Jiangnan International Building.
Eighteenth floor, Western restaurant.
Xie Zijue and Jiang Ya sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with grim faces, looking down at the bustling traffic and dazzling lights below. Their facial features were almost distorted.
"This steak looks good; Lu Huai should like it."
"And this dessert, I remember he really liked sweets."
"Hmm, what should I order for a drink..."
"And a fruit salad or something."
"And some vegetable salad, too..."
Xie Zijue stared stiffly as Qin Wan's slender, pale fingers flew across the menu...
"This, this, and this..."
After ordering more than a dozen dishes, Qin Wan reluctantly handed the menu to Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue.
"I've finished ordering. Is there anything else you two would like to eat, or anything else you'd like to order?"
After glancing at the dozen or so dishes Qin Wan had ordered, Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue exchanged a look, their expressions quite unpleasant.
"How about we leave it at that for now?"
"Yes, Wanwan, there are only four of us, we can't eat that much. Let's not order too much, so as not to waste food."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan waved her hand dismissively and said, "No way, let me tell you, Lu Huai has a great appetite!"
"With him around, there's absolutely no chance of not being able to finish the food!"
Jiang Ya: "..."
Xie Zijue: "..."
So she deliberately invited a competitive eater to make things difficult for the two of them?
Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue fell into deep thought for the first time, considering the exorbitant prices of the dishes on the menu.
Both of them couldn't help but wonder if they could really still profit from Qin Wan.
They were tricked out of four thousand yuan by borrowing money from them again.
The implication was that they needed to equip the props again.
Now they're shamelessly forcing them to treat them to a meal.
To make them bleed profusely, she even deliberately invited a competitive eater...
Thinking of this, Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue exchanged a glance, and the two couldn't help but ponder deeply.
Did Qin Wan discover something?
Her attitude these past few days has been really strange.
Or did someone say something to Qin Wan?
Did this cause Qin Wan to misunderstand them?
This issue must be clarified, otherwise, if things continue like this, they'll have to give back everything they gained from Qin Wan!
The thought of their cooked duck flying away made Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue feel extremely bad.
While texting Lu Huai on WeChat, urging him to come quickly, Qin Wan also kept an eye on the exchange of glances between Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue out of the corner of her eye.
What exactly is the relationship between these two?
They don't look like a couple...
Jiang Ya was even secretly helping Xie Zijue pursue her.
Her slender, fair fingers tapped lightly on the table. Qin Wan frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Lu Huai arrived quickly.
"Qin Wan".
Seeing the fine beads of sweat on Lu Huai's forehead, Qin Wan frowned slightly, picked up a tissue from the table, and got up to walk towards him.
"Quickly wipe it clean."
"Come and sit down."
As she spoke, Qin Wan naturally took Lu Huai's arm and walked to Jiang Ya's side.
"Jiang Ya, go sit with Xie Zijue."
Jiang Ya: "..."
If she remembered correctly, Qin Wan had specifically asked her to sit next to her when she entered.
so what?
What does Qin Wan mean now?
"Jiang Ya?"
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Qin Wan frowned and stared at her strangely, as if she didn't understand why she was staying here and refusing to leave.
Jiang Ya: "..." Damn it!!!
"Why don't I go sit with Jiang Ya?"
Seeing that Jiang Ya was about to lose her temper and explode on the spot, Xie Zijue quickly stood up and spoke up to smooth things over.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wan refused to back down at all, and waved her hand, saying domineeringly, "No need for such trouble, just let Jiang Ya sit there."
"After all, my bag is still inside."
"And my bowls and chopsticks have all been used."
"If I sit there, I'll have to bring my bag and bowls and chopsticks, which is too much trouble."
Jiang Ya: "???"
So you're the one who needs to take the bag and the bowls and chopsticks?
Am I not the same?
Jiang Ya's chest heaved violently with anger. She desperately wanted to vent, but Xie Zijue kept winking at her, repeatedly hinting and reminding her to hold back, that she absolutely had to hold back.
"There's really no need to go through all that trouble."
"Let Qin Wan and her friend sit here."
“I’ll sit with you, Zijue.”
After speaking, Jiang Ya took several deep breaths to quickly compose herself before standing up and handing her bag to Xie Zijue, asking him to put it away.
She carried her bowl and chopsticks over and sat down next to Xie Zijue.
Seeing this, Qin Wan finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Jiang Ya has such a good temper."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't miss out on tonight's dungeon raid!"
Hearing these words, which sounded like a promise, Jiang Ya's unpleasant expression improved slightly.
Yes.
As long as she can achieve her goal and profit from Qin Wan.
It's not impossible to tolerate and endure some things appropriately.
She just treated it as being difficult by her boss and clients in order to make money.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Ya's frustrated mood improved a lot.
However, Qin Wan had no intention of letting them off so easily...
"Lu Huai, here's the menu. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to eat."
"Since you weren't here, I just ordered some random things. I don't know if you'll like them."
Lu Huai glanced casually at the dishes Qin Wan had handed him, and his pupils contracted slightly.
"That should be enough..."
In particular, when his gaze fell upon the prices of the dishes listed on the menu, Lu Huai subconsciously frowned, his expression becoming slightly serious.
"Is it not enough?"
"Then order a few more dishes. Xie Zijue is treating tonight, and he's very generous!"
Originally, Lu Huai was wondering if the prices here were too high.
Upon hearing that Xie Zijue was the one hosting the dinner, Lu Huai's eyebrows immediately relaxed.
"Could we order another one of their signature steaks?"
"Another bottle of red wine, I remember you really like it." As he spoke, Lu Huai looked at Qin Wan beside him.
Their eyes met, and Qin Wan smiled, her lips curving upwards. Lu Huai seemed to be infected as well, his eyebrows and eyes crinkling.
Seeing this, Xie Zijue and Jiang Ya, who were standing to the side, looked as if they had swallowed flies, their faces turning extremely sour.
"Qin Wan, that's enough, you've ordered enough."
"Xie Zijue comes from an ordinary family, and his monthly living expenses are limited. We should be more frugal and cut back on spending."
"Otherwise, I'm worried he won't even have enough for living expenses next month..."
Jiang Ya couldn't stand Qin Wan pushing her luck and trampling on their good temper and tolerance.
"I didn't expect you to care so much about Xie Zijue..." Qin Wan raised an eyebrow and suddenly stared at Jiang Ya with a gossipy look on her face.
"Could it be that something's going on between you two?"
Jiang Ya choked.
Xie Zijue's expression also stiffened.
"Wanwan, you've misunderstood. Jiang Ya and I aren't in the kind of relationship you're thinking of," Xie Zijue explained irritably.
For some reason, Qin Wan's behavior these past two days has made him increasingly irritable and impatient.
Previously, Jiang Ya suggested that he pursue Qin Wan and make money in the game together through Qin Wan. Although he felt a little guilty and reluctant at the time, he also felt that it was not unacceptable.
After all, Qin Wan is beautiful, has a great figure, and a cheerful, generous, and easy-going personality.
Even if things turn out to be real in the end, he won't lose anything.
But Qin Wan's behavior these past two days had become increasingly irritating to him, and his patience had reached its limit...
