Chapter 417: Black-Bellied Escape

At 10:30 PM, the city's hustle and bustle gradually faded, and the lights in the alleys grew dim, yet the night market street remained exceptionally lively, crowded with people.

Besides all kinds of delicacies, there were stalls selling various unique handicrafts, accessories, and clothing; the vendors greeted customers enthusiastically, and the sounds of bargaining rose one after another.

Inside a barbecue restaurant.

Facing Sun Feifei, an old classmate who had long since turned sour, Luo Qiqi had no intention of swallowing her anger.

"You are too..."

Luo Qiqi had wanted to say that you are too much, acting as if you want to treat us like suckers to be slaughtered.

However, before she could finish, she was directly interrupted by Shen Yan.

"Right, Luo Qiqi, this meal doesn't require you to pay, so just go ahead and eat to your heart's content."

Seeing the sparks in Luo Qiqi's eyes and that she was ready to blow up on the spot, Shen Yan, who already had a plan in mind, gave her a look to stay calm.

When it came down to it, Luo Qiqi did not know Shen Yan well enough; she could not figure out what trick he was playing, nor could she grasp the meaning behind his look, thinking only that Shen Yan did not want the situation to become too awkward, and even less did he want her friendship with Sun Feifei to come to an end.

She intended to pay the bill herself and be done with it.

Even though this amount of money was a drop in the bucket for Shen Yan, Luo Qiqi was unwilling to let the matter rest.

Why should she?

She did not want to take advantage of others, and others should not think of taking advantage of her; money that shouldn't be spent absolutely must not be spent.

An old classmate like Sun Feifei was better off without!

"Shen Yan, there's no need for you to..."

Before she could finish, Shen Yan kicked her under the table again: "What need or no need, if I tell you to eat, then eat, don't talk so much nonsense."

Having her words forcefully interrupted again, Luo Qiqi finally had a moment of realization.

That's right! With Shen Yan's shrewdness, how could he not see through Sun Feifei's true nature?

Yet he didn't turn hostile to her face, but instead acted like a smiling tiger.

He was likely plotting something.

It wouldn't hurt to see how things played out first.

Thinking of this, Luo Qiqi said nothing more and lowered her head to eat on her own.

Sun Feifei naturally sensed Luo Qiqi's dissatisfaction and even her readiness to flip out on the spot, but she didn't care, instead chatting with Shen Yan with a charming smile.

"Handsome, you're generous enough; I like men like you. How about leaving your number?"

"Sure, 13xxxxx."

Sun Feifei hadn't expected the other party to be so straightforward, assuming that her curvaceous and graceful figure had piqued his interest, and she hurriedly used her phone to save the number.

Her powdered cheeks beamed as brightly as the stars.

Hahaha! I'm about to fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix.

Opposite her, Luo Qiqi's expression grew increasingly strange, and she secretly sent a message to Shen Yan on her phone.

"What kind of game are you playing?"

Shen Yan: "Let them order whatever they want; we'll finish eating quickly, then use the excuse of going to the restroom to run off."

This line of text was like a thunderbolt, leaving Luo Qiqi dumbfounded.

You can play it like this?

Gradually, Luo Qiqi's eyes grew brighter, feeling that this plan had a very high chance of success.

Serves you right! Who told you to treat us like suckers; this is called an eye for an eye.

Before, Luo Qiqi only knew that Shen Yan was quite mischievous and full of humor, but this was the first time she had seen such a black-bellied side to him; however, his badness made her like him even more.

Luo Qiqi's pretty face was flushed as if she had been drinking, and her little heart was thumping wildly.

Seeing that Shen Yan didn't care at all about the prices of the dishes, acting as if he had money and they could order whatever they wanted, Sun Feifei and Yao Lina flattered Shen Yan while unceremoniously ordering several more dishes.

And they specifically picked the expensive ones.

But in a barbecue restaurant, what kind of valuable ingredients could there be?

At most, a few hundred would be enough to stuff anyone to the brim.

In the time that followed, Shen Yan and Luo Qiqi sped up their eating, devouring everything, yet their movements remained elegant; Sun Feifei and Yao Lina ate more slowly, spending most of their time probing into Shen Yan's background.

Shen Yan spouted nonsense, half-truth and half-lie.

He claimed to have a thousand-square-meter villa in Shanghai, assets in the hundreds of millions, and a relative who was the head of a certain department, bluffing the two women until they were completely taken in.

Good heavens!

So the guy wasn't a rich second generation, but a powerful official second generation.

This thigh to hug was way too thick.

The two women's eyes sparkled with stars, their gazes filled with longing, wishing they could pounce on Shen Yan immediately.

Sun Feifei would occasionally rub her bare calves against Shen Yan's trousers.

Her cleavage dipped lower and lower.

A large expanse of fair skin made Shen Yan feel a bit dizzy.

One had to admit, the view was indeed sexy and charming, though it was hard to say how many people had "traversed the mountains and rivers" there.

Hearing Shen Yan solemnly spouting nonsense and playing the two of them like monkeys, Luo Qiqi remained calm on the surface, but inside she nearly laughed until she choked.

This guy is just too bad!

Bad in just the right way, making one so "annoying" (lovable, never tiring of looking at him).

All along, the other half of Luo Qiqi's ideals had to be career-driven, mature, and steady, while those boys in school were often ignorant and childish, knowing only about romance all day long.

It was truly hard to like them.

Yet, hidden in the mud was a pearl like Shen Yan, who had crashed straight into the bottom of Luo Qiqi's heart.

As their contact deepened, Luo Qiqi saw all kinds of shining points in Shen Yan that deeply attracted her; originally, Luo Qiqi did not like boys full of bad water, but this trait, when placed on Shen Yan, was so harmonious and full of charm.

Five minutes later, Shen Yan and Luo Qiqi had eaten and drunk their fill.

It was time to make a run for it.

Their gazes met, and Shen Yan stood up first: "My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, I'm going to the restroom first."

A minute after he left, Luo Qiqi also pretended to clutch her stomach and complained: "I don't know if the barbecue skewers weren't clean, I'm going to go relieve myself too."

Neither Sun Feifei nor Yao Lina thought much of it and told her to go quickly.

Hiding her figure around the corner of the wall and seeing that the two weren't paying attention, Luo Qiqi slipped out of the barbecue restaurant and trotted over to the Maybach parked at the intersection.

She opened the car door and nimbly slid inside.

Having completed the series of actions, Luo Qiqi could no longer hold back her laughter.

"Hehehe! Shen Yan, why didn't I realize before that you were so bad."

"Do you think they'll be so angry their lungs explode once they find out?"

As Shen Yan drove away, he grinned and said: "Who cares if they're angry or not, I feel great anyway."

"Hehe! I feel great too."

As if thinking of something, Luo Qiqi hurriedly reminded him: "Sun Feifei has your phone number; don't answer if she calls later, just block her."

"Do you take me for a fool? I wouldn't give her my real phone number when I'm already planning to run away."

"Then just now..."

Luo Qiqi suddenly realized that Shen Yan had just made up a string of numbers.

Honk honk honk!

Sun Feifei was probably going to be in for another round of anger.

Sure enough, when it came to IQ, Shen Yan was more than ten streets ahead of her.

Thinking of this, Luo Qiqi's fondness for Shen Yan deepened a little more.
