Beauty Wu immediately used her fork to throw the cat coconut ball into her mouth and ate the 78 yuan dish in one bite. It tasted pretty good.
“Is it delicious?”
“Not bad.”
The waiter removed the plate in front of her and brought another plate of snacks.
Beauty Wu took a bite. The taste was not bad. In terms of taste and ingredients, it was still expensive at this price point. However, the plate presentation was quite exquisite and beautiful.
Even after they finished eating, Beauty Wu could not appreciate the taste of the dishes. She thought that she was an ordinary person after all and could not appreciate such noble things. After leaving the restaurant, they took a car home. When they passed by a snack stall, Beauty Wu asked Dongli Shenghua to stop the car.
“What are you doing?”
Beauty Wu didn’t reply. She got out of the car and ran to the stall to buy a scallion pancake for eight yuan.
Dongli Shenghua had a complicated expression on his face as he watched her return to the car with the scallion pancake in her hand. She didn’t manage to eat her fill in the 181st three-star Michelin restaurant…
“Are you not full?”
Beauty Wu nodded. “I’m not full. Every time I eat Western food or Japanese food, I won’t be full.”
Dongli Shenghua suddenly remembered what Wei Shuyi had told him about Chinese food and Japanese food.
Smelling the fragrance of the scallion pancakes, Dongli Shenghua’s face looked a little dark under the night light.
The car stopped at the entrance of Beauty Wu’s neighborhood.
Dongli Shenghua insisted on sending Beauty Wu home.
Beauty Wu rejected him. “I’m familiar with this place. If you send me in, I’ll have to send you out. It’s troublesome.”
Dongli Shenghua insisted. “Miss Wu, don’t reject my good intentions.”
It was hard for Beauty Wu to leave him, so she let him be.
She walked in front while Dongli Shenghua walked behind.
After entering the district, they walked all the way to the house where Beauty Wu was. When Beauty Wu heard the footsteps of the person behind her still lingering, she could not help but turn around and say to Dongli Shenghua, “Mr. Dongli, I’ve reached my home. I live alone as a girl so I won’t invite you in for tea. Go back.”
Dongli Shenghua said, “I’ll watch you go up.”
His actions made Beauty Wu’s heart tingle.
She nodded and was about to turn around to leave when Dongli Shenghua suddenly asked her, “Does Miss Wu like Japanese food?”
Japanese…
Beauty Wu curled her lips in disdain. She said, “I hate Japanese food the most.” She loved Chinese pork trotters and pork ribs more. They were delicious meat dishes. She could eat her fill with dozens of yuan.
Dongli Shenghua’s eyes darkened.
“Is that so…”
“What’s wrong?”
Dongli Shenghua smiled. It was quite beautiful.
He stopped smiling and said, “Someone told me before that you can’t force a person who likes Chinese food to like Japanese food.” Beauty Wu felt that the person who said this to Dongli Shenghua made sense.
“But I have to make that person like Japanese food.” After Dongli Shenghua said this, he suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged her waist.
He hugged Beauty Wu and lowered his head, pretending to kiss her.
Beauty Wu was about to counterattack when she saw a man standing not far behind Dongli Shenghua.
A man in a white windbreaker was holding a gift bag. Who else could it be but Wei Shuyi?
In her daze, Beauty Wu was kissed on the forehead by Dongli Shenghua.
She was tactful and gave up resisting.
Dongli Shenghua let go of her and looked down at Beauty Wu’s face. He chuckled and said softly, “Consider me. I really like you.”
“You like my face.”
Beauty Wu pushed him away decisively.
The two of them stood a little further away. Beauty Wu raised her head and saw Wei Shuyi a few meters behind them. A hint of panic appeared on her beautiful face. One look and you could tell that she felt guilty.
Her natural reaction was as if she had just discovered Wei Shuyi.
“Brother… Brother Wei…”
Beauty Wu’s voice was filled with panic, uneasiness, and guilt.
Dongli Shenghua turned around and saw Wei Shuyi with a malicious expression.
Wei Shuyi stood there for a long time.
He stood upright in the cold wind, and he seemed desolate and lonely.
Dongli Shenghua raised his eyebrows in surprise.
However, in the depths of his eyes, he seemed to rejoice.
That person seemed to struggle.
After turning around and leaving, Wei Shuyi hesitated for a few seconds before walking towards Beauty Wu.
He carried a bag as he walked in front of Beauty Wu and stood beside Dongli Shenghua.
The man’s gentle and tolerant eyes darkened.
“One month and four days,” Wei Shuyi said inexplicably with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Beauty Wu’s heart tightened.
