My gorgeous wife
Chapter 139 - 118 Are you thinking you’re a sky-high priced crab?

Chapter 139: Chapter 118 Are you thinking you’re a sky-high priced crab?

Looking at the room card in his hand, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel sullen, why won’t they let him share a room with his beautiful wife?

Recalling the scenery last time in Beihe City, Li Chen smacked his lips involuntarily.

No way, he had to sleep with his beautiful wife tonight no matter what.

Standing in front of the door and looking around, to the left, Wang Qianqian was giving him a slight smile and had just said, "See you later," before she went in. To the right, Lin Yi just glanced at him and then opened her door and went in herself.

As for the other people from the company, they also went to their rooms.

Instantly, Li Chen was the only person left in the hallway.

Thinking it over, Li Chen walked directly to Lin Yi’s door and pressed the doorbell.

"What is it?" came Lin Yi’s voice from inside.

"Hehe, beautiful wife, I have something I want to discuss with you," Li Chen chuckled.

Lin Yi opened the door, and Li Chen immediately squeezed in.

"Don’t you have your own room?" Lin Yi asked curiously, looking at Li Chen.

"But my room doesn’t have you in it," Li Chen chuckled and hugged Lin Yi, "Beautiful wife, do you remember that hotel in Beihe City."

"Don’t even think about it," Lin Yi pushed Li Chen away, "Go back to your own room, it wouldn’t be nice if others saw."

"Beautiful wife, no one will find out," Li Chen said, "Besides, I still find your place better than mine, much more spacious."

Lin Yi looked at Li Chen with a speechless expression, "Are you sure you’ve checked into your room? All the rooms are the same."

"Haha," Li Chen laughed, "It’s not the same, I still find your place more comfortable. I’ve decided, I’m sleeping here tonight."

"Suit yourself, but you can’t touch me," Lin Yi said.

"Beautiful wife, you’re thinking too much," Li Chen winked, "I just want to sleep, not doing anything else."

Lin Yi rolled her eyes, this guy was such a scoundrel and a rogue.

"Then you sleep on your own, I’m going to take a shower first."

Lin Yi immediately went into the bathroom and locked the door behind her.

Instantly, the room was left with only Li Chen.

Li Chen looked at himself, realizing that he had gotten sandy from the beach earlier and was feeling uncomfortable, he needed a shower as well.

"Then I’ll go take a shower too."

...

After Li Chen had showered, the doorbell rang. When Li Chen opened the door, he saw several girls standing there.

Lin Yi, Wang Qianqian, and a few girls from the perfumers.

"We’re going out for a late-night snack, Brother Cheen, do you want to join us?" Wang Qianqian said with a smile.

"Late-night snack?" Li Chen chuckled, "Of course I’m coming."

Thus, Li Chen and the girls went out together.

These girls obviously got along very well with Wang Qianqian and Lin Yi. Aside from Lin Yi being a bit quiet, the bunch of girls chattering together made it particularly lively.

Li Chen walked alongside, listening to the girls’ conversation that went from TV dramas to celebrities, makeup, daily necessities, travel stories, and finally to snacks.

"The food on Seaside Island is actually incredibly delicious. I had French cuisine here last time, and it tasted very authentic. Why don’t we go for French cuisine later?" one of the girls suggested.

"I don’t really like Western food, it feels weird. I prefer Chinese food," said another girl. "Let’s go for Chinese food later."

"Where does President Lin want to eat?" a girl asked Lin Yi.

"I’m fine with anything," Lin Yi replied with a slight smile.

This put the girls in a dilemma, as choosing where to eat really was a tricky matter.

"Brother Cheen, what do you think we should eat?" Wang Qianqian suddenly threw the question to Li Chen.

Li Chen was daydreaming and was startled for a moment before saying, "How about we go to a street food stall? I think the food there is actually pretty good."

Street food stall?

Wang Qianqian smiled at his words, and one of the girls even cheered, "Yes, I think a street food stall would be great."

The girl who had suggested eating French cuisine also expressed her agreement.

Seeing that everyone’s eyes were on him, Lin Yi smiled lightly, "Then let’s go to the street food stall."

"Great, great, if President Lin agrees, what are we waiting for? Let’s go," they said.

The group chatted and laughed, and then they found a street food stall.

"Let’s settle for this place." They found a table, sat down, picked up the menu, and started ordering food.

Li Chen noticed that the street food stall was doing quite well, bustling with many patrons dining there.

However, businesses on Seaside Island were always booming since the island, as a tourist spot, was highly successful and famous nationwide.

At the table, the girls began chatting about all kinds of topics. Despite Li Chen’s conversational prowess, he couldn’t get a word in.

Fortunately, the food at the stall arrived quickly, and everyone dug in.

"Mmm, not bad, the food here is really good." The girls were enjoying their meal, and Li Chen, who hadn’t eaten yet that evening, stayed silent, needing the meal to sustain his energy levels.

After they finished eating, someone brought over the bill. Lin Yi took the bill, ready to pay, when he frowned, "How did it get to over thirty thousand?"

"Over thirty thousand?" Everyone was shocked. "What a joke, how could a street food stall cost over thirty thousand?"

"Let me see."

Li Chen took the bill and realized the prices listed were outrageously high; for instance, the price for crabs had an extra zero!

It was the same with the other dishes, with zeros added out of nowhere.

"At your service, the total comes to thirty thousand, eight hundred and ninety-one," said the young-looking waiter with a smile, ready to collect the payment.

"There must be a mistake here, how could it be over thirty thousand?" Lin Yi frowned and said.

"Let me see." The waiter took the bill back, "No mistake here. Look at these prices, this is the total it adds up to."

"I’m talking about the prices on the menu; they aren’t the same as these listed here."

"Oh, you mean the prices on the menu," the waiter smiled, "Sorry, maybe you didn’t see it clearly—why don’t you take another look?"

Lin Yi picked up the menu and reviewed it again, realizing it was correct, but then the waiter said, "Not the prices, look at the small print at the bottom."

"The prices of our dishes can increase during peak times, the extent of which varies, and all interpretive rights belong to the restaurant," Lin Yi read out the small print, causing a sudden uproar.

"Isn’t this a rip-off?" a perfumer girl angrily protested, "Why don’t you just rob us?"

"Hey, miss, that’s a bit harsh. We’re just doing business, it’s supposed to be mutually agreed upon, and it’s your fault for not reading clearly," the waiter retorted with a cold smile.
