"Spicy crab?"
Ye Xiao's words really made Jiang Miaoke curious. How could there still be spicy crab? Didn't Kang Xiaokai buy them all?
Ye Xiao chuckled, picked up a big prawn with his chopsticks and placed it on Jiang Miaoke's plate with a smile. "What you just said reminded me. Kang Xiaokai is indeed deliberately messing with me, buying all the spicy crab on purpose. But if he realizes it later, I'm sure he'll regret it a lot because it's not just me who came here to eat spicy crab. The most important person is you."
"So what? Is he going to deliver it to us for free?" Jiang Miaoke scoffed.
Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Not necessarily. Let's see. If we finish eating and he still doesn't send us the spicy crab, you can order anything you want."
"You said it," Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao, beginning to plot how to waste his money.
Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Of course, I said it."
"But why would he send it to us?" Jiang Miaoke was still puzzled and asked curiously.
Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "He won't send it to me. He'll send it to you. If I eat the spicy crab he sends, haha, he'll definitely laugh at me."
"Then I won't eat it either," Jiang Miaoke said with a serious face. "People should have integrity."
"Integrity doesn't fill the stomach. If I were you, I would definitely eat it," Ye Xiao laughed.
"You really have no integrity!" Jiang Miaoke glared at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao didn't say anything. He picked up a piece of sweet and sour spare ribs and took a big bite, immediately praising it.
Perhaps it was because of Ye Xiao's words, as Jiang Miaoke ate, she occasionally glanced towards the stairs leading to the second floor. Clearly, due to Ye Xiao's words, she also wanted to see if Ye Xiao's guess was correct.
Ye Xiao, on the other hand, was too absorbed in eating to care about anything else, neglecting his table manners. As he ate, he praised the food as truly delicious, acting like a country bumpkin in the city.
At this moment, Ye Xiao's phone suddenly rang.
So, Ye Xiao took out his phone, saw it was an unknown number, and found it odd, but he still answered it immediately.
"Who is this?" Ye Xiao asked while gnawing on a rib.
"Is this Mr. Ye Xiao?" The voice on the other end was a woman, and it was very sweet.
Ye Xiao always enjoyed listening to sweet voices from women, so he immediately smiled and said, "I am Ye Xiao."
"Let me introduce myself. I'm An Meihui, hoping to become friends with Mr. Ye."
It's quite something for a woman to call out of the blue, saying she wants to be friends.
The person who believes such a thing is either a fool or a mindless wolf. Clearly, Ye Xiao didn't belong to those two categories.
"Miss An, it's an honor to have your favor. However, I'm currently having a meal with a lady, so everything will have to wait until after," Ye Xiao did not refuse outright. After all, he believed that this so-called An Meihui wasn't just a simple person.
Ye Xiao didn't think his charm had reached a level where people who hadn't met him would be smitten.
People should have the wisdom of self-awareness.
"Alright, I'll wait for an appropriate time to call again. Please continue your meal with the lady," An Meihui said with a smile.
This woman's voice was truly pleasant, very gentle.
"Hey, who was calling?" Jiang Miaoke's suspicious eyes fell on Ye Xiao. Clearly, a faint woman's voice had come through on the call.
Hearing Jiang Miaoke's question, Ye Xiao quickly looked up at her, chuckled, and said, "A woman, wanting to be friends with me. Can't help it, I'm handsome."
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Come on, where did you hook up this time?" Jiang Miaoke didn't quite trust Ye Xiao's character.
"I really don't know!" Ye Xiao said with a bitter face, though he was telling the truth.
Jiang Miaoke wasn't convinced by Ye Xiao's 'truth' and was ready to question him, but at that moment, Ye Xiao winked at her.
"What's up?" Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao's eyes and asked, "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Ye Xiao looked at a nearby spot, smiled, and whispered, "The person delivering the crab has arrived."
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Jiang Miaoke immediately turned her head to look towards the stairs. Sure enough, a waiter was walking over with a plate of spicy crab, followed by seven or eight people, half of them men and half women. At this point, they were all looking over at Ye Xiao and Jiang Miaoke. Obviously, their target was Ye Xiao and Jiang Miaoke.
Jiang Miaoke saw them, then shifted her gaze back to Ye Xiao and said, "Looks like you guessed right."
Ye Xiao immediately grinned proudly and said, "Of course, but there's only one plate, so tell me, how should we eat it?"