It had been a month and four days since they last met.
Wei Shuyi’s gaze landed on Beauty Wu’s forehead. Just half a minute ago, another man had kissed her there.
The aura around him seemed to become violent, but soon, it was suppressed.
Wei Shuyi let out a low laugh before saying, “You said that you’re tired and want to think about it for a while. You want to think about what happened between us.” His gaze shifted to Dongli Shenghua beside him, but he faced Beauty Wu and asked, “Is this the answer you’re giving me?”
Beauty Wu’s lips moved, and she was speechless for a long time.
Dongli Shenghua had wild ambitions. At this moment, he pretended to be kind and magnanimous as he said to Wei Shuyi, “Mr. Wei, I took the initiative to kiss Miss Wu just now.”
Wei Shuyi said, “But she didn’t resist.”
Beauty Wu’s expression changed slightly.
Dongli Shenghua narrowed his eyes, feeling quite happy.
He had been caught red-handed trying to steal someone’s heart. He was quite skilled and did not feel embarrassed or guilty at all.
Wei Shuyi, on the other hand, was invisible to Dongli Shenghua. He kept looking at Beauty Wu, only having her in his heart. He endured the pain and asked Beauty Wu, “This is the answer you’re giving me, right?”
Beauty Wu finally spoke.
She said, “Wei Shuyi, I’m sorry. I don’t think I like you anymore.”
As soon as she said this, she saw the man in front of her swayed.
But soon, Wei Shuyi maintained his basic dignity.
If not for the fact that his fingers were clenching the gift bag so tightly that it was shaking gently, Beauty Wu would have thought that he had really calmly accepted this news. Even when they broke up, he had endured it and did not want to show his pathetic side in front of her.
After a moment of silence, the man in front of her said, “Okay, I understand.”
His right hand suddenly reached into his windbreaker pocket and took out a bunch of keys. He took off one of the keys on it and handed it to Beauty Wu. “I’ll return it to you. I can’t afford to take this.” Just like how he could not get Beauty Wu.
He had already lost the right to keep this key.
When he first took this key, Wei Shuyi had said that he had taken over Beauty Wu and her house.
But now, it was not that he wanted to shirk responsibility, but Beauty Wu did not give him the right.
It would be a lie to say that he was not sad.
Beauty Wu slowly reached out and took the key.
In winter, the key was cold, but not as cold as her heart.
Wei Shuyi looked deeply at Beauty Wu, his lips trembling a few times. He thought for a long time before saying to her, “Don’t flirt with others casually in the future. Not everyone is as easy to get rid of as me. Be careful not to meet bad people in the future. You’ll be injured.”
With that, he turned around and glanced at Dongli Shenghua.
He pretended to leave, but when he passed by Dongli Shenghua, he punched him hard in the face.
“F*ck you!”
“If you dare to lie to her, I’ll kill you!” Dr. Wei, who had always been well-mannered, completely exploded. He felt that hitting Dongli Shenghua was not enough, and he still had to scold him to vent his anger.
Dongli Shenghua didn’t expect Wei Shuyi to suddenly attack him. Just as he was about to resist, Beauty Wu flashed and stood between the two of them. “Enough!” She protected Dongli Shenghua behind her. These words were directed at Wei Shuyi.
Her protective attitude towards Dongli Shenghua agitated Wei Shuyi.
“Look at how you protect him! You’ve never protected me!”
His heart ached like it was stabbed.
When Beauty Wu heard this, her heart ached.
However, if they really fought, Wei Shuyi was not Dongli Shenghua’s match. His hands were meant to scalpels, so how could he hit someone? Dongli Shenghua did not hold back. If he really injured Wei Shuyi, what should he do?
Beauty Wu’s face turned cold as she said to Wei Shuyi, “Leave.”
Wei Shuyi was stunned. He looked like he didn’t believe that Beauty Wu would say such a thing.
Beauty Wu’s expression turned cold. She repeated, “Leave!”
Wei Shuyi’s pupils shrank.
He roared, “Alright, I’ll leave!” After shouting, he grabbed his gift bag and turned to run away.
His footsteps lost their usual steadiness and elegance, making him look pathetic.
Beauty Wu’s eyes turned red as she watched him run further and further away.
She closed her eyes before looking back.
When she opened her eyes, she met Dongli Shenghua’s scrutinizing gaze. “Are you afraid that I’ll hit him?”
“I’ve let him down.” Beauty Wu turned around and walked upstairs.
She did not listen to anything Dongli Shenghua said behind her.
