Are you blind!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, he saw a young man in his twenties furiously pointing at the waiter in front of him, cursing! Judging from his attire and demeanor, he seemed like a spoiled heir of a wealthy family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, sir!\" Ling Xi, dressed in the restaurant’s uniform, apologized meekly to the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is an apology supposed to be enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Xi was at a loss; indeed, she had bumped into this man when she turned around suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What would you like me to do then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she looked up, the man caught a glimpse of her beautiful face, and his gaze immediately turned lecherous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Touching his chin, \"The little girl is quite pretty, how about going out for a drive with Young Master here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch Ling Xi’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Xi dodged and said, \"I’m sorry, sir, I’m working!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t failed to notice the man’s lecherous gaze, but she didn’t know what to do at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Dijue, she was still on an internship salary, which wasn’t very high, so she would work in this restaurant on weekends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Working?
