Chapter 342: Chapter 0342: Don’t You Have One at Home?

Watching Tang Ming’s indifferent demeanor, Xia Wei’er felt an even greater sense of loss, small matters that meant little in Tang Ming’s eyes were insurmountable challenges for her—the gap between them was simply too vast.

"Perhaps only a superb woman like Liu Mengting could truly match him," she thought.

Xia Wei’er’s feelings of inferiority began to trouble her, making Tang Ming seem even more out of reach.

"Have you had enough to eat?" Feeling dejected, Xia Wei’er didn’t know how to continue interacting with Tang Ming and weakly initiated a conversation.

"Still..." Tang Ming glanced in the direction where Li Xiaoli had left, but ended up seeing Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli staring at him with ill intentions, which made him shiver: "I’m full, what about you?"

The meal was already under the watchful eyes of Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli; eating any more could lead to chaos, so it was best to end it early.

"Then let’s head back," Xia Wei’er said, standing up.

Tang Ming nodded and left the restaurant with Xia Wei’er.

"I have other matters to deal with, so I won’t come to your place. Is that okay?"

Thinking about the two grand ladies he needed to attend to at the door, Tang Ming suggested that Xia Wei’er go back first.

"Okay, thank you," Xia Wei’er nodded, her mood desolate as she left.

Inside the restaurant.

Just as Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting were about to follow them, the waiter who had brought the steak to Tang Ming suddenly stepped in front of Li Xiaoli, enthusiastically declaring:

"Hello, are you new here? This restaurant is owned by my uncle. Let’s get to know each other; I’ll take care of you if you work here."

Anxious to chase after Tang Ming, Li Xiaoli immediately widened her eyes and shouted discontentedly:

"Are you blind? I came here to eat, why do you think I’m working? I don’t need your care."

"Huh?" The waiter was slightly taken aback, looking Li Xiaoli up and down, "But you’re wearing our restaurant’s uniform!"

"Can’t people have the same outfit? Move out of the way, I’m in a hurry here."

Impatiently pushing past the waiter, Li Xiaoli quickly ran out of the restaurant with Liu Mengting.

"What’s the situation? Can uniforms also match?" The waiter looked baffled as he watched Li Xiaoli’s retreating figure.

"Damn waiter, he held me up, and I lost track of them," Li Xiaoli raged as she stepped out of the restaurant.

"They might have gone to book a room?" Liu Mengting asked with an ugly expression.

"Very possible," Li Xiaoli stamped her foot and said morosely:

"Hope Tang Ming brought protection. If there’s an accidental pregnancy, it would be troublesome."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tang Ming appeared, his face lined with irritation. The chance to have a satisfying meal was spoilt by Li Xiaoli, and for Tang Ming, who hated not eating well, this was a serious matter.

"Tang Ming, you weren’t going to book a room with Xia Wei’er!"

Li Xiaoli stared at Tang Ming and exclaimed with surprise.

"Get your mind out of the gutter. How did you guys end up here?" Tang Ming rolled his eyes, asking irritably.

"I and Xiao Li also came here to eat, is that not allowed?"

Nervously watching Tang Ming, Liu Mengting said, "Heh, it’s okay for you to come here for a date, but not okay for us to eat?"

"Really?" Tang Ming drew out his words, looking at Li Xiaoli with a playful expression:

"Then what’s with her outfit? And, if it’s just a meal, why dress up as waitstaff and come here talking and acting oddly—why is that?"

"This..." Liu Mengting suddenly found herself at a loss for words, quickly turning to Li Xiaoli for help.

"Heehee, we were just messing around with you!" Li Xiaoli cleverly confessed.

"Monitor me just admit it, I had already noticed you all!"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes, annoyed, while rubbing his stomach:

"You all made me unable to eat my fill, now you have to treat me to a meal to make up for my loss."

"No problem, you can choose the place, but it has to be a buffet."

Liu Mengting readily agreed, as long as it could disrupt Tang Ming’s date with another woman, she didn’t mind treating him a few more times.

In a seafood buffet restaurant not far from the Liu Family, Tang Ming, while attacking a table full of seafood, asked nonchalantly:

"So, tell me, what exactly was all this about today?"

Seeing Tang Ming starting to interrogate, Liu Mengting didn’t know how to respond for a moment and quickly turned to Li Xiaoli for help.

Li Xiaoli’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly slammed the table: "Brother Tang Ming, this is where you’re wrong."

"Huh?"

Tang Ming, with a crab leg in his mouth, stared blankly at Li Xiaoli, not even having started to get angry yet, wondering why Li Xiaoli was blowing her top first.

"What do you mean ’huh’? You should be aware of your role, you’re Meng Meng’s bodyguard, and although a bodyguard has the right to date, how could you neglect Meng Meng’s safety and go on a date alone?"

Li Xiaoli scolded seriously, "What if we encountered bad people on our way back? What if someone harmed Meng Meng while you were on your date?"

"This, this is nothing, right?"

Tang Ming spat out the crab leg in frustration, recalling the incident when Liu Mengting was ambushed on the road, he suddenly became alert; he truly had been careless today.

"It’s too late when something happens." Li Xiaoli sighed.

"Yeah, yeah, exactly that."

Liu Mengting nodded repeatedly, secretly admiring Li Xiaoli’s ability to adapt on the fly, managing to take the initiative from a passive situation.

"Brother Tang Ming, we just hope you can concentrate on being a bodyguard, your divided attentions make us very uneasy."

Li Xiaoli looked at Tang Ming with dissatisfaction and continued, "And what’s so good about Xia Wei’er? Don’t we have beauties at home?"

As Li Xiaoli spoke, she gestured to herself and Liu Mengting’s faces.

"Yes." Tang Ming had to nod; Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli indeed were rare beauties.

"Don’t we have ample chests for you to admire at home?"

Li Xiaoli puffed out her chest and pointed toward Liu Mengting’s legs: "Don’t we have long legs for you to look at?"

"Cough cough, yes, yes!" Tang Ming nodded repeatedly.

Watching Tang Ming act like a kid who had done something wrong, Liu Mengting chuckled smugly, but Li Xiaoli’s next words almost made her choke.

"Hmph, and yet you still go chasing after other flowers, truly blind. With such two beauties waiting at home for you to [censored], and you still go looking elsewhere, that’s such a waste of resources."

Li Xiaoli snorted unhappily, "Although ’a rabbit doesn’t eat grass by its own burrow,’ since there’s grass by the burrow, why would you still need to run all over the place?"

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming immediately spat out the juice he had just drunk.
