Chapter 913 - 913 913 The Plot Doesnt Develop as Expected

Chapter 913: Chapter 913: The Plot Doesn’t Develop as Expected Chapter 913: Chapter 913: The Plot Doesn’t Develop as Expected Chen Xiaoyi seemed to dine here often, as even the restaurant’s duty manager recognized her and came out personally to greet her.

“Miss Chen, good afternoon, I am very delighted to welcome you,” the foreigner with a large nose, blue eyes, and blond hair greeted Chen Xiaoyi in fluent Huaxia, “The gentleman beside you is truly handsome, so handsome that I’m jealous.”

Chen Xiaoyi merely nodded arrogantly, replied with a “hello,” and did not say much more, nor did she introduce Luo Ziling.

The duty manager did not ask further and personally led Chen Xiaoyi and Luo Ziling to the semi-private room they had reserved.

After exchanging a few polite words, the duty manager then left.

Once seated, another foreign waiter brought them tea, coffee, and appetizers.

Luo Ziling had dined on Western cuisine a few times and roughly understood the etiquette, yet he still smiled at Chen Xiaoyi and said that he had not eaten Western food and did not understand the etiquette well, asking Chen Xiaoyi not to laugh at him.

“No worries, everyone starts somewhere, how could I possibly laugh at you?” Chen Xiaoyi tossed her shoulder-length bob, smiling joyfully.

Chen Xiaoyi’s hairstyle seemed freshly done, even having undergone an oil treatment, making her hair very smooth and flouncy.

With such a shake of her head, it was indescribably casual and appealing, coupled with her radiant smile, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but stare momentarily.

Although he had seen many beauties, Luo Ziling would still be captivated whenever he saw their bright smiles.

It had nothing to do with self-control, but rather was simply amazement at a woman’s beauty.

In Luo Ziling’s opinion, Chen Xiaoyi was a vivacious girl, somewhat similar to Ouyang Huihui but without Ouyang Huihui’s fiery temper, showing more intellectuality. It could also be said that Chen Xiaoyi’s personality resembled that of Luo Yuqing slightly—quite pleasant to get along with.

Of course, this was just Luo Ziling’s feeling; in many people’s eyes, Chen Xiaoyi was a difficult woman to negotiate with, as she often did not give you face, even her brother Chen Jiahai thought so. It can only be said that whether a woman is easy to negotiate with depends on who she is dealing with.

Luo Ziling actually did not dislike interacting with Chen Xiaoyi; he felt that being friends with such a woman was quite an enjoyable matter.

More importantly, because Chen Xiaoyi was Chen Jiahai’s sister, she was Miss Chen of the Chen family.

After all, the conflict between him and Chen Jiahai was rather intense; being close with Chen Xiaoyi could also be seen as an insult to Chen Jiahai!

Moreover, Luo Ziling also wanted to learn some information related to his grandparents from Chen Xiaoyi.

His already deceased grandmother was also a woman from the Chen family.

“Actually, we have a familial connection,” Luo Ziling went straight to the point after sitting down, “I only recently found out that my grandmother was from your Chen family. I did not know this before. You invited me today to tell me about related matters, right?”

“No rush,” seeing Luo Ziling’s interest, Chen Xiaoyi revealed a profound and mysterious smile: “Let’s eat first!”

“Alright then!” Luo Ziling had no choice but to be patient.

As they were talking, Chen Xiaoyi, who was seated facing the doorway, suddenly stiffened her smile and looked towards the door.

Luo Ziling turned his head in confusion, but saw a tall, handsome guy walking over from the doorway.

The play was about to begin, and Luo Ziling immediately sat up straight, getting into character.

“Xiaoyi,” the tall handsome guy greeted with a smile as he approached their table, “I’m sorry for being late. There’s traffic everywhere at this hour. I came as fast as I could. Don’t mind it, okay!”

At this point, he seemed to notice another man sitting with Chen Xiaoyi and hesitated for a moment. “Who is this…?”

“Let me introduce you,” Chen Xiaoyi stood up gracefully and made introductions, “This is my boyfriend, Luo Ziling, and this is Ding Chaohui, Mr. Ding.”

Hearing Chen Xiaoyi’s introduction, Ding Chaohui hesitated a moment then asked with a puzzled face, “Xiaoyi, you’re not joking, are you?”

At that moment, Luo Ziling stood up and extended his hand politely to Ding Chaohui, “I’m Luo Ziling, Xiaoyi’s friend.”

Ding Chaohui did not shake hands with Luo Ziling but sized him up before asking Chen Xiaoyi, “Xiaoyi, you didn’t just randomly bring a guy here to deal with, to reject me, did you? Is that necessary?”

“He really is my boyfriend,” said Chen Xiaoyi, still calm, “Do you think I’m not good enough for him?”

“No, it’s he who is not good enough for you,” Ding Chaohui said indignantly, “A guy with no status or position, how could he match Miss Chen?”

“I think you should leave now,” said Luo Ziling, a bit annoyed by the direct disdain, “Someone like you who has no manners or class at all, no matter how ugly you are, also has no right to pursue Xiaoyi.”

“You…” Ding Chaohui became instantly enraged and said coldly to Luo Ziling, “I don’t care who you are, I just want to warn you: I hope you don’t aspire to something out of your reach, stay far from Xiaoyi, or you’ll face endless trouble.”

“Ding Chaohui, what right do you have to warn people? I pursued him,” Chen Xiaoyi became angry. She couldn’t believe that the guy, who had always been so pleasing in front of her, dared to show a cold face to Luo Ziling and even threatened him openly, making her want to explode.

The plot didn’t develop as she expected, and she was infuriated by Ding Chaohui.

But Luo Ziling gave her a smile and signaled her not to say anything yet.

Seeing Luo Ziling was not angry, Chen Xiaoyi glared at Ding Chaohui fiercely and finally sat back down.

“I wasn’t wrong,” Luo Ziling stood in front of Ding Chaohui, “I am better looking than you, whether you admit it or not, it’s a fact. Our looks are not on the same level, so it’s normal for Xiaoyi to fancy me. Also, my manners are far superior to yours. Look at how polite I am when I speak, unlike you, who sound like a shrew yelling in the streets. I’m telling you, in front of a beautiful woman, you can’t be like this, or you’ll never win a beauty’s heart. No wonder Xiaoyi isn’t interested in you. If I were a woman, I’d stay away from you too, or you’d drag down my quality.”

Hearing Luo Ziling actually mock Ding Chaohui like this, Chen Xiaoyi almost couldn’t help laughing. She quickly picked up her teacup to drink and keep herself from breaking character.

“What did you say?” Ding Chaohui’s temper flared up, “What are you, to dare talk to me like that?”

“One must recognize one’s own abilities,” Luo Ziling smiled, “Today, I’m on a date with Xiaoyi. Please don’t disturb our enjoyment. Xiaoyi invited you here only to let you know she already has a boyfriend and hopes you won’t bother her anymore. I think, now you should be able to make a good choice. That is: turn around, start walking, then take a right, after you exit the door, take a few dozen steps to the left to the parking lot, if you have a car!”

“Pfft,” Chen Xiaoyi finally couldn’t hold back her laughter. The sip of water she had just drunk sprayed out.

She never expected that at such a time, Luo Ziling could still be so humorous.
