Chapter 72 Problems Find You
Bai Chen now had a splitting headache. He did not know how to explain this to Xu Xue Ning.
He did not think he would be so unfortunate as to run into her like this.
If she happened to ask him why he looked so young, unlike the last time they met, Bai Chen did not know how to answer.
He was only hoping she would not ask.
Xu Xue Ning did not say anything. She kept glancing at him occasionally. Meanwhile, Xu Er Er chatted gleefully with Long Xu In.
All the food was served after about five minutes.
The food was all of the top quality and expensive, from Peking duck topped with sauce, stir-fried mapo tofu, shark fin soup, abalone, and much more.
Long Xu In had truly gone all out with the order. The smell of food was greatly tempting Bai Chen. He swallowed hard, his stomach twisting with hunger.
‘I will think about her later. Now, I’ll eat the food,’ he thought to himself.
He decided to think about Xu Xue Ning later. Now, he had to eat.
“Let’s eat,” Long Xu In said with a smile, inviting them all to eat.
Bai Chen did not hesitate. He started with the Peking duck. The warm rice on the plate in front of him quickly decreased.
The cute little girl Xu Er Er had ordered some fried rice, which she ate with relish.
Long Xu In and Xu Xue Ning did not have much appetite. They took a couple of bites and stopped.
After about 20 minutes, all the food on the table was finished by Bai Chen. He was extremely full and happy to have eaten such delicious dishes.
He drank a glass of cold water in one gulp.
“Are you full?” Long Xu In asked. If he was not, she would order more.
It was clear she truly intended to treat him to a meal.
“I am.” It would have been weird to say he was not full, since he had eaten way too much.
“You really can eat a lot, big bro. Do you want to share my ice cream with me?” Xu Er Er said with a smile. She was holding a cup of vanilla ice cream and was eating it with a spoon.
Bai Chen smiled and refused. “Thank you, but I’m already full.”
“Aren’t you Bai Chen?” Once he finished talking, an unfriendly and insulting voice sounded.
“What are you doing here? How can a person like you afford to eat at this restaurant?”
Bai Chen had to turn to look at the speaker. He saw a well-dressed gentleman who he instantly recognized as Ao Song.
Ao Song was not alone. He had come with a bald middle-aged man with a big stomach who was wearing a suit. He seemed like a businessman and possibly Ao Song’s father since their faces were similar in many ways.
Xu Xue Ning turned to look at Ao Song. Her gaze was very peaceful. No one knew what she was thinking now.
Long Xu In furrowed but did not turn to look, because she did not care about Bai Chen’s problem. She believed he could handle it easily by himself.
The cute little girl Xu Er Er puffed up her cheeks. She was not happy that they were saying bad things about Bai Chen, so she got up from her seat and turned to Ao Song.
“Who are you? How dare you insult big bro?” Xu Er Er stared at Ao Song and his dad.
Ao Song’s eyes widened a little when he saw Xu Er Er’s cuteness. But he was not happy with what she had said.
“Little girl, don’t you try to protect him.”
Ao Suan put up his hand to stop his son. “Little Song, let’s get going. I still have some business elsewhere.”
It was clear that he did not want his son to get involved with someone who was not worth caring about like Bai Chen.
In truth, he did now know Bai Chen. But yesterday his son had told him about how Bai Chen had tried to flirt with Li Lin using potato chips. That made him know of and look down on Bai Chen greatly.
Ao Song made a disgruntled sound at Bai Chen. Nevertheless, he listened to his father.
“You loser. Don’t you mess with Li Lin again or I will get you!”
Bai Chen blinked his eyes. He did not care about Ao Song’s words at all. It would be good if Ao Song did not mess with him. But if he messed with his parents and caused them trouble, he would certainly not hesitate to kill Ao Song!
“Er Er, come sit down.”
Long Xu In did not pay attention to Ao Song. She turned to speak to Xu Er Er. The cute little girl rolled her eyes a little but eventually sat back down as she was told.
“So beautiful!” The father and son’s eyes widened with surprise once they saw Long Xu In’s face.
If she had not turned, they would not have known that Bai Chen was sitting at the table with a beautiful lady.
“How is this possible? How could a loser like Bai Chen have the chance to dine with such a beautiful lady?” Ao Song exclaimed incredulously.
Ao Song was not the only one. His father did not want to believe it either. “Little Song, didn’t you say he was poor?”
“He really is poor, dad. But from what he is wearing today, it seems like he’s surely disguised himself to trick this beautiful lady. How else could she be dining with him?!?”
Ao Song exclaimed this moodily. He felt discontent and extremely jealous of Bai Chen.
“I need to get this girl!” he suddenly decided. He licked his lips lasciviously before walking towards the table where Bai Chen and the others were sitting.
Ao Suan did not say anything. He nodded in agreement. He himself also wanted Long Xu In.
He believed that with his wealth, he would never lose to someone like Bai Chen.
“Hey, beautiful. Would you like to go for a ride with me?”
Ao Song did not pay attention to Bai Chen, or to Xu Xue Ning, whose face was covered. Nor did he pay any mind to Xu Er Er. The only person he was interested in was Long Xu In.
