Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Isn’t it Flirty
The east side of the Grmy Western restaurant has a bar called Old Place!
This bar isn’t as noisy as others, nor does it exhibit the chaotic scene of a wild crowd; it’s quite peaceful.
Although there weren’t many customers, they were all company executives dressed in high-end suits, gathering in small groups.
One could tell that the owner of the bar had style and stories to tell. This style inadvertently attracted a similar crowd of middle-aged patrons with stories of their own. Under the dim blue lighting, a soft piano melody drifted through the air, and the customers chatted quietly and elegantly beside their tables, creating a scene that almost seemed like "the learned talk with laughter and the uneducated do not stray into their midst".
Qin Muge and Ye Xunhuan entered the bar and then sat down at the counter. Just as Qin Muge was about to order a drink, Ye Xunhuan suddenly spoke up, "Let’s get this straight, I’m treating today..."
"I know!" Qin Muge said indifferently, "Don’t worry, I won’t fight with you over it!"
"What I mean is you’re paying..." Ye Xunhuan said somewhat embarrassedly.
It’s not that Ye Xunhuan is stingy and reluctant to treat Qin Muge to a drink; he genuinely had no money. His money was in another piece of clothing, and he forgot to bring his wallet when he changed clothes.
Otherwise, why would he stay there making a call to Xiao Jiu, asking Xiao Jiu to send someone to pick him up?
Qin Muge looked at Ye Xunhuan somewhat dumbfounded.
Being observed by a beauty like this is supposed to be a good thing, something any man could be proud of—after all, isn’t it worth being proud of to have attracted someone’s attention?
But what if that beauty’s gaze contains other meanings?
Feeling Qin Muge’s gaze, Ye Xunhuan suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable all over, and couldn’t help but start looking around. However, Qin Muge continued to stare at him intently.
This made Ye Xunhuan finally unable to sit still, his handsome face turned red, he twisted his body suddenly, pinching up a dainty finger pose and pouting coquettishly, "Stop it, why’re you always staring at someone like that!"
The sudden girly tone scared Qin Muge so much that she almost swung her hand and slapped Ye Xunhuan right in the face.
"Ye Xunhuan, can you not be so gross!" Qin Muge said with a look of disgust.
Seeing Qin Muge back to normal, Ye Xunhuan’s previous discomfort vanished instantly, "Let’s not talk about that, I’ll treat today, but you’re paying!"
"How come I never noticed that you’re such a miser..."
"You think I like being a miser?"
"Then pay up!"
"I have no money!" Ye Xunhuan said with a gloomy face.
"No money?" Qin Muge’s eyes widened in disbelief.
What kind of man goes out without money in this day and age? And yet this jerk claims to have none—as if she’s a three-year-old child so easily fooled!
"Don’t look at me like that!" Ye Xunhuan understood the meaning in Qin Muge’s eyes at a glance, "I really don’t have money today..."
"Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?"
"I’m not lying to you!" Seeing that Qin Muge still didn’t believe him, Ye Xunhuan stood up from the counter, "Damn it, if you don’t believe me, search me, fuck, if you can find a single coin on me, I’ll eat it!"
"You really have no money?"
"Really none!" Ye Xunhuan said dejectedly, "Later, I’ll need to borrow some money from you for a cab ride home..."
The corner of Qin Muge’s mouth couldn’t help twitching.
So not only does she have to treat for the drinks, but she also has to give him cab fare later! 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Then how did you end up here?"
"Did you really think I could divine you’d be conned and come riding in on my wind-fire wheels to help you?" Ye Xunhuan spoke calmly, "Girl, wake up from your dream. It was just the call of love, okay? I was dumped here, found myself without a penny, and just stopped there..."
Qin Muge’s face immediately darkened, although she had known all along that meeting Ye Xunhuan was just a coincidence, she hadn’t expected that the jerk had been dumped there.
"Damn it, lucky for me I ran into you, the big fool, otherwise I’d have had to call someone to pick me up..."
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan seemed to remember something, and smacked his thigh hard, "Crap, I’ve already called someone to fetch me. No, I need to make a quick call and tell them not to come!"
Qin Muge’s delicate nose twitched involuntarily, her pearly teeth clenching together with an audible grit at that moment. This asshole actually treated her as a big fool and had the audacity to say it outright.
Then, under Qin Muge’s gaze filled with simmering fury, Ye Xunhuan quickly dialed Little Jiu’s number, telling his people to go back, and as for Mu Tiange’s issue, he’d handle it!
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xunhuan didn’t care about Qin Muge’s reaction and immediately asked the bartender for a bottle of Hennessy, on top of that, extra ice for his glass!
If someone else is paying, why not drink the good stuff!
The strong liquor slid down his throat, mixed with the coolness of the ice cubes, giving an immediate sensation of ice and fire intertwining deep within, prompting Ye Xunhuan to exhale a long breath, "Ahh, that’s the stuff!"
"You old hags, never in your dreams did you think, after dumping me, I’d still run into an acquaintance!" Ye Xunhuan said fiercely, "Go on, try not to call me!"
"Old hags?" Qin Muge frowned, "Who are you talking about?"
"Relax, it’s not you!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "My home-wrecking wife!"
"You’re married?" Qin Muge looked at Ye Xunhuan with some surprise.
"Of course!" Ye Xunhuan said with a proud face, "A man as handsome as me, with skills this good? You can’t find another even with a lantern. Naturally, I’m hot property..."
Qin Muge’s lips couldn’t help but twitch at the comment; she had seen shameless people before, but none as shameless as Ye Xunhuan.
"The fact that you want to annul our engagement after sleeping with me once goes to show just how good I am..."
"Go die!" Qin Muge couldn’t help but thrust her hand hard into Ye Xunhuan’s waist, pinching him fiercely.
Ye Xunhuan immediately grimaced in pain.
"Ye Xunhuan, don’t you dare continually challenge my limits!" Qin Muge said through clenched teeth.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "Come on, I’m treating you to a drink!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan poured a glass of liquor for Qin Muge.
Qin Muge directly lifted the glass, tilted her head back, and the entire glass of liquor went straight down into her stomach.
"I really can’t see what woman would be blind enough to marry a bastard like you!"
"Don’t you know the saying, ’Women love bad boys’?"
"Is there also one that goes, ’A man can be ugly, can be poor, but can never not be cheap’?"
"It’s ’can never not be flirty’!" Ye Xunhuan corrected seriously.
Just at that moment, Ye Xunhuan’s cell phone suddenly rang.
Picking up the phone and seeing the caller ID, a playful smile slowly spread across Ye Xunhuan’s lips.
