Chapter 42 - Painful Impact

Now they were alone, sitting face to face in the restaurant. Bai Xu just left after signing the contract.

"Well, Miss Ling. What should we do?" Xi Jian looked at her coldly.

"You can continue with lunch, Sir. I will return to the office." Ling Yue hurried to her feet. She better get out of here before this man has other thoughts.

Xi Jian stretched his legs blocking Ling Yue's steps. He even planned to tackle her if this woman dared to pass him.

"How can I eat alone, of course I also have to treat my lawyer, right Miss Ling?" His smile didn't reach his eyes. "Sit down!"

Ling Yue bit inside of her cheek. She could have passed by and stepped on this man's feet with her 3-inch heels. Although it was short, she believe it still has a painful impact. Too bad it can only be done in her head. Ling Yue could only do that if there was a possibility she would not see him again in the future or willing to be sued and end up in prison for hurting his superiors.

"How could I miss it? It's an honor to be treated by you, Mr. Xi," She gnashed her teeth and sat down.

Xi Jian still put on his fake smile, called out the servant. He ordered special lunch set from this restaurant and deliberately ordered a large portion of middle size prawns. He let Ling Yue choose too.

"I thought I want to eat this, but it's too bad I don't want to get my hands dirty. You can eat it Miss Ling." Xi Jian pushed his prawns plate to her.

Ling Yue looked at him suspiciously. "Are you sure?" 'He's an influential person, is it possible he asked an insider to put poison in it?'

Xi Jian didn't pay any attention to her and ate another dish on the table. Ling Yue grabbed a plate of shrimp and began to peel it. The smell almost made Ling Yue drool. She brought the peeled shrimp to her lips and before entering her mouth, it snatched away.

"I changed my mind, it looks like the shrimp looks delicious," he pinched the shrimp in Ling Yue's hand with his chopsticks and ate it. "Hmmm, this is really good. Come on, Miss Ling, peel it again."

'I kneeeew it! Damn it!'

Ling Yue almost stripped the entire shrimp off the plate. Her fingers felt stiff. She resisted the urge to put the shrimp's legs and head into his nostrils. The shrimp on the peeled plate remained a quarter when Xi Jian put down his chopsticks.

"Oh, that's really good. You try it too." Xi Jian wiped his mouth. "I have another meeting after this. You can enjoy the rest." Xi Jian stood and left the table for the cashier.

Ling Yue with sparkling eyes swore in heart. Finally! She can eat in peace.

"Uuugghhh this is really good," if she did not aware of this five-star restaurant, Ling Yue plans to lick the spices on her plate clean. She really enjoyed her time here and stood up after everything was up.

"Sorry miss, you haven't paid for your meal."

"What?" Ling Yue stopped and looked at the servant who was blocking her. "But I saw my boss standing here" doesn't that mean he already paid for their food?

The waiter was still trying to look professional. "That mister only said that the bill would be paid by the lady."

Ling Yue's lips formed a straight line. "OK, how much is that?"

The cashier shows the bill. Ling Yue's eyes almost jumped out. How could lunch cost nearly four thousand dollars? Ling Yue examined the list they ordered.

"I think you make mistake. We didn't order bird's nest or Maotai." Ling Yue gave it back.

"Oh, that's an additional order to take away. We've sent it to the gentleman earlier."

Ling Yue clenched her bag. Bastaaaaard!!!
