176: Uninvited Guest (2)

Uninvited Guest (2)

As the two young men were glaring at each other fiercely, Li Chunhua cleared her throat in the most elegant manner she could muster. Sure enough, that was enough to shift their attention to her.0

"Gentleman, if you want to fight, can you please do it somewhere else? Please don't use an innocent bystander like me as the means for your fight."

"But I'm serious about my offer, though? It's my first time seeing a customer here, so I'm kind of curious about what kind of reason you have to give this place a chance."

"Have you said enough already? Just go if you dislike being here so much!" Shao Jingfei growled.

Li Chunhua gently held on to Shao Jingfei's arm as though she was trying to stop him. "Please don't show such a scary face. It's okay; we are just going to have a little chat."

Shao Jingfei looked at Li Chunhua incredulously while feeling shivers all over his body. He only had ever seen her act fiercely, so when she suddenly switched gears and turned meek like this, it scared the soul out of him.

"The hell are you talking about? When did this matter suddenly become about you? Listen here, I'm not—"

Li Chunhua ignored him and cut his sentence by talking to the young man instead. She also didn't forget to flash a bashful smile while she was at it. "If you don't mind talking with me, I will gladly accept your offer." 

The young man, of course, immediately brightened at her agreement. He smiled smugly at Shao Jingfei as he waved his hand nonchalantly. "Bring us two cups of tea, waiter boy. We are going to order something."

Shao Jingfei's vein bulged out in anger seeing his cousin walk past him and having the time of his life chatting with that double-faced girl. Judging from the situation, he knew that Li Chunhua was doing this on purpose to get back at him, but he really couldn't stand seeing his cousin's fish-like face around his sanctuary!

Meanwhile, Li Chunhua laughed triumphantly, seeing Shao Jingfei, who could only stand there while clenching his fist. She finally could get revenge on him for playing with her earlier. It made her mood go up, and even this newcomer's fish-like face became more tolerable in her eyes.

"Hm? Jingfei, can you bring us our drinks quickly? I am thirsty." Li Chunhua said with a sweet but poisonous smile. 

Shao Jingfei got goosebumps all over her body, hearing her calling his name intimately like that. Until a few minutes ago, she still called him with 'hey' or 'you', but now she acted like they were best buddies. 

What scared him was that her actions didn't look unnatural in the least. The duality in her personality rendered him speechless.

'Yeah, there's no way Li Caiyi could ever sleep peacefully with a scheming little sister like her. She is a saint, undoubtedly,' Shao Jingfei thought while praying for Li Caiyi's sanity inside. 

"Hurry and bring us our order, waiter boy, don't just stand there like an idiot," said the young man in the red shirt.

Shao Jingfei clicked his tongue and walked away with stomped feet. Li Chunhua was so satisfied she couldn't stop a broad smile from appearing on her face.

"You seem happy. Do you like spending time with me so much?"

Li Chunhua suppressed the urge to roll her eyes as she looked at the young man sitting across from her. One glance, and she could tell that his outfit and accessories came from an expensive brand. It was a shame his face and personality were anything but expensive, though.

'What kind of person came here just to mock his cousin for working part-time? He must have a lot of free time in his hand,' she thought.

The young man had a slightly chubby face with large, bulging eyes. His face was oily and looked wet under the sunlight. The way he opened and closed his mouth to talk reminded her of a fish, and it kind of made his face look like one, too.

She didn't want to talk to him, but she guessed it was a well-worth sacrifice if she could make Shao Jingfei feel bad because of it.

"Well, yes, of course, I'm happy. No boy ever asked me to drink coffee together before." Li Chunhua said while still maintaining her bashful smile. 

His eyes widened even more upon hearing that. "No way, you must be joking. There's no way a boy would ever pass up a chance to spend time with you."

"No, it's the truth. I'm a shy person, so they probably think talking to me is boring. That's why nobody ever asked me before."

The young man smiled widely, and Li Chunhua knew that she already had this guy in her palm. She sneered inwardly.

'Men are the same everywhere. A girl only needs to say 'you are the first one', and it would inflate their ego like a balloon. How laughable.'

"There's nothing to be nervous about. I am not the type that will ask any girl out to spend time with me. I will only ask those I am interested in, and it's been a while since I was interested in girls, except for you. You are too pretty, so I can't take my eyes off of you."

Li Chunhua felt like she wanted to gag hearing that cheesy pickup line. She would rather bang her head to the wall rather than believing his words.

"Is that so? Well, thank you. I'm so flattered you think that way."

"But I'm surprised to see you know my cousin. Are you guys close or something?"

"Not really, but we knew each other."

"I advise you not to interact too much with him. If you are interested in him by chance, you probably want to change your target for me. Since you wouldn't get anywhere with someone like him. I'm clearly a much better choice than him."

Li Chunhua could already smell gossip from miles away. She only responded to his nonsense because this guy was still useful, but who would have guessed he would blurt out information regarding Shao Jingfei without her asking?

She saw this as a chance and pried deeper. "Uhm, it's not an interest per se, but I kind of want to know now that you mention it. I'm sorry if it's rude, but judging from how nice your outfit is, I assume both of you come from a wealthy family? Why did Jingfei work here, then?"

The young man smiled smugly as he tried to play it cool, but he only looked like a pufferfish in Li Chunhua's eyes. Nevertheless, she patiently waited for him to reply.

"I don't mean to brag, but my family is indeed pretty well off in this city. My name is Shao Qian, by the way. You must have heard of Glorious Days company before?"
