The two of them really confused the young woman. ‘Why are they both acting so abnormally today!?’
She peeled the skin off a crayfish and was about to place the meat on the plate in front of Long Sijue.
Long Sijue grabbed her wrist with his large hand and moved her hand towards his mouth. As he fixed his gaze on the young woman’s bright red lips, he bit the crayfish meat between her fingertips and took the opportunity to suck her fingertips.
Su Qianxun felt her body turn hot out of embarrassment. She immediately and forcefully withdrew her hand, and her cheeks became red.
Gu Mian observed the interaction between Su Qianxun and Long Sijue as she ate. Her female intuition told her that Su Qianxun had a special place in this man’s heart.


Tang Zui arrived later than Long Sijue because he had gone to buy medicine. The moment he entered the restaurant, Gu Mian’s entire body stiffened. Immediately after, she felt as though a large, ruthless hand was clutching her heart, and she felt an acute sense of suffocation.
‘Why is he here?’
Gu Mian was so nervous that she spilled the glass of Coca-Cola beside her hand. Flustered, she took some tissue to wipe the table.
Tang Zui acted as if he did not see Gu Mian. He sat down beside her.
I went to buy some stuff. Jue, are you sure that you can eat these?

Long Sijue glanced at Gu Mian, who was sitting opposite him, and then at Tang Zui.
Why not?
he said flatly.

Why don’t you have this?
Tang Zui immediately took a skewer of meat that was dripping with oil and held it up in front of Long Sijue. Long Sijue glanced at the fire in the barbeque pit and furrowed his eyebrows a little.
Su Qianxun felt that it was already difficult for Long Sijue to eat the crayfish, and reckoned that he definitely would not eat the skewer of meat. After all, it looked quite unhygienic.
But surprisingly, the young master extended his hand to take the skewer of meat. Long Sijue glanced at it before holding it up beside his mouth. He removed a piece of meat with his teeth and started eating.
It was actually very hard for one to stay elegant while eating meat off a skewer. However, Long Sijue was able to do so in an extremely aesthetically pleasing manner. At this moment, no one around him doubted that eating skewers of meat was an activity that was as classy as eating western food.
When Gu Mian saw that Tang Zui had no intention of telling the others that she was his wife, she did not want to take the initiative to let Su Qianxun and Long Sijue know about their relationship either. This man did not treat her like a wife at all anyway. All he did was endlessly humiliate her.


Su Qianxun noticed the injury at the back of Long Sijue’s hands. The wounds were covered in dried blood, and they looked extremely grotesque.
For some reason, the young woman felt something tugging at her heart strings…
The two young women did not order enough for all of them, so Tang Zui called the boss over and ordered more food. Every since Tang Zui arrived, Gu Mian had been acting strange. She accidentally scalded her hand with a skewer that was still extremely hot, and a few minutes later, she almost toppled the beer bottle beside her.
Fortunately, Tang Zui had extended his hand and caught the beer bottle. Gu Mian looked anxiously at Tang Zui. He had already withdrawn his hand and was now talking to Long Sijue. From the beginning to the end, he did not look at Gu Mian at all.
Su Qianxun found Gu Mian’s sudden change in attitude rather strange. ‘She was totally fine earlier, but now, why does she suddenly look as if her soul has flown out of her body? Not only is she keeping quiet, but she also keeps knocking into things.’

Are you okay? Are you feeling sick or something? Why do you look so pale?
Su Qianxun could not help but ask.

I’m okay. I’ll go and pay for our food first.
When Gu Mian saw that everyone was almost done eating, all she wanted to do was to flee and stay as far away as possible from Tang Zui.
Gu Mian rose and left. She could only breathe a little easier after leaving the table. When she inquired at the counter, the boss said that Tang Zui had already footed the bill.
Gu Mian frowned as she stood in front of the counter and hesitated. She did not feel like returning to the table.
When the agonizing meal was finally over, Gu Mian was ready to flee the scene.



Tomorrow, a really close friend of mine and Jue’s will be coming back from Africa. We’ll be throwing a party to welcome him back. Chick, why don’t you join us with your friend? The more the merrier.
Tang Zui invited them with a smile.
When Gu Mian heard what Tang Zui said, her breathing froze, and she could feel her limbs go weak. The pain between her thighs intensified by a thousand times, and she was so nervous that she was trembling slightly.