"I'm not eating what they sent over, hmph, this is charity. I, Jiang Miaoke, haven't sunk to such a pathetic level. What about you, are you eating?" Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao, full of inquiry.
Ye Xiao looked at the spicy crab with its red and yellow hues and chuckled, "If I can, of course I'm going to eat it. It's free, who wouldn't?"
"Ye Xiao, I despise you!" Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao with disdain in her eyes.
But, that guy Ye Xiao had no awareness of being despised at all. On the contrary, he was happily getting ready to eat the crab.
Not long after, a voice came over.
"Coco is really here. We thought Young Master Kang was just teasing us!" said a girl around Jiang Miaoke's age, her looks slightly less impressive, as she laughed.
Jiang Miaoke heard the girl's voice and turned to look at them again.
"What's this?" Jiang Miaoke also pretended not to know, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Young Master Kang said he accidentally ordered all the spicy crabs at Youle Residence today, and since Coco loves spicy crab so much, he had us bring over a plate. Coco, Young Master Kang really cares about you." At this moment, another girl chimed in laughingly to Jiang Miaoke.
Jiang Miaoke said, "We don't plan to eat spicy crab today. There are sweet and sour ribs and spicy shrimp here. Do you want to eat?"
"How can these compare to the biggest specialty dish from Youle Residence, spicy crab? Coco, don't you especially love eating spicy crab? These are all for you. I'm sure Young Master Kang would be very happy to know you ate the spicy crab he sent."
Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Miaoke, and at this moment, Jiang Miaoke also looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao gave Jiang Miaoke a look, clearly meaning she should accept the plate of spicy crab. Who cares about face? Taking advantage is the way to go.
However, Jiang Miaoke did not share Ye Xiao's way of thinking. She shifted her gaze to the spicy crab and said firmly, "Take it away."
"Huh?" The people who brought the crab were immediately puzzled, looking at Jiang Miaoke, clearly not expecting her to be so blunt.
"Coco, these are the fattest ones Young Master Kang picked out."
"Then let him eat them himself. I'm not eating crab today," Jiang Miaoke said, leaving no room for argument.
The seven or eight people exchanged glances at each other. Clearly, the plan instructed by someone upstairs had gone astray.
At this moment, a guy among the seven or eight suddenly smiled and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Miaoke, who is this person dining with you?"
"The person eating here with me is obviously my boyfriend," Jiang Miaoke said with a smile.
"No way, we've never heard that Miaoke has a boyfriend. Are you just mad at Young Master Kang and pulled a random loser over as a shield?"
As soon as he said this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but look at the guy, and Jiang Miaoke looked at the guy as well.
Ye Xiao managed to keep his cool and didn't speak, but just because he stayed quiet didn't mean no one else would speak up.
"Liuu Mao, do you have the guts to say that again?" Jiang Miaoke immediately exploded.
"Miaoke, why are you so angry? Liuu Mao isn't very articulate, but this friend here didn't even acknowledge us when we came over. Isn't that a bit rude?"
"Who decides what's polite or not? He's my boyfriend, and that's enough." Jiang Miaoke's expression was very unpleasant, and she kept glancing at Ye Xiao, clearly giving him hints.
However, apart from his expression changing slightly when he heard Liuu Mao's 'loser' comment, Ye Xiao remained silent, sitting there with his eyes fixed on the spicy shrimp and sweet and sour ribs on the table, as if he had nothing to do with the situation.
"No way, how can this guy be your boyfriend, Miaoke? Look, we've been talking for ages, and as a man, he didn't react at all. Isn't he a bit too soft? Is this the so-called pretty boy? Haha."
Immediately, those people laughed, attracting many others to look over.
Were they here to deliver spicy crab? Obviously not, they were here to deliberately humiliate Ye Xiao. Clearly, this was arranged by someone.
Jiang Miaoke's face turned extremely ugly as she suddenly stood up sharply. However, she didn't look at the people mocking Ye Xiao, instead, she looked at Ye Xiao.
Jiang Miaoke couldn't understand whether Ye Xiao was tolerating it or intentionally letting her lose face here. After all, Ye Xiao was supposed to be her boyfriend, even if she knew it was fake, to outsiders, it seemed real.
How could Ye Xiao not notice Jiang Miaoke's emotional surge? Just as Jiang Miaoke stood up, Ye Xiao suddenly laughed heartily, as if he had encountered the happiest thing in the world.
