Chapter 286: I Am Really Very Interested In You
Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang both looked at Chen Zihao with unkind expressions, feeling somewhat incensed.
Chen Zihao, however, seemed completely indifferent; he reached out to push up his glasses, and instead of moving aside, he let out a soft huff while looking at Cai Xiaotang, his face full of mockery.
Jiang Baobao immediately cried out in her heart that this was bad.
The next second, she indeed heard Cai Xiaotang snap back directly: "What are you huffing at? Are you a pig? Don't you know how to speak like a human?"
She spoke without any restraint, making it clear that she intended to pick a fight with the person in front of her.
Chen Zihao's face darkened instantly, and he retorted unceremoniously: "Is the eldest miss of the Mu Family really this ill-bred? Not only can you find someone to stand in for a scheduled blind date, but now you're spouting nonsense in a public place. Aren't you afraid that if this reaches other people's ears, you'll lose the Mu Family's..."
"I'm not afraid!!!" Cai Xiaotang interrupted him sharply, stepping forward, her presence even more imposing than before.
"If you have the ability, go ahead and tell everyone! It's my first time seeing a man who acts like a gossiping shrew; it's truly an eye-opener. What kind of person I am is none of your business! Agreeing to go on a blind date with you was already doing you a favor. For someone like you, I feel disgusted just looking at you for one extra second!"
Cai Xiaotang was like a machine gun with its cover blown off, her mouth not stopping for a second as she blasted the other party to pieces!
Chen Zihao was left livid by Cai Xiaotang's insults, and he couldn't help but point at her and say: "You!"
He had only managed to say one word before his finger was slapped away by Cai Xiaotang!
"You what? Stop pointing fingers here! If you're so well-bred, didn't your parents tell you that when you're being scolded, you should stand at attention? I usually don't lecture people, but today I'll teach you a little lesson in how to be a human for free! It's best you don't let me see you again, or else every time I see you, I'll beat you up! If you have the ability, go tell my brother everything you just said; I'm not afraid! Anyway, you were the one who blocked my path first, and the surveillance cameras should have seen it all!"
Cai Xiaotang rattled off her words, unleashing a crazy barrage at the other party, finally leaving Chen Zihao unable to say a single word.
Jiang Baobao watched from the side, feeling completely impressed and laughing out loud without giving him any face at all.
This Chen Zihao was just too pathetic...
He had to come and provoke Xiao Tang today; daring to ruin her birthday mood, of course, he had to pay a price...
Jiang Baobao snickered to herself for a long while, and seeing that Cai Xiaotang had said about enough, she tugged at her arm and advised: "Xiao Tang, don't get angry at someone like this, let's go first..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the next second, her peripheral vision suddenly caught the door of the next private room being pulled open by someone.
A familiar figure appeared before their eyes, looking at them with interest, and then said in a languid tone: "I really didn't expect that while I stayed behind to take a call, I'd run into such an interesting scene..."
Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, feeling somewhat helpless in her heart.
Cai Xiaotang also stiffened abruptly, then turned to look at the person beside them, her expression becoming extremely subtle.
"Li Xiao? Why are you here too?"
Cai Xiaotang asked subconsciously, then rolled her eyes at the ceiling in speechlessness.
What kind of luck did she have today?
She actually ran into two blind date candidates in the same shop!
And she ran into both of them at the same time!
Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, suddenly having the urge to take out her phone and check the almanac.
Then she heard Li Xiao suddenly say to Chen Zihao: "I heard you like to tattle? If I didn't mishear just now, you were the one who blocked these two young ladies first, right?"
Li Xiao looked at Chen Zihao as if he were looking at a moron, his tone faintly disdainful, though a warning flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He happened to be here today to handle some matters.
He had taken a call before leaving, which delayed him, and he hadn't expected to hear such a "good show" outside the door.
Chen Zihao naturally recognized the person before him, and seeing that Cai Xiaotang clearly knew Li Xiao, he swallowed all his words and said tactfully: "Third Master Li, I still have some official business, excuse me."
He dropped the sentence and turned to leave.
Cai Xiaotang immediately said disdainfully behind his back: "Can't even say an apology, it's really bad luck to run into someone like this today!"
Chen Zihao's figure stiffened, his fists clenched tightly, but he didn't turn around; he only paused for two seconds before continuing to stride forward and leave.
Cai Xiaotang let out a disdainful cold snort and glared fiercely at his back; the good mood she had when she first arrived had been significantly dampened.
Then she heard Li Xiao say with a hint of teasing: "Compared to that one just now, am I, this blind date candidate, a lot more excellent?"
Cai Xiaotang felt another breath of air get stuck in her chest.
"You're not much better! Stop trying to gild your own lily!"
As she spoke, she subconsciously took a step back, making no effort to hide the disgust on her face.
Li Xiao couldn't help but want to tease her again, deliberately saying: "How is this gilding the lily? I'm clearly telling the truth. I was originally thinking of finding an opportunity to ask you out again, but I didn't expect to run into you here today. Doesn't that mean... we are very fated?"
As he spoke, he deliberately winked at Cai Xiaotang, looking as if he were very interested in her.
Jiang Baobao listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but look at Li Xiao thoughtfully, feeling somewhat surprised.
Could Li Xiao really like Xiao Tang?
Looking at him like this, it seems he really is very interested in her...
Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, the next second, she suddenly felt her wrist being grabbed firmly!
"Who has a fate with you! If I had known you were here, I would never have stepped foot in here today!"
Cai Xiaotang couldn't bear it anymore and retorted, then pulled Jiang Baobao and turned to leave without hesitation!
"Xiao Tang?"
Jiang Baobao was startled, her body already subconsciously turning to follow Cai Xiaotang's pace.
The two arrived at the entrance, and only then did Cai Xiaotang stop, her chest heaving continuously; she seemed to be quite angry.
Then, too lazy to even drive, she pulled Jiang Baobao and walked aimlessly toward the street ahead.
"Xiao Tang, don't be angry..."
Jiang Baobao carefully advised, her expression somewhat helpless.
Cai Xiaotang immediately said without thinking: "I'm not angry, I'm just a bit depressed. I clearly planned to have a happy birthday today, but who would have thought I'd be so unlucky—running into one blind date candidate was enough, but I actually ran into two!"
As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she suddenly stopped in front of a shop.
She stared inside for a few seconds, then waved her hand and said: "Let's eat at this one! I want to drink!"
Jiang Baobao paused, looking at the huge sign on the shop in front of them with the words "Grilled Skewers" written on it, and couldn't help but laugh through her tears.
A birthday that only comes once a year, spending it here... isn't that a bit too casual?
