Dai'an is too weak; he can't even lift two cases of beer.
Li Huan deliberately asked, "Are you hungry and feeling weak? Why don't you eat a boxed lunch first?"
Dai'an, his face flushed with frustration, reluctantly put down the two cases of beer.
"Such rough work should be done by the servants."
Damn it, Dai'an was just a lackey, but because he was trusted by Ximen Qing, he thought he was superior to others.
Li Huan reached out and easily picked up the two cases of beer, smiling as he reminded, "If the boxed lunch gets cold, you'll be in trouble if Master Ximen blames you!"
Upon hearing this, Dai'an quickly led the way, taking Li Huan and Pan Jinlian to see Ximen Qing.
Li Huan walked and observed.
That damn Ximen Qing, his mansion is fucking huge!
It's all thanks to his father Simon Da's substantial wealth; otherwise, his son would have squandered it all long ago.
Although Dai'an was not strong, he was nimble and walked through the alley into the garden.
Li Huan asked in surprise, "Why are you in the garden instead of going to the front hall?"
Dai'an replied smugly, "My husband is resting in the study, waiting for his boxed lunch."
study?
Ximen Qing, who disliked reading and spent his days idly wandering around, actually had a study?
Li Huan almost burst out laughing, then realized what was going on.
Ximen Qing set up a study in the garden not only to show off and pretend to be a cultured person, but also to make it convenient to arrange some romantic and frivolous activities.
Once Pan Jinlian entered the study alone, it was like a fat sheep entering a wolf's den.
Soon, we arrived at the study.
Li Huan looked up and saw a plaque hanging above: Emerald Pavilion.
Cui Nima Egg.
Pan Jinlian called out in a sweet, melodious voice, "Master Ximen, the lunchbox has been delivered!"
Ximen Qing scurried out the door to greet Pan Jinlian.
When Ximen Qing saw Li Huan standing next to Pan Jinlian with a beer in his hand, he was stunned and his smile vanished instantly.
Dai'an hurriedly explained, "The two boxes of wine are extremely heavy, and I couldn't carry them myself, so I let him into the mansion..."
Snap!
Ximen Qing slapped Dai An hard across the face!
"Useless lackey! Trash!"
Dai'an covered his face and hurriedly knelt down.
Pan Jinlian said with a smile, "Master Ximen, don't be angry with your servants. Eat your boxed lunch while it's hot."
Ximen Qing suppressed his anger and tried to speak in a gentle tone: "My lady, you've had a long day. Come into the study and have a cup of fragrant tea."
Pan Jinlian declined, saying, "I am covered in grease and smell, how dare I enter your study, sir?"
Ximen Qing raised an eyebrow: "I only smell a delicate fragrance emanating from my wife, how could there be any smell of grease?"
Li Huan cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Ximen Qing is directly seducing Pan Jinlian, treating me like I don't exist!"
Pan Jinlian picked up the bag containing the boxed lunch and handed it to Ximen Qing.
"My lord is making fun of me. Please accept my lunchbox."
Ximen Qing reached out his hand to take the lunchbox, attempting to touch Pan Jinlian's hand, but missed instantly.
Li Huan quickly placed the two cases of beer by the door: "Check, please!"
Ximen Qing said unhappily, "What's the rush! Let me finish eating!"
He invited Pan Jinlian again: "My lady, please come into the study!"
Pan Jinlian smiled and asked, "My lord, would you like to have a boxed lunch or invite me for tea?"
Ximen Qing said, "Eating boxed lunches and serving tea to my wife, while admiring a beautiful woman and enjoying delicious food, is truly a feast for the eyes!"
Holy crap, Li Huan shuddered, goosebumps rising on his arms.
Ximen Qing truly deserves to be called the greatest lecher of all time!
Pan Jinlian blushed slightly: "How could a vulgar woman like me dare to enter the elegant abode of a sir? I appreciate your understanding, but please settle the bill."
Li Huan urged, "Hurry up and pay the bill. My car is parked outside. If it gets stolen, Master Ximen will be responsible for compensation!"
"That three-wheeled chariot is unique in the Central Plains. It was made by a foreign country and is worth ten thousand taels of silver!"
Upon hearing this, Ximen Qing couldn't help but show some apprehension.
When it comes to amusement and entertainment, Ximen Qing is a seasoned veteran, yet he has never seen a strange vehicle that does not require human power or horsepower.
Therefore, Ximen Qing believed that Li Huan's "three-wheeled chariot" was indeed produced in a foreign country and must be very expensive.
The man's eyes darted around, staring at Pan Jinlian's slender waist, before he grinned wickedly.
"If my wife doesn't want to drink tea, I won't force her! Tomorrow night, I'm hosting a banquet for my friends at the Lion Tower. Please make sure to deliver ten boxed meals to them!"
Pan Jinlian was overjoyed: "Don't worry, Master Ximen, it will be delivered on time."
Clearly, Ximen Qing failed today and is preparing to use drastic measures to capture Pan Jinlian tomorrow night.
Li Huan hurriedly said, "To order a boxed meal, you need to pay a 30% deposit."
Ximen Qing frowned slightly: "One hundred taels as a deposit?"
Li Huan said, "The ingredients for the boxed meals are expensive, so a deposit must be paid; otherwise, we will not accept reservations."
Ximen Qing hesitated for a moment, then instructed Dai'an to fetch four hundred taels of silver.
Li Huan accepted the silver and asked, "Does Master Ximen and his friend prefer spicy or sweet food?"
Ximen Qing laughed and said, "I have a strong palate; the spicier the better! Also, please give me a generous portion of king oyster mushrooms!"
After saying that, Ximen Qing gave Pan Jinlian a meaningful look.
Li Huan seized the opportunity and said, "Since Master Ximen loves spicy food, I'll give you a free serving of spicy chicken wings. They're absolutely delicious and irresistible!"
Ximen Qing said, "That's wonderful! I'd like to try it!"
Li Huan said no more and bid farewell to Pan Jinlian before leaving.
Watching Pan Jinlian's retreating figure, Ximen Qing couldn't help but swallow hard...
Li Huan drove an electric tricycle and took Pan Jinlian back to her residence.
Wang Po sat at the entrance of the teahouse, like an old hunting dog with a keen sense of smell, staring intently at Li Huan and Pan Jinlian.
"My lady, have you received the three hundred taels of silver from Master Ximen?"
