Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Shopping and Dinner_1
Big Cat carefully checked once more, then nodded at Feng Yuan before carefully placing Xiao Ji on the egg to ensure it wouldn’t fall off due to his movements. Then Feng Yuan stood up and said,
"All right, let’s check out."
Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Big Cat took out his bank card from the bag. Seeing that Big Cat was indeed paying, the sales assistant looked somewhat helpless and bowed to Feng Yuan, saying,
"Please follow me, the checkout is this way."
Watching Big Cat checking out, Feng Yuan asked the sales assistant,
"Where are the items now?"
The sales assistant smiled and gestured toward the distance, saying,
"You have quite a number of items, so after receiving the payment notification, we will deliver them to the rest area within ten minutes. If you can’t carry all the items, we can provide a mailing service."
Looking at Big Cat who was making the payment, Feng Yuan said,
"We probably won’t need that..."
"If you do need it, you can come to us, and if there’s anything else, you can also come to us."
After bowing with a smile and turning to leave, the sales assistant took the payment receipt from Big Cat. Feng Yuan patted Big Cat’s head and said,
"Let’s go, we’ll wait in the rest area. Can your bag fit all those items?"
Big Cat recalled the items he had purchased, thought for a moment, and then nodded to Feng Yuan. When they returned to the rest area, Feng Yuan saw Pei Yu storming out of the main entrance with anger and felt puzzled. As they waited in the rest area, staff members gradually came with the packaged goods for Feng Yuan to check. By this time, Xiao Ji had woken up and was lying on Feng Yuan’s head, watching Feng Yuan and Big Cat busy at work. After finally checking and collecting all of Big Cat’s items, Feng Yuan rubbed his shoulders and said,
"I’m exhausted... I should have let you handle it yourself."
"Wu~"
Big Cat spread his wings excitedly and hopped around, pulling out a discount coupon. Feng Yuan chuckled at Big Cat and said,
"This was attached to your items. Since we have a discount coupon, let’s go and try it out~"
"Wu~"
Feng Yuan added with a smile after seeing Big Cat joyfully spin in a circle,
"After all the trouble I went through with your items, it wouldn’t be too much to ask you to treat me to this meal, right?"
"Wu?!"
Big Cat hesitated for a moment and took out his bank card. Feng Yuan pushed the card back, tapped Big Cat on the head, and said,
"Just kidding~ It’s just a meal; I can certainly afford it~"
"Are you planning to rob me?"
Looking at the conspicuous prices on the menu, Feng Yuan skeptically looked at the waiter, who chuckled nervously and said,
"Sir, you jest. Our establishment is a high-end restaurant, and the food is prepared from carefully selected ingredients by a skilled chef. It’s definitely worth the price."
"Really? If I feel like I’m being ripped off, I won’t be polite."
"Sir, please feel free. The police station of the Eastern District is just next to the shopping center."
After being questioned repeatedly by Feng Yuan, the waiter, although smiling, had a hint of impatience in his voice. Feng Yuan sighed, ordered a few dishes, and said helplessly as he watched the waiter leave,
"It is so expensive. I hope it’s worth it, or I’ll tear down this rip-off place!"
"Then you’ll probably have to stay at the police station for a while~"
"You haven’t left yet?"
Feng Yuan said irritably, watching Gladys cover her mouth and giggle. She didn’t stand on ceremony with Feng Yuan, sat down directly across from him, and stared at him, saying,
"Intuition tells me that by staying here, I will solve the puzzle in my heart."
Feng Yuan looked unimpressed, lying back on the couch with his hands cushioning his head, and retorted,
"Cut it out. You can now glimpse into time. What riddle can’t you solve?"
Gladys smiled slightly, placed her index finger to her lips, and winked with one eye closed, saying,
"That’s a secret~"
"Cut it out. I don’t want to know, alright? Aren’t you leaving?"
"Did you have an appointment?~"
"No."
"Then you probably don’t mind if I stay here then~"
Feng Yuan looked curiously at Gladys and asked,
"Why are you so insistent on sticking around here?"
"I want to see how you’re going to tear down this place later~"
Seeing Gladys looking forward to the show, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but speak in irritation,
"Are you so sure I would take action?"
