Chapter 26: The Seductive Woman
Sister Lian’s questions were really sharp, leaving Liu Ruyan speechless and earning a thumbs up from Liu Zixuan.
He looked teasingly at Liu Ruyan, wanting to hear her response.
Liu Ruyan blushed, seemingly deep in thought. After a while, she smiled and said, "Actually, Zixuan is pretty great!"
"I knew it!" Sister Lian said with an expression of understanding.
Liu Zixuan scratched his head, "Is that all?"
"What else do you want to hear?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him and ran back to her room.
Liu Zixuan looked at Sister Lian, bewildered, "What does that mean?"
"You really don’t get it?" Sister Lian raised her eyebrows, curiously asking.
"I’m just a newbie, so innocent!" Liu Zixuan said that to ease his embarrassment.
Sister Lian rolled her eyes at him, "Figure it out yourself. You can’t even understand this, and you want to date a girl?"
With that, Sister Lian took Doudou and walked inside.
Before leaving, Doudou gave Liu Zixuan a disdainful look, "Even I could tell!"
Liu Zixuan felt a bit frustrated, being looked down upon by the little girl.
He pondered over Liu Ruyan’s words, then smacked his forehead and murmured, eyes brightening, "So the little vixen likes me too."
"Just say it outright, why beat around the bush? Really, it’s so annoying to guess!"
Liu Zixuan grinned, finishing his cigarette, and returned to the room as well.
...
Early the next morning, Liu Zixuan got up and went into town with Liu Ruyan.
Since there were no buses or any transportation, they had to use Sister Lian’s bicycle as their means of travel.
On the country road, Liu Zixuan was riding the bicycle in simple sportswear, with Liu Ruyan in a white dress sitting behind him.
To be honest, they really looked like a couple, exchanging banter and laughter on the quiet road, making it all very pleasant.
Liu Ruyan lightly held onto Liu Zixuan’s waist, a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face as they bumped along the road.
Stunning beauty!
In town, Liu Zixuan pushed the bicycle along, murmuring, "We really should buy a car, it’s so inconvenient otherwise!"
Liu Ruyan blurted out, "Who are you planning to scam now?"
"Come on, I’m earning money in a legitimate way, how is it a scam?" Liu Zixuan replied indignantly.
"Alright, alright, making money. I’m looking forward to the day you buy a car," Liu Ruyan quickly smiled.
"Let’s get some breakfast, cycling is tiring," Liu Zixuan suggested.
"Yeah, we’re just here to run some errands, let’s keep it simple. There’s a bun shop over there, let’s just buy a few buns for a quick bite," Liu Ruyan pointed ahead.
With that, they walked to the bun shop nearby.
As it was morning, many people were queuing up for buns, including office workers, so Liu Zixuan and Liu Ruyan parked their bike aside and joined the line.
After waiting for about ten minutes, it was finally their turn.
Liu Zixuan stood at the front while Liu Ruyan was behind him.
Before Liu Zixuan could speak to the owner, a screeching brake sound suddenly interrupted.
Everyone turned to look as a flashy red BMW sports car pulled up, and a flamboyantly dressed woman got out.
The woman had a nice figure, with curves in all the right places...
However, the makeup on her face was a bit much, with a white layer as if smeared with flour, contrasting with her very red lips.
At the corner of her mouth, there was a black mole.
Ordinarily, a mole would be fine, but it happened to have two long hairs growing out of it...
Goodness gracious!
Under everyone’s gaze, the woman walked right up to Liu Ruyan, bypassing the crowd.
"Please don’t cut in line?" Liu Ruyan frowned a bit as she spoke.
"Exactly, how can someone so pretty have such low manners?"
"Move along and don’t cut in line, everyone’s been waiting a long time," chattered the people behind.
The flamboyant woman glanced disdainfully at those behind her, "What’s the fuss? Since I’m so pretty, what’s wrong with cutting in line? My husband and I have a meeting to attend soon, missing it would cost tens of thousands, can any of you afford that?"
"If you’re really that rich, why are you here buying buns then?" Liu Ruyan mumbled.
"Shut your mouth! Why are you out if you look so ugly!!" The flamboyant woman seemed taken aback, at a loss for words.
"I’m ugly?" Liu Ruyan retorted, unwilling to let it go, "Why don’t you let everyone judge who’s uglier?"
"Is there even a need to compare?"
"It’s definitely the one cutting the line!"
"Exactly, people with no manners are always ugly!"
The crowd chimed in. Indeed, even without much makeup, Liu Ruyan’s natural beauty far surpassed that of the flamboyant woman.
Frustrated, the flamboyant woman stomped her foot and turned away, ignoring them. After all, she’d already cut in line, what could they do!
She then tapped Liu Zixuan, "Hey, could you hurry up, I’m still rushing to meet my husband!"
"I thought you were rushing to reincarnate!" Liu Zixuan snickered, no longer in a hurry.
"What did you say!"
The flamboyant woman glanced disdainfully at Liu Zixuan, "You poor thing, you’ll eat buns all your life!"
"And you’ll always be someone who’s only good for getting around!"
"You!" The flamboyant woman flushed with anger.
"What about me?" Liu Zixuan smugly turned away.
"Hurry up and buy, I need to buy too, don’t hog the spot like a dog in the manger!" Unable to outtalk Liu Zixuan, the flamboyant woman said.
Liu Zixuan shrugged, turning to the shop owner, "How many buns do you have left?"
"Let me check." The owner smiled ingenuously and began counting.
"Thirty-nine buns left."
"I’ll take them all." Liu Zixuan pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the owner, then moved the steamer with buns to the side, addressing the people behind him, "Come on, everyone, come and share the buns!"
The crowd rushed forward, leaving the flamboyant woman out in the cold.
Seeing the buns snatched up, the flamboyant woman pointed at Liu Zixuan, "You’re despicable!"
"How am I despicable? I’m a poor guy who loves buns, loves sharing them too, how does that bother you? Weren’t you just saying you’re rich? Why even eat buns then?" Liu Zixuan laughed mockingly.
"Honey, what’s going on?" Just then, a man with a beer belly in his forties walked over, asking.
"Husband! He’s bullying me!" Seeing her husband, the flamboyant woman immediately put on a pitiful look, completely different from her previous domineering demeanor.
