Chapter 13: Who Says I Do Not Like Prawns?

If she were to sit right next to Si Zhengting, would she be kicked out again?

Zhuang Nainai played with the probability in her head and decided against it.

Her gaze rested on Si Zhengting.

His lanky fingers were wrapped around his glass, and he sipped lightly once in a while. Absentmindedly, he looked at the spread.

Zhuang Nainai wrinkled her brows.

Drinking alcohol now after his gastric episode in the morning?

This man… he doesn’t take care of his health at all!

Her doe eyes glimmered. She walked to the bar to pour a glass of warm water. After approaching Si Zhengting, she passed him the glass. “Er… you had gastric pains today, drink some water.”

Her voice was soft as silk.

Her expression was as sincere can be.

Any normal man could not bear to reject this sincerity.

No one in the room dared to look in this direction, but their peripheral visions were fixed on the pair.

However…

Si Zhengting looked as if he did not hear her. He sat expressionless, saying and doing nothing.

Time seemed to have frozen at that moment.

Su Yanbing wanted to eat but dared not move his chopsticks.

What tension in the room!

A whole twenty seconds elapsed and there was still no response from Si Zhengting. Zhuang Nainai felt her confidence quaver. Embarrassment set in.

She bit her lips and tightened her grip on the glass.

Just when Zhuang Nainai was about to move, Huang Xiao’ai stood up suddenly.

Under the arrangement of her father, Huang Xiao’ai was one empty seat away from Si Zhengting. She took up the sharing chopsticks and put a prawn into his plate. In a soft baby voice, she said, “Mr. Si, I see you have a weak stomach. You should eat more food before drinking!”

She then mockingly looked towards Zhuang Nainai’s direction.

How dare a “Colors Club” service crew dream of attracting Mr. Si! What a joke!

Zhuang Nainai raised her eyebrows.

Oh?

Another rival here?

The girl was young and very pretty too. If Zhuang Nainai did not make it in, would she have gotten her way?

Unfortunately, she met her nemesis. It is not her day.

Zhuang Nainai fought harder when faced with a strong opponent. Her awkwardness from seconds ago vanished instantly.

Placing the glass of water in front of Si Zhengting, Zhuang Nainai settled into the empty seat on his left and popped the prawn on his plate into her own mouth with chopsticks. “Mr. Si hates prawns, but I don’t!”

She gleefully enjoyed the delicacy and watched Huang Xiao’ai’s face alternate between a few ugly shades.

…

The young girl must be enraged – her face turned green and then white. It was not a pleasant sight to behold.

Su Yanbing witnessed the drama, and his lips twitched. It had been five years, but Zhuang Nainai’s ability to incense someone had not weakened one bit!

However, just as Zhuang Nainai was basking in her victory, a cold voice interrupted, “Who says I do not like prawns?”

Chapter 14: A Wandering Hand

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The entire room fell silent.

Su Yanbing was so shocked he nearly dropped his chopsticks.

Everyone watched Si Zhengting give Zhuang Nainai a cold glance. No one caught the fixed emotions in that look under its chilling glint.

Mr. Si.

Hpmh. She now addressed him as Mr. Si.

Si Zhengting did not comprehend the feeling now erupting within him. It was dull and suffocating; it made him annoyed with her.

“It’s alright. If Mr. Si likes prawns, Xiao’ai will get you one more!” Boss Huang piped in and threw a look at Huang Xiao’ai.

Huang Xiao’ai showed a flattered expression and picked up another prawn. She shifted her weight while putting the prawn onto his plate and planted herself in the chair on Si Zhengting’s immediate right. “Mr. Si, try this, our club’s celery prawn is very tasty.”

She raised her head and glanced at Zhuang Nainai.

What an insignificant being!

Mr. Si ate her prawns and rejected Zhuang Nainai’s water. It showed that Mr. Si liked her!

Huang Xiao’ai was exhilarated.

Zhuang Nainai was stunned. Her lips were slightly parted and she forgot to chew.

He liked prawns?

Five years ago, he simply abhorred them. Why did he like them now?

She looked at him with incredulity. Si Zhengting kept quiet, picked up the prawn in his chopsticks, and… ate them!

Zhuang Nainai lowered her head, a bitter smile forming on her lips.

That’s right, five years was sufficient to change one’s preferences.

But this is not the time to get emotional! Zhuang Nainai fought against her displeasures and looked up again. She recomposed herself and smiled at the pair.

Isn’t it just serving food?

She could do that!

Zhuang Nainai was about to reach out and offer Si Zhengting another prawn when her elbow was caught by someone.

Zhuang Nainai turned and saw Boss Huang look at her with lust in his eyes. “Miss, do you work here? What do you do? Tell me about it.”

Boss Huang held onto Zhuang Nainai’s hands while speaking and stroked her skin.

…

“What good skin you have!”

Boss Huang and his daughter both believed Su Yanbing’s words and did not take her for someone important.

Boss Huang mused to himself that Si Zhengting must have seen much to pass on such rare beauty. He would gladly take her and make her a mistress.

Having witnessed all these interactions from across the table, Su Yanbing looked in Si Zhengting’s direction. Just as he predicted, Si Zhengting’s gaze rested on Boss Huang’s wandering hand.

Su Yanbing believed that if stares were tangible, Boss Huang’s hands would have ended up shredded.

Si Zhengting slowly put down his chopsticks. Just as he was about to do something, Zhuang Nainai stood abruptly and sent Boss Huang’s hands flying.

Zhuang Nainai felt goosebumps all over her body.

It’s so gross to get molested by an old man!

“What are you doing!”

Before she could rage, Huang Xiao’ai opened her mouth first.
