My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 613 - 018: Bet

When the car arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Yun Xi quite liked the decor style of the place. It had a very rustic feel, looking particularly simple. Such a style is truly rare in Nancheng.

Even though it was past mealtime, when she and Lu Xize walked in, there were still quite a few people inside. There were only about three or four tables free, showing that business was pretty good.

"Hello, how many?" Just as Yun Xi was glancing around, a waiter enthusiastically approached them, nodding politely as he asked.

"Two."

"Then please follow me," the waiter said after listening to Yun Xi, gesturing for them to follow.

After being seated at the table, Yun Xi skillfully and confidently began to order food. It seemed Lu Xize was used to this routine too, as anything she ordered was bound to be good. After all, she was a picky foodie. If he were to look at the menu again, it would probably only be because there wasn’t enough food and he’d want to order more.

"What’s wrong? There’s nothing you like to eat?" Lu Xize asked with a smile, seeing her scrunched-up face and hesitation to place the order.

"Well...not exactly."

"Then what’s the problem? You’ve been looking at the menu for so long without ordering. Can’t you read the characters? Tell me, which character do you not recognize, and I’ll teach you," Lu Xize said, waving his hand grandly, a smug expression on his face.

"Get lost," Yun Xi said bluntly, rolling her eyes at him. "I’m just indecisive."

"Indecisive about what?"

"There are so many delicious things here, and I want to order all of them. What should I do?"

Lu Xize was left speechless and chuckled, "Then just order! As long as you can finish it. After all, waste is shameful. Or are you trying to save money for my sake?"

"Ha, dream on! Save money for you? You of all people are the least short of money. I wouldn’t even save money for myself for your sake. Rest your mind, a hundred and twenty percent!" Yun Xi said as she boldly checked off everything she wanted to eat on the menu and handed it to the waiter. Suddenly, she remembered, "By the way, that eighty thousand yuan we talked about last time, it seems you still haven’t transferred it to me."

"Eighty thousand yuan? What eighty thousand yuan?"

"The eighty thousand yuan compensation from the offender! You haven’t forgotten, have you? It hasn’t been that long, and I suspect you’re regretting it and pretending to have amnesia. Lu Xize, can you be a decent person?"

"Oh, that! No big deal, send me the account number later, and I’ll transfer it to you, okay, Auntie?"

"Hehe, okay." Hearing this, Yun Xi immediately beamed, her smile sweet and captivating.

Lu Xize sighed, really wondering if he had done too many bad deeds in his past life for the heavens to send such a devil to torment him. He truly had no way to deal with her.

He couldn’t hit her and always ended up getting hit by her instead. As for scolding, this girl always holds grudges, so there would be no good outcome for him either.

But even though this girl’s temper isn’t that great, she’s actually pretty easy to appease. With a good meal, all grudges, new and old, are forgotten. Plus, sometimes she’s just adorably silly.

Noticing the change in the way Lu Xize was looking at her, even with the corners of his mouth lifted, Yun Xi suddenly felt a chill down her back and instinctively rubbed her arms, "Why are you smiling so weirdly? Are you cursing me? Or thinking about something you shouldn’t?"

"Thinking about things I shouldn’t? Give me an example. What shouldn’t I be thinking about?"

"Well...like scenes where I trip and make a fool of myself."

Lu Xize was again left speechless and rolled his eyes, "Is there really nothing but food inside your head?"

"Mind your own business. Shut up!"

"You were the one who asked me first."

"And who told you a dog’s mouth can’t spit ivory?"

"Can you spit it out? I’d like to see. I’m really curious what ivory spat from a dog’s mouth looks like."

"Get lost."

"See? As soon as you’re out of words, you start swearing. Remember at all times that you’re supposed to be a proper young lady, alright?"

"I can still throw a punch, believe it or not."

"No, I believe you." At crucial moments, it’s best to concede. Otherwise, he’d get beaten up. Being a tall man over six feet, getting beaten up by a five-foot-five girl under everyone’s eyes would be quite embarrassing, wouldn’t it?

Yun Xi pouted, happily withdrew her gaze, and looked down at her phone again.
