking young man can’t eat spicy food at all! Come on! Have some stinky tofu!”

Joseph frowned.

Isabella noticed his darkened face. “Well, you’d better not have the stinky tofu...”

Before she could finish speaking, Joseph had already swallowed a piece of tofu.

This time, he ran out and began vomiting.

Isabella chased after him with a bottle of water.

Joseph held the wall and rinsed his mouth with cold water. Isabella carefully patted his back. “I told you...”

“Isabella, I underestimated you!”

Joseph gasped for breath and cursed, “No wonder you look dumb. You eat shit.”

“Don’t insult stinky tofu!”

Isabella got angry, “If you don’t want to eat shit, go back to your manor and enjoy your meal. Why are you here to seek excitement?”

After saying that, she angrily returned to the stall and started eating.

Joseph stood still and thought for a long time. He walked back and sat beside Isabella.

Isabella was a little surprised.

But she didn’t want to talk to him, or she would get angry!

It was obvious that Joseph didn’t want to talk to her, either.

To put it nicely, he just stayed by her side quietly.

To put it bluntly, he observed her with a gaze of studying someone eat shit.

‘Mr. Joseph, I want to punch you. What are you doing here?’

Several whistles came from the table not far away.

Isabella looked up and saw three blonde men toasted to her. They said in broken Chinese, “Beauty! Cheers!”

They must be foreign exchange students, but she did not know them.

It was very common for young students to know each other in such circumstances.

Besides, Isabella was known as a campus belle in the dance department.

She had met many such chat-up lines. She raised her glass.

Joseph propped up his chin and looked coldly at those foreign students. He said in an unfriendly tone, “Do you know them?”

“People who don’t each other would smear cake on their faces at the party. It’s natural. And it’s just a toast.”

“It’s very normal among college students!” Isabella hurriedly explained.

Joseph didn’t say anything. Isabella saw those foreign students gathered together and quickly said something in some language. From time to time, they would look at Joseph and burst out laughing.

Isabella grinned awkwardly. She felt that they were accusing Joseph of being very unfriendly.

That’s right. Joseph was arrogant all the time.

She knew that he had such habits, but the students who did not know him would deem him as prickly.

As she was thinking, Joseph suddenly picked up the unfinished spicy fried beef and stood up.

Isabella was stunned. Joseph had already walked to those foreign students and slapped the beef onto the face of the person who was laughing the loudest.
