251: Stir Up His Inner Temptations

Stir Up His Inner Temptations

She smiled lightly at Huo Yunshen. "Mr. Huo, guess who I met this evening?"1

"Who?"

"Your cousin, Huo Jingtang. I didn't expect him to be dining at the restaurant."

Xu Xiyan decided not to tell him about Huo Jingtang's threats towards her in the men's bathroom.

"Oh, he was there for a blind date," Huo Yunshen remembered, so it was not surprising that Xu Xiyan had encountered Huo Jingtang at the restaurant.

Also, for that very reason, he had not entered the restaurant and chose to wait for her outside.

"With Xue Yating?" Xu Xiyan asked.

"Yeah." Huo Yunshen could not tell her that the person who had been arranged to go for the blind date was originally him.

The two continued to chat leisurely and before they knew it, the luxurious van had arrived at a night market in Peijing.

People were crowding the alley and vendors on both sides of the road began to get busy. Many diners sat in front of the stalls and ate delicious street food.

Xu Xiyan pushed Huo Yunshen into the alley. Huo Yunshen was surprised to see the noisy night market. He had never been to this kind of market before.

Xu Xiyan guessed that a noble young master like him would hardly come to a place like this, let alone eat the street food here.

They attracted a lot of attention as they entered the alley together, probably because Huo Yunshen was in a wheelchair, but fortunately, the night was dark and no one recognized them.

Xu Xiyan pushed Huo Yunshen into a tent and found a place to sit down, then went outside to order some grilled food and other snacks like spicy skewers. She also ordered two bowls of beef vermicelli soup.

After the food was served on the table, Xu Xiyan handed Huo Yunshen a pair of disposable chopsticks. "Eat, Mr. Huo. Please, help yourself."

Huo Yunshen took the chopsticks and split them into two from the middle, then tasted a slice of beef from the vermicelli soup. His eyes lit up. "Mmm, it tastes good."

"Delicious, right? Me and Orange used to come here for food during our school days and we've tried all the food in this alley. Take the beef vermicelli soup for an example: I went abroad for five years and, after coming back, the stall was still here and the taste was just as good as before." Xu Xiyan spoke cheerfully, her smile bright. She took in a big mouthful of beef vermicelli.

She was worried that Huo Yunshen was being polite at the table and picked food for him with her chopsticks as she ate. "Try this fish ball, it's super delicious. I guarantee you will be addicted to it after one bite."

"Okay, I will try it."

Huo Yunshen tried a lot of food under her recommendations.

The food tasted quite good. It was different than eating in a restaurant or at home. It was cheap yet delicious.

While they were eating, Huo Yunshen occasionally stole glances at Xu Xiyan. The way she ate was amusing; she wasn't prim or proper like a lady.

She gobbled up her food with no regard of her own image. There was a lot of chili paste in the beef vermicelli soup and she was sucking in air through her mouth and small beads of sweat were forming on the tip of her nose. Despite that, she was enjoying the spiciness of the food.

The air was warm in the tent. The spiciness caused Xu Xiyan to feel like she was on fire and she was sweating all over. She took off her light jacket and tied her long hair up into a bun.

Xu Xiyan wore a low-necked black t-shirt which she usually wore for her workouts. The shirt was very fitting and easily outlined her perfect curves and waist, exposing the smooth and fair skin on her neck and arms.

From Huo Yunshen's perspective, as he sat facing Xu Xiyan, he only needed to slightly lift his gaze to see the mesmerizing view near her neckline.

Huo Yunshen raised his eyes and took a quick glance, then lowered his head back to his food, embarrassed at what he saw and not daring look at her again. He was afraid that if he was to take another look, it would stir up his inner temptations.
