Chapter 209: An Unexpected Encounter

Lujiazui, one of the most prosperous areas in Shanghai, was at the peak of the lunch hour. Numerous business elites walked hurriedly out of those towering, high-end office buildings; some walked in groups of three or two, discussing enthusiastically what to eat for lunch, while others were lost in silent thought, seemingly still immersed in their work.

People and traffic surged on the road like a weave. Following the flow of traffic, Shen Yan arrived at the aforementioned shopping mall and saw a tall figure from afar; a pair of slender, jade-like legs wrapped in black silk reached the peak of allure.

The head-turning rate was nearly one hundred percent.

Young men couldn't help but stop in their tracks, stealing glances from time to time, wanting to look but not daring to.

The lechers were much simpler and cruder. Under the heckling of his colleagues, a young man in a suit and tie, possessing the air of a social elite, gently brushed his slightly messy hair, revealed a smile he considered dashing and charismatic, and then stepped forward with a confident gait to strike up a conversation.

"Beauty, if I guess your surname, can I add your QQ?"

"Not adding it, I have a husband." Wu Yue'er shot him a sideways glance, her refusal decisive and crisp.

"Ah?" The man looked as if he had been struck by lightning, as if he had lost his love, his face filled with despair.

Although Wu Yue'er wore no makeup on her pretty face, her appearance was youthful and vibrant, like a flower waiting to bloom, but she excelled in her fashionable style. Her slightly curly, cold tea-brown hair fluttered gently in the wind, and those extremely alluring black-silk legs made her look even more mature and charming.

Getting married early was not an impossible thing.

Sigh! Another good cabbage has been arched by a pig.

Just as the man was about to leave with sorrow, he saw Wu Yue'er running toward a tall, handsome man, kissing and hugging him, and clinging to his arm like a little bird.

The man felt his heart shatter into pieces and, amidst the teasing of his colleagues, ran away in tears.

Ignoring Wu Yue'er's ingratiating smile, with a "slap" sound, Shen Yan smacked her perky little butt, the flesh wobbling and swaying with plenty of bounce.

"Little slut, is your butt still itchy?" Shen Yan tightened his face, feigning anger.

Afraid of being disciplined again, Wu Yue'er hurriedly kissed his face a few times and said with a giggle, "Husband, you're so amazing, you cured me with just one touch."

"Alright, then I'll do it a few more times to prevent a relapse in the future."

Seeing him gesture as if to hit her again, Wu Yue'er immediately put on a pitiful expression and said something shocking: "Husband, my period hasn't left yet; if you hit me again, I'll bleed everywhere."

"Cough, cough!"

Shen Yan was stunned to the core; this reason was invincible, so he let her off for now.

As if she had won a battle, Wu Yue'er held Shen Yan's arm, emitting silver-bell-like laughter as they walked. She really enjoyed the feeling of flirting with Shen Yan like this, especially on the main road, where those envious gazes made her feel physically and mentally refreshed.

It was as if they were saying: "What a pair of celestial lovers!"

Walking and stopping in the vicinity, after asking around a few times, the two arrived at the entrance of a shop called "Steam Seafood." The storefront was exquisitely decorated, and the sign was inlaid with golden characters that shone brilliantly, giving people a high-end feeling.

As soon as they entered, the first thing that caught their eyes was the display window showing seafood ingredients: king crab, Australian lobster, geoduck, sea snails, crayfish... a wide variety that was dazzling.

Australian lobster was priced at 450 per jin, king crab at 550 per jin...

Wu Yue'er drooled as she watched.

She had never tried a seafood feast of this grade; it was so luxurious she couldn't imagine it, and it was Shen Yan's first time here as well.

Under the waiter's introduction, they first ordered an eight-jin king crab, big enough to block a person's face, then two Australian lobsters, palm-sized sea snails, a small bucket of crayfish...

A rough calculation estimated the total amount to be fifteen thousand.

After sitting down in the private room, Wu Yue'er was extremely excited. She asked Shen Yan if she could take photos and post them on her feed later.

Shen Yan hesitated: "You can take one or two separately, just say you met a wealthy boss who treated you to a meal while modeling. Otherwise, idle gossip might spread, which isn't good for your reputation."

"Mm-hmm!" Wu Yue'er naturally understood this point and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

As the seafood was served one by one, the aroma filled the entire private room.

The two couldn't wait to start tasting.

The most impressive was the large Australian lobster; its two big claws were stuffed with fresh, juicy meat. After dipping it in the special sauce and putting it in his mouth, a rich, fresh flavor immediately spread in his mouth, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Then there was the plump king crab; the crab roe and meat revealed inside were even more mouth-watering. Every bite allowed one to feel the delicacy and freshness of the meat.

That wonderful taste... could only be summarized in four words.

Indescribably wonderful.

"Husband, it's the first time I've known that seafood could be this delicious." Wu Yue'er bit off a large piece of shrimp meat, her pretty face full of satisfaction.

After eating, she still licked the juices around her lips, feeling unsatisfied.

Shen Yan wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and said dotingly, "Eat slowly. If you like it, I'll bring you again when I have time."

"Husband, you're so good!"

After eating and drinking their fill, Wu Yue'er let out a satisfied burp and then uploaded the two photos she had just taken to her feed.

One was of the king crab, and the other was of the Australian lobster.

She added a line of text: "Met a wealthy boss who treated me to a meal while attending a business event, a little bit awesome!"

Not long after the post was published, comments poured in underneath.

Lin Yang: "Damn! This must cost several thousand, right?"

Zhu Baoping: "Beauty Wu, please take me with you (envious)"

Luo Qiqi: "Woooo! Envious to tears, it looks so delicious."

Yu Youwei: "The fast food in the cafeteria suddenly doesn't smell good anymore (drooling)"

Yuan Mingqing: "My god! These claws are thicker than my arms."

Chen Shanni: "Living the good life, huh!"

Hao Anqi: "It must be very satisfying to eat (drooling)"

Wu Yue'er replied to them one by one. When she saw Hao Anqi's comment, a sense of superiority suddenly arose. She pointed her phone at Shen Yan and asked, "Have you never taken the little vixen to eat such a big feast? She's even drooling."

Swallowing the shrimp meat in his mouth, Shen Yan wiped his mouth with a tissue, then took out a lollipop and put it in his mouth; the series of movements was smooth and fluid.

After doing this, he said calmly: "I've been too busy lately to attend to it, I'll take her next time."

Hearing this, Wu Yue'er pouted, feeling a bit unhappy, but she couldn't say much more.

At the very least, she was far ahead in this regard.

After paying the bill at the cashier, Shen Yan turned around just as he was about to leave.

He didn't expect to have an unexpected encounter with someone.
