Chapter 629: Chapter 0629: Making You Pay the Bill

"How did this happen?" Tang Ming glanced at it and immediately became suspicious.

This woman had a scar on her arm from a cigarette burn, which starkly contrasted with her beautiful face and demeanor.

"Huh?"

Tang Ming stared at the scar on the woman’s arm for a while, frowning in confusion. As a Divine Doctor with superb Medical Skill, he could tell at a glance that the scar on the woman’s body was fake, probably attached with some artificial skin. He was very puzzled. What was this woman trying to do? Deceive people?

"This is a story that happened to me."

The beauty picked up her glass and looked at Tang Ming, "Join me for a drink, they say ’Danube River Love’ truly helps one forget their worries."

"Okay."

Tang Ming clinked glasses with her and then drank it all at once, not revealing the deceit right there, but rather wanting to see what game this woman was playing.

"Refreshing."

After downing her drink, the beauty cheered joyfully and raised her hand, shouting, "Waiter, bring us four more."

"You realize this is alcohol, are you trying to drown your sorrows with it?"

Tang Ming frowned, looking at the beauty with suspicion. Was she trying to make him pay the bill? It seemed like a profession called "drink baiting."

"If it isn’t alcohol, what other use would drinking it serve?"

The beauty promptly placed her bank card on the table, "Meeting is destiny. Today, we won’t stop until we’re drunk."

"Ha, then I’m with you all the way."

Tang Ming smiled. If someone was willing to go, he was willing to bury them. He’d never been drunk no matter how much he drank. Then, he tentatively turned to the woman, "You paid last time, let me cover it this time."

"No need, I brought you here to pour my heart out, so of course, I should pay."

The beauty decisively rejected Tang Ming’s offer, which somewhat surprised him.

This young lady clearly had issues, but she didn’t want him to pay the bill. What was her angle?

Although Tang Ming was puzzled, the fact that she didn’t coax him into paying meant this woman wasn’t a drink baiter. Could she be a colleague of Shen Yan?

When the waiter brought the drinks, the beauty was quick to pay again, and Tang Ming, trying to pay, still couldn’t beat her to it and ended up facing the server’s stern disdain once more.

Then the beauty began to tell her own tragic stories, all tear-inducing, but Tang Ming had long suspected this young lady had issues and didn’t believe a word.

After finishing four drinks, the beauty’s face was slightly flushed and she showed signs of intoxication, but she wasn’t done enjoying herself yet. With blurred eyes, she looked at Tang Ming, "Handsome, meeting is fate. I’ve been through too many jerks who only want my money or my body. Can you be my boyfriend for an hour without any ulterior motives, please?"

"This..."

Tang Ming wanted to refuse. He wasn’t just anyone, and even acting as a shield had its price, but he also wanted to understand this young lady’s motives, so he nodded in agreement.

"All right, then you can consider me your boyfriend now, I promise I’m not a jerk."

Tang Ming nodded.

"My dear, you’re just wonderful."

The beauty moved closer to Tang Ming, almost crying with excitement, "Waiter, another dozen ’Danube River Love’ for me. I want to get thoroughly drunk with my boyfriend today."

"Big sister, you have lots of money, but do you really need to burn through it like this?"

Tang Ming moved away a bit in speechlessness; at more than two hundred bucks each, they’d go bankrupt drinking like this.

"Why are you avoiding me? Didn’t you just agree to be my boyfriend for an hour?"

The beauty looked pitifully at Tang Ming, full of resentful eyes.

"Cough cough, I’m not used to this all at once. I’ll pay this time."

Tang Ming felt uneasy and quickly decided to cover the drink expense, lest she soon suggest he pay with his body instead—and that would be a real loss.

"Hehe, I just love your spirit of not taking advantage of the situation, but I’ll still be the one paying. If I really get so drunk I lose consciousness, you can step in for me then, okay?"

The beauty covered her mouth and giggled, showing no intention of taking advantage.

"No way, you’ve already paid twice, this time it’s definitely my turn."

Tang Ming decisively shook his head. At this point, it was clear that the woman definitely had ulterior motives, so he didn’t plan to owe her too much.

"I said I’m paying, and that’s final. No more arguing."

The beauty shot Tang Ming an unquestionable glare.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your drinks have arrived—a dozen Danube River Love, totaling three thousand one hundred and twenty yuan."

The waiter smiled as he presented the bill, teasingly looking at Tang Ming, "Is the beauty paying this time too?"

"You’re joking, of course I’m paying."

Tang Ming immediately took out his bank card. He had never been stingy or short of money, the only reason he hadn’t paid before was because he didn’t know the woman. Now that she had paid twice already, he had to show some gesture, or he’d be really looked down upon.

"No need for you."

The beauty quickly stopped Tang Ming, then glaring discontentedly at the waiter, "What’s the big idea? My money comes from my husband, what right do you have to scorn him? My card is his supplementary card, me paying means he’s paying, hurry up and settle the account."

"Sorry, sorry, I’ll take care of it right away."

The waiter quickly apologized and took the beauty’s card to process the payment.

"This doesn’t seem right?" Tang Ming helplessly retracted his bank card.

"Ah, if only the men I met before were half as responsible as you, I wouldn’t have ended up so scarred."

The beauty shook her head, sadly caressing the scars on her arm.

"These scars..."

Tang Ming stared doubtfully at the woman’s scars. This time he could see them more clearly and was certain they were definitely fake.

"Ugh..."

Just as Tang Ming was about to expose her, the beauty suddenly began to feel nauseous. She pulled back her arm, stood up, and said, "Darling, wait for me, we’ll continue drinking when I get back, I need to go to the restroom."

"Oh, go ahead."

Tang Ming nodded. His attention was entirely focused on the fake scars, pondering the young woman’s motives.

The beauty then left. Tang Ming sat in his chair for a few minutes, but she still hadn’t returned. Maybe the woman had drunk too much and something had happened in the restroom?

Tang Ming quickly stood up, preparing to go check on her in the restroom.

"Sir, are you leaving?"

The moment Tang Ming got up, several waiters immediately surrounded him.

"What’s this about? I just want to check on my friend in the restroom. Does it really require so many of you crowding around?"

Tang Ming looked at the waiters unhappily.

"You mean your girlfriend?" one of the waiters asked uncertainly.

"No... oh, right, her."

Tang Ming nodded, he initially wanted to deny it, but considering everyone at the bar thought the young woman was his girlfriend, denying it now would seem quite odd.

"Sorry, your girlfriend has already left, and she said you’d be paying for all expenses today."

The waiter who teased Tang Ming earlier looked at him with a smile.
