Chapter 64: Chapter 0064: Could You Pay a Bit More?

Outside the cafe, Sun Zhuangjia looked at Tang Ming calmly and started, "Brother Tang, if you let go of Xiaoxi, from now on, I, Sun Zhuangjia, would owe you a favor. As long as it’s doable, our Divine City Sun Family will not stand idly by."

"Heh."

It seemed Tang Ming had heard a joke, "No wonder Xiaoxi doesn’t like you. With that attitude, you don’t deserve anyone’s affection."

"What did you say?"

Sun Zhuangjia shouted furiously, his face turning ashen.

"Love can’t be traded or compromised so carelessly. Even if I let go, Xiaoxi has to like you, which won’t happen. You can’t even understand this and you’re chasing after a girl? Really funny."

Tang Ming had no interest in speaking further with Sun Zhuangjia and asked, "You’ve also asked clearly, I’m not going to let go. I’d better go inside before Xiaoxi gets worried not seeing me."

"Alright then, I hope you treat Xiaoxi well in the future."

Sun Zhuangjia extended his hand, indicating he wanted to shake hands with Tang Ming.

"Rest assured, I definitely will."

Tang Ming smiled and then fearlessly extended his hand to shake.

Suddenly, a force transferred from the fingers, frantically squeezing Tang Ming’s palm. He remained unmoving, his expression neither happy nor angry, and no matter how hard Sun Zhuangjia tried, there was not a single change in Tang Ming.

Not good, he’s a master! At that moment, Sun Zhuangjia finally realized, Tang Ming was no ordinary person. No wonder he seemed so mediocre yet Su Xiaoxi liked him—it turns out he was also a Martial Arts practitioner just like him.

"Holding on for so long, you must be tired, can I go inside now?"

Tang Ming asked with a smile.

Sun Zhuangjia slowly released his grip and then said somewhat reluctantly, "Good skills, but I won’t give up!"

"Oh, that’s fine, suit yourself!"

Tang Ming smiled, thinking to himself, you don’t give up, Xiaoxi still has to come looking for me, so I can make money again. You definitely must keep it up! Then he strode into the cafe.

Su Xiaoxi was terribly worried. Seeing Tang Ming walk in as if nothing had happened, she immediately asked:

"Are you okay? You weren’t internally injured, were you?"

"Not at all, Sun Zhuangjia treated me well, even shook hands with me, telling me to take good care of you in the future. Your money was well spent, huh?"

After sitting down, Tang Ming began to boast. At the same time, he contemplated that he had made two thousand bucks by delaying an hour. This business was not bad at all. Should he give this beauty his phone number for future contact in case there’s more such work?

Su Xiaoxi looked shocked. Tang Ming had shaken hands with Sun Zhuangjia and was fine, considering Sun Zhuangjia was best known for the ’Vigorous Vajra Palm’. Shaking hands with him could have crippled a hand.

Sun Zhuangjia walked in dejectedly and sat down without saying a word. Su Xiaoxi glanced at the time and said to Tang Ming, "Dear, shall we leave now?"

"Yes, we’ve finished the drinks, we can go."

Tang Ming waved generously at the waiter, intentionally shouting,

"Check, please."

Sun Zhuangjia was furious, but in front of Su Xiaoxi, he still needed to show a generous demeanor and waved his hand saying,

"You guys go ahead, I’ll take this one. It’s not easy for you, Tang Ming. This bottle of wine costs over ten thousand."

"Oh, thanks then."

Tang Ming helped Su Xiaoxi up and walked out, passing right by Liu Mengting and another woman.

Liu Mengting slammed her cup down heavily, fuming inside. This guy was her bodyguard, and now he was leaving with a beauty—was he planning to go to a hotel or take her shopping? How could he be so oblivious to his duties as a bodyguard?

Tang Ming noticed Liu Mengting’s dissatisfaction, while Li Xiaoli smirked gleefully at her side. He whispered while passing by, "Miss, I’ll take her home first and come back soon."

"Hmph, whose bodyguard are you? Even picking up girls during work time."

Liu Mengting said irritably.

Tang Ming felt a headache coming on, as he hadn’t flirted with anyone—wasn’t he just earning some extra money on the side? Was it necessary to give him such a sour face? Seeing that he couldn’t clear up the misunderstanding, Tang Ming could only say, "Just this once, I absolutely won’t do it again."

Once he had spoken, Tang Ming quickly ran to Su Xiaoxi’s side, and they left the café arm in arm.

Sun Zhuangjia and Liu Mengting, seeing their sweet interaction, both puffed up their eyes in anger but nobody spoke up to stop them.

Outside in the café’s parking lot, Su Xiaoxi’s white BMW sports car stood out, dazzlingly parked. Su Xiaoxi pulled out her key and automatically opened the door, then both she and Tang Ming climbed in.

She had thought Tang Ming would express surprise at seeing the car, but he showed no reaction, not even a flicker of surprise in his eyes. This type of reaction was only seen in rich kids at the sports car club who were used to seeing sports cars. It was unusual for any normal person, especially a young one, not to get excited at the sight of a million-dollar, stunning sports car.

In reality, Su Xiaoxi didn’t know that Tang Ming wouldn’t care about a sports car since he could crash a Maserati and it wouldn’t matter to him.

Once they were in the car, Tang Ming asked, "Where’s my payment?"

"What’s the rush?"

Su Xiaoxi, knowing his love for money, felt he shouldn’t be so eager. She explained, "Sun Zhuangjia is still in the café. Once he leaves, I’ll give you the money. For now, let’s drive to the next street."

The car started and headed to the next street. Tang Ming, afraid Liu Mengting and the others might leave early, was rather anxious. He just hoped Sun Zhuangjia would leave the café quickly, but it wasn’t easy for him wanting to hurry.

Thinking this, Tang Ming smiled mischievously and felt his trouser pocket. Inside, there was a wallet and car keys, both of which he had sneakily nicked from Sun Zhuangjia, who had magnanimously offered to settle the bill. How would you pay now with no money?

After the car stopped and left the parking lot, Su Xiaoxi pulled the handbrake and asked, "Those two beauties in the café seemed upset just now. I hope it wasn’t because of me that your pursuit plans were spoiled?"

"Yes, very likely."

Tang Ming nodded, a bit gloomily:

"With such a big sacrifice, even losing my love, could you add a little more money?"

Su Xiaoxi frowned, knowing he was feigning, and changed the subject, "Are those two beauties your classmates?"

"Yes, they are my classmates."

Tang Ming replied.

"You wanted to have dinner with them, but got turned down?"

Su Xiaoxi asked with a grin.

"Yes."

Tang Ming sighed deliberately: "I was just drowning my sorrows in drink when you came to find me. Is it that handsome men can’t help but attract attention no matter how low-profile they are?"

"Wow, gross."

Su Xiaoxi was annoyed by Tang Ming’s narcissism but thought about how she was no different, having approached him first. She had thought that a little man like Tang Ming, seeing such a beauty like herself, would be deeply attracted and then easily manipulated by her. However, his apparent lack of interest had been unexpected.
