Chapter 60: Chapter 060 I Specialize in This

"No wonder I can’t charm him; he’s into this type of pretty girl."

Su Xiaoxi muttered to herself.

"Is there still something?"

Tang Ming looked at Su Xiaoxi, who hadn’t left, and asked curiously.

"Of course, there is. As a man, can’t you just kindly invite me to sit down and have a drink?"

Su Xiaoxi was seductively alluring, batting her electric eyes.

"Sorry, this wine is just enough for one, and if you get some, I’ll hardly have any left."

Tang Ming spoke his mind.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxi nearly exploded with anger. What kind of supreme quality man says such things? Utterly lacking gentlemanly grace! Could she, a fetching beauty, really lose out to a bottle of red wine that costs just a few hundred yuan?

"Fine, I’ll treat you. Can you invite me to sit down now?"

Su Xiaoxi once again held back her rage and said softly.

"That’s fine, since this place isn’t my home anyway, feel free to take a seat."

Tang Ming thought the red wine was pretty good and was considering whether to order another bottle, but he feared that Liu Mengting might not be pleased when paying the bill. Who would have thought someone would offer to buy him a drink? Why not?

Su Xiaoxi signaled the waitress with a wave, and the waitress immediately came over and asked, "Miss, what would you like to order?"

"Add a seat for me and bring over a bottle of the same red wine he has in his hand."

Su Xiaoxi said indifferently.

"Okay."

The waitress promptly set about her task, bringing over a chair first, and then a bottle of red wine and a tall glass already opened.

Su Xiaoxi started pouring the wine, then looked over to where Tang Ming was sitting with the two beauties and said, "Handsome, drinking alone, you must be upset over one of those pretty girls, right?"

"Yep, you got that right."

Tang Ming nodded without hesitation. It was no big deal to answer a question for someone who treated him to a drink, especially when the question was trivial.

"Hehe, as a woman, of course I can tell."

Su Xiaoxi thought to herself that young men were indeed easy to deal with, unlike those old lechers who, despite their respectable appearance, were full of sordid schemes, always thinking of how to get women into bed—their level of despicableness matched their level of disgust. Meanwhile, these younger guys usually had fewer ulterior motives, which suited her just fine.

And most importantly, he already had someone in mind and wouldn’t harbor any improper thoughts about her!

"This wine isn’t bad; I haven’t had it in a long time. Today I’ve really satisfied my craving."

Tang Ming downed his glass in one go, then took the bottle and poured himself another, not being polite at all.

"The wine is mediocre, but if you help me with something, I can treat you to something much better."

Su Xiaoxi laughed lightly, as if casting out a tempting lure.

Tang Ming shook his head, "I don’t have the time, this bottle is almost enough for me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tang Ming poured himself another glass, this guy consuming three glasses already from a bottle of red wine that was brought over.

"Handsome, why don’t you just help me? See, I’m so sincere, treating you to wine and saying nice things. Plus, I’m not a bad person, what are you afraid of?"

Su Xiaoxi cooed and wheedled in a girlish tone.

Tang Ming pointed to the white-collar bros whose eyes occasionally wandered over and said:

"Look at all these men eyeing you. If you want help, all you need to do is call out, and several will step up. Why do you need my help specifically?"

"Handsome, because you seem honest," Su Xiaoxi said with a twinkle in her eye.

"Hehe, you have quite the eye, indeed, I have a flaw—I’m too honest," Tang Ming said with a cheeky laugh, though to himself, he added, But if I drink too much, I won’t be honest anymore!

"So can you help me with something, handsome?"

Su Xiaoxi flirtatiously fiddled with her hair and blinked suggestively.

"Help? I don’t know you, why would I help you?"

Tang Ming shook his head; helping someone wasn’t something to do for nothing.

"My name is Su Xiaoxi. What’s yours, handsome?"

Although Su Xiaoxi was burning with impatience, she still asked with a smile.

"I’m Tang Ming."

Tang Ming replied.

"That’s a fine name, now that we know each other, can you help me?"

Su Xiaoxi said with a mischievous smile.

"We know each other, that’s true, but I don’t just help anyone."

Tang Ming also responded with a mischievous smile.

"Then you help me, and I’ll take care of your bill later, along with the bills for those two beauties with you."

Su Xiaoxi looked at Liu Mengting and her companion, who were chatting animatedly.

"They have money, no need for you to cover their tabs, and as for mine, they’ll pay for that too."

Tang Ming remained unmoved.

"What kind of person lets the ones they like pay the bill."

Su Xiaoxi internally despised this behavior but still said with a smile, "How about this, you help me out, and I’ll give you money."

"Heh, why didn’t you say so earlier."

Tang Ming asked with a cheerful grin, "How much?"

"You really are a money-grubber."

Su Xiaoxi said directly, "I’ll give you a thousand for a little help."

"Two thousand."

Tang Ming instantly raised the price, his face full of smiles.

"Fine, two thousand it is."

Su Xiaoxi couldn’t afford to care about the cost, finding a shield was more important.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

Tang Ming thought jubilantly, coming out for a drink and making an easy two thousand on the side, and there was the money for Poison.

"Pretend to be my boyfriend."

Su Xiaoxi cut straight to the chase.

"Ah, if it’s just that, why make such a fuss about money."

Tang Ming sized up Su Xiaoxi, who indeed had the looks and the figure, thinking that being her boyfriend wouldn’t be a loss.

"Don’t look at me like that, I mean pretend."

Su Xiaoxi said irritably, shifting slightly worried that a wardrobe malfunction might give Tang Ming an eyeful.

The guy was petty, greedy, and lecherous—if it weren’t for the urgency of the situation, Su Xiaoxi would not have stayed with him any longer.

"Pretending, huh? Sure, I can do that."

Tang Ming knew there couldn’t be a woman so infatuated, so he smiled and nodded.

"Once we go there, remember to back me up in whatever I say, in plain terms, we’re just putting on a show."

Su Xiaoxi glanced around and instructed, "Remember, you are my boyfriend, make sure not to blow our cover."

"Don’t worry, I’m a professional at this."

Tang Ming said, patting his chest.

Although Su Xiaoxi considered Tang Ming the type whose greed might screw things up, she was out of options and had to give it a try.

"Meng Meng sister, look at Tang Ming, he’s already hooked up with a beauty, and they’re chatting so enthusiastically. Wow, they’re even drinking red wine."

Li Xiaoli suddenly noticed Tang Ming and reported excitedly to Liu Meng as if she had discovered a new continent.

Liu Meng turned her head to look, and indeed, she saw Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi chatting animatedly. Due to the distance, she couldn’t hear what they were talking about.

"Tang Ming actually has this skill, hooking up with a beauty so quickly."

Liu Meng frowned, finding it hard to believe, mainly because the woman was indeed beautiful, fashionable, and both her face and figure were outstanding—how could she have taken a liking to Tang Ming? It was simply inconceivable!
