Chapter 288

Between the two of them, it could only be said that they were just living together as companions.

As for liking...

Shu Xia stopped in time and did not continue to think about it.

Qiao Muting's eyes darkened slightly, "Without my permission, no media outlet would dare to report on my private life."

It seems she truly does not like him.

"Too overbearing," Shu Xia muttered.

Too much of an overbearing CEO!

But this one is a real CEO.

The two of them entered the restaurant.

The interior was decorated very luxuriously, as if walking into a large residence from ancient times.

Small bridges and flowing water, rockeries—everything one could expect was there.

The environment was quiet and secluded, with a hired musician playing the guzheng.

The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable.

After the two sat down, it wasn't long before almost all the dishes were served.

Every dish was very exquisite.

They were perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

Shu Xia had been running around to real estate developments all afternoon and was already hungry.

Halfway through the meal, Shu Xia felt some discomfort in her stomach, "I'm going to the restroom."

Qiao Muting nodded.

Just as Shu Xia stood up to go to the restroom, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Qiao, as long as you can help me, I will do anything. I have three daughters; whichever one you like, I will have her accompany you."

A middle-aged man, his face full of anxiety and pleading, reached Qiao Muting and was on the verge of kneeling.

Qiao Muting's brows were stern, his aura suddenly turning frigid, like a ruler in a high position, coldly looking down at the ant before him.

Under Qiao Muting's gaze, cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead.

He also realized that his actions were very abrupt.

But he was nearly at the end of his rope, so he didn't care whether it was abrupt or not.

What shocked Shu Xia even more was that a few seconds after the middle-aged man finished speaking, three beautiful women arrived in the private room.

Each one was more beautiful than the last.

Their figures were also more stunning than the next.

Two of them seemed to be minor celebrities; she had seen them in television dramas she watched.

Such an eye-opening and unimaginable event was actually happening in reality.

When the three beauties saw Qiao Muting, they all blushed slightly and called out to Qiao in delicate, coquettish voices.

Shu Xia suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat absurd.

The father pleading with Qiao Muting didn't look like a father at all, but rather like a pimp.

The middle-aged man wiped his sweat while looking at Qiao Muting, "Qiao, which one of them do you like?"

Seeing Qiao Muting's calm expression, without any surprise, Shu Xia understood that for Qiao Muting, such things must happen quite often.

Just as she was maliciously wondering if Qiao Muting had made a choice when faced with such temptations before.

Three great beauties, each one a feast for the eyes; if she were a man, she couldn't help but be tempted.

Qiao Muting glanced at Shu Xia.

Seeing Shu Xia appreciating the beauties like an outsider, his brows couldn't help but grow three parts colder.

"Who gave you the nerve?" Qiao Muting asked.

The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat, and the cold sweat on his head increased, "I... I... I just wanted to beg Qiao for help, and I couldn't let Qiao help for nothing."