"After all, this restaurant sells its ambiance, and you don’t seem like someone who would factor in the environment into the price~"
Upon hearing Gladys’s words, Feng Yuan’s expression changed. He surveyed his surroundings and realized that indeed, the restaurant’s decor was exquisite, evidently lifting the spirits of the diners. Seeing Feng Yuan clutching the Wolf Tooth necklace on his chest, Gladys said with a smile,
"You’re not planning to have the White Wolf Deity come over for a meal without paying, are you?"
"Of course not! How could I be that kind of person!"
Bang! A loud noise prompted Feng Yuan to stand curiously on his chair and look over the partition, where he saw Pei Yu seemed to be arguing with that woman. A shattered teapot on the table indicated the origin of the loud noise. After pondering for a moment, Feng Yuan decided not to intervene. Gladys rested an arm on the table, supporting her head with a hand, and spoke with some disdain,
"There are always some people who act rudely in these upscale venues~"
"Why do I feel like you’re talking about me?"
"You’re overthinking it~"
"Alright, if you have nothing else, then leave, don’t bother me."
Feng Yuan waved his hand to dismiss her, and Gladys stood up with a slight smile, swaying her hips as she turned and walked away. Feng Yuan looked at the discount coupon in his hand and muttered somewhat speechlessly,
"No wonder they gave away a fifty percent off coupon; who in this dump has that much money to spend anyway."
"This discount coupon is a complimentary gift with a minimum purchase at the department center. If I may be so bold, could you please present your shopping receipt?"
After finishing a rather lavish dinner, Feng Yuan handed over the discount coupon when settling the bill. The staff member smiled as he scanned it and spoke to Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan grimaced and gestured for Big Cat to dig out the shopping receipt, all the while grumbling discontentedly,
"For the quality of your dishes, they’re only worth the discounted price, and yet you suspect me? Really?"
The staff member kept smiling without explaining, took the receipt from Big Cat to check it, handed it back, and turned to register the payment at the cashier. Feng Yuan poked Xiao Ji, who was lying satisfied on the table, and said with some dissatisfaction,
"How about you transform again?"
"Ji?"
Xiao Ji looked up at Feng Yuan, puzzled, not understanding what he wanted to do.
"If you want to get thrown into jail, you can try it!"
"Eh?"
Hearing the voice filled with suppressed anger behind him, Feng Yuan turned in surprise to see Captain Yang and couldn’t help but ask, puzzled,
"How come you’re here?"
"There’s no need to tell you! I warn you; if you cause trouble, I will not be polite to you!"
"If they don’t provoke me, I wouldn’t cause trouble~"
"Xiao Gu, notify all the upscale restaurants in Maomu City to refuse this guy entry!"
"Hey! Isn’t this vindictive?!"
Feng Yuan watched as the officer following Captain Yang quickly snapped a photo and made some notes, and couldn’t help but complain indignantly. Meanwhile, Gladys laughed and said,
"Upscale restaurants indeed don’t really suit you~"
"Tch! I don’t even want to come to such a lousy place."
"Sir, your receipt."
The waiter handed over the receipt and change to Feng Yuan respectfully. Seeing the waiter turn to leave, Gladys snickered,
"They didn’t even offer you a ’welcome back again’; looks like they don’t welcome you here either~"
Feng Yuan glared at Gladys, picked up Xiao Ji, and left. As Feng Yuan walked away, Gladys looked at Captain Yang curiously and asked,
"You’re not really sending out that notice, are you?"
With a cold face, Captain Yang replied,
"Definitely sending it. We warned them in advance. If they let him in and he causes trouble again, don’t say we didn’t warn them."
Gladys watched Captain Yang with an amused look, saying,
"I didn’t expect you to be flexible too~"
Captain Yang, with a cold face, offered no explanation, while the officer looked puzzledly at the back of the departing Feng Yuan.
"We’re back~ Here’s your dinner~"
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the Dreaming Dragon Baby coiled on the bed perked up, floated over to the table, and started examining the food that Feng Yuan had brought back. After a while, it looked at Feng Yuan with a face full of disdain. Seeing the expression of the Dreaming Dragon Baby, Feng Yuan said somewhat displeased,
"What’s that supposed to mean? I even went out of my way to bring something tasty back for you."
"Cafeteria delights?"
"Eh? Qi Chen, you’re back already?"
