Chapter 155: Chapter 158 Remember to come to me if you need anything

"Yes, it was indeed my fault."

Xiao Yi earnestly admitted, feeling genuinely guilty about the matter, as he had promised something that he had failed to deliver.

"I was just teasing you, it doesn’t really matter anymore. At any rate, I finally got your number, hehe."

Seeing Xiao Yi’s sincere attitude, Zhang Yuhuan smiled somewhat sheepishly and picked up her phone. She opened the message that Xiao Yi had just sent and saved his number.

Xiao Yi watched Zhang Yuhuan’s expression and couldn’t help but feel slightly astonished by the girl. Since leaving that scene, her face had shown no trace of the panic that a girl being pursued should have. She was chatting and laughing with him as if nothing had happened, and she had never brought up the matter on her own initiative.

Was it because she had been chased so often that she had grown accustomed to it? Or was there some other reason?

Xiao Yi speculated in his mind but did not voice his thoughts. He just kept chatting with her, smiling all the while, and as they laughed and talked, the waiter had already brought the meal they ordered.

After receiving the food from the waiter, Xiao Yi said "Thank you" with a smile and polite grace before beginning to arrange everything in an orderly fashion. Zhang Yuhuan, sitting opposite him, had been worried that Xiao Yi might not be accustomed to eating Western food and was ready to say something to guide him while setting an example for him. However, when she picked up her cutlery, ready to start arranging her meal, she found that Xiao Yi had already adeptly set everything up. His method and graceful movements were of an elegant gentleman’s standard—if only his clothes had not been so glaringly out of place!

Surprise flickered in Zhang Yuhuan’s eyes, along with a hint of contemplation. Seeing Xiao Yi’s gaze turn towards her, she smiled, continued their conversation, and began preparing her own utensils, lowering her head to focus on her meal.

Who would’ve thought? This kid actually has some skills, huh?

He’s managed to pick up a girl so quickly?

And she looks pretty decent, too? I wonder how this kid managed to deceive her. I’ll have to interrogate him thoroughly later, to find out how he got so ’bad’ in such a short period of time.

At the entrance of the Western restaurant, a woman with a figure as seductive as the devil’s walked in. Her whole body seemed to exude a sensual aura. As she entered, her eyes fixed on the corner where Xiao Yi and Zhang Yuhuan were engaging in a lively conversation. Her naturally charming eyes expressed a hint of surprise. After a double-take and confirming she hadn’t mistaken, a faint smile appeared on her lips, captivating and enchanting. The male customers and waiters at the entrance were immediately mesmerized, almost walking into things around them.

"Miss Shen, hello, we meet again."

At that moment, a young man dressed in a clean white suit, looking handsome and elegant, suddenly emerged from a corner with a charming smile and approached the sensuous woman.

Just a bothersome fly, and it has even found its way here.

Seeing the man’s appearance, the sensuous, mature woman’s brow furrowed slightly, and a look of disgust flashed across her eyes. She cursed inwardly but greeted him with a faint smile, "What a coincidence, to see Young Master Liu here so soon."

"I know Miss Shen likes the steak here, so I specially waited for you. Might I have the honor of having dinner with Miss Shen?"

The young man made no attempt to hide the fervor in his eyes, nor did he conceal the fact that he was purposely waiting here with the intention of meeting the beautiful woman. It must be said that the young man’s handsome and upright appearance, coupled with the extreme confidence and even somewhat overbearing aura he exuded, was undoubtedly lethal for the girls. Several of the female servers nearby were so dazzled by him that their eyes nearly glowed with infatuation, each one looking like they wished fervently that they were the one he was inviting.

"Hehe... I’d be more than happy to accept an invitation to be treated."

Unfortunately, the beautiful woman he faced clearly did not share the same feelings as those female servers toward his attributes. On the contrary, a flicker of disgust swiftly passed through her eyes upon seeing his behavior, though this flash of disgust was fleeting on her face, quickly replaced by her giggling laughter.

"Please!"

The young man did not notice the disgust in the woman’s eyes. As soon as he heard her acceptance, a pleased expression instantly appeared on his face. He bowed and made a very gentlemanly gesture, inviting her to walk towards the seat he had reserved.

.........

"Xiao Yi, thank you!"

After having what could be described as a very enjoyable dinner, the moment to part ways finally arrived. As they left the Western restaurant and Xiao Yi was about to leave, Zhang Yuhuan suddenly called out to him and said seriously, "Remember to call me if anything happens."

"Alright."

Xiao Yi was taken aback, not understanding why Zhang Yuhuan had suddenly become so serious, but he still nodded firmly.

"You’ve saved me multiple times, and I’m worried those people might take their anger out on you. Remember, if you run into danger, make sure to call me."

Zhang Yuhuan seemed to see Xiao Yi’s confusion and realized that she had not made herself clear earlier. Staring intently at Xiao Yi, she repeated her explanation solemnly.

"Alright."

Xiao Yi looked at Zhang Yuhuan incredulously, feeling quite dismissive of her words. He was already prepared for retaliation from these individuals, and although he did not know the background of the person plotting to kill Zhang Yuhuan, he had great confidence in his own skills and did not think telling her would be of much use. She would be doing well if she could protect herself, let alone protect him. It should be the other way around; it made more sense for him to tell her to come to him if she was in danger. However, seeing Zhang Yuhuan’s solemn expression and knowing that she meant well, he continued to nod his head.

"You must remember my words. I know you are quite skilled, which is evident from the several times you’ve saved me, but those people are also very dangerous, with means to do anything. You must not be careless."

Zhang Yuhuan seemed to sense Xiao Yi’s skepticism and hesitated slightly before she spoke.
